Anthony Alford, an outfielder for the Toronto Blue Jays and graduate of Petal High School, also responded.In response to the backlash, Marx defended his comments, saying, “The tolerant progressives can’t tolerate a simple statement of fact,” according to NBC Jackson affiliate WLBT.
He also said that he meant that no one knows for certain how Floyd died or what the circumstances were before he was pinned to the ground by a police officer,"I think that people are so quick to judge the police before they have all the facts," Marx said."I can't say whether a crime was committed or whether they did anything right or wrong, all I'm saying is don't rush to judgment based on what you see in that video.
He added,"I've seen too many cases before where the police were judged to be guilty in the public's eye but later were found to be not guilty under the law.” Marx also said that some responses to his comments have been extreme. “For sending that, all of a sudden I'm called racist, I need to have a knee put on my neck — all kinds of hateful stuff simply for having an opinion and asking people to get all the facts before they judge."on Wednesday saying Marx’s comments were “not representative of all of our city leaders.”
“We understand the frustrations his statements have cause,” the city aldermen wrote."Those comments are his personal views and he has the right to share his views on his personal page.”
Just don’t break the law and live ... RESPECT THE LAW
Southern law enforcement hospitality never made sense to me! Prejudical torment had its own kind of Karma!
Uh.... he died. Idiot.
My response to the idiot mayer - maybe the cop should do that to u
Petal, MS has a mayor like this, leading me to surmise that the entire town is a racist bastion. No blue money for red states! Mississippi you're on your own.
LeslieMarshall Any time a story starts with 'Mississippi mayor' I just move on to another article.
Race baiting bigot, he knew exactly what the reaction would be.
Well I don’t know
May be somewhat true if someone can talk their airway is not obstructed. I think this was something else. The police failed by not controlling this man with cuffs, in back of locked car, etc. Visibly holding this man down while he pled is terribly bad tactic and maybe deadly.
He is ignorant. Even people with asthma use the same phrase when under asthma attack. Fire him.
If he said that, well.... He's fat, and also a fool. I bet it would be a nice thing to watch an officer kneel on his neck then watch him die so very slowly and painfully while eating my popcorn. He got a lot of fat in that windpipe 🤔
Yoh
So what credentials does this shit-for-brains have to render such an opinion ? Multiple police tactics instructors have stated that such a restraint technique should NOT be used. But, apparently, this jerkoff has some special 'old boy from the south' insight...
Can't see how he's laughing through that bacon grease he calls a neck
I found so many unfit officials in US.
Where is DerekChauvin when you need him?
Actually Mr. Mayor that's not necessarily true. Under some circumstances normal breathing is not possible even though talking is. And if you really believe that, how do you explain the fact this man is dead?
Fired is what he should be
Did you notice the size of the cop? Barney Fife buck one twenty. And even how big Floyd was, that Fentanyl overdose was pain free.
Disgraceful Despicable Grub.
Idiot
Well he was alive begging for air before he died. Hello? The real problem in America is that the racist hold positions of power. This enables the systematic racism.
Why do these so-called starch conservative politicians have sex liberal lifestyles away from the camera and at the same time they have poor supporters pinching pennies to survive
“Mississippi Mayor” need we say more?
He is a horrible preson.
It is understood that your heavy one feet self don’t see anything wrong. What if Someone put you f - t behind in the sane position hold you in the same manner with their damn knee on you neck. Try it big mouth.
Hmmmm, happy to test the theory on him....
Fat F—k
dmrider Mississippi Burning is about to get a sequel?
And yet he is DEAD a-hole
Maybe next time say it with yoUr klan robes on
Fire this asshole
Jerk!
A vile remark for a vile action of a policeman to have his knee pressing on another man’s throat with no regard for him as a human & while other police looked on-it’s not normal, they are not good people & this mayor should not be in public office with a thought process like that
Let me step on your fat throat for 8 minutes.
PelonNsdca Obviously he couldn’t breath because he is now dead. Fire this guy. Enough of these people with no medical knowledge making stupid pronouncements like this.
