Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- 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 --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- 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?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 113 points 11 months ago (2 children)

lol

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

spoilerbut also lol

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 70 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Helmic@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months 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.

[–] FreakingSpy@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months 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.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months 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."

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 63 points 11 months ago

The dick-riding fascists do to the end and beyond for cops is amazing.

"Floyd was murdered by Chauvin..." use that terminology. He's been fucking convicted. There's no liable suit potential here. You don't have to allege it or pretend that Floyd just suddenly became no longer alive. A court of law found Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd. Honestly an amazing feat in our shit hole racist country and they still use the ambiguous wording that "he died."

I fucking hate "journalists."

If I see any comments about style guides that demand passive voice or blaming editors (who also suck) I will shake my head in disappointment. I'm preparing to shake!

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months 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.

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

[–] FreakingSpy@hexbear.net 64 points 11 months ago

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

Pig Hospitalized After Medical Incident During Prisoner Interaction

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 67 points 11 months ago

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

[–] 420stalin69@hexbear.net 65 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] thirtymilliondeadfish@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago

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

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 61 points 11 months ago

He was no angel.

[–] Ehud@hexbear.net 50 points 11 months ago

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

I wish him a very infection

[–] CrimsonSage@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months 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.

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.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

Yes, let him suffer more

Hilarious. Hope it happens again

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

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

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago
[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] WayeeCool@hexbear.net 35 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago

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

[–] thirtymilliondeadfish@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago

couldn't have happened to a better person

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I would advise the other prisoners to go further

Lol get rekt

[–] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 19 points 11 months 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.
