-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I don't know, he was no angel... Does anyone know if he had drugs in his system when it happened?

lol

But seriously, prisons are unsafe places where vigilante "justice" is openly accepted and this is a bad thing.

spoilerbut also lol

This story would be horrific for sure if it happened to someone who didn't deserve it. But yeah, with you 100%.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

In an abstract sense, I don't want any murderers killed like that. I don't want prison to be a thing. But for once the people exempted from the prison industrial complex are subjected to the same shit as everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

For obvious reasons I cannot celebrate violence in prisons, plus I specifically want this motherfucker to live a long miserable life

Floyd, who was Black, died on May 25, 2020, after Chauvin, who is white, pressed a knee on his neck for 9½ minutes on the street outside a convenience store where Floyd was suspected of trying to pass a counterfeit $20 bill.

the fuck is this phrasing

Very often writers will defend their "officer involved shooting" BS by saying something like "oh he's innocent until proven guilty"

Motherfucker, this guy is CONVICTED. You're allowed to say without ambiguity that he murdered George Floyd because that is the official opinion of the US Government on the matter unless it gets appealed and overturned.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

"Some people say, that the former officer was involved in death of Mr. Floyd." maybe-later-kiddo

saul-anime "Yes, the people in the courtroom that found him guilty."

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

I could almost see it as an author who is trying to acknowledge that the outcry was that black lives matter and, as such, the murder had a racial element to it. I'd probably get rid of everything after store because the topic of the piece isn't about what Floyd was doing. You might also consider being more explicit about your motivations for bringing up race and making it two sentences: one about how Chauvin murdered Floyd and another about how the white on black murder sparked a big conversation about race. That would, of course, be giving the benefit of the doubt which is a hehexd kind of situation.

Pig Hospitalized After Medical Incident During Prisoner Interaction

DID THEY GET HIS SEMEN IN TIME?????

[–] [email protected] 67 points 2 years ago

Ex-officer Derek Chauvin, convicted in George Floyd’s killing,

He's convicted of second-degree murder and they still can't bring themselves to say that an officer killed someone

FMR. OFFICER DEREK CHAUVIN WOUNDED BY KNIFE IN INMATE-INVOLVED STABBING

[–] [email protected] 59 points 2 years ago

Was he resisting? The article doesn't explain the context. And he was no angel.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If he didn’t want to get stabbed he should have just done what the other prisoners wanted him to do

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 years ago

I hear the police officer body has ways of shutting that whole thing down

He was no angel.

Have they released the name? Giving some money to his Commissary acount might encourage a repeat if it really takes off

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I wish him a very infection

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago

Awe he came so close to becoming a good cop. Maybe he will get lucky and the same fellow who was helping him can get him all the way to being a good cop.

Hilarious. Hope it happens again

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

i find this preferable to him dying of it. they should also take turns kneeling on his neck.

Brings a smile to my face. Vigilante justice is bad or whatever, but this is cool.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

We need to find the name of this good samaritan and put some money on their commissary account for a job well done.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago

couldn't have happened to a better person

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago

i condem ~~hamas~~ the prisoners for not going far enough

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago (3 children)

As much as I'd like him to die, getting to read an annual headline of "Chauvin stabbed in prison yet again" also sounds acceptable.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Yes, let him suffer more

Lol get rekt

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

Look, being a prisoner is a high stress position and sometimes, mistakes happen. The associated prisoners will do a full internal audit and summarize their findings in a press release within 26 months.
