    As part of the statue destructions over in US there were a recent attempt to destroy the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square near the White House.

    The leader for the attempt, Jason Charter, was arrested today by the FBI and U.S. Park Police.
    Charter was also allegedly involved in the destruction of the Albert Pike Historical Statue in DC in June.

    Police add that Charter has connections to Antifa.

    I will respond to your question when you apologize. Then we can resume being mutually civil.

    An apology for saying I think you have a delusional narrative? Are you serious?

    Obviously, I don't think that warrants an apology in any way, but if you insist:

    I, J_M_G, sincerely apologize to Overheal for publicly saying I think he has a delusional narrative. It wasn't my intention to hurt his feelings. It is now my solemn desire to resume being mutually civil.

    Ok, so now can you please respond to my question and provide us all with evidence of Trump "glorifying violence". Remember, glorifying self-defence obviously doesn't count, as I am sure you will agree.

    That's a beautiful apology.

    Can you engage now Overheal?

    Erm, you claimed a person had enough fentanyl in their system to kill a horse. I'm pretty confident that you can't prove what you've claimed.
    He also had 11 nanograms of fentanyl in his blood. That number, in and of itself, doesn’t tell us much. Immediately after a person dies, the blood concentration of fentanyl increases significantly, so knowing only the post-mortem amount does not tell us about Mr. Floyd’s level of intoxication before his death.

    What’s more, the same amount of fentanyl that produces euphoria in a tolerant user can result in an overdose in a newer user. That’s why, along with the toxicology report, we have to look at Mr. Floyd’s behavior shortly before his death.

    Videos show Mr. Floyd behaving rationally and appropriately, considering the circumstances. When officers asked him to get out of his car, he did not seem drowsy or lethargic, which is how people high on opioids behave.

    Jason Charter, typical radical left activist, in the BLM and Antifa movements.

    Private University Education, IT consultant, millionaire parents and lives in an well to do town in Long Island.

    Being left, especially radical left today is a class signifier.

    No cement or engine oil under the fingernails of activists today.

    The left has changed massively in 20 years.

    Erm, you claimed a person had enough fentanyl in their system to kill a horse. I'm pretty confident that you can't prove what you've claimed.

    Unless he injects fentanyl into a horse, he probably can't conclusively prove it.

    I wouldn't recommend he does that to satiate a well known agitator.

    It is a discussion forum though and most normal people would assume he was asserting that St George Floyd was high on drugs and not within his right mind when he acted in such a way which contributed to the circumstances which ended up with his death and subsequent beatification.

    But of course, boards posters, if straying from your own beliefs, must have iron clad and forensically proven evidence to enter discussion.

    Don't think it was just the fentanyl tbh. The guy had a fairly potent cocktail of drugs in his system

    1. Fentanyl 11ng/mL
    2 . Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL
    3 . 4 - ANPP 0.65 ng/mL
    4 . Methamphetamine19 ng/mL
    5 . 11- Hydroxy Delta- 9 THC 1.2 ng mL;
    Delta- 9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/ mL; Delta- 9 THC 2.9 ng/ mL

    This fentanyl concentration, including its norfentanyl metabolite at its molecular weight, was 20.6 ng/mL That is over three times the lethal overdose, (from reports where the highest dose survived was 4.6 ng/ml)

    The term "kill a horse" is a colloquism btw


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭J_M_G


    "Enough to kill a horse" is a figure of speech. It's hyperbole. Normal people recognize that and don't miss the point, which is that Georgie boy was off his face on drugs. The toxicology reports showed he was high on fentanyl and meth (and coronavirus!).

    But fine, I'll retract my claim that he had enough fentanyl in him to kill a horse because I don't know what the fatal dose is to kill a horse. I am deeply deeply sorry for my outrageous LIE.

    But I am still eagerly awaiting Overheal's proof of Trump glorifying violence.


    EDIT: Colloquialism! That's the word I was looking for. Thank you gozunda.

    We’ve already established his fentanyl concentration was within the exact same lev l of a control group in a study of those who had fentanyl in their system when they died. That control group died not as a result of their fentanyl use. That’s the problem with the claim, it’s completely bunk, even as a metaphor. The data does not support fentanyl concentration being high enough to kill a human, much less a horse.

    Which is what the previous 4,or 5 posts said. We don't actually know or care if it would kill a horse, but it's enough to make you act erratically.

    He had enough fentanyl in him to kill a badger. Is that ok? Or should I get a vets report?

    If I said someone was as quiet as a mouse would you have the ****ing digital sound level out to measure decibels?

    Don't know what data you're reading but the findings are there
    Fentanyl and its analogs have been substituted for heroin and other opioids, and are usually marketed to persons seeking opioids. Because of fentanyl’s high potency compared with heroin, methadone, and oxycodone, there is a high risk for fatal overdose associated with illicit use.

    Do I? Tbf - I've grown fairly tired of the type of discussion which involves endless hair splitting and etc. If you are referring to the New York times politicised article above by one neuroscientist on the subject of fentanyl and George Floyd - you'll excuse me if I place more weight on the validity of multidisciplinary research on Fentanyl and mortality published by the the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...

