Black Lives Matter mania — during which the media convinced a large percentage of Americans to support mobs of hooligans as they burned, looted, and tore down statues of the Founding Fathers in the name of a career criminal who had died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest — is officially over.

At its peak in June 2020, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser sided with the sociopathic mob as conspicuously as possible by painting BLACK LIVES MATTER in 35-foot-tall letters on 16th Street leading to the White House, across from which BLM vermin had set fire to St. John’s Episcopal Church a few days previously.

Now that the media brainwashing is wearing off and some are waking up to what they were duped into supporting, Democrats are done ramming BLM down our throats and want us to forget all about it. Bowser’s “mural” has been subjected to jackhammers:

As always, taxpayers pick up the tab for the moonbattery:

Since 2020 it has cost taxpayers over $4 million to install and maintain. The removal will cost a further estimated $610,000 and is expected to take up to eight weeks.

Now that this disgusting chapter in our history is behind us, can we please let the political prisoner Derek Chauvin out from behind bars before he gets stabbed again? First, he should get a federal pardon to set the record straight regarding his innocence. Then the farcical trial at which he was found guilty of being a Caucasian police officer should be rendered null and void for obvious reasons.

Matt Walsh makes the case for a Trump pardon:

[T]here is no question that a pardon is morally the correct course of action in this case. I also think it’s probably the correct course of action tactically. Chauvin is an innocent man who was offered up for the slaughter in the name of racial justice. His continued incarceration is a national disgrace. So is his coerced confession in federal court. The first step, therefore, is to nullify that conviction with a pardon that will get Chauvin out of prison several years earlier, at a minimum. Anything that gets us closer to the day when Derek Chauvin is free — joining the ranks of Daniel Penny, Daniel Perry, Kyle Rittenhouse and many other victims of the BLM mob — is something every conservative should support. That’s the best course of action for Derek Chauvin. And it’s the best course of action to ensure that no innocent man has to endure what he did, ever again.

Still more horrible than what liberals did to Derek Chauvin is what they did to the sanctity of our judicial system. The more prominent the case, the more essential it is that the constitutional right to a fair trial be upheld.