Yea. With a knee twisting your neck like that. You can breathe and you can talk... Right up until the moment that you can’t, Mississippi.
Just a plain ignorant comment. Careful you don't stick that big fat neck out to far.
u r so disgusting...
This is so inhumane. I believe there were arrest procedures which were to be followed by these law enforcers.
Freedom of speech, right?
I beg to differ, because he wouldn’t be able to breathe either. I am not going to mention the Mayor’s weight, because weight has nothing to do with it.
Ahhhh Mississippi. What’s wrong with you people?!?!
who gives a Frenchman's fuck about Mississippi.
He make me look bad
TONE DEAF! Would he like to experiment w being held down and have is oxygen constricted for 8 mins? Let’s c how that would work out!
wtf
Wow!! Adding fuel to the fire 🔥 He needs to just STFU!!
“I was only joking.” In 5, 3, 2.........
So says a repulsive reprobate that doesn’t have a neck.
So maybe he should address the minutes after George Floyd quit speaking and moving because he was murdered.
What the fucking hell is GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY?
Quiet America!!! Mississippi is weighing in on the treatment of black people, everyone listen carefully now...
Of course not in the pocket of the force
DCGrandma52 Proof that Mississippi is the least educated of the 50 states, according to an analysis by the website WalletHub. And people wonder why I stay in Connecticut, which is the 3rd most educated.
He's not breathing anymore, dick.
It’s been said he has resigned. Please fact check that information cause I don’t trust it.
Wow
Is this that good ole republican leadership we keep hearing about?
BlackLivesMatter!Floyd'sLIFE GONE! Guilty needsSWIFT PUNISHMENTByLAW!BUT DON'T LISTEN2NARRATIVES MEANT2DIVIDE US!BattlesWreWon!BLCK LIVS REALLY MATTR NOWat NEWJuncture:Rugged Individualism,IndepLdrshp,freshIdeas,thnkNoutsideThe box,Don'tFall inlineWithOldStereotyps ofWhatSuppos2B
Well maybe they should try it on him. Let us see what happens.
Well another reason not to go to Mississippi. I hated it in grammar school anyway.
🤬
GeorgeFloyd is dead! Mississippi mayor is an a$$hat! 😡
I hope someone kneels on this fatasses necks.
did he follow it up with their KKK salute and hoods?!
My husband is a victim of corrupted police ! He was convicted of a crime and was not in the city ! Doing life while the real shooter is out! 🙏
Vile pig!
And someday the fat in yours will smother you.
Lets put that to the test mayor?
You are FIRED!
Yeah, that’s why the mans dead.
Blatant racism in Mississippi
Why are they always fat and bald. He wouldn’t last 2 seconds with a knee to the throat.
Apparently NOT.
Fire the slob.
Is this contagious?
Maybe he cares to demonstrate the banality of the move...
The mayor should be fired too!!! They killed a man we all saw that!!!
Except for the fact there is a vagal nerve in that area of the neck that decreases the heartbeat! Jeez, you stupid people that no NOTHING about anatomy and physiology!!!
MrTAchilles He hasn’t been the same since the Dukes boys shut down the illegal gambling den in the back of his BBQ joint.
I guess he figures if he can breath through a thousand pounds of fat, everyone can breathe through a chokehold.
Y tu eres y pareces un cerdo, seguro respiras como ellos
Yeah, really surprising comment from a Mississippi Mayer. Shocking.
That's just wrong as a matter of fact. Compression asphyxiation occurs when the body doesn't get sufficient oxygen..not necessarily no oxygen at all. Also this guy is an asshole.
Is anyone surprised that an old fat white politian found nothing wrong with the murder of a black man
Mr. Mayor, you might want to try a salad sometime. Vote Blue No Matter Who 🌊🌊🌊🌊😎🍷🇺🇸🏝️
RobinRoberts please spread the word and help our state. He will not resign office.
Two words: VEGUS NERVE
And then he died. He was handcuffed. What was the purpose of a knee on the neck other than to crush him?
