Are we sure he was actually stabbed and didn’t just have a pre-existing condition that caused a hole to open in his stomach, because of all the drugs he was on?
Stop resisting
He should have just complied with the stabber. If you aren’t doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear
Oh no…
Anyway, who’s still eating leftovers?
I make leftovers toasties for day after Thanksgiving lunch every year. Always a big hit in our house.
When I was young, my grandmother used to put leftover turkey, cranberries, and sweet potatoes in a ball surrounded by stuffing and then fried. They were my favorite.
Good Goddamn
I had something to say but I’m still scribbling down the genius recipe from granny. Bless us Americans the only idea we ever have is how do I make the food more fattening everyone always seems to love that.
Just like, Fried Thanskgiving. Served with whiskey, just not for the kids.
I started watching The Leftovers. The title is really misleading. Turns out it has nothing to do with turkey and stuffing sandwiches.
Potato sandwich
It’s real

He’s one of those guys that’s just better stabbed than unstabbed, you know? You can’t define it, but you know it when you see it.

Prisons in general should not be dangerous places.
Even for unrepentant murderers like this.
We should live in a utopia.
It’s terrible that this happened.
But… couldn’t happen to a better person.
I know what you mean, but he’s in prison precisely because there are better people. He’s quite literally among the worst.
There are thousands upon thousands of people incarcerated in the US, and many of them don’t deserve to be there. This power-drunk, murderous thug genuinely deserves to be in prison, as well as everything that comes with the territory of being a corrupt cop among a herd of inmates.
Weirdly dehumanizing language gets the down vote from me, sorry.
Ha no need to apologise, though I’m interested in your perspective.
I did make the distinction between him and many other people who are behind bars despite being innocent or are behind bars because their crime was unjustly inflated to include other charges (planted evidence) or their ethnicity/ socio-economic group played some role in their disproportionate sentencing.
A lot of this injustice comes from people like Chauvin, who abuse their power and in this case felt the repercussions of his scrum actions. As I mentioned in the other comment, him getting stabbed is beyond the sentencing he was given and is therefore undeserved. He was not given a death sentence and I don’t think he should receive one.
I agree with the sentiment but it’s kinda weird to raise the topic of “broken justice system” in a thread where the system finally punishes someone who deserves it.
It was a punny comment on the “couldn’t have happened to a better person”, where I was arguing that he wasn’t a better person, which is why he is where he is.
I think his sentence is an example of the justice system working (though it only happened because the situation became so popular and widespread, and incited protests and revolt everywhere), but him getting stabbed isn’t part of his sentence. The guy should get an opportunity to reform as much as anyone else in prison though.
Chauvin was seriously injured.
Floyd died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin pressed on his neck for 9½ minutes on a street by a convenience store in Minneapolis
In the last five months, Chauvin’s stabbing is the second high-profile attack on a federal prisoner. According to the AP, former sports doctor Larry Nasser was stabbed by an inmate last July.
Chauvin still hasn’t apologized or expressed remorse. He’s only conveyed “condolences” to George Floyd’s family and “best wishes” for his children.
He maintains his trial wasn’t fair.
I constantly hear laments about how broken our prison system is. How it’s focused on punishment instead of rehabilitation. How inmates aren’t safe. How the steps they have to take to survive on the inside turns them into hardened criminals and almost guarantees they’ll end up back after release. How the entire thing is inhumane and the fact that they’ve lost their freedom is punishment enough.
Then you have posts like this where tons of people are cheering the very things they claim to hate.
You guys are such complete fucking hypocrites it’s hard to take anything you say seriously.
It’s not hypocritical if the community driven to treat people as sub human get treated as sub human. This is like those comments about how you have to tolerate Nazis because if you don’t you’re just as bad.
This man slowly killed another as they begged for their mother. He wasn’t hardened by prison but by a police force that sees compassion as weakness.
It’s like the whole paradox of tolerance thing. My responsibility to tolerate your opinion ends when your opinion is ‘death to (insert marginalised group)’. Similarly, the vast majority of prisoners deserve to be rehabilitated. But those who abuse authority to kill, rob or otherwise harm those whom they are supposed to protect deserve to be punished.
Both things can be true at the same time. I wholeheartedly want prison reform and inmates to be treated better, but since we’re not at that point yet, I’m not mad about some asshole getting stabbed in there. Some would call that karma.
Do you really expect people to hear about this and use it as ammunition for how we need to change the prison system? “oh no we need to reform prisions so the guy who killed someone by kneeling on another mans neck for 10 minutes can be safe.”
You really got that strawmen you set up. Sure showed him

It’s frustrating how common this sentiment is. As long as people think there is justification for dehumanizing others, it’s easy to manipulate them as to who that “other” is. Chauvin is the product of a shitty system we can celebrate when that system is destroyed.
seriously injured
not dead??You know, I strongly believe in redemption of people. But, this is one of the rare cases where I feel no remorse that he got stabbed. Fuck this guy and what is he did. He deserves no mercy.
No, this is pretty much exactly what I had for his only potential redemption arc. “Gets stabbed in prison”
It’s almost like justice.