    2012 study:

    Introduction
    Transdermal fentanyl, an opioid used for management of marked pain, also is abused and may cause death.

    Methods
    We reviewed medical examiner reports of 92 decedents who had one or more fentanyl transdermal patches on their body and had fentanyl detected in their postmortem toxicology analysis.

    Results
    The manners of death included 40 accidents, 36 natural, 8 suicides, 5 therapeutic complications, and 3 undetermined deaths. Among the accidental fentanyl intoxication deaths, 32 of 37 involved substance abuse. The majority (95 %) of the 37 accidental deaths involving fentanyl were multi-drug intoxications. The substance abuse deaths had a mean fentanyl blood concentration (26.4 ng/ml or μg/L) that was over twice that of the natural group (11.8 ng/ml). Our analysis suggests a relationship between total patch dosage and mean postmortem fentanyl concentration up to the 100-μg/h dose.

    Conclusions
    The very wide and overlapping ranges of postmortem fentanyl concentrations effectively nullify the utility of correlating the dose and expected postmortem concentration for any particular death. Based on the variable relationship between dose and blood concentration, the antemortem dose cannot be reliably predicted based on the postmortem concentration. This does not, however, render the medical examiner/coroner unable to determine the cause and manner of death because the toxicology results are only one datum point among several that are considered. Although there was a weakly positive relationship between body mass index and fentanyl concentration, further research is needed to determine whether adipose tissue represents a significant depot for postmortem release of fentanyl.

    What we learn from the study is that they reviewed 92 dead people who:
    1. had one or more fentanyl transdermal patches on their body
    2. had fentanyl detected in their postmortem toxicology analysis

    We know from it, that the manner of death of the subjects was:
    • 40/92 accidental
      • 37/40 were accidental deaths involving multi-drug intoxication
        • 32/37 involved substance abuse had a mean fentanyl blood concentration of 24 mg/mL
    • 36/92 natural causes - this group had a mean fentanyl blood concentration of 11.8 ng/mL
    • 8/92 suicides
    • 5/92 therapeutic complications (this would probably include palliative care)
    • 3/92 undetermined

    And we know from George Floyd's postmortem toxicology report that he had a fentanyl blood concentration of 11 ng/mL

    Ergo, I find it incredibly hard to believe that fentanyl is the supermajority factor in his death, vs the knee to his neck for 7 mins and 46 seconds.

    It remains that GF had a cocktail of drugs in his system including fentanyl. This goes to the finding in your report that the majority (95 %) of the 37 accidental deaths involving fentanyl were multi-drug intoxications.

    Even acknowledging the difficulties of accurately determining post mortem drug concentrations - it's important to understand that Floyds PM fentanyl concentration, including its norfentanyl metabolite at its molecular weight, was 20.6 ng/mL - close to the substance abuse deaths in your report which had a mean fentanyl blood concentration (26.4 ng/ml or μg/L)

    What we can say had he not died when he did - it appears from the post mortem results that he had close to or greater than overdose levels of drugs in his system. Do all people who have these concentrations in their system die? No they don't. Some do, some thankfully receive emergency care which prevents immediate death and some go on to suffer life limiting effects of such drug use including brain and multi organ damage.

    Georgie boys Methamphetamine levels weren't at toxic levels but they were very high.

    For a man with Chronic heart disease, one artery at 90% blockage, others at 75% blockage.

    Even without the diverse and often dangerously high levels of narcotics in his system, the act of resisting arrest was high risk.

    It all caught up with him, a life of extreme violence and thuggery had destroyed his body.

    The media go out of their way to display outrage when right-wing Militias march. It's odd to hear ITV report on the NFAC (Not ****ing Around Coalition) state they have a black nationalist agenda and their marches prove that militia does not have to be white & right-wing. You never hear of this black supremacist group reported in the media in the same way Proud boys have.

    https://twitter.com/MarkDice/status/1312820940531666944

    Grand Master Jay, the leader of the black separatist militia leader is allowed to have a YouTube channel and spout this kind of nonsense, but of course, Gavin McInnis and the Proud Boys have all been banned from the platform? This is the guy demanding who is demanding an ethnostate when there's an entire continent that is racially homogeneous he could easily go to too. The lads a headcase and is looking a fight.

    https://twitter.com/progunz_1/status/1312837063826341890

    The NFAC can't even hold a march without shooting themselves. They negligently discharge their weapons at every rally they have, like the one who did it yesterday, the person was a felon, and shouldn't have even had one. Could you picture the media if these were even just white patriotic people? The double standards. See the discharges here too Here Here

    Don't know about that...
    The recommended serum concentration for analgesia is 1–2 ng/ml and for anaesthesia it is 10–20 ng/ml. Blood concentrations of approximately 7 ng/ml or greater have been associated with fatalities where poly-substance use was involved.

    In some ways, the fact that they can make dangerous criminals into modern day saints allows them to show their strength. The worse the person, the better symbol they are. The other component of demonstrating this power is the demonising white people for extremely minor issues, such as a white kid smiling uncomfortably while being harangued or a white woman confronted in a park by a man calling the police. Right and wrong aren't important any more. Just power.
