Chauvin was not sentenced to be stabbed 22 times. As awful a person as he likely is, I would rather not see extrajudicial killing be praised.
Performing extrajudicial killing is what got him behind bars in the first place, after all. Quite rightly so.
to explain how awful chauvin is... the only reason he got convicted was because he's such an asshole, that not even other cops were willing to protect him, despite the Blue Wall of Silence.
you're right, though. it shouldn't be allowed.
I'm not gonna root for it, but I certainly wouldn't be upset if someone's successful
If anything, it's better that he lived. To be further painfully reminded.
Agreed, I want him to actually fear for his life instead of using that as an excuse
I’ll never wish for someone’s death, but there are a few obituaries I will read with joy.
You almost had it:
"All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."
--Clarence Darrow
The last part is often misattributed to Twain.
Floyd wasn't sentenced to death either but one of them was executed by the state anyway
ETA What a person is sentenced to isn't necessarily what's right. Famous actual rapist Brock Allen Turner (he goes by Allen Turner now apparently) only got 6 months for violently raping a woman.
And that was wrong, wouldn't you agree?
This stabbing is legally and morally incorrect, but it is fair.
For sure, that's why I don't care if he gets the same thing he gave
At least there is less people clamouring for stuff like this and prison rape here, unlike reddit. Crazy people will be ok with sort of thing just because they think someone “deserves” if.
Don't worry, those type of comments are already here.
People out for blood. At least there's less of them here than on reddit...
God dammit I'll kill you all, the word is fewer, there are fewer of them here.
Calm down, friend, we could all benefit from a little fewer anger.
I hope he lives long enough to survive at least 22 more