BEVHOWARD40 Really,would the Mayor like to prove his proposition that it is not possible to gasp out I can’t breathe yet still be dying.
He certainly needs to step down! Good ole Boy
Adding this to the ever growing list of reasons I will NEVER return to my “home” state.
ewindham3 More Red State Ignorance SMDH
Idiot, if that's true how come he's dead?
And when you can't speak or breathe you are dead, so that's a little late to do any good. This country, on all levels it seems, is being run by brain dead 'Peter Principle' zombies.
Fire him.
So many disgusting Americans
Cruelty is the point!
Jesus, even the racist POS president admitted what happened was bad. This guy should not be mayor after today. Resign
He also goes by, if you can breathe you can eat. It's always the ones who look like thumbs with mouths who say the most outrageous shit. Morbid obesity gives courage to the dumbest, ask Trump.
Pig
Let’s test it out on him!
That's why nothing's done about these killings and these mayor's need to resign from public life he's not fit to lead he's a pig and deserve to be in a pen with the rest of the swine
Gee, then I guess he’ll allow 4 people to put their knee on his neck and test that out.
Fat fuck
So now, this is the Q-Nuts ⭐⭐⭐ next conspiracy George Floyd was an attorney for Wikileaks... Absolutely Ridiculous!
I am pretty sure the facts bear out Mr Floyd’s statement.
And I guess he doesn’t see anything unreasonable about all the food he keeps shoving in his pie hole either. I really hate these people
Same thing as water boarding, right?
joncoopertweets Can he show us how that works with a cop on his neck?
Good grief the south
And then he didn't. Breathe that is.
Get this pig out.
He looks petty hefty. Doubtful he could breathe just being held down on his stomach, handcuffed, face shoved into pavement, no knees needed.
I’m fine with another Mayor ousted
Clearly he was wrong but I’m willing to let someone stand on his neck to prove his point
macchica26 “If you can talk, you can breathe”. Nope! Ask any nurse, doctor or Respiratory Therapist, and we’ll tell you that’s a common misconception. This shows a basic lack of education in his department.
Ok, Mr. Mayor, if that had been a white man and the officer was black, do you think this would have been the same outcome? Would we be waiting for charges? I can pretty much guarantee that white man wouldn’t be dead. White officers would have pulled him off!
Wow...
Just throw out the whole state. Throw the whole thing out.
Mississippi Go figure.
minneapolisriots
Fuk this no neck Puto!
This asswipe should stop breathing
Jmalco He sees nothing wrong in the very public murder of a black man? George Floyd died seconds after pleading that he could not breathe..becos a white man kneeled on his carotid..forcing his AORTA to explode in his head!!!! Satanic cruelty!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡
The mayor should lie down and have somone kneel on his neck for 8 minutes and then let us know.
joncoopertweets The base could care less about it!
He should be fired.
Mayor Hal Marx of Petal Mississippi SMH
Jmalco Another white evangelical, being the hypocrite we know them to be. The heartless circles ⭕️ are everywhere. I am so glad, God is exposing the soulless creatures.
He should volunteer for that kind of police training on excessive force and see if he can continue to breathe for 5 minutes after he stops talking. Then he can say if it’s reasonable or not...assuming he can still talk.
Vile. Good ole Mississippi boy.
Disgusting!
joncoopertweets The South it’s so backwards ..
Let’s see how this guy feels with a knee on his neck for 8 minutes... assuming his neck can be located...
Idiot. Strangulation can cause death in a matter of seconds, and George Floyd was essentially strangled, his breathing obstructed.
Mississippi mayor is a racist and does not have a soul.
Time for this POS to go..
This guy needs to go. Even in Mississippi standards.
I hope he loses his job.
Awful human without any compassion Karma will pay him a visit in due time
Test it out cracker get a cop to kneel on that obese neck of yours
He should be fired for be mayor for saying that.
Please tell me he’s fired ?
He is a racist SOB
A white racist from Mississippi that's the norm there,I know I've seen it.
This mayor is a fat phuck
Recall him.
