How will you honor him?

There’s going to be a quiet ceremony later today where people will kneel for 9 minutes.

I’m planning to go.

It’s merely symbolic and it’s not the same as taking action.

But it’s important that we honor his life. We should honor anyone who leaves this place, whether they go peacefully, or if their life is taken by a miscarriage of justice.

How have you or how will you honor Mr Floyd?

I knew it -
Honor his life ? Why should anyone but family and friends honor his life. Who is he to me ?

@MarmeeMarch who is anyone to anyone?

@JoeyFoxx You make him out to be a hero ? He did not even die for a cause. Of course he was killed but are we to honor that as well ? George Floyd was no hero by any stretch of the imagination.

@MarmeeMarch I never said hero.

Every human deserves dignity.

Obviously, in his life, he meant more to his family and friends than to those who didn’t know him.

In death, we should honor him as we would honor anyone else.

@JoeyFoxx The first 2 lines were good then you went nuts and had to ruin it.

@MarmeeMarch do you have a point?
