Everyone cheered when Chauvin was found guilty and rightly so.

Do you find it interesting that many folks also cheered when OJ Simpson was found innocent? I wonder why.

    I didn't cheer when OJ was found innocent.  I believe he is/was guilty.

    Not everyone cheered there is a lot of hate groups that think it is  a  black market on  the country  and they will be out for revenge.  I think OJ was guilty but he got off because he was a celeberty. Cheers!

  • A lot of people cheered when OJ was found innocent because in many ways, the OJ trial was a referendum on the Rodney King trial. OJ being found innocent was proof that racist cops don't always win. Unfortunately it became less and less about what OJ actually did or didn't do. To many in America, he was a famous black man that the racist system was trying to cut down and his win was seen as a victory.

    All true, but he still did it. That's why he was dogged for so many years.

    I'll preface this by saying that I've never seen the video, though I've seen the photo from the video with him kneeling on George Floyd on news stories. I don't wish to see a man die. 

    That being said, from all accounts I've heard, he deserves to be punished significantly. I did watch the verdict being read yesterday and seeing his face, I strangely couldn't help but feel compassion for his mother, his family, and even for him. And then I thought about George Floyd's family, about the man himself, about the numerous wrongful deaths of Black men at the hands of the police that have gone unpunished. I thought about the reality that is today's America and where culpability lies for the racial inequality and continued oppression of other than Caucasian and to a great extent, other than male citizens. (Yes, I think a lot of things.) Wait... what was the question? Oh, yeah. I wouldn't say that I cheered, but I certainly felt satisfied and like some progress might be made. 

    I did not cheer when OJ was acquitted, but I didn't really pay much attention to the arrest and trial compared to the average person. I had young children and was watching Sesame Street or something. Haha. But I definitely knew enough to know he was acquitted because of his celebrity, not because he wasn't guilty.

    yes It was Chauvin's complete fault that the BLM protesters sparked covid cases over the last summer after he killed George Floyd.
    he deserves to go to hell with covid in him.

    They did say he harbored a look of indifference which they claim is worse then hate. Unless he is incapable of emotional feeling. It's always a possibility. Here.

    Mycotoxins

    J. W. Bennett and M. Klich

    Additional article information

    ABSTRACT

    Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by microfungi that are capable of causing disease and death in humans and other animals. Because of their pharmacological activity, some mycotoxins or mycotoxin derivatives have found use as antibiotics, growth promotants, and other kinds of drugs; still others have been implicated as chemical warfare agents. This review focuses on the most important ones associated with human and veterinary diseases, including aflatoxin, citrinin, ergot akaloids, fumonisins, ochratoxin A, patulin, trichothecenes, and zearalenone
