Guest Post by Ann Coulter
In modern America, we periodically offer up white men as human sacrifices to the PC gods. Among our benefactions: Jake Gardner, Kyle Rittenhouse, Darren Wilson, the Duke lacrosse players, University of Virginia fraternity members, Stacey Koon and Mark Fuhrman.
The rest of us just keep our heads down and pray we won’t be next.
At least the Duke and UVA human offerings were sufficiently upper-crust to have a few journalists and lawyers defending them. But policemen, bar owners, military veterans and a Midwest teenager? Definitely not our crowd, darling.
Currently, Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is on trial for killing George Floyd by kneeling on his neck, as it appeared in cellphone videos. You may remember something about this: It’s why America had to burn in 2020.
But the chief medical examiner’s report establishes that, however else Floyd died, it wasn’t from Chauvin’s knee. Oopsie! I guess it wasn’t absolutely essential that our country go through eight months of looting, riots and mostly peaceful arsons.
In lieu of citing some B.S. media “fact check,” I shall quote directly from the autopsy report by the Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner, Andrew Baker:
“No life-threatening injuries identified —
“A. No facial, oral mucosal, or conjunctival petechiae
“B. No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal structures
“C. No scalp soft tissue, skull, or brain injuries
“D. No chest wall soft tissue injuries, rib fractures (other than a single rib fracture from CPR), vertebral column injuries, or visceral injuries
“E. Incision and subcutaneous dissection of posterior and lateral neck, shoulders, back, flanks, and buttocks negative for occult trauma”
In short: No bloodshot eyes and no trauma to any part of Floyd’s neck.
And yet, day after day, prosecutors, witnesses and the media tell us that Chauvin “squeezed the life out of” Floyd. The medical evidence establishes that whatever else caused his death, it was NOT asphyxiation.
That’s the entire case against Officer Chauvin! But the howling mob isn’t giving up its holy religious observance because of one dork in a lab coat. The sun might not rise! The city of Minneapolis could be wiped out! Wait — that might actually happen.
The medical examiner also found that Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system — I don’t want to say “to kill a horse,” because that would be a cliche. But it would be enough to bump off an entire team of Budweiser Clydesdales. In technical medical jargon:
“A. Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens:
“1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL”
That’s just the first few words of the “Toxicology” section. Also listed are norfentanyl, 4-ANPP, methamphetamine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, morphine and so on.
But the 11 nanograms per milliliter of fentanyl is rather important, inasmuch as the chief medical examiner called this “a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances,” saying, “deaths have been certified with levels of 3.”
Three. But George Floyd went up to 11.
Naturally, Baker was quick to add, “I am not saying this killed him.” Please don’t throw me to the woke gods! Leave me to my test tubes! (And you thought lawyers were craven.)
I have a feeling we’re about to see another example of the left not accepting science.
In addition to liberals refusing to accept the science of:
— DNA (the O.J. trial)
— AIDS (we’re still waiting for that big heterosexual outbreak!)
— Cancer clusters and breast implants (billions of dollars wasted and companies destroyed because of the left’s adherence to junk science)
— I.Q. (just watch the reaction to my mentioning this hate-science) …
… we can now add “pharmacology”!
You mean to say that just by sticking a syringe in someone’s arm you can tell if he’s been taking drugs? That’s a lot of mumbo-jumbo, just like the moon landing.
This trial is a total sham, but the entire power of the state, the media, the left-wing shock troops and the country’s finest legal talent is being deployed against Derek Chauvin.
In addition to Minnesota’s top prosecutor, the state has hired Neal Katyal, former solicitor general of the United States — an unheard-of maneuver in a case that doesn’t involve some highly technical specialty, like antitrust. A slew of lawyers are working pro bono for the prosecutor — also unheard of. The state has unlimited resources to pursue Chauvin.
Against this, Chauvin has one lone defense attorney, Eric “Atticus Finch” Nelson. The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association’s legal defense fund will put up to $1 million toward his defense, and Nelson can talk to the other rotating attorneys whom the fund employs. But unless they’re working pro bono, too, $1 million runs out pretty fast.
The legal mismatch in the O.J. Simpson case wasn’t this one-sided.
In the middle of jury selection, the city of Minneapolis announced an eye-popping civil settlement of $27 million with the family of George Floyd. Liberals are still denouncing Richard Nixon for a 1970 speech in which he inadvertently described defendant Charles Manson as someone who was “guilty, directly or indirectly, of eight murders” — leading to demands for a mistrial.
