Making it rain at George Floyd Square

I saw this happening in real time on TV this afternoon. Part of the celebration in George Floyd Square at the announcement of three guilty counts on Derek Chauvin, celebrators made it rain. A guy being interviewed on camera cut things off to grab some $1s.
Got something to say?

My mistake - I thought this was an R Kelly type of rain.
I would pick up the $$ and hail a cab over to my favorite burger joint, Matt’s Bar, the home of the Jucy Lucy! The melted cheese in the middle will burn your mouth hotter than a freshly microwaved hot pocket.
Bacon!!
flip to another channel - disappointed. the fucking guy only tossed out singles. i thought he was handling out 20's. ya know: 'ol george got into a mess because of a 20. i wonder if the tossed singles were as real as that 20 dollar bill that georgie had.
i was also checking the store that was closed next door. the one that had this big ass awning. the store sells stamps, keys, pizza, milk, halal, etc. imagine this - someone from that crowd going to the owner of that store with a fake hundred with georgie's face on it and saying, "you are gonna accept this bill or else.."
Don't get me wrong, I think what happened to Chauvin was just. Police cannot just kill a helpless man because he's a POS. It's long past time that a message was sent when something like that happened.
But this martyrdom nonsense re: Floyd is just plain silly. He was a career violent felon who hurt a great many people. His death made the world a little bit better place. It just should not have happened like it did.
My view remains unchanged. Chauvin is a POS cop who thought he could kill and not face consequences. Floyd was a criminal and drug addict - and he did not deserve to be murdered by a police officer. Based on the trial evidence - his days were numbered.
Agree with this too. This is a case of one piece of shit killing another piece of shit. Sadly there are no heroes in this story.
^ you are proving my point skibum. You enjoyed the life and success that the GI and Silent generation before you created, but when it comes to putting in work to mKe the world a better place, or fixing the crisis at hand, you want no part of it. You are exactly the loser you call emigrants who come here to make a better life. You sir, are a slacker.
When I was doing my civic duty on jury duty in Newark NJ, one of my fellow jurors asked if it was still legal to fire your gun off on New Years to celebrate! Evidently he didn’t get the memo on that one!
Parking my car on that street and coming back to find it untouched would feel very odd.
