I understand that nothing can be done to remedy the disgusting behavior that Chauvin did, but goddamn does it feel nice to see something like this. Chauvin spent a lot of his career tossing people into prison and was made an infamous part of US history in the 21st century when he brutally beat, chokes and murdered George Floyd. The 2 had worked together in the past, if Chauvin’s crime on its own wasn’t already 1st degree murder, that fact puts it over the top. To see someone like that in prison, and to know that he’s getting stabbed and living in fear, like the people he terrorized, well it doesn’t right any wrongs, but it’s something that you love to hear.

This is one of those rare points where I can casually stow my aims for carceral abolition. Couldn't happen to a more deserving recipient.

There is no contradiction between wanting everyone free one day and wanting a slavecatcher stabbed today

Dialectics!

Prison abolition for all except for fans of imprisonment

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

On one hand, this sort of thing shouldn't be happening in prisons, and they should at minimum be reformed to be rehabilitative rather than punitive, and better funded so inmates aren't trying to kill each other. To say nothing of abolishing private prisons entirely and overhauling the justice system to address the excessive number of prisoners in the system to begin with.

On the other hand, lol. lmao.

Idk if it's unfortunate.

Now he's gotta live with a shank wound and worry about it happening again at any moment from around any corner. Sounds worse tbh.

[-] ButtigiegMineralMap@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yea it’s definitely worse for him. That does a fair amount of psychological damage, finally seeing Real dangerous consequences for the shit he did and thought he could get away with

I love charcuterie boards.

Naturally sh.itfullof.nazis is clutching their pearls about how horrifying this is in their usual faux-left "nazis deserve healthcare" manner.

[-] detalferous@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Prison should not be a terrordrome.

It's hard to feel bad for chauvin, but the law should be blind, and state custody should be safe.