Until you can't. A knee in someone's neck is ALWAYS a bad idea. There are so many vital anatomical things in the neck necessary for life. As a doctor, I really don't think this yahoo is qualified to express an opinion on the matter.
GeorgeFloyd🙌🏽 CRAVENLY DEPRAVED ResignMayorHalMarx “didn’t see anything unreasonable” Thinks he's no racist↕️ HE💯IS “...Most likely THAT MAN DIED OF OVERDOSE or heart attack,” “officers were not restricting his breathing.”
Another sociopath.
Mississippi you say, that's expected.
asshole
racistidiot
Counterpoint: if you die of suffocation, you can't breathe
Oh he’s from Mississippi. How surprising
This is inexcusable and ignorant and, most of all, inhuman. It is clear this man, a mayor of Mississippi, doesn’t feel anything about a civilian being treated like this, pinned to the ground with a knee on the neck!? Who does that? GeorgeFloydprotest
Let's test that theory on this fat swine!
OpenOneEye And if you are fat? You can love McDonalds. Must be a great town.
This pathetic mayor wears a mask, but it is a KKK Mask.
his is MayorHalMarx
Lets put our knees on his neck🤬🤬
'I can't breathe!' said George Floyd. 'I can't breathe!' said the covid-19 patient. Why does the begging of one get maliciously ignored while the other is given the assistance of an entire hospital staff? 'I can't breathe!' said USA. Will she live or will she die?
He looks to be right out of central casting for the role of the bigoted, closed minded and stupid , good ol boy in any town in Mississippi! Personification of a Southerner still fighting the Civil War! Sweet Jesus, when will they get it?
In point of fact true. You can't speak if you can't take in air HOWEVER, there are levels of breathing. It's one thing to be taking a full breath and speaking and quite another to be struggling to to breath and begging for help to breath normally. I believe this is the case.
So I’m guessing it would be ok to put a knee in his neck for 8 minutes right
Hal is a racist, so there is that.
So I guess George's death was a hoax. Great to know, what a relief, I'm sure George's family and friends are thankful that Mayor Marx cleared up that anatomical confusion.
A mayor should never say this. I had a medicine reaction where I was going through short periods of unable to draw breath, and I was able to gasp out I couldn't breathe. The guy is a moron.
Why is this idiot even commenting
Drop A Knee on him. See if he can breathe.
Hey, dumbarse Mississippi Mayor - Well, he ain't talking no more, nor will he ever again. GeorgeFloydWasMurdered arrestDerekChauvin & all other officers who stood idle & watched while Chauvin murdered Mr. Floyd. StopTheViolence Blacklivesmatter
🙄
snw106 Obviously, asking for help caused the officer to apply even more pressure to his neck cutting off his air completely causing Mr. Floyd to pass out and ultimately expire.
I can’t even😡😡😡😡😡😡
Has that shit for brains heard of the carotid artery? Beyond the fact that he’s cutting off his airway he’s also decreasing blood flow to the brain
The Mississippi Mayor is an idiot.
Maybe someone should kneel on his neck and see if he wants to test the theory.
The mayor is such a POS. He deactivated his account because he can't take the heat. His neck is on the line and he retreats with his tail between his legs. He should just be glad his neck isn't under some cop's knee. GeorgeFloydWasMurdered
this guy in the photo is likely you can tell by the way he smiles and because hes fat
Then he's part of the problem!
So then why is he dead idiot?
Mississippi mayor is just racist and ignorant.
I don't want to be lumped into this bunch if this is what America stands for.
Mississippi. That's all you needed to say.
Sounds about Mississippi
As well he should be. Shame on him. He was asking to live and that fucker cop straight up murdered him right there in front of witnesses & on video with a fucking smirk on his face.
Pinching the artery off.. depriving the brain of oxygen. Murder..
This picture of health
Damn bro eat a salad
I’d hate to be minority in that city
joncoopertweets One would think. But some use their last breath to let it be known that they can not breath with the hope the person choking them will let them live
Someone please put a knee to his fat ass neck!!
