Ex-officer Derek Chauvin, convicted in George Floyd’s killing, stabbed in prison

I don't feel bad for the guy, but I don't celebrate this sort of vigilante justice, either. Prisoners should be safe from other prisoners. Prison is not meant to be torture, and recidivism is a massive problem in the United States. Chauvin will have 20 years to contemplate his crimes, and treating him and every other prisoner will only reinforce their criminal proclivities.

Maybe Chauvin stabbed himself in a state of "excited delirium."

The important thing is, the inmate investigated himself and decided that he did nothing wrong.

I'm sorely tempted to start circulating claims about what Chauvin had in his system at the time.

EDIT - Also, this shit:

Chauvin’s stabbing comes as the federal Bureau of Prisons has faced increased scrutiny in recent years following wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein’s jail suicide in 2019. It’s another example of the agency’s inability to keep even its highest profile prisoners safe after Nassar’s stabbing and “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski’s suicide at a federal medical center in June.

Oh it's a problem all of a sudden. Can't imagine why.

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.

He should have just complied.

While it's easy to not sympathize with a person like that, no inmates should be getting stabbed in prison. It's still wrong. And still a symptom of the bad justice system in the US.

are we sure he didn't overdose? let's not jump to conclusions here.

I’m sure he would have been fine if he just complied.

Permanently Deleted

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a sharpened melted toothbrush, is a good guy with a sharpened melted toothbrush.

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.

While I don't particularly rejoice at the idea of anyone getting stabbed, I also can't possibly shed a tear for this guy.

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 hope he was stabbed somewhere where he found out what it was like to not be able to breathe.

Ohh so this is why murderers should go to maximum security instead of medium.

Well now he has felt the fear of death from the violence of another person too.

Probably shouldnt have murdered Floyd over 20 bucks.

Wow, I'm soooo surprised an ex-officer got stabbed in prison. Who could've seen this coming?

It's kinda freeing to be done with the disney channel ass idea that you should never celebrate others' misfortune. It lets headlines like this be heartwarming instead of disappointing

Not a single person could have seen this coming

Thoughts and prayers

The prison system needs to be reformed. He deserves time, not a stabbing. If you praise this, you're a shit-tier human being. That is all.

Sucks to suck

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Nothing to see here - NHI.

Sadly, he’s going to be okay.

Why is he in Arizona?

(👁 ͜ʖ👁)

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.

My thoughts and prayers go to the person who had to clean up the mess; Otherwise, this is just a taste of what he deserves.

Neat

It must be hellish to be so notorious, under constant threat, probably spening the rest of your life that way. No rehabilitation, no hope. An abnormally high suicide rate amongst the inmates of this type wouldn't be a surprise.

Ope

He ded?

Total cumskin death

America is an endless parade of horrors, each worse than the last.

Wait I thought Christmas was a month away but we're already getting presents?

Not all heroes wear capes

Cool. Somebody do it again.

fuckin took you long enough. i was starting to lose faith in the prison system
