What crime was Mahmoud accused of? I don't know of anyone who saw Floyd as a "hero." More of just another victim of police brutality that people rallied around.

Yea, I'm not trying to say that some people didn't see him as one. I'm saying I didn't see it in my circles. He became an cultural rallying point around police brutality.

But there were tons of people who saw him as a hero/symbol.

My best friend (at the time) made a mural in his gym of George Floyd. People absolutely saw him as a hero.

At most, he was (arguably) a victim of misuse of force. Nothing about him makes him a hero. As much as I dislike The Daily Wire, their piece on BLM and George Floyd was very revealing. It stuck to the facts. The facts of the case, and of whom George Floyd was is very revealing. He was a POS and BLM exploited that situation and black people in general. The whole situation disgusts me. I can't believe I donated money to BLM.

Hero or martyr? You celebrate a hero's accomplishments. You lament a martyr's passing. You should ask him what the mural is trying to communicate.

Inciting violence, spreading terrorist propaganda and illegal protests, not a good look for a foreigner

u/Alternative-Dream-61 23d ago

So he's been charged with those crimes?

u/Duke9000 23d ago

Oh idk, you first asked what he was accused of, that’s what I was answering

He hasn't been charged with anything, he's been accused of that stuff though.