If someone is choking on food/item & they are able to TALK that means that there is NO blockage and they are able to BREATH.... if someone is being strangled to death and they are able to say a few words they use their LAST BREATH to beg for help. GeorgeFloyd
This shows the man's true 'soul.' He didn't need to tweet anything - and if he wanted to show support for his own police force he could have tweeted something locally relevant.
Would anyone expect anything else from Mississippi, home of strange fruit swi ging from trees? That IS the very legacy, character and fiber of Mississippi! Sadly, this state is the armpit of America...that embarrassing relative you don't ever want anyone to meet.
And if you can’t talk, it’s too late. I guarantee that if I chocked this guy he would be able to tell me he couldn’t breathe
MiaFarrow Tell me when he’s forced to resign. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020
Breathing is only one part of staying alive. Your brain has to have blood as well and with a knee on your carotid artery that is not happening.
BIG STORY !!! 🇺🇸
I'm sure a personalized demonstration of exactly what happened to George Floyd can be arranged for the 'honorable' Mr. Marx. Just lay down over here, and our man will put his knee on your throat... how does that feel Mr. Mayor? Can you breathe? What was that, 'barely'? Gasping...
WTF
🤔 From Mississippi you say?
Mayor laughing because he doesn’t have neck to put a knee on
A simple answer from a simple mind. The man died...... Wake up America!
I'm sure he'd be willing to undergo the same treatment
Doctors, nurses, time to weigh in on this controversy?
This clown needs to be quiet. He is either a fool or a racist he can choose.
That's some reckless ass talk with all the GUN violence in America! Hope he stays safe😉!
jodotcom HillBeverlyhill Mississippi mayor a lynching of a black man for a non violent crime this is’t a surprise at all
Jesus only a sociopath could watch that and not think it was horrifying and despicable.
PamelafBrockman Oh yeah, “he could talk so he could breathe”. WTF. As this human was being tourtured for some non violent BS, PLED. BEGGEDfor HIS LIFE. Cried out for his MOM could breathe, yet still PERISHED from ASPHYXIATION. but, he could breathe. Nothing to see here. GeorgeFloydWasMurdered
No like just 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
What! Pig
RecallHalMarx
Put his goddamn name and position in the headline
CORRECTION: Mayor of Petal Georgia Hal Marx tweeted that he “ didn’t see anything unreasonable“ in the video of George Floyd’s killing.
Someone knock the Mississippi mayor down and put a knee to his neck for 8 minutes. Asshole.
Why was this cop still working after having like 12 disciplinary complaints against him
Disgusting!
People like him are the reason why this happens..
i agree with mayor, reasonable
How cruel can a person be? I feel so sorry for the citizens of that city. HE DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK IF BLACK PEOPLE GET KILLED! Vote for a new mayor please. I will be voting for a new president. I’m voting JoeBiden
I guess this loser has never had an acute Asthma attack... in which you can get ou the words... I can't breathe... but if it continues... YOU DIE!!!!
Go trick me
Of course he’s from “The Sip”..... wonder if he woulda felt the same if it his neck the officer was on
But nobody has said anything about the obvious. That bear is wearing people’s clothes👀
'if you can talk, you can breath' Then why the fuck is he DEAD
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Fine, I’ll give you that. But how about the three plus minutes where he was unconscious? You know, not talking? Not breathing? And then dying?
lacunalingua would be tragic if he had a coronary rn
It's called free speech.
Let’s have that police officer do that to the Mayor for 9 minutes! Then he can make that insane comment!!
LJMDemforever He's a corpulent, white mayor from a small town below the Civil Rights line. This is completely on brand.
What a POS, can we try that on him?
😡😡😡😡😡😡
inmyownfashion2
Ass
How did he die...the “Rapture”
F him.
I just held my breath right now and recited the entire alphabet. Try it doing your resignation speech!
How awfully
Mayor Hal Marx of Petal, Mississippi, should resign!