What does a $27 million settlement with the family of the alleged victim say?
Black residents of Minneapolis are threatening to burn the place down if Chauvin isn’t convicted — and the only reason anyone thinks a jury could possibly return a guilty verdict is that they believe them.
In the darkest days of Jim Crow, the entire country never ganged up on a single individual like this.
Please, gods of wokeness, we ask that his human sacrifice be acceptable!
Throw another virgin into the volcano.

It will burn either way, Ann. If he is convicted, what police officer in his right (or left) mind would respond to “certain” types of calls?
Even if Derek Chauvin is acquitted his life will be ruined. He is not guilty but he is being tried in the media and a kangaroo court.
If you watch the assembled timeline video, floyd is in difficulty complaining he cant breathe long befor chauvin kneels on his neck. These cops were negligent and should have gotten help for him. Its manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide.
Now lick the boot and explain why i’m wrong. But find and watch the timeline vid first.
OK, Appletard. Look at my later post on this thread. I refuted your stupid, TV watching ass without licking any boot. You licked the media’s asses, though.
You’re not wrong at all. It’s the very definition of “reckless indifference” which is part of the description of third degree murder under MN law. That’s why the defense fought so hard (unsuccessfully) to keep third degree murder off the table. Ann goes overboard here to defend this AGW (armed government worker). Floyd may have died of an overdose even if no one had touched him, but we’ll never know because Chauvin was stupid enough to keep kneeling on his neck long after he’d been handcuffed and manacled and was limp on the ground. Chauvin was callously and recklessly indifferent to whether continuing to kneel on Floyd might be contributing to Floyd’s death. He didn’t give it a second’s thought because cops almost never get charged with anything and he was “following muh training”.
Imagine if your son got shitfaced drunk at a frat party and an AGW stormed in and knelt on his neck for nine minutes (a good seven minutes after he’d gone limp) and he ended up dead. Would “he died of alcohol poisoning” absolve the cop?
You are an idiot, Iska. Try looking at the facts.
ICYMI, the police DID call for an ambulance for this POS … who self-overdosed on fentanyl plus the other 4 or 5 drugs in his system …
When cops and niggers go at it, I don’t have a dog in that fight. And even if you’re not racist, look at his criminal record and deny Floyd was a nigger
You’re as bad as the bootlickers.
The nigger on drugs committing crimes is the only one negligent here, you degenerate scumbag.
They called an ambulance well before he succumbed to his heart attack, genius
I would not want to be a police officer today or a veteran. These jobs have become the perfect catch 22. I blame the media, the churchs that have rolled over, the representatives at all levels, the attorneys, who have finally shown their true parasitic nature, the money changers or carpet baggers, the education system and last but not least the people of this country. I don’t care what f’ing color sex or what have you they are. The buck truly stops at the people. Once the people stand to be counted this shit storm will eventually end. The old saying,” You will reap what you sow”, comes to mind.
It all stems from two things. Laziness and cowardice. Not everyone. But more than enough to shift the culture in this country.
“Derek Chauvin is on trial for killing George Floyd by kneeling on his neck,”
Nobody knelt on Jawge’s neck. The restraint consisted of kneeling (putting all of the cop’s weight) on one knee on the ground and placing the other knee against the OD’d subject’s neck or head while the subject is handcuffed behind the back. This is a common tactic for dealing with an arrestee who has OD’ed and is flailing around. It is used to restrain someone without harming them further.
Ann, you can’t make your point by agreeing with the media narrative. Describe the restraint tactic first, then quote the autopsy results as to the observation of an absence of injury to the neck. You fucked this one up, Ann. You can STFU now.
I have no use for police anymore. They are armed thugs, armed like an army and not responsible for any harm they do. Asset forfeiture anyone? Tossing a flash bang into a baby’s crib and then laughing about it? Killing people in their beds when they attack the wrong address? Killing family pets the size of chihuahuas and dogs in their yards, dogs not harming anyone or acting threatening in any way. Killing a man crawling on his knees, begging for his life, no prosecution, no crime and special allowances made so the murderer can get his pension? Beating a homeless man to death, beating him so badly that he resembles raw liver, no face left.
