Anybody that pretends to feel sorry for, or care about somebody in a court room when a camera is rolling is usually the kind of person who wants to go back to laughing about the whole thing later on (while saying something like it wasn't funny at the time, but it was funny afterward).
The lawyers don't give a fuck about George Floyd or his life, any more than anybody else that never met the guy. He didn't even exist to most people around the world until May 25, 2020. Nobody that doesn't know a guy has sympathy for him, that isn't human.

No matter who tries to tell them they had the wrong mindset, they fought to the end and didn't change for anyone. Their fans would take that over becoming a different team just to win a game any day.
The Charlotte Hornets made it to where they made it. There was nothing stunning about them not making the playoffs, people saw it coming from as soon as the media started adding hype and excitement about the playoffs well before the end of the season, some of us knew something would happen to throw them off course, and it turned out to be the injuries.

A lot of times, people say somebody needs more of a sense of urgency about something they want them to panic about. Needing a new heart to live, or missing a few body parts seems more like something you would have a sense of urgency about than the NBA playoffs, but even then life is worth losing, so what is so important or urgent about it?
Urgency is an overused word if people are starting to refer to the NBA playoffs or any other sports games, no matter the stakes or bets involved, as something to get urgent about.

Females are really the tyrants males dont really get to be in their dreams, because females have gotten males to police each other for them.
The female tyrant was behind the male tyrant that butchered the entire village, that was before feminism, it was hundreds of years before feminism in the middle ages (despite claims by misinforming females that females have only had rights for the last few decades). There have been male monarchs, there have female monarchs throughout history. There have been patriarchal and matriarchal structures always, so to break down one, you'd have to be willing to break down all of them.

Roy Cooper shut everything down until he feels that the numbers make him feel good. Everyone else has to understand he's just a child playing with their lives.

A movie that was not about a group of people trying to blow away some brown-skinned people. Yea, the main character was a guy named Big Daddy Jake Sully or something like that, and the other characters he met that weren't from earth had dreadlocks and lived in the jungle, but you knew they weren't brown-skinned humans (or Indians) because they were dark blue skinned (think of them as being closer to blue hedgehogs) aliens from the planet Pandora. Unobtanium wasn't like silver, gold, or oil, it was something so valuable EarthLink went to war with natives of another planet to get it, but it was unontanium, even if they got a little bit of it, they'd never really get the kind of uranium they went to war over. In the end Big Daddy Jake Sully goes to prcotcect his new friends on his new planet, nothing like that has ever happened before, since brown-skinned people don't fly on the backs of pterodactyls on real life, you can tell the avatars are dark blue skinned aliens, not humans.
Avatar wasn't a movie about human greed, it was a movie about being comfortable with 9 foot tall dark blue skinned aliens that were not anything like the biblical description of goliath, they were decent aliens.