AT LEAST HE'S A HONEST 'RACIST'‼💯😡 GeorgeFloyd
Part of the problem. Actually more like deny-er of the problem.
cherokeesher2 Who votes for a person that looks like him? No wonder why most people in that state live in destitute.
He is definitely a klan's man.
Yea...it’s that point where the dude stopped talking was the problem....or some people let authority go to their head.
Yea, he just willed himself to die. He must be a great actor. How did this POS get elected? He promised to not eat the children?
BoycottRacistMS
Mayor fat as fu-k said this maybe he’s used to seeing four guys on top of his boyfriend
Folks in the deep south have a way of trivializing things when it comes to race. The comment of that Mississippi mayor, is the voice of the KKK.
Fn racist pig.
I wonder if some people in Mississippi would like to show him in person how wrong he is?
rolandsmartin 😤!!!
I assume he is volunteering to show us all how he would be fine after such an attack?
Interesting political calculation. We know who he represents.
Breaking news: Mississippi mayor announces he’s resigning after he inexplicably starts speaking from his asshole. In 3...2..1.
rolandsmartin What did anyone think a Governor of Mississippi would say....if you go deep in them woods you may still find a plantation with slaves that don't know Lincoln freed them...I don't go to places like Mississippi...don't feel like fucking a redneck up..
Oh shit.
shannonrwatts Words cannot express how disgusting & racist I find this mayor’s response.
He’s so fat he breathes like that all the time.
Guessing he’s a trumper..
Something really wrong with politicians here
If u can open ur mouth U can eat!
If it is so, I'd be glad to give him the same treatment, I promise to stop as soon as he stops breathing 😡
rolandsmartin Keep talking and then step down
I just watched Mississippi Burning the other day. Looks like much hasn’t changed. BlackLivesMatter
I guess this guy believes Mr. Floyd killed himself.
Wow!
It is obvious that he couldn’t breathe ... he died 😡
Obviously he couldn’t fucking breathe or he’d be alive right now. What the fuck?
Wrong —ventilation of the lungs requires a minimum threshold of sustained minute ventilation at a sustainable work of breathing. Strangling someone with your knee will precipitate respiratory failure
People like him is the reason why people are rioting and destroying property, blood and destructions is on them
Horrible man. He doesn’t deserve to serve in a public office. Fire this asshole.
Sure, fat middle aged white guy doesn’t see anything wrong. FML
Perhaps the knee cut off oxygen to the brain? Killing him. Maybe it’s a “Democrat Hoax” The mayor is a PO$!
Politics have divided our country. Racism continues to divide our country. COVID is now dividing our country. With the country being pulled in so many directions it feels as if we’re all just fucked! No one knows what to believe anymore, fact and fiction are so blurred. 😞
Perhaps he would like to voluteer to have someone put their knee on his throat for 9 minutes.
What is it about Mississippi that the people there have the largest bodies yet the smallest brains...is it years of Confederate in-breeding that has turned them into the equivalent of human dinosaurs ? Bizarre.
rolandsmartin Is every white person in Miss. this stupid? Statements like this is one of the reasons why the South has the reputation for being ignorant.
Sigh.
I hope he is preparing to resign and without a retirement package.
Apparently not, jerk. Some people, whites more often than not, should keep their mouths shut.
rolandsmartin No constituencies in the US benefit from police murder/brutalization of white people. Important since state/county prosecutors are elected. Is there a constituency for police murder/brutalization of black citizens? Yes, since Reconstruction. White voters +prosecutors +police
are these people freeks like trump ?
He should get a knee to his neck if he had one....
rolandsmartin 😳 Less is always more. Why did he open his mouth? 🤦🏽♂️
rolandsmartin Actually, you can speak while not being able to breathe. As a person with asthma I can tell you during an asthma attack I can talk until I lose consciousness from lack of oxygen. If he could breathe he’d still be alive!😡😡💔💔🤢🤢
rolandsmartin Pleading for a riot?
Looks like KFC’s putting enough pressure on his neck. He exhausted holding that phone up.
