The cries for justice over the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown were hoaxes. Both men were criminals who died because they were dumb enough to assault men with guns. The same is true of Ahmaud Arbery.
They got justice.
Jussie Smollet and Bubba Wallace were hoaxers painting themselves as victims of hate crimes. But fake hate crimes are real hate crimes against whites. Both men’s careers should be canceled, and they should end up in jail for their crimes.
There are more than forty million black people in America. Can’t Black Lives Matter find at least one actual victim of racism?
Now, with the leak of the police body-camera footage of the arrest of George Floyd, we have confirmation of what sensible people suspected all along: George Floyd was not a victim of police brutality or injustice.
![EXCLUSIVE - FULL VIDEO: Leaked police bodycam footage shows George Floyd's arrest for the first time](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YPSwqp5fdIw/hqdefault.jpg)
The story we had been sold was that, for no good reason, Floyd was thrown to the ground by a brutal cop, Derek Chauvin, who then put his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes while Floyd pled that he could not breathe, choking him to death.
Based on this story, Derek Chauvin was fired and indicted for murder, and the three other cops who assisted him were fired and indicted for aiding and abetting murder.
Also based on this story, America has been convulsed by more than two months of race riots, which have killed dozens, injured countless others, and destroyed billions of dollars in property and countless livelihoods.
There were many facts that did not fit this story, however.
George Floyd’s autopsy revealed that he wasn’t suffocated. Instead, he died of heart failure. He was suffering from heart disease and COVID-19. He also had the opioid fentanyl in his system as well as methamphetamine. The medical examiner said these drugs contributed to this death. (He also had traces of cannabis.)
Beyond that, Floyd was apprehended before he could drive off, clearly intoxicated, after trying to pass a counterfeit bill. Should the police have allowed him to just drive away? Obviously not. They had to do something to get Floyd out of his car and away from the public so he could not endanger himself or others.
The person who called the police reported that Floyd was acting strangely, which in all likelihood meant that he was intoxicated or mentally ill, thus not to be trifled with.
It turns out that Floyd had a long criminal record, including an armed robbery in which held a gun to the stomach of a pregnant woman. In short, George Floyd was a real piece of shit.
Moreover, putting a knee on an uncooperative suspect’s neck is an approved police control technique, so how could Chauvin be indicted for murder?
Finally, there was never any evidence that race played any role in Floyd’s death. He was not arrested because he was black, but because he committed a crime. He was not forcibly restrained because he was black, but because he was uncooperative. Two of the four officers were non-white. The claim that race had anything to do with Floyd’s death at all was simply a baseless assertion amplified and endlessly repeated by the media and BLM agitators.
But now we know that it was all a fraud. What does the police body camera footage reveal?
First of all, it reveals that George Floyd was dishonest, uncooperative, and acted deranged and scary.
- Floyd claimed that he had just lost his mother (he hadn’t).
- He claimed to be too claustrophobic to get in the police car, which was a lie because he was not too claustrophobic to sit in his own car.
- He claimed twice that he was not on drugs, falsely.
- He refused repeatedly to allow the police to cuff him.
- He refused repeatedly to get in the police car.
- He claimed multiple times that he could not breathe before he ended up on the ground with Chauvin’s knee on his neck. Obviously he was lying before that, so it made sense for Chauvin to disbelieve him when Floyd was on the ground. And, in any case, remember that the medical examiner said Floyd did not die of asphyxiation.
Second, the video reveals that the police dealt with Floyd with a level of patience and professionalism that I certainly could not have mustered. One cannot say that Chauvin lost his patience or lashed out at Floyd.
Ask yourself, dear reader, would you have been able to maintain your cool in the same situation? I know I would have snapped. I was thinking “Couldn’t we just arm police with tranquilizer darts to bring these beasts down?” This video gives me nothing but respect for the police who have to deal day in and day out with deranged criminals like George Floyd.
Was George Floyd a victim of injustice? No, he died because (1) he committed a crime, (2) refused to comply with the police, and (3) was so high on drugs that he was not up to the rigors of being forcibly arrested. If he hadn’t done any of those things, he — and a lot of other people — would still be alive today. George Floyd’s death was entirely his fault. It wasn’t murder. It was the predictable result of Floyd’s own bad character and bad choices. It was his just desserts.
