Saying that jury duty is a way to "make positive change" shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of a juror, which is limited to the finding of facts related to a case.

It's similar to a journalism student who says they want to be a reporter so they can "make positive change". I'm sorry, but reporters should be reporting facts in an unbiased manner, and should not be trying to influence societal changes.

I can’t imagine putting my knee on somebody’s neck for that long. Others may find it ok but not me as a humane person.

He will be found guilty.
I think he'll likely be found guilty simply because the jury isn't really unbiased. There is essentially no one with any intelligence at all who does not at least have some opinion about what happened here. I also agree that Chauvin probably regrets that day.