Put a knee on his fat neck and then see what he has to say
He should test his theory first before putting stupid comments out there. I suggest he test this theory on himself or possibly a family member. For the exact amount of time under the exact same circumstances. Hands handcuffed behind his back
Wow
jenhen441 George Floyd could not be reached for comment...
Moron fatso
Valene678 “Mississippi Mayor is a racist”. Evergreen headline, it seems.
What I hear him saying is, if a knee was digging in his throat he could still breathe. I’ll wait for his demonstration.
mississippi there's your problem right there. What an irresponsible slob. So he is saying this guy actually killed himself then?
The Man died for God sake! They took that white boy peacefully from U Con. That tells me all I need to know! It's a disgrace!!
I like how the city puts out a message saying Mayor Squealypig McCracker's views are “not representative of all of our city leaders.” That means there are even more racist maggots like him in town. What a shock.
I wonder how he would feel if it happened to one of his family members or friends
What a pig
Mississippi. Is anyone surprised?
And yet the man died? Some people in the USA are utterly broken.
Wow that was probably the dumbest thing you could ever say.
He died
I’ll bet the bloated racist MayorHalMarx knows a thing or two about being out of breath since he’s likely winded opening a second box of donuts...
Brainless
Let’s test his theory on him and see if he grows a shred of empathy 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe he's had something in his mouth to test that theory. He is the mayor in Miss.
Did he say this while waiting in line for a cupcake?
He should volunteer to receive the same treatment.
He needed to keep his stupidity to himself.
FireMayorHalMarx should be off the charts.
Is he volunteering to be placed in the same position?
Im not a doctor,, but I assume he was compressing the carotid artery and not his trachea.
So the new protocal is to place one's knee on suspects' necks, is he alive now? Un f**~ing believable !
And if you block the carotid artery by pressing on it with a knee, one dies. Everyone can see how he died. Why can’t you?
I hesitate to call any cop 'pig' but if the muzzle fits....
I would love to see him test his theory on himself
No wonder riots continue.
Mayor Hal Marx of Petal, Miss, is evidence of ingrained racism in America. If you can talk, you can breathe — until you can’t. Did he not see how this scenario ended? Until the country is rid of racists like this man, who is in a postilion of power, things will never change.
Resign
You surprised he’s from Mississippi
Let's see him in the same position. Asshole.
Welcome to Mississippi 🤬
Let's see if he'd be willing to submit to a reenactment where he plays the victim's part.
Republicans are making it plain who they are and what they stand for. They can’t make it more plainer than they have. So the rest of us will have to figure out how we’re going to deal with it.
So many racists, so little time.
I want to say something about this guy being a fat slob but that would be rude. I will say that he's an ignorant and arrogant rectum who's in denial about racism. He needs to read the book, 'How to be an Antiracist.'
Disgusting.
Wow absolutely sickening!
Pigs must be verrry nervous around this guy.
He’s a Mississippi mayor... sad/disgusting but not surprising
shannonrwatts Somebody tell him about positional asphyxiation. Maybe if he knew even white people could die that way he’d understand.
Gago
Racism is alive and well, typical Republican
This fool is loving the attention. He’s garbage and always has been. It would be better to fund a candidate to run against him.
Mayor Hal Marx of Petal, Mississippi is a Racist. HalMarx GeorgeFloydWasMurdered GeorgeFloyd
You do know that by putting his knee on his neck he died. Are you that ignorant?
Resign. Today.
white fatsos are so dangerous, no?
😳
Sigh
Wow! The mayor realizes that Mr. Floyd died, right?
In Trumpian fashion, this moron doubles down. What's wrong with you, City of Petal?
TVRobNelson Looks like Boss Hogg up there deleted his Twitter account.
disgusting!!!!
What a fucking fool. Even a basic education should inform someone that sufficient gas movement to make sounds is not the same as getting enough oxygen, or in the case of feeling unable to breath, expelling enough carbon dioxide. Otherwise “I can’t breath!” wouldn’t be a thing.
Mississippians gonna Mississippi
ccollinsjr Yeah, ok Porky, here comes the sleeper, start trying to talk through it...
