      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.

    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.

    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

      That people are being stabbed in prison is an indictment on the barbarity of our prison system, so this should still piss you off.

        I mean they basically just told you that they’re a sociopath, so I don’t think they care.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      Agreed but I’m not going to be sad for him. I’m sad for the unjustly jailed ppl that have to go through that.

      When I was a teenager, I sat down and wrote out a list of rules for myself. One of which was “Act as would choose to when lying in bed later that night.” Meaning, don’t do something you’ll regret a few hours from now.

      I didn’t feel the need to write that as “Don’t do anything that’ll get you shivved by a fellow inmate.”

      And apparently neither did Chauvin.

    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.

      American prisons ARE meant for torture. Don’t get it twisted.

      If they were for rehabilitation or treatment, then we would see to that, societally. But we don’t.

      This is a small piece of why our justice system is so absolutely fucked.

        i think you’re responding to a normative statement by making a descriptive statement.

        for those unaware, here’s a quick explanation from wikipedia: a normative statement is “meant to talk about the world as it should be”, while a descriptive statement is “meant to describe the world as it is”.

        naw. not really. Prisons are meant to provide cheap domestic labor to the corporations running them. it’s all profits.
