Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis cop convicted of murdering George Floyd
in 2020 by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes while
bystanders objected and said "you're killing him," has been stabbed in
a federal prison.

Chauvin was assaulted on Friday afternoon at Federal Correctional
Institution, Tucson, Associated Press reported, citing an anonymous
"person familiar with the matter." While not naming names, the Federal
Bureau of Prisons did confirm that a prisoner was attacked at the
380-prisoner facility at approximately 12:30 pm local time. Prison
workers performed "life-saving measures" on that prisoner, who was
then transported to a hospital. No details on his condition have been
released.

Chauvin is simultaneously serving two sentences: a 22-and-a-half year
Minnesota sentence for second degree murder and a 21-year federal
sentence for violating Floyd's civil rights. His lawyer had previously
asked that he be kept from the general prison population for his own
protection. Former cops are often targeted, and, by virtue of the
details of his case and the worldwide uprisings that ensued, Chauvin
presents a target of extraordinary notoriety. He spent most of his
Minnesota jail time in solitary confinement.

The Bureau of Prisons isn't exactly doing a great job of safeguarding
high-profile prisoners. To name just a couple more lapses, there's the
2019 alleged suicide of wealthy financier, serial pedophile and likely
honey-pot mastermind Jeffrey Epstein, and the July 2023 stabbing of
sex-abusing sports doctor Larry Nasser.

    "It is also the second major incident at the Tucson federal prison
in a little over a year. In November 2022, an inmate at the facility’s
low-security prison camp pulled out a gun and attempted to shoot a
visitor in the head." - AP

It had already been a terrible week for the 47-year-old Chauvin: On
Monday, the US Supreme Court rejected his appeal of the state
conviction. His lawyers argued that Chauvin failed to receive a free
trial -- owing to pretrial publicity, and widespread anticipation that
a not guilty verdict would cause a new wave of deadly, destructive
protests. An appeal of the federal conviction is still working its way
through the courts.

In the wacky world of social justice warriors, Floyd has curiously
been elevated to hero status. Floyd didn't die taking a seat at the
front of a bus or marching for the right to vote, but rather as he was
being arrested for allegedly trying to buy cigarettes with a
counterfeit $20 bill. A postmortem toxicology report found fentanyl,
norfentanyl and methamphetamine in his blood.

Whatever your take on how exactly Floyd died and the extent of
Chauvin's culpability, one truth is universal: Perpetrators of a
wrongful death may be villains, but that doesn't make their victims
virtuous.
