Chauvin will be acquitted - the evidence for overdose is overwhelming. The usual suspects will riot. This little data point will make for an interesting summer. From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:
Handgun permits surge in St. Cloud area, state
A record number of Minnesotans received permits to carry a handgun last year, a surge that came in a year that brought anxiety over the COVID-19 pandemic, an economic slowdown and rioting in the Twin Cities after the police killing of George Floyd.
That anxiety was mirrored in the St. Cloud area, where the number of permits issued jumped 44% in the tri-county area over 2019. While the number of permit renewals was relatively stable, the number of people applying for new permits more than doubled in Benton and Sherburne counties and came close to that mark in Stearns County.
As Robert Anson Heinlein once said: An Armed Society is a Polite Society.
Very true words...
