Apr. 20th, 2021 07:12 pmI had an exhaustedly full day of zooming today for work. Lots of meetings. I am truly tired tonight.
I am really here to share that the verdict came in on the Derek Chauvin case. The jury came back pretty quickly with guilty on all three charges for him. I cannot say that happy is how I feel. This is not really something to feel happy about. The jury did the right thing and I am relieved that they did it. I think this is an important decision. I wish George Floyd had lived. That would be better but at least there is some justice now. I have been getting emails from the local Police appealing for calm and all I see is calm outside. We the people are calm - Derek Chauvin is guilty. I think if it had gone the other way - things would have exploded. But that is not happening. It is a beautiful night out - kids are playing in the park across the street and things are calm.
