The Mercedes-Benz Superdome will be lit in honor of the memory of George Floyd, who was killed at the hands of Minneapolis Police two weeks ago.

The Superdome, which is lit in different colors at times to honor teams, people and causes, will be lit up in the colors of Mr. Floyd's high school - Crimson and Gold.





Surprisingly,

The Superdome lighting comes at the request of Mayor LaToya Cantrell.

"As we continue to mourn the loss of George Floyd, along with others who have been the victim of violence by police officers, we will seek to remember him and honor his memory. Last week, we showed the world that we can march, protest and be heard, and do so peacefully and respectfully. We will continue to demand justice and ensure that our police officers remain a positive presence in our own community," she said.

honor his memory
honor the memory of a meth addict that held a gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach while he robbed her?

What happened to him was indefensibly heinous and wrong but let’s not celebrate him as some hero.

I love how right-wingers have suddenly become the most delicate of snowflakes.

LOL the pandering is absolutely pathetic.

none of this is about Floyd anymore and it hasn’t been about Floyd since about hour number two.

I love how left wingers suddenly decided to take two weeks to honor a common criminal that none of them knew.