Sorry, I can’t work up any sympathy for cops OR criminals, especially the very special class of Obama’s sons criminals.
Federal LE get a lot more immunity than your local cop. We still don’t know which Fed murdered the unarmed woman in the Crapitol Bldg.
That was fake,or you can say another FF…
Yes, we do. Look for him on the net, another BLM cop.
I’m not sympathetic to cops, either, Girlie. I just hate lies and liars. Where’s the picture of Jawge Flord with his neck all fucked up? This is about lies being told to stir up hatred. Try to keep up.
Take issue with what I wrote instead of inventing something in your head that makes you think you’re right.
Years ago, the radio talk-show host Michael Savage described liberalism as a: “Mental Disorder.” What you are seeing in Minneapolis-St. Paul is the culmination of years and years of leftist infection of the body politic in MN. The Marxist Farmer-Labor Party started it all with the likes of useful idiots such as Hubert Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy. Add to that, the mass immigration of Somalis, and the influence of the apostate deviates in the ELCA, and viola’- the inmates are running the asylum.
What Ms. Coulter forgot to include in her list of sacrificial lambs is the LEO from Ferguson, MO. Even though that poor soul was exonerated, he still had to flee into obscurity and even change his name. This begs the question: Why would any sane person want to be a cop? As a retired Peace Officer who watched SoCal disintegrate for over thirty years, I cannot answer that question. As a current school teacher, I move heaven and earth to lecture my students about going into that thankless profession.
Amerikan society gets the type of government(at all levels) it deserves. And, that government cannot take any measures against its citizenry without the cooperation and efforts of thugs and thugettes with badges and guns. My hope is that very soon, the thugs and thugettes will realize they have been played by their corporate masters, fold their tents and steal away. We are already seeing such results in the Blue Hives, where violent crime rates are skyrocketing. We live in interesting times. Plan accordingly. Bleib ubrig.
Awesome. I nominate YOU, Ms. Adamsapple.
Totally uncalled for! Won’t read any more of your posts, and I don’t even especially care for Ann Coulter.
Ann was anti-Trump, eviscerating him on her national platform as often as possible …. waaay before most of us became disappointed in him.
But, that was several news cycles ago, and it seems you, like so many Americans, can’t remember what happened last week. I have a longer memory. Never trust a backstabber.
Oh, one more thing. Blow me.
Glad all those protesters could get a day off work
The Left needs sacrifices in order to know it is alive and things are going well. One virgin is not enough, nor is an entire bag of potato chips. Reason has no part to play in the sacrificial game. “I feel therefore I am. And you, over there, you had better feel me, too, or else”
It all seems so stupid it’s hard to believe it’s true. So a person’s life is worth 27 million? Big city people are hard to understand.
Feds found $900,000 in counterfeit bills headed for Minneapolis from Canada. George Floyd was trying to pass off a phony $20….

George Floyd And Derek Chauvin Worked At The Same Nightclub—But May Not Have Known Each Other, Owner Says
Carlie Porterfield Forbes Staff
Updated May 29, 2020, 05:38pm EDT
George Floyd, a black man whose death Monday sparked ongoing protests and Derek Chauvin, identified by local media as the officer who was videotaped kneeling on Floyd’s neck for minutes shortly before his death, worked at the same nightclub near Minneapolis’ Third Precinct for a whole year and may have had overlapping shifts, according to the club’s owner, though it’s unclear if the two men knew each other.
KEY FACTS
Maya Santamaria owned El Nuevo Rodeo Club in Minneapolis’ south side until selling it just months ago, and confirmed to local media outlets that both Floyd and Chauvin worked security at the establishment.
Chauvin served as the club’s off-duty officer for nearly 17 years, while Floyd worked there for roughly a year in 2019 and did security for around a dozen events, Santamaria told the Associated Press.
Santamaria told ABC5 that she does not know if the two ever spoke, because Chauvin worked outside the club while security guards, like Floyd, worked inside, but did confirm both men worked at the establishment for the whole of 2019.
If the two men had crossed paths during their time at the nightclub, “it would probably not have been something they remembered,” Santamaria told The Star Tribune, partly because there were often several dozen people working security on popular music nights.
Chauvin “sometimes had a real short fuse,” Santamaria told ABC5. “He seemed afraid when there was an altercation. He always resorted to pulling out his mace and pepper spraying everyone right away, even when I felt it was unwarranted.”
