The circus is in town!

"Is there a lessons learned we can take away from this trial? Only one in my book. Stay away from Minneapolis. Law and order are becoming ancient terms, which are no longer practiced. The once fine city of Minneapolis is badly in need of a make over."   

When I was a young boy, one of the most exciting things I could hear was, "The circus is back in town!" But alas and alack - times have changed. The circus no longer comes to town, and if it did, the animal rights nut balls, would be killing any joy that kids might have from watching it. No matter how humane all the animals were treated, it would not be good enough for the lefties. So the Barnum and Bailey experience now lives in the ash heap of history.

But hold on! Right now, we have another circus in town! And with this circus, the lefties love it! I am talking about the George Floyd "murder" trial. This is a trial which will have no winners, no matter how the jury rules. The prosecution, headed up by the worst AG in the country (KE), has an army of lawyers, which make OJ's legal team look paltry. Chauvin's legal team on the other hand, is small. But regardless of the size of Chauvin's team, he might have another ally on his team. That would be the truth.

First off, I am amazed this trial is being held in Minneapolis. Finding 12 to 14 fair and impartial jurors would be a bridge too far in this town. Even though this trial has national exposure, I would have moved it to outstate Minnesota. The percentage of loons living outstate, is only a fraction of the loons who live in Hennepin or Ramsey counties.

Plus, Ellison's kid as some of his council associates, decided BEFORE the trial, to give Floyd's family a king's ransom of money as compensation. Money the city does not have. Money that could cause the trial to come to a screeching halt. But who cares? Nobody on the City Council or the AG team has a lick of sense.

Then of course, there is the 100,000 dollar question. What if during the trial, it is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that George Floyd died of Fentanyl poisoning? And not the knee of Dereck Chauvin? What then? Does the city ask the Floyd family for the money back? Fat chance.

Like I said - no winners in this circus. Should Chauvin not be convicted, very few people in Minneapolis will be satisfied with that outcome. In fact, some might want to burn the place down (again). However, if Chauvin is convicted, stand by for the mother of all appeals. This process could go on until Jacob Frey is an old man. Bottom line - this is a mess, a very hot mess.

Am I a fan of Dereck Chauvin? Not really. I think he is a flawed man. Is he a murderer? Maybe - but proving that may be a tall mountain. Here is what I think. What happened on that Memorial Day weekend, by the intersection of Chicago and Lake, was a series of unfortunate events. Many losers, with no winners. 

Is there a lesson learned we can take away from this trial? Only one in my book. Stay away from Minneapolis. Law and order are becoming ancient terms, which are no longer practiced. The once fine city of Minneapolis, is badly in need of a make over. A big time make over.