George Floyd got justice.
Now we have to secure justice for Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers, as well as for the millions of Americans whose lives have been turned upside down by this massive hoax perpetrated by the government of Minneapolis, the State of Minnesota, Black Lives Matter, the mainstream media, and the far Left — aided and abetted by the craven eunuchs of the mainstream Right.
If I were Donald Trump, I would invoke the Insurrection Act, then spend the next few weeks arresting the leaders of BLM and antifa, as well as their collaborators in state and municipal governments, for the crimes they have already committed. Once the Leftist beast is decapitated, I would pardon Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers. Then I’d grab some popcorn.
“But we could never do that! Blacks would burn the country down!”
If that is your initial reaction, I want you to reflect on it. Derek Chauvin, his fellow officers, and the whole planet have been victimized by a blatant hoax. If we can’t do the right thing and call a stop to it, then aren’t we admitting that we have to choose between having justice and having black people in America? Well I choose justice. Which is reason number one-hundred-million-and-one why I believe that blacks and whites in America need to go our separate ways. We need a racial divorce.

This does shed further light. I’ll add that sometimes the symptoms of having a coronary feel like a case of asthma – some say it’s like an elephant standing on your chest. That’s likely why he was saying “I can’t breathe” even before he was on the ground and when he was obviously breathing enough to talk. So the real cause of his demise is that he was speedballing on the dope, out of shape, sick, and stressed because he just got busted one more time, and this brought on the heart condition. If they’d let him walk away, he would’ve keeled over a few minutes later.
Other than that, we can thank our friends at the MSM for jumping to conclusions before all the facts were in, and doing their part to spread the agitation.
Yeah exactly what I thought too. He was already having a heart attack, probably related to methamphetamine, which is an upper, associated with coronary symptoms.
There is an ambivalence among police officers about whether they should in fact be dealing with mental health issues.
It’s the Union that makes these dishonors possible; time to separate.
Simply pathetic. Let the West Coast secede after the Communists fail to install a Dem presidency and let the Right stand ready to crush them in case of a civil war. Fight to unite your country, never to destroy it: that’s (((their))) job.
No. The ‘Union’ was a creation of deceit from the beginning. We were a confederacy of nation-states at the start and we should have stayed that way. If we had, we wouldn’t be in this situation. We need racial separation and Whites need a new political order that will prevent anything like this from happening ever again. Many Whites have already seceded as much as they can simply by moving further and further way from non-Whites. Now Whites need to secede in their hearts and accept White Nationalism as their political creed and one or more White ethnostates as their political goal.
“the video reveals that the police dealt with Floyd with a level of patience and professionalism that I certainly could not have mustered. One cannot say that Chauvin lost his patience or lashed out at Floyd” – When you work among ghetto Blacks as I have, you learn to be real patient. You always have to go the extra mile to persuade them of anything. Compliance is difficult when either conducting a traffic stop of Blacks, arresting them, or even performing a simply parole or probation search of them.
Every cop who works among the ghetto dwellers knows that simple and brief explanations are never enough. These people test your patience every chance they get. And now that the American culture gushes over all things Black, it’s even more so. Officer are often forced to speak to them as little children and to walk on eggshells so as not to anger them or get a formal complaint filed against them. If they are willing to admit it, most police officers in any major city would concede that Blacks must be addressed in deeply respectful tones. They must always be cajoled and pled with to comply with any and all legal requirement. These same officers do not have to go to such great lengths when addressing Whites whom they stop, but it’s an absolute necessity when dealing with Blacks.
Blacks do it for at least three reasons: (1) Because they are not generally law-abiding at the outset. (2) Because they are taught that any and all police contacts spring from racial discrimination against them. These people have been so badly conditioned to never be introspective (which itself requires higher intelligence levels) and, thus, never see themselves as the blame for their problems; that nothing a cop tells them will be seen in any other light than as pure bigotry and racism. (3) Blacks know they will garner sympathy and support form hostile passerbys if the create enough ‘drama’ which, by the way, is exactly what happened when Saint Floyd was contacted by officers.
This is why I urge all White police officers, if possible, to leave big city departments that have a large Black population. Remaining within such agencies will only contribute to greater stress and burn-out, including the real possibility that they will be thrown under the proverbial bus by their department staff because of a ‘controversial’ shooting or an encounter with a Black person that doesn’t please the simpletons of our nation.
Easier said than done, re the last paragraph. Basically, ALL whites need to abandon our ancestors’ urban metropoli, and gather into our own majority areas – where we want white cops and lots of them. That said, we also need national organizations (as I keep saying …) that DEFEND our people, esp our people involved in media incidents with POCs. This online “safety valve” stuff has to get offline. The evolution of the Hard Right has completely stalled at the internet level. Nothing pragmatic seems to have come from 30 years of race realist education and discussion. I hate saying it, but very ideologically and intellectually tepid groups like Numbers USA and the NRA actually do more good for the white cause than all white nationalist advocacy combined. Numbers USA played a real role back in 2007 and again in 2013 in stopping a mass illegal alien amnesty. And the NRA has actually played a huge role in improving 2Am rights across at least the red states. Where are our achievements?
No, actually that’s the much easier part – namely, leaving one’s police department to find another agency in a rural area that has a large White demographic. The hard part is doing the very things you suggested – namely, “whites need to abandon our ancestors’ urban metropoli, and gather into our own majority areas – where we want white cops and lots of them. That said, we also need national organizations (as I keep saying …) that DEFEND our people, esp our people involved in media incidents with POCs.”
The problem is far too many Whites are clueless as to what’s happening to them, and they will remain in such large “urban Metropoli” until things get so bad they finally flee. Trying to persuade them to move when they don’t even see their own racial and cultural demise is both a thankless and almost impossible job. The individual officer who has actually had to police Blacks, on the other hand, is likely more racially aware and is already inclined to find greener pastures.
“The evolution of the Hard Right has completely stalled at the internet level. Nothing pragmatic seems to have come from 30 years of race realist education and discussion” – There is some truth in this, and I understand the frustration. A few words in response:
First of all, our movement is still relatively young. In spite of this, there is a growing number of Whites who are getting our message, and it’s increasing as our people are becoming more marginalized. Tragic as this may be, it will work to radically awaken Whites from their multicultural slumber.
Secondly, there has been 60 years of anti-White propaganda shoved down the throats of Whites usually beginning in grade school. To imagine this will be overcome in a few short decades is naive. There is an enormous wall of resistance to even the most meager support for White advocacy so that anyone who dares to do so is immediately shut down and de-platformed.
Fourthly, the information and facts related to racial issues (average racial IQs, crime statistics, etc.) are necessary for our movement in that they provide the rational basis and truth for our people to be strong and confident. No White identity movement happens in a vacuum nor overnight. There’s an entire foundation that must first be laid. The timing must also be right. Thirty years ago, it wasn’t. Now, as we are witnessing the implosion of the West, it’s looking pretty good. Recent events and national turmoil are moving us to our desired goal, and our message is being more widely received among our people than ever before.
As for Numbers USA and the NRA, I don’t think it’s a fair comparison in that none of these groups – as good as they may be – openly advocate on behalf of White racial interests and preservation. To even speak of the economic downside of legal and illegal immigration as Numbers USA does is not the same as advocating for the right of Heritage Americans to preserve their racial and cultural interests.
The NRA does a good job of protecting our 2nd amendment rights, no doubt, but they would not be nearly as well-received among our people had they dared to openly declare anything supportive of White identity. These groups are in large part mainstream, civic nationalist groups. If they dared to proclaim the same message that White dissidents do, they too would find themselves just as despised and widely rejected as we are.
So, while I agree that we must be “practical” in our efforts, and while we can appreciate the social and political value that groups such as Numbers USA and the NRA bring, we need to recognize that our message is fundamentally different than theirs. We are fighting against several decades of intense and blatant anti-White dogma, and our people are largely blind to what’s been done to them. We have a constant uphill battle. The good news is that there are signs that our people are starting to awaken, which also means they will start to fight.
I can’t really argue much with your comments, though I have been saying since the mid-90s that we need “prowhite organizations that are not white supremacist” to advance our people’s interests (basically, what I was trying to say then was that we needed “implicitly white” organizations: groups that whites could join to meet likeminded whites, but which did not advertise themselves as ‘hate’ groups, like the Klan – or even as white at all, but which everyone involved understood were white; Jews are masters of this kind thing). I truly thought the internet was going to rev up this kind of thing. But so far it hasn’t, and whites as a whole today are even weaker than they were in the 90s (except for a small subset of better informed than ever white nationalists).
Essentially, for a quarter of a century I have argued that we need “intermediate” groups, prowhite but not explicitly so. Here at CC I have suggested something like a “Law & Order Society”, Support the Police (I was advocating this as far back as the “Trayvon” garbage), the America First Coalition, American Heritage Union, etc etc. Anything which is UNIVERSALLY JUSTIFIABLE ACCORDING TO NON-TRIBALIST ETHICS, but which we know advances white interests and will have more appeal to whites (and in particular, quality whites, the not-yet-white-nationalists that are our path to ultimate victory) than to other groups. Sure these groups *start* as civic nationalist ones. They really can’t do anything else. But they can easily mutate over time into harder orientations, esp as things worsen. My point is that what is important is not, for now, the ideological excellence of the mass membership group (that can develop over time), but the facts of a) developing mass membership itself (ie, organizing whites, or as I think of it, “de-atomizing” us), and b) doing so around something that does in fact advance our racial interests.
White advocacy qua white advocacy (for the moment) is bad (ie, will not attract any but the already racially committed, and that at some personal risk). But groups which advance conservative values and policies I think could attract many conservative normies who want to to do something (or even just meet their own kind), but won’t stick their necks out racially (until they perceive they have attained to a critical mass, such that it will be safe to do so).
Anyway, this is the next step. American nationalist formation and networking, with a longer term goal on the part of those of us in the know that what we really want is white preservationist new nation building. People’s attitudes (esp their Marxian “false consciousness” about race) can evolve very rapidly with circumstances; what cannot be developed so quickly are organizational networks of likeminded persons.
Even waiting tables for blacks requires enormous amounts of patience. They run your ass around like a madman, are very demanding, and tip very poorly. Working with them in professional/white collar settings is extremely frustrating as well. Things constantly have to be dumbed down for them, and when written up or fired they immediately go to HR and claim unfair treatment even when their performance is thoroughly documented to be abysmal.
The above is nothing compared with dealing with them in life or death situations as a police officer, but underlines the stark differences between them and us in general. I’m shocked that more people don’t recognize these differences and the fact that separate living spaces is best for us, but unfortunately MSM & education system propaganda is very effective.
This bodycam footage highlights the real reason they took the program “Cops” off the air. When normal people see how impulsive, irrational, uncooperative, and manic these black hood rats typically act when being arrested, they tend to lose sympathy. When they see the shit cops deal with on a daily basis, they tend to sympathize with the cops.
The narrative would have it that shows like Cops are bad because they unfairly target black criminality and skew our perceptions. The real truth is that shows like Cops actually validate and confirm what we already know to be true, and the truth is far more dangerous for the narrative spinners than skewed misinformation or untruths.
Cops was a very good show. I read a TV critic years ago who said that it was the only show that routinely showed lower class whites, some who were petty or, rarely, major criminals, but the majority being the law-abiding ones (i.e., the ones who called the cops, or bystanders), and he was right. It also showed as many rural areas as suburban or “classic” urban ones. When it showed blacks it was often a combo of slapstick comedy and bizarre otherworldliness, like the epic sumo/WWE showdown between cops trying to handcuff and a 300-pound nude, greased black man who had broken into a Philly barbershop in the middle of the night (why? I think PCP). The same Philly episode featured a streetfight between two heifers. One, who didn’t agree to be filmed, I don’t think, was shown from behind walking away, in stretchpants that could barely contain a posterior roughly the size if not the shape of an over-the-stove microwave oven. She was heard mumbling “I’m a cut yo ass” as she waddled off.
Blacks must have liked the show too. I hope it will be properly archived.
True, and it’s underscored by the fact that the cops have no idea what kind of person they’re dealing with and are highly fearful of the perps pulling a hidden gun, which often happens in these settings. Still cops are jerks and often needlessly shoot whites, a lot more than they do blacks
As a matter of course the officers will almost certainly have to be convicted in this case to prevent worsening riots and loss of life. They have been tried and convicted by the media, but Even I agree we must go with a true case of the greater good.
The European and indeed even Jamaican experience does reinforce the impression that a certain (by no means negligible percentage) of predominantly younger Black males are simply unable or unwilling to accept the Rule of Law, which is the foundation for civilised existence.
Usually the reason given is their finding the police force intolerably prejudiced and oppressive, so that the young gentleman in question feel obliged withdraw consent to be policed. But this is belied by their identical behaviour when apprehended by officers of their own ethnicity, for it is then asserted that the ‘System’ is irredeemably corrupt and unjust (‘Babylon’ in the terminology of the Rastafarians). And indeed do not the bulk of the Black community, who are not engaged in active criminality, concur sullenly with the this assessment of the institutions and societies our ancestors have built?
This being the case, and with no remedy in sight, I can only concur that with those posters who assert that the best option for the rest of us is to abandon such persons and their urban environs to the ministrations of their peers.
Doubtless we will be accused of defunding civil amenities and reintroducing segregation — but this is what our intolocuters appear to want, and we should not be afraid to give it them.
Greg: notice too that at minute 1:51 of the video you can hear a black female voice advising him to “stop resisting”. The cops also asked him several times to stop resisting. Yet, he kept going ballistic until he burst his heart.
“If I were Donald Trump, … I would pardon Derek Chauvin and his fellow officers. Then I’d grab some popcorn.”
Of course you know the officers are being tried/railroaded in state court and US presidents can only pardon federal prisoners.
Yeah, this bears little resemblance to the original narrative.
The Blacks know the State and the whole communication apparatus stand with them. Hoax or no hoax, the stupid Whites will take the knee and force others to accept the (((media))) narrative on pain of social ostracism and endless contumely. This has been a Black’s greatest strength.
When you try honest White officers, criminal Blacks will resist arrest.
God damn this nauseating negro worship.
I keep hearing mainstream media commentators throughout the world asking “What lesson can we learn from from the recent racial unrest stemming from George Floyd’s death?” Dozens of answers to this question are put forward, but the obvious one never is. The obvious answer, indeed the ONLY lesson to be learnt, is that MULTI-RACIAL SOCIETIES DO NOT WORK.
Can’t Black Lives Matter find at least one actual victim of racism?
Maybe that’s the point.
What BLM (or really, it’s string pullers among hostile elites) wants is to create a street fighting army. They promote the George Floyds, the Michael Browns and the Rayshard Brooks as martyrs precisely because they are violent criminals who will inspire more street violence which can be converted into revolutionary action.
Value add for several of these “martyrs” having assaulted police officers.
As for Jussie Smollet and Bubba Wallace, they join the ranks of Tawana Brawley, Crystal Gail Mangum and many more hoax crimesters in the anti-White agitprop parade. Why does the mainstream media promote such obviously false accusers? The very absurdity of their charges is likely the reason. It’s the old multiple lie technique. You push an agitprop line through the telescreens with multiple levels of falsehood, psychologically unhinging the public and making them open to mass manipulation – as we have seen with the George Floyd dust-up.
There’s that section in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four (Part 2, chapter 9) where Winston Smith is attending a mass rally in Victory Square for rah-rah-war against Eurasia when suddenly it is announced that Oceania is really at war with Eastasia. And at that, the mob immediately switches the focus of its hysteria to the new designated enemy.
We have seen something like this play out over the last several years. The police, who in the late 20th century were touted by media, politicos and corporate (remember the prison-industrial complex?) as the heroes in the war on crime/drugs/terrorism, have suddenly been switched to the designated enemy. Instead of gangbangers, drug dealers and terrorists being the great big threat to the security of all goodthinking citizens, it’s now the cops (with “White Supremacists” as the runner ups). And certainly the results have been Orwellian with statues torn down, records from COPS to Gone with the Wind dispatched down the memory hole, dissidents from James Watson to John Muir unpersoned, and history recut to fit the current year’s ideological fashion.
Of course, this can work both ways. If, say, a video went viral which demolished the current mainstream narrative, it could also shift the focus of public attention towards the real enemy.
Keep circulating those tapes!
Great essay! Fiery!
The Floyd insanity, like the System’s high-tech attempt to lynch George Zimmerman, presents a teachable moment, so anyone with some spare time should try to spread the link to GJ’s excellent essay.
The only possible improvement would be the relevant quote from Jefferson, which is now in the comments section:
Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people [i.e. blacks] are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them.
https://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/quotations-jefferson-memorial
Lincoln’s wise remarks are also worth remembering:
I will say… that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.
https://quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lincoln/lincoln3/1:20.1?rgn=div2;view=fulltext
the video reveals that the police dealt with Floyd with a level of patience and professionalism that I certainly could not have mustered.
I recall wondering, way back during the OJ trial, why so many whites were surprised to learn that police officers like Mark Fuhrman had come to dislike blacks. It should have been clear that Fuhrman disliked blacks because he dealt with them so often.
If you are a cop in any major city, everyone really should know, your main job is to prevent violent, low-IQ blacks from robbing or killing law-abiding citizens. Large cities require large police forces because they have a large number of black criminals. Since an urban policeman’s daily work involves frequent contact with the worst blacks, some dislike for Africans living in America must be expected.
Given that fact, it is notable, as Greg points out, how patient and polite the officers were with George Floyd. Dealing with troublesome Africans like Floyd was, until they were fired, a regular part of their work, yet they did their best to treat him humanely.
Alas this revelation will make no difference to how Mr Floyd’s untimely demise is received among the people. Already press accounts of the full footage savour the ‘callous’ attitude and conduct of the attending officers.
Whether this will spare the men under arrest a prison term or worse remains to be seen (and is devoutly to be hoped for) but for now at least St George retains the martyr’s crown atop his angelic visage.
Great text
Good facts but very biased and subjective article. Without feeling any sympathy for GF you need to admit there was a certain degree of brutality. There were 3-4 police officers on top of the guy plus Derek Chauvin´s knee on his neck while he was shouting “I can´t breath”. There was no need for that knee crashing GF´s neck for 9 minutes. Even passers by could see it and asked the officers repeatedly to let him breath at least. Well, guess what. He died.
No, there was no brutality at all. The police had a job to do. They needed to get a six-foot five-inch, 220-pound man who was obviously bombed out of his mind on drugs and highly agitated (1) out of his car, because we don’t allow people to drive that way, and (2) in custody so he did not present a danger to himself or others, and they were under no obligation to place themselves at risk while they waited for either an ambulance or a police wagon. As for the breathing thing: he was claiming he could not breathe before he was on the ground, and he did not die of asphyxiation, so he was bullshitting, and the cops were right to ignore him.
Best take on this hoax yet.
Clearly, the worst plague that has hit us in 2020 is the plague of madness.
This is an honest and succinct explanation of what happened to Floyd, and we shouldn’t care in the least — except the police officers are getting fried for doing their job. I felt the exact same thing about the Travon Martin case, which has bothered me for years, I’ve never seen my thoughts in print, so here they are.
Travon Martin was expelled that morning from school, I believe for having marijuana on his person and talking back to a teacher. And it wasn’t the first time. The principal ‘sent him home’, which was useless, because his mom was a working lady. So, our little Travon decided to hop a bus from Miami to Orlando instead of staying home and waiting for mommy to come home and beat his ass. No, instead, he decides, ‘let’s go see daddy, he’ll understand’. First of all, where does a school-kid get the money for a bus ticket? When I was a kid, we didn’t have money jingling in our pockets. Second, if he had had ‘the talk’ all Black boys supposedly get from parents, about not wandering around in White gated communities, why did he flaunt that, and walk into his dad’s gated community, merrily eating chips, and then not standing still politely when the security guard stopped to talk to him. Just plain politeness and civility will get Blacks and Whites out of most serious confrontations. So whatever happened with Travon that day had to do with bad attitude clear through. You cannot throw attitude with the police or security guards. And he broke that rule big time.
I completely agree with you, Greg. Distribute tranquilizer guns for use by the police and take these beasts down like the mad, charging rhinos and elephants they are.
My father, grandfather and uncle were all police officers. I have no idea how they did it. I have no such level of the patience required.
Pungently put and quite correct.
Racial divorce is the only hope our people have for a future, for us and for our children.
