Alright, here's the summary of
just Day 3, which somehow spanned
60+ fucking pages (between page 74 and 136). You absolute madlads. Fuck me, there was so much shit just in this 'summary' alone that I had to break it up into sections to try and improve the readability.
(Day 1 and Day 2 are
here).
03/31: Day 3
Pretrial
It's the stroke of midnight, and
@NerdShamer makes the cardinal mistake of
linking a LegalEagle video. Doesn't he know we're the
Rekieta fan forum? Anyway, this kicks off a
pages-long debate about
ethics in
Youtube Lawyering. Meanwhile
@artilleryfroth, exactly one week before his
infamous chimp-out at our
lovable fatass lawyer (Spoiler alert), reiterates that the
media knows a terrifying amount of information about the 'anonymous' jurors (that's all
by design, of course). A little while later: discussions on whether George Floyd
suffocated to death, whether a
knee on the neck would even cause that,
why we even need all these witnesses when they seem to have so much video footage of the incident, and why so many people seem to think this
drugged-out felon is Black Jesus.
@Wy4M puts in some solid work with a
background on Floyd's arrest, a background on
Floyd's history as a gangbanger and Federal informant, some
choice mugshots (and
more here), and
plenty of examples of knees on necks during proper arrest technique.
Trial
Day 3 of the trial begins! The
firefighter is back, to answer
4 minutes worth of questions that they couldn't ask her the previous day because she was busy being a massive bitch. Let's call the next witness:
another black teen to tug at the jurors' heartstrings! This one
works at a deli. Or a
phone repair shop. Those are basically the same thing, right? The security footage shows a
high-as-fuck Floyd, and he's
wobbling around and
wielding a banana. He then proceeds to use
counterfeit money to pay, which is
what set this whole debacle in motion of course (for those of us who
somehow missed this). Amid a brief debate on
whether robot cops are a good idea,
@General Disarray takes the opportunity to drop an
ever-apt link to 'Confessions of a Public Defender'.
Hey, has anyone else noticed that we're taking a
lot of breaks? Let's take this latest breather to debate
at length whether Twitter is representative of the United States or if it's
just a bunch of women bitching at each other all day. In the meantime, CNN comes out with a steaming hot take that
the shop should've just taken the fake money! It would've just been
deducted from the cashier's paycheck, what's the fuss? Anyway,
@formershroomeryuser keeps
sperging out but it's the defense's turn now. "
Did you see Mr Floyd do his little dance?" Did this kid see
anything, actually?
Ape Floyd is the
next witness! And maybe they should have
reminded this one who his 'teammates' are while they were busy
filtering out his ghetto commentary from their video evidence. Meanwhile
@formershroomeryuser is still trying to convince us all that "
for every good cop there is a bad cop", and that cops murdering people in broad daylight for fun
happens all the time, and that
he's totally not mad guys and that in fact
if he had to guess then
we are the ones who are mad. Then there's a debate about
whether the police knew about Floyd's habit of crying wolf and whether that even matters. The
ABC is convinced that the prosecution is winning. People are
again horrified that the store clerk deducts counterfeit transactions from his cashiers' paychecks, which prompts a friendly Farms discussion about
Chinese counterfeiting.
Oh right, the
trial's come back in session amid all of our nonsense. Apparently the break was because a
juror was having a panic attack! This latest witness is
60 years old with a 3rd-grade education level and the
mental dexterity of a toddler, but even
he could manage to
don a suit for a court appearance,
answer questions respectfully, and
knows better than to fight cops. Oh wait nevermind,
here comes the crying (just as
planned). But wait, he's
staying the course! He's just
reporting the facts as he knows them: that Floyd was foaming at the mouth and needed to
lol calm down.
Just in
time for a break! Damn, Cahill
really loves his breaks, huh? It's
almost meme-able at this point. Anyway, 'Fat Kamala', the journalist caught taking photographs after the previous day's testimony,
has outed herself on Twitter and is
getting lit up in the replies (also
here). At this point we're all agreed that we're pretty much looking at
riots no matter what the verdict is.
The
final witness for the day is a white pony-tailed boomer IT guy and we're going to watch the
surveillance video again. Yawn. Hey guys,
what's jury nullification? Damn, this
body-cam footage of George Floyd spazzing out really isn't helping the prosecution's case. Are they
trying to deliberately throw this thing? The cops seem
professional and
downright courteous given the circumstances. Woah, wait a minute. Is that
Chauvin's knee on Floyd's back and
not his neck? That's not good. Whew, feeling a little sleepy though; let's just flip over to
CNN and MSNBC's sudden extensive coverage of Joe Biden instead.
We love Joe Biden, and we also love CNN, those
accelerationist rascals. Also
imagine being the poor store clerk in all of this, who may have unintentionally triggered the next civil war over a fake $20 bill.
Post-trial
But it's time to
shut it down for today. The
trial, that is.
@formershroomeryuser is
still seething though, hours later. We're all
so mad! And he's so
unmad that he's taken to
shitting up other people's profile pages. 4chan apparently
raided the Reddit Chauvin trial megathread, but they better watch out: the
jannies will take their Reddit karma away! The traditional post-trial spergatory turns to the topics of
BLM, the
inevitable riots,
sudden onset tard-strength,
America's racial history, the
Philadelphia bombings,
how black people should act online and also
in real life, the
cocktail of drugs that were in Floyd's system when he died, and
goat escapology. By the way, those court videos with Floyd holding the banana were photoshopped, right?
...Please?
Memes
On to the memes. First some congratulations to
@Wayneright for making the
Fentanyl shuffle meme, which manages to
make its way to 4chan and
then back again to be
reposted in the thread, all in the span of
10 minutes. Also, we have "
This is my banana!".
Curious George somehow (and hilariously) generates some
immediate pearl-clutching. Nelson is a
friend to everyone and
Banana Lives Matter. Don't forget to watch
Godzilla vs King Kong. The
"Floyd's Feed and Seed" video is reposted again as proof positive that God exists and he is a /pol/ack. "
I can't breed!" for Transgender Day of Visability (why is that even a thing). The prosecution calls an
AI hologram of George Floyd as a surprise witness! (A
disappointing number of you
fell for this.)
Chauvin Sneed and
Dance Dance Floydolution. And last but not least,
@Windex Drinker made a
meme about the
@formershroomeryuser chimp-out.
