I guess it’s no surprise that Derek Chauvin has been stabbed almost to death in prison.
I guess it’s no surprise that Derek Chauvin has been stabbed almost to death in prison.
The Minneapolis cop convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020 has been thoroughly scrubbed of his personhood, let alone his rights.
Nobody bothered to tell his family or his lawyer that another inmate had attacked him Saturday.
Despite being the most notorious ex-cop in America, he wasn’t protected from violent prisoners.
The fact he was even in the ill-run federal prison in Tucson, Ariz., 1,638 miles from his family, speaks volumes.
He could hardly be further from home.
Chauvin is more reviled than all the pedophile rapists and sadistic serial killers in the land because someone was needed to embody the myth of systemic police racism that fueled the Democrats’ 2020 campaign and created a frightening atmosphere of chaos and lawlessness that helped dislodge Donald Trump from the White House. No help from Supremes
In the wake of Floyd’s death, anarchists were given the green light to riot, burn, loot and kill in an orgy of anti-cop violence that threatened to engulf the country.
The corrupt political manipulators who engineered the unrest, and the cowardly agents of the state who staged the courtroom railroading of Chauvin would like nothing better than for him to be dead, to save them from exposure.
That exposure surely is coming, as an injustice so clear cannot stand in a country that still believes in the rule of law.
Liz Collin’s stunning documentary “The Fall of Minneapolis” is only the start.
The Supreme Court last week refused Chauvin long-shot request to review his 2021 murder conviction.
His lawyers argued that he had been denied a fair trial because Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill refused to move to a venue outside Minneapolis despite massive pretrial publicity and the prejudicial impact of angry mobs outside the courthouse, causing jurors to express fear for their own safety.
If a courthouse surrounded by barbed wire and National Guardsmen didn’t send a clear enough message of the ramifications of a not-guilty verdict, there was Rep. Maxine Waters, who flew into town to rabble-rouse.
The Democratic congresswoman urged protesters — who were attacking police and defying a curfew — to “get more confrontational” if Chauvin was acquitted. “Stay on the street [because] we’re looking for a guilty verdict.
