Former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin has been stabbed by another inmate at a federal prison in Arizona where he's serving time for the murder of George Floyd.
I think for many people it’s probably the “just desserts” factor of our barbaric system hurting somebody who was a very barbaric cog in that very system.
While I certainly understand the concept of schadenfreude, I don’t think it should be built into our systems, and that doing so is an unjust, unethical failure on our ability to govern ourselves.
We know this system does more harm than good but enable it because yeah, it does feel great when bad things happen to shitty people.
Not when it’s some asshat that killed a man for a bounced check. He pleaded for his life and called out for his mother. Fuck Derek. That dude can be stabbed 1 million times to teach other officers they aren’t above the laws they choose to preserve. He put his own law on full display. He reaped what he sewed.
The barbarity of the US prison system is a feature, not a bug. Americans really seem to love exorbitant punishments, awfully similar to medieval Europe. Perhaps in a few centuries your culture will reach modern human rights standards.
Yea but do you realize how half those people got sent to prison in the first place? Besides petty non violent crimes those in that group I don’t count unless they get violent in prison as a result of prison itself. I mean I agree should havengot stabbed but there’s a reason most are in prison.
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.

Not this time, kiddo. Bad man gets bad treatment.
