"American Reckoning"

 I read through all the comments below before adding my own George Floyd was a criminal, a drug dealer on drugs while committing yet another crime resisting arrest Floyd once held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman Jon is a father himself Comments below say various things including one saying they are not a Bon Jovi fan anymore The melody is sweet and the lyrics in many ways are touching But they are totally misdirected From These Days onwards Jon has been a multi millionaire writing songs about a world he long left behind During quarantine isolation rich old men like Jon were living as far from real society as anyone could be This song shows how far away he now is It's hard to not blame him, though he is writing a story based on something on TV that may have not been real t him Many people believe Floyd deserved what he got and that it should have happened sooner Am I next ? If s mother saw Floyd holding a gun to a pregnant womens belly would she have said that ? Police should have killed that piece of shit years ago This has nothing to do with Race it never did


George Floyd Between 1997 and 2005 served 8 jail terms including drug possession, theft and trepass 2007 aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, entered an apartment as a gang of six, held gun to pregnant woman stomach, sentenced to five years Who are you singing the song for Jon ? Who exactly are you grieving for ?


If George Floyd had broken into your home Jon with his gang of big black men, while Dorothea was pregnant with Jake, Stephanie or Jesse, and put his gun against her stomach, would you be singing a song about him ?
