    Harry, you're confusing "worshipping" with "commemorating" No one is worshipping George Floyd. The murals exist to remind everyone that police-brutality is a problem that needs to be adressed and the George Floyd case is the worst example since Rodney King. The fact that he did this or that is completely irrelevant. First of all, the murderer did not check up on George Floyd police record before commencing his action and even if he had, it would still be no justification what what he did.

    What happend to George Floyd that day could have happened to anyone and all too often it does. Sure, Fox News like to talk about what the victim did, or report on another victims dirty toenails but fact is, none if this is relevant to the case. And you can't sweep anything "under the rug" that is irrelevant.

    We are joining hands and sing #NotAllMuslims after a terrorist attack because Fox News immediately attack the entire religion and brandish them all terrorists. it is a tactic that has clearly worked on the likes of Lauren Boebert because she is either naturally dumb or has been brainwashed by right-wing news outlets. Please also note that in my post, I did not attack Christianity, but lunatic rightwing hate preachers. This is very different to what you are suggesting is happening.

    Re. Clinton: "Hillary Clinton has shown that her foreign policy is to support the militaristic status quo." Really? I dont even know where to start but I could probably find dozens of quotes along the lines of:

    - I'm gonna totally mess with Iran, they will be sorry.
    - I'm gonna build the biggest strongest military, it will be so beautiful.
    - Our F-35s are so great, they are invisible. No really, they are invisible.
    - My button is bigger than yours.
    - Rocket Man, watch your back.
    - They are going to be hurting so much, they will be sorry.

    Ah yes. Just words..... Let's have a look at his actions here is a selection of just his first 100 days which have been referred to as "reckless endangerment" by CAP:
    • Trump authorized a botched special operations raid in late January that left a Navy SEAL and several civilians dead.4 His administration also discreetly escalated the American air campaign against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in early March.5 In addition, Secretary Mattis has requested authorization to give greater military assistance to the Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen.6
    • Syria: Trump ordered a cruise missile strike against an Assad-regime airfield in retaliation for the regime’s April 4 sarin nerve agent attack on civilians. The week before the sarin attack and American retaliation, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley both stated that the United States no longer sought Assad’s removal from power, sending a mixed signal at best.7
    • Somalia: Trump eased Obama-era restrictions on the use of force in Somalia, giving military commanders more freedom of action against the Al Qaeda-affiliated al-Shabab terrorist group.8 Dozens of American soldiers have since deployed to Somalia on a mission to train and equip the Somali National Army.9
    • North Korea: In response to Pyongyang’s continued development of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, the Trump administration has threatened to use force against North Korea, either to pre-empt or retaliate for a missile or nuclear weapons test. Vice President Mike Pence, for instance, proclaimed that the “era of strategic patience is over” during a recent trip to South Korea, while after North Korea’s early April missile test, Secretary Tillerson declared, “The United States has spoken enough about North Korea.”10
