CHAOS on the horizon: Derek Chauvin will appeal his sentence in court

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd Jr. was arrested by Minnapolis law enforcement after using a counterfeit bill to purchase cigarettes at a local convenience store. White cop Derek Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder and other charges in Floyd's death after he pinned him to the ground, kneeling on his neck for several minutes.

There are many who refuse to accept Chauvin’s charges as a reflection of what actually happened.

Chauvin certainly doesn't agree with his conviction and plans to appeal his sentence at the Supreme Court after being denied a hearing in the Minnesota Supreme Court.

“[Chauvin’s] attorney said that they are going to raise the issue of whether [he] was denied a fair trial due to pretrial publicity and potential violence had he been acquitted,” Sara Gonzales reports.

Further, Judge Peter Cahill “wrote in a memorandum that Chauvin’s sentence,” which was 22.5 years in prison, “was harsher than the state’s guidelines of 10-15 years.”

Blake Kresses, Kaden Lopez, and Gabe Victal of “The KGB Show” join Sara to discuss the situation.

Kresses welcomes the appeal, as he’s certain Floyd “died of a fentanyl overdose.”

“George Floyd was shouting ‘I can’t breathe’ while he was still sitting in his car,” and “there were no verifiable physical ailments that led to his death,” according to the autopsy, he tells Sara.

While Kresses does agree that the cop violated some civil rights, “the idea that Chauvin murdered George Floyd is out of the question,” he says.

Lopez agrees, claiming “Chauvin should not be in prison,“ although he probably needs “a different job.”

“[Chauvin] did not get a fair trial” because “everyone was scared that … they were going to have their houses burned down by BLM,” Victal adds.

While all on the panel agree that Chauvin should not be convicted of murder, they acknowledge that his acquittal will almost certainly mean “violence like we’ve never seen before.”

“What sort of calamity is going to be caused if and when this occurs?” Kresses asks.

Chauvin’s appeal “just happens to be coming around the corner of an election year, where BLM is most prominent typically,” Lopez adds.

Could it be that this is all part of the left’s plan?

Will there be a “BLM part two”?
