Elon knows millions of Americans hate him and are coming for him so he wants every single super-villain free to team up together.
No. He wants a racial war and Chauvin walking free is a surefire way to start one.
This whole thing is giving Manson Family
I find it funny how people on the right want the cop who shot that lady during the Jan 6 riot to be punished, yet think Chauvin was in the right....like how can you be so stupid....then again they probably don't care the cop shot her they care cuz he's black.
One cop shot a minority. One cop shot a Republican. To them one one of the victims is considered human. Take a guess as to which.
I kind of wish Chauvin shot Floyd instead of the TORTURE he put that man through. Slowly choking the life out of him as he begged for his life.
Why not give Zimmerman a Presidential Medal of Freedom while you're at it?
Ever see the south park episode on that?
Actually, no haha
elon can fuck right off with this bullshit
They're trying to Reichstag fire up their own Reichstag fire. Martial law in America as a toe dip for their invasion of Canada.
Couldn't he only be pardoned for the federal level conviction and not the state? Looking at his Wikipedia article, he has a 21 year fed sentence and a 22.5 state.
But yeah, this is a way to force violent protests and eventually martial law.
IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.
Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen... the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).
Which would be a crying shame, of course...
Maybe it won't be protests this time and just 30,000 people turning his body into something that doesn't resemble a human.
Presidential pardons are one of the dumbest powers. Change my mind.
(Plenty of more stable countries get on fine without it, and don't have to deal with this nonsense to boot)
People lose their shit over jury nullification, yet somehow pardons are A-OK
Pardons should not be a thing, in my lifetime its pretty much only been used for scummy shit.
Didn't Biden pardon everyone who was arrested for marijuana possession?
Chelsea Manning tho. Only non-scummy instance I can think of right now
Shout outs to pardoning Ross Ulbricht, while blaming Canada for fent
Now they're forcing the martial law.
I can nazi why not.
I'm sorry, folks. I'm trying a variation on the old adage. I'm terribly sorry.
Not for that cop, though, he deserves to rot.
If Trump pardons him he still has 20+years of state sentence to finish, this is a distraction….
They are about to do the biggest grift ever with the tax cuts for the rich.
All of this is a distraction
Yup, same with the tariffs. Drop the stock market by two percent and as the richest person in the world you’ve just invested billions
Frankly, I'm surprised he hasn't already.
Chauvin would join Kash Himmler's near future SA or NKVD private security detail. The single finger salute goes out to the neo-Nazis and their Government of Putin supporters.
Can someone kick off from ketamine? Cos I really hope he just does a little too much one night
Yes, but it's generally folks who IM it who do.
Matthew Perry is probably the most famous example. But growing up in the party scene, it does happen fairly often.
Yeah I wasn’t sure cos I know plenty of people who do it and are always all right for the most part. The effects never appealed to me so I just never partook but it seems like you really have to fuck up bad to be in serious trouble on it
Yeah, the IM users are bypassing first pass metabolism. And cranking up their tolerance to unsustainable levels.
Which makes it a lot more dangerous than for folks who snort or inhale it. So, we don't hear about many overdoses. Especially if someone is using a mist inhaler from a Dr.
Not really. And I wouldn’t pin this behavior on something that has therapeutic use anyway, ketamine deserves better.
I never pinned this on k, it’s just an avenue for him to kick off on
Right on, apologies if I came in a little hot
Yeah, Ketamine doesn't cause racism
The fact that Elon Musk is for pardoning someone who murdered an innocent person speaks volumes. Also, I can't see how this wouldn't lead to riots.
They want riots so they have a reason to put troops on the streets and “come down hard” to please their base.
If he gets pardoned I hope that will push the Americans harder to overthrow these sycophants. On the other hand it could be to try to trigger something so Cheeto Mussolini can crack down on the protests with violence.
