The Other Side Of George Floyd
Candace Owens[0]: ‘George Floyd is not my Martyr; he may be yours’
“What I’m saying is not any defense for Derek Chauvin; I hope Derek Chauvin gets
the justice that he deserves” and George Floyd’s family also for the way that he
died. But, “George Floyd is not my martyr. He may be yours.” So said Candace Owens
a black defender of liberty in a recent YouTube video.
Owens continues, “But I also am not going to accept the narrative that this is
the best the black community has to offer. For whatever reason, it has become
fashionable and despicable for us, the last few years, to turn criminals into
heros overnight.” And “I’m not going to play a part in it, no matter how much
pressure comes from black liberals and black conservatives.”
Officer Derek Chauvin is portrayed by the media “as the devil, that he is” and
is not uplifted or defended by white Americans “but George Floyd is being
uplifted as an amazing human being,” which he is not. At the time of his arrest,
he was high on fentanyl and methamphetamine, according to both autopsy reports.
The 911 police call transcript calling for help “described somebody who was
out-of-their-mind high,” and that they were fearful of his behavior both during
his attempt to use “a fake bill to purchase something” and thereafter until police
arrived.
A clip of him placed in handcuffs and against the wall showed a white baggie falling
from his body. “The media is refusing to circulate it,” Owens said. “You can find it
on Twitter if you use DuckDuckGo and look up, George Floyd baggie. You can watch
the clip yourself with your own eyes. He had drugs on him at the time of his arrest.”
So what else has the media not shared about Mr. Floyd? Apparently he has been a
convicted felon for some time — at least five times, beginning in 1998 with “theft
with a firearm.” For that, he served 10 months. And again, eight months in 2004,
“for a cocaine offense.” And again for cocaine another ten months in 2005. Another
ten months for cocaine in 2007.
But the event that convinced Candace Owens most that Floyd was not a good
person — most certainly not the outstanding citizen to have T-shirts made and
distributed in his name as a pillar of society representing the black community — was
when he and five others forced entry into a black pregnant woman’s home to
rob her.
“George Floyd took out a gun and pressed it to her stomach. She was screaming,
begging for her life and he put her inside of her living room and instructed one
of his criminal friends that were with him to watch her, and to make sure she
didn’t leave the living room … while they ransacked [her] home looking for drugs
and money.” Finding neither, they ended up taking her wallet and cell phone.
A neighbor, viewing some of the above, called in the license plate of the vehicle
driven by Floyd and he served a five-year sentence, his sixth, being released in 2014.
Owens was quick to note that, even with a record you may deserve another chance.
People make mistakes. “But I do draw the line when it comes to second, third, fourth,
fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth chances.” But Floyd was still breaking laws dealing
with counterfeiting, using fentanyl and methamphetamine when arrested on May 25, 2020.
None of this justifies a police officer placing his knee on the prostrated victim’s neck
causing his death. Nothing!
Still, “he was an example of a violent criminal his entire life. This does not mean that he
deserves to die at the hands of police but,” Owens explains, “it does mean that I am not
going to play a part of the broken black culture that always wants to martyr criminals.
Who wants to pretend they were these upstanding human beings.”
Owens was noticeably disturbed with America’s rush to judgment. Few were willing to
wait for other information before taking to the streets to burn, loot, and riot against
one another. “I did just basic searches,” she said, implying that anyone could know the
same by doing a little homework.
George Floyd is a martyr for a fake narrative. “Racially motivated police brutality
is a myth.” She cites 2018 figures showing that violent white criminals have a 25%
higher chance of dying from police than black violent criminals. Moreover, that nine u
narmed blacks versus 19 unarmed whites were killed in 2018. “Unfortunately, the
black community … commits a disproportionate amount of crimes compared to the
white community … black men, 6% of the population, count for 44% of all murders i
n this country according to 2018 statistics.” Respecting the myth that cops hunt blacks
disproportionately because they are black, she added, that this is “complete smoke
and mirrors! It’s all made up! It’s just election fodder! It’s white versus black because i
t’s an election year.”
Not only are we allowing this myth “to inspire riots, riots in which black people are
dying, in which actual upstanding black citizens are dying.” She references, 77-year-old
David Dorn, a black retired police officer just defending a black friend’s pawn shop,
openly murdered by a black assailant.
With respect to black on black crime which is the major problem in black communities,
never addressed by Democrat media or politicians, “We blame white people. Right!
We only point a camera to white people when they do something, even though we do
it at a higher rate to ourselves, right!”
She might have added, “And it works so well for keeping my people enslaved to the
Democrat Party.” So “if you want to hang up posters of criminals on your wall and
talk about them as your martyrs, do it, do it, you can do it!” But “you’re not going
to catch me outside, trying to grab a TV pretending it’s because a martyr named
George Floyd got killed.”
