The Barbershop: Dennis Byrne, Proprietor
An apology for a bogus post about George Floyd
A sincere apology.
If you are looking for a post here about a George Floyd appearing before Judge Judy, you should know that I have deleted it. It is not the same George Floyd who was killed by the cop in Minneapolis.
I should have checked the video’s veracity before I posted instead of after. I was reckless. For some reason I did not follow my usual practice and for that I’m sorry.
Here is a story in National Review that sets the record straight. A quote from it:
