Summary

How are George Floyd and the murder of Henry Nowak symptoms of broader tribalism? Learn more on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Highlights: On this Saturday edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” Victor and Sami Winc discuss an update on the Iran war, further developments surrounding the Henry Nowak case, and similarities to the George Floyd case. Hanson dives deep into the Henry Nowak murder trial and the subsequent public outrage over bodycam footage, which showed police handcuffing the dying teenager after accepting a false racism claim from the killer. He contrasts the case heavily with the aftermath of the George Floyd incident, arguing that Floyd's death involved career criminality and drug intoxication. Victor Davis Hanson frames the police response as a symptom of a broader tribalism and DEI inclusion standards that have infected Western institutions.
