DaveTV1 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 George Floyd statue to be unveiled at Harris County park on the anniversary of his death (houstonchronicle.com) While I have problems with the way George Floyd died, he was a criminal and committed a crime while the arrest was being attempted and went awry. Had a private person did this on their property, I would have no issue with it. However this is a public park, and while the statue was donated by a local artist it has no place in a public park. George Floyd was not a role model, and having a statue in this park shouldn't be there for children to look up to. He may have had some redeeming qualities, but they are turning him into a hero in his hometown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progressive's will recognize the devil himself if it furthers their twisted narrative 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 This is today's America, sadly to say. We tear down statues that made part of this country's history and put up statues of meth head criminals, as if they were some kind of hero or patriot.
