69 yr old black man dying in prison for selling pot in 1994 - His Life matters!!! Michael Alonzo Thompson MDOC 176309 Muskegon Correctional Michigan, Gov Gretchen Whitmer can save his life right now, but she won't. He's dying of diabetic ketoacidosis after 25 years in prison for selling pot to a friend, never hurt anyone. He's a victim of injustice. Please help him!

"No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." - Nelson Mandela

i like to think that if there's an afterlife, Mr. Floyd, now there, has finally understood why the pain of the knee upon his neck-unto-death, had happened from an extreme necessity cried by a Wounded society! May he now Rest In Peace and be among those who are called to become Messengers of Goodness, Fairness, and God... here's looking at you, Mr. Floyd!

[@marti-greciaodalyz8786]

@Logan that is unnecessarily mean. for no matter what this man did in life he did not deserve such an atrocious mishandling unto-death. you are not any concern of mine, for your mean-spiritedness is inhumane and disgusting. and, were i you, i'd worry more about the place "wherever" mad-dog-spiting-of-rabies-from-the-soul, which people like you may go to rest in peace(?) after your death.

[@wcaltig]

[@lifelong5425]

Yes, its time

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

Ok so now that all 4 cops have been arrested and charged and we need to stay informed about that case but it's up to Ellison now. Shouldn't we update our signs? We should protest for Breonna Taylor and after her murderers are held accountable protest for Trevon Martin. This has momentum and everyone is focused on this. Even white people like me are focused on this. You have our attention and allegiance so let's keep going till we get to Tulsa. Then let's throw our weight behind fighting for allies of the black community like the native Americans. They have been there for you and they could use some help because they were the first victims of the colonies. You see as an allied white person who has been sympathetic but quiet till now finally doing something feels like atonement. Atonement feels good and it's exciting that something was accomplished or at least feels like progress. This protest has momentum and the people who have power are on the ropes and they're more sympathetic to listening. Even the military is speaking up because their bosses have not been listening. You started with a movement and you raised an army and this time you are not alone. You don't have just a few of us, but most of us. Even a lot of your previous enemies have had to admit that you're on the side of what's right. It's time to focus on another victim and since there is no statute of limitations we can just keep going. Justice is obtainable now. It took a pandemic to get us to be still enough to listen but we heard you and we're with you. Keep going.

[@SteveRHanson]

In 2009, George Floyd pleaded guilty for 1st-degree felony charge of an assault and armed robbery he took part in 2007 and spent five years in prison for breaking into a lady’s house with the intent to rob her. George agreed that he wore a blue uniform to look like a government employee to gain the lady’s trust, and eventually pave his way into the house. What an angel.
