    Murderer. The proper way to refer to him, mainstream news, is “the murderer Derek Chauvin”. He was convicted of murdering George Floyd.

    I feel this whole case is everything wrong with the justice system (aside from him actually facing consequences). A corrupt cop with a history of violence gets attacked in an overpopulated and understaffed prison where folks are punished instead of rehabilitated.

      Right, none of these things should have happened at all. It’s just a negative feedback loop of incompetence and corruption.

        If someone can be rehabilitated, I believe that implies that they can be unhabilitated. It kinda implies that people aren’t inherently bad / don’t do bad things without something causing them to. If your dog shits inside because you forgot to take it out, do you punish it? If so, congratulations on being consistent, -ly an asshole.

    In November 2022, an inmate at the facility’s low-security prison camp pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot a visitor in the head. The weapon, which the inmate shouldn’t have had …

    Well, that seems a bit obvious.

    I’m just glad he survived. Death is an escape he doesn’t deserve yet. He’s got many more years of “fun” to look forward to.

    Of course this would happen, but yeah, he shouldn’t have been stabbed in prison. I hope that’s obvious to everyone.

      Should it have happened? No. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and all that. Prison shouldn’t be dangerous for inmates, no matter what they’ve done.

      Am I upset to hear that the personification of “ACAB” got stabbed in prison? Also no.

    Nobody should celebrate this. He’s got in sentence, there’s no need to rub it in and make him suffer more, it doesn’t help anyone. You can argue that he got off easy and should be in jail for longer, but wishing for his death in prison is needlessly cruel and short-sighted.

      Yes there is. Make an example. Make these cops so terrified of prison they clean up their acts or retire from the force.
