Chauvin, who was convicted in the 2020 murder of George Floyd, was allegedly stabbed with an “improvised knife” Nov. 24 while in the law library at Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona, by inmate John Turscak, 52, according to a criminal complaint.
Agreed. I understand the flippancy with him in particular, but prisons should not be a place where your life is in danger. Think of the other inmates, not just him. There are lots of inmates who can be reformed, but living in an environment that is so dangerous makes that much less likely. Sucks all around.
Going out in public should not be a place where your life is in danger, either, but this shitbird saw to it that it wasn’t. Come find me when cops are consistently held accountable to respecting human life.
This is kinda where I’m coming from on this. There are still tons of cases of cops blatantly and aggressively violating people’s rights, up to and including killing them. They never show remorse until they suffer consequences. Until there is consistent accountability, and cops actually consider the full ramifications of their actions, I won’t be upset by the ones that might suffer some harsher punishments for their crimes.
Is your respect for human life conditional?
Yes, the condition is that the person isn’t outright disrespecting human life.
I feel like this is in the same boat as “tolerating intolerance”
