Well, as you may know, the person who claimed that they worked closely
and "bumped heads" has now recanted his story, adding a new bizarre
twist to this whole story.

But in this situation, I'm not sure it makes any difference whether
they "bumped heads" or not. Over the years, I've known many people
who "bumped heads" in the workplace, without leading to anything like
the horrific behavior that Chauvin exhibited. If Floyd had had an
affair with Chauvin's wife, then Chauvin's behavior might have made
sense. But under the circumstances, I still think that Chauvin's
behavior was motivated by some connection to the KKK.

Perhaps as the case evolves, something will come out that reveals the
situation, one way or the other.

Little has been reported about Chauvin's past, except that he's
married to a former Mrs. Minnesota. She's filing for divorce now, and
is apparently planning to screw him in every possible way (except sex).

• Kellie Chauvin

She's an ethnic Hmong and a Hmong activist, born in Laos, but fled to
Thailand and became a refugee in the late 1970s, when Vietnam was
committing genocide. Here's a Human Rights Watch report on the
genocide:

Quote:> "The Hmong capitol has disappeared. When the Laos and
> Vietnamese community captured the Hmong, they would cut off the

> Thailand should be granted refugee status."

So Chauvin would, of course, be very well aware of this recent history
of his activist wife's ethnic group. Given the way that the
Vietnamese treated the Hmong, maybe Chauvin decided that he was
letting Floyd off easy. There still might be a connection to the KKK,
but this situation gets more complex every day.
