BED BLAST George Floyd’s great niece Arianna, 4, cried ‘Daddy I’ve been hit’ after being shot in her bed by gunman after protests

GEORGE Floyd's four-year-old great-niece cried “Daddy I’ve been hit” after being shot in her bed in an attack at their Texas family home

Arianna Delane, who had to undergo surgery in Houston over the weekend after bullets punctured her lung, liver and broke three ribs, was thought to have been the victim of a targeted hit.

At the time of the shooting, four adults and two children were inside the home on Yellowstone Blvd in south Houston.

The father said Arianna, who is expected to survive her terrible wounds, was sleeping in her bed when the shooting took place.

Holding back tears, he told ABC: "My daughter jumped up and said, 'Daddy, I've been hit.”

Cops have not revealed a motive nor have they provided a description of the suspect.

But the little girl’s family said they know who opened fire, and have suggested the shooting was targeted, without commenting further on a motive.

The child reportedly attended several protests last year to honor her slain uncle.

ABC 13 aired footage last year of the family, including Arianna, reacting to Derek Chauvin being found guilty in Floyd's murder.

Arianna's mom is Floyd's niece Bianca, whose mother is his sister, LaTonya.

Floyd was the oldest of George Perry and Larcenia Jones Floyd's five children.

His two brothers are Rodney and Philonise, and his other sister is Bridgett.

Floyd died on May 25, 2020, shortly after being arrested for allegedly attempting to use a counterfeit $20 bill to buy cigarettes at a grocery store.

His death triggered worldwide protests against racism and police brutality.

Chauvin, one of the police officers involved, was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in the death of Floyd.

Soon after the tragic incident, a video surfaced of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck while he was lying on the ground for more than nine minutes.

Floyd's dying words, "I can't breathe," became a rallying cry for street demonstrators.

The city of Minneapolis identified three other officers, Tou Thao, Thomas Lane, and J Alexander Kueng, who witnessed Floyd's death and did nothing to intervene.

All officers have been fired from the department.

watched the oliver stone doc on JFK. really, really good. apparently there's a four-hour version in the works.

the conclusion i've drawn is that kennedy really did have this liberal foreign policy vision that would have been a disaster for U.S. hegemony. he also probably thought otherwise, but the military and CIA had other ideas.

he was operating from a liberal hypothesis (pretty catholic seeming) that communism was part of a crisis of technological advance, a reaction to culture shock in backwards countries. the idea was that the communists were an opportunistic conspiracy in these places so his plan was to assist governments with popular mandates to resist while they still could, but explicitly felt that if a country's people were in favor of the communists or anything else that should be respected because the U.S. had no chance of beating an entire population anyways

so it's less "kennedy = no intervention" vs. "CIA = intervention" and more different strategies that were extremely incompatible
