What Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was a public extrajudicial execution. Keep that in mind when you say we haven't had a public execution since 1936. We have, actually. Many times. They're called police murders.

@MarkRuffalo is known to be one of the nicest guys in Hollywood - and beyond. Takes a lot for him to call anyone a bad word. So when he calls Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken "war criminals" - based on his interactions with them throughout the Gaza genocide - take it seriously.
