I hope Chauvin gets a fair trial and an appropriate sentence. It won’t satisfy everyone, but that’s not its purpose. If he’s given unfair consequences in either direction, it won’t serve anything good.
Drugs, cigarettes, conspiracy theories, etc. all seem to share one feature - the pursuit of a good feeling contrary to rational evidence. When one first catches oneself doing that, it’s time to say a firm No to oneself and get out while it’s still possible. The ripple effect on one’s life, family, friends, finances, etc. seems to destroy people’s chances of finding a better path by displacing healthier choices. Like having a crush on someone, but infinitely worse and harder to leave behind.
Trainspotting is one of the first movies I would have seen when it actually came out. Been awhile. Should watch it again.