Fire him. He is exactly what’s wrong with this world Racisim
that's a horrible thing to say.
shannonrwatts Stupidity and Racism reigns supreme in our USA. These are the values that we fought for. Really.?
“If you can talk, you can breath” ...so why is he dead? Did he stop talking and stop breathing? For how long? Did the cop break his neck? Why is a knee on a suspect’s neck EVER okay? The dead tell no tales. So it’s up to us to seek justice and reform.
So, I guess GeorgeFloyd died of natural causes?
Why does this surprise anyone. A Mississippi elected official who makes a moronic statement that is most definitely racially motivated. No way that would happen. Surely you jest.
Well it is Mississippi after all
JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
shannonrwatts RACISTFukingMoron
Just like worms after the rain, the scum are wiggling out and letting us see them. Good. Now, we can deal with you openly and publicly, as you've exercised your right to offer your commentary, openly and publicly.
Would he have the same response if it was his brother or friend? I think not.
Not worth reporting. We aren’t surprised based on the image and the fact this is a mayor in Mississippi (the poorest and most racist state in the US).
Okay, then it’s safe to assume he won’t mind getting the same treatment?
How did this sonofabitch get to be a mayor? I am so disgusted with America.
Put the Mississippi mayor in handcuffs and perform a 7 minute 'live' demonstration... Make sure the person standing on the mayor's neck is equivalent in height and weight according to the mayor's height and weight just to properly measure the amount of excessive force necessary
shannonrwatts 'Mississippi.'
shannonrwatts Shameful
Did he delete his twitter account? Can't find MayorHalMarx ... Would have asked him to resign immediately.
😱😱😱😱😱sad times we are living why some people think are superior than other just because God made us all the same and those religious people are they going to say something?
Deplorables
beyerstein Mississippi is a hate-filled state. Remember the guys in white sheets standing around, in Twitter this week?
Maybe hold him down in that same manor for 10 minutes and see how it goes 🙄 asshole BlackLivesMatter
You know what to do Mississippi
This “mayor” needs to resign..what a racist fool.
Well there is another nut!!
Well let’s step on his neck. Me first
I ask that mayor to offer a live demonstration as proof of his comments
I’m so glad I don’t know what it’s like to be a garbage human.
I guess the good Mayor wouldn’t mind being put on a ventilator, then.
That is a foolish statement by the mayor of Mississippi. He's telling the cops that he couldn't breathe for goodness sake.
Let me put my knee on your neck fat racist dude
Of course he could breathe. He clearly died just to spite Trump.
Vote him out.
shannonrwatts The Klan is alive in the fat man
These albino racist pathogens all need to go!!! This is reprehensible!!
shannonrwatts Oh. Ok. He should demonstrate it, then.
Let’s try it on him so he can figure it out.
This is awful 🤨
Oh my God. He should be immediately fired and publicly shamed in front of his entire community. Evil!
Something has to be done.. we need to find a way to get all these racist pigs out of any offices.
shannonrwatts Wtaf
shannonrwatts Duh, it's Mississippi!
Obviously not. And what about when he stopped talking? Or when he stopped moving? Or when he died? The cop had his knee on his neck way past an unreasonable amount of time.
Racist.
Wow! You deserve to be held down like Floyd was and see how long you live. I would enjoy watching you beg for mercy.
Yes, he's just faking being dead.
Disgusting enabler of murder
It's one of the poorest state in the south 50 and a very racist territory.
Keep on laughing Fat Boy the Devil will come calling on you.
Then how'd he die, Einstein?
He should be fired! Immediately!
I'm not surprised at all at anything coming from Mississippi, theirs a long history of racism in the state of Mississippi.
Just a coincidence he died? His time was naturally up anyway? WTF are you saying?
famous14u That's how you guys are in the South. 🤷♀️
This is one sick man to say that.. george had to fight and scrape his face on the ground just to get a little air to beg for help!!
Unbelievable- forget the pandemic-this country makes you sick
Sounds like Mississippi...stuck in the 50's and doing their best to stay there !
