Of course this would happen, but yeah, he shouldn’t have been stabbed in prison. I hope that’s obvious to everyone.
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.
System works as designed.
I’d rather they were punished and rehabilitated. Both are necessary.
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.
are we sure he didn’t overdose? let’s not jump to conclusions here.
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.
American prisons ARE meant for torture. Don’t get it twisted.
naw. not really. Prisons are meant to provide cheap domestic labor to the corporations running them. it’s all profits.
Well both those things can be true.
That’s a part of it, yes. It’s the slavery loophole in the 13th amendment.
Less of a loophole, more of an intended feature
Loopholes are things intentionally built into structures with the purpose of allowing something through. I find it weird so many people think loopholes aren’t something intentional.
Never forget, it’s actually legal to enslave prisoners according to the 13th Amendment.
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”.
If we could read we would be very upset.
the most niche grammar nazi
Total cumskin death
Sucks to suck
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.
Cool. Somebody do it again.
Wait I thought Christmas was a month away but we’re already getting presents?
Not all heroes wear capes
fuckin took you long enough. i was starting to lose faith in the prison system
Neat
America is an endless parade of horrors, each worse than the last.
