It's not necessarily a song with lyrics that is stuck in my head but instead it's a soundtrack that is peaceful to listen to including the visions of the video.
If Floyd had lived and gone to court with his current criminal history the counterfeit money would have shown that he was still on the road of crime and probably would have had to spend some time in jail.
It is my opinion that Chauvin didn't want to take the chance that Floyd would just get a slap on the hand and told to be a good boy by a judge so he (Chauvin) decided to take the law into his own hands and make sure Floyd never got the chance to commit a crime again.
Now Chauvin is behind bars and he will never get the chance again to blatantly murder someone on the street in broad daylight with cameras all around.
The very thing Chauvin thought he was putting an end to has backfired on him.
Floyd deserved to be tried by a jury or at least a bench trial.
My father was a bully that ruled with an iron fist. My mother loved and worshiped the ground he walked on. She wouldn't dare tell him to stop beating me. If she did he would yell and scream at her so she backed down.
As for selecting my husband this goes back to 1958 when I met my husband. I married in 1962 when society was very different than it is now. My father worked in the same business that my husband was in so he knew him very well. He thought my husband-to-be would be a rich man someday and that is why he pushed me into the marriage.
Sometimes when you cherish someone you go to the extreme to show that you care.
If you read where I said he wanted me to be perfect, to never do anything that would cause people to talk about me in a negative way, that was his way of favoring me...........protecting me from gossip.
My sister and I were treated differently. I am four years older than her. We are like night and day. She has a cavalier attitude and takes things with a grain of salt. Sometimes I worry too much and look at things from every direction but I'd rather take the safe road when making a decision.
I excelled in school whereas she was a wild child. My parents, especially my father wanted me to be the perfect child, to never make a mistake in life and to never give anybody a reason for them to talk about me in a negative way.
He was so obsessed with me being a perfect child that he beat me with a belt mercilessly when I was very young, thinking that he was teaching me a lesson. He never beat my sister even though she sassed him back, rarely went to school and stayed out all hours of the night.
When he learned that I was going to be divorced he was upset because he wanted me to be the only one in the entire family that didn't go through a divorce. Funny thing is that he picked out the man he wanted me to marry. I tried to get out of marrying that man but my father was controlling and I better do what he said cause daddy always knows best.
So yes we were treated differently. My father favored me, my mother favored my sister because she felt sorry for her.
