Agreed. I'm good with him being convicted and serving his time. I'm not at all good with jailhouse justice.

No doubt we will find out more about the circumstances. I simply don't understand though why he was where he could be approached and stabbed. He would seem to be an obvious target.

Each year in prison takes 2 years off of life expectancy.

I'm a bit hypocritical on this. Ive been in jail, so I DO approve of most of it personally. Mostly he will be shunned just like other folks. PS-there are some crimes that get you shunned or worse. So dont hurt animals is one folks often don't realize. Being a cop who killed someone is right up there.

But...I don't want it to be like that because I recognize that's not how a good and just society should work. But personally? Yeah I get it. But im working on being better.

Interesting take! I think we all know what it feels like when the darker part of us cries out for some kind of physical vengeance. But releasing it gets us nowhere, except deeper in blood. There's a reason why we invented the idea that government should take this on for us.

Conspiracy theory is Chauvin set this up himself to try and being further attention to the case or to get himself transferred. Would like to hear exactly the pattern or extent of the injuries as doctored stabbings are usually pretty identifiable by investigators

ETA: I didn't know until I read that link that Larry Nasser was stabbed in a Federal prison 5 months ago (Nasser is the former sports doctor who assaulted so many female gymnasts).

No thanks, I'll pass.

More people need to remember that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Read it on Reddit. I hope your brain recovers someday.