Andrea Jenkins, vice president of Minneapolis City Council, told MSNBC the two men worked at the restaurant together for 17 years, and that Chauvin knew Floyd—but Santamaria’s account contradicts Jenkins’ statement, and Floyd reportedly only moved to Minneapolis around 2014, according to friends of Floyd
ok, and? that’s year old ‘news’ and doesnt mean shit.
Keep fuckin around and yo’ nutz be hurtin too.
That’s the problem with putting someone in custody. Their problems become your problem. In hospital, that’s why they permit the staff to be assaulted or nearly so before authorizing restraint usage. Once you tie them down, their heart problem or their respiratory problem becomes your responsibility, if it kills them while in restraint. There is a much higher obligation for ensuring safety and care when you take physical control if someone. I really wanted to be on the side of acquittal, because it seems like stupid bad luck that this guy overdosed just at the wrong time. But after watching the video, it appears to me that he did not monitor with enough care. That’s probably negligent something.
With the drugs in Mr. Floyd’s system. If the police had shown up 10 – 15 minutes later…. Just another balck person dead by OD. 30 year FF/PM There wasn’t enough Narcan on my Rescue Truck to reverse it. If my math is right. It’s been a while .” Narcan is the brand name of a drug called naloxone, which is an opioid antidote. As opioid-related deaths have been on the rise throughout the United States, Narcan has become a life-saving mechanism to help reverse the effects of an overdose.
People wonder, “Does Narcan work on fentanyl?” because while fentanyl is an opioid, it also significantly more potent than most other opioids. The following provides an overview of what Narcan is and how it works, and also answers the question “Does Narcan work on fentanyl?”
Does Narcan Work on Fentanyl?
What is Narcan (Naloxone)?
Narcan or naloxone is an opiate antidote. Opioids include not only fentanyl but also heroin and prescription painkillers like morphine, codeine, methadone, and oxycodone. When someone overdoses on an opioid, their respiration slows down or stops altogether.
Narcan is a prescription medicine that can block the impact of opioids and reverse an overdose, and it’s not something that can be used to get high. If someone takes Narcan and they haven’t taken opioids, the medication has zero effect on them.
Narcan works by moving the opioid components of the drugs out of opioid receptors found in the brain. It can work even when opioids are paired with other substances, such as alcohol or other drugs. When someone is given a dose of Narcan, it is intended to help them start breathing again.
However, it’s important to understand that if someone has overdosed on a drug that’s not classified as an opioid, Narcan will not work. Also, if someone has taken opioids but isn’t actually experiencing an overdose and they take Narcan, it can send them into an instantaneous state of withdrawal, which can be highly uncomfortable.
Narcan is given to someone who is overdosing through an injection or as a nasal spray, and this medicine is responsible for reversing thousands of opioid overdoses.
Trained individuals and physicians can prescribe Narcan, and it usually starts working within about five minutes.

What Does a Fentanyl Overdose Look Like?
A fentanyl overdose can be incredibly scary, and these scenarios are responsible for thousands of deaths each year. In recent years, the number of overdose deaths related to fentanyl has risen dramatically, and this is largely because of how potent even pharmaceutical grade fentanyl is. This doesn’t even speak to the fact that illicit fentanyl is often even stronger, and many times people take heroin and other drugs laced with fentanyl without even realizing it.
The chances of an overdose of fentanyl are greater than with other opioids, and an overdose can also happen more quickly because of the potency of this drug, and there are many situations where misusing fentanyl turns out to be fatal.
Some of the signs of a fentanyl overdose can include confusion, choking sounds, throwing up, seizures, low blood pressure, blue tinted lips or nails, pinpoint pupils, seizures, a slowed heart rate, and excessive drowsiness. Fentanyl overdoses can also lead to breathing problems, slow, shallow breathing, respiratory arrest, and death.
Does Narcan Work on Fentanyl?
So, does Narcan work on fentanyl? Yes, it does, but there are some things to keep in mind. While Narcan can work on fentanyl overdoses, these situations often happen extremely quickly, so it can be tough to act quickly enough to reverse a fentanyl overdose.
Also, according to the CDC, multiple doses of naloxone may be required following a fentanyl overdose because of how potent fentanyl is in comparison to other opioids. This can be especially true when someone takes heroin or other drugs that are laced with fentanyl.
It was a FF.
