I know this guy deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law for the horrible murder of George Floyd... But nobody deserves to be shanked in prison.
Prison is for reform and rehabilitation and correction.
The U.S. prison system is an abomination of human rights.
Strip their badge and their gun, strip their dignity, strip their title, strip their liberties, but don't through them defenseless into certain torture.
I will be down voted for this but my heart goes out to this man and his family.
No one deserves to get shanked. Someone should just kneel on his neck until he shows some remorse
All you need to know about US prisons comes down to just 4 little words. Don’t drop the soap. I say this every single time US prisons are brought up. Where else is the proper response essentially don’t get raped? It’s used as a joke here in the US. This is the advice that friends and family give to people they care about that are going into prison.
We should do better.
I fully agree. The people cheering this on don't feel fundamentally different from people who said "Floyd deserved what he got because he was a criminal". Yes, Chauvin committed an incomparably more heinous act, but he got a fair sentence according to the justice system. Vigilantes adding more punishment doesn't make the world a better place, at least in this case.
That said, fuck Chauvin.
People who glorify prison vigilantism are monsters. "Raped to death" is not a punishment for a crime, yet you always hear people excitedly saying, "Oh he won't do well in prison." It's disgusting.
I am against extra judicial punishment, unlike Derek Chauvin.
I completely agree with everything you said except that I don't feel the least bit bad for him.
It shouldn't have happened. Things like this shouldn't happen.
Do I feel even slightly bad for this guy that he's laying in a hospital bed with stab wounds? Nah. At least he got to live, unlike his victim.
I do feel bad for his family, but only because they somehow hitched their wagon to this PoS and probably love him - so I'm sure this is difficult for them.
This murderer deserves every bad thing that happens to him
