I wonder if Derek is now realizing that the entire system he worked for and upheld only produces violence. It's not that he shouldn't be stabbed, but that no one in the justice system should be subject to the violence he himself subjected on others, like Floyd. Truly hosted by his own peitard.
And for that reason, my sympathies are limited.
They all know that already - they just think its a good thing because the pain is inflicted on those they consider the "bad kind" of person.
The reality is that when fascists are confronted by their own violence, they aren't against the violence, they're just against it happening to them, because they think they are the "good kind" of person.
Nah he will go to his grave saying he didn’t do anything wrong
He already knew that - that's why he joined the pigs.
I thought it was "foisted by their own petard".
a Petard is a bomb. To be hoist by one is to be blown into the air.
Yup. Apparently I was just horribly wrong.
I deferred to Wikipedia.
And you were correct. Not sure where I got my version.
You got some of the words right.
Yuuuup. Oh well. At this pint I think it would be more embarrassing to go back and edit. 😂
