Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer who murdered George Floyd, is expected to survive a prison stabbing, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office said Saturday.

Chauvin was stabbed Friday at a federal prison in Tucson, Ariz., The Associated Press first reported. He was seriously injured in the knife attack, the AP said.

A spokesperson for the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office said Chauvin is expected to survive following the attack, NBC News reported.

On Friday, the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) confirmed that a person had been attacked at the Tucson prison at about 12:30 p.m. and was taken to medical facilities. The BOP did not disclose the victim’s identity.

1. The prison employees must have been tempted to wait 9 minutes--

to render any aid.

[nycbos]

2. Life of Brian: Crucifixion is too good for 'em sir

[Sal_NV]

3. Good, I'm glad he's going to survive,

him dying would be the easy way out, I want him to experience every second of his time in prison.

[alfredo]

4. Death by incarceration.

They will have to put him in solitary. It will drive him insane, if he isn’t there already.

[onetexan]

22. I liken it to a slow death, a hell on earth

He's getting a taste of what he subjected George Floyd to. The horrific 9 minutes 29 seconds of sheer agony stretched out to a life sentence & dying in prison.

[Sal_NV]

23. Yes, I want him to feel the same fear every day that George Floyd felt for those

9min. 29secs.

[niyad]

5. I am surprised that he wasn't in AdSeg.

[sir pball]

8. I'm not. My uncle was a screw, they (and other LEOs) hate him maybe more than the inmates do.

He pretty much singlehandedly ignited the biggest wave of anti-police sentiment the country has ever seen; his former colleagues definitely have no love lost for him. I can 100% see the COs in his unit pulling a Willy Wonka "No. Don't. Stop." while he was taking blades – they probably don't want him dead because that would be too much of an administrative hassle, but they absolutely want his time to be extra painful and hellacious.

And frankly, I can't get too worked up about it.

[niyad]

9. Thank you for that most informative insider viewpoint.

Like you, I cannot get too worked up.

6. Oh what a shame....Wonder if he understands what it must have been like for George Floyd when he was attacked?

While I don't GENERALLY believe in an eye for an eye, I have VERY little to nonexistent sympathy for this piece of human waste. I have a saying that goes a little like this: "What you do, WILL BE DONE TO YOU..."
I honestly don't think that this is his last shanking or another murder attempt...PO THANG...

[purr-rat beauty]

7. Maybe he should have thought to lift his knee....

....rather than snuff someone out in front of other people

consequences.

[Talitha]

10. I'm glad he'll survive.

Hopefully he'll live a long life behind bars.
No pity.

[Best_man23]

11. No thoughts to share nor prayers to give to that piece of fetid flesh

If anything, I have some sympathy for the inmate who was wielding the shiv because the bulls inside that prison will make his life even more of a living hell than it is now.

[BobTheSubgenius]

12. His survival is a good thing, karmically.

Letting him live in increased terror is an upgrade, IMO. At least until the next stabbing.

I think I could add that I'm categorically, and firmly, 100% against capital punishment. Somehow, I'm able to see this as different, in some self-justifying way that many of us seem so good at.

I also end sentences with prepositions sometimes.

[Elessar Zappa]

13. He probably needs to be in protective custody.

Our prisons have an inexcusable amount of violence. The punishment is confinement, there shouldn’t be extra punishment dished out by the inmates (or guards for that matter).

[Kennah]

14. Wish him a long life behind bars

[Simeon Salus]

15. Great news

I'm sure he'll get excellent medical treatment,.

[Demobrat]

16. Incarcerated and stabbed

all for the sake of nine minutes of feeling like Mr super macho dude. I wonder if he thinks it was worth it.

[DJ Porkchop]

17. I can't say I wanted him to die from the stabbing, but I can see why it happened.

[Demobrat]

18. I think anybody could have seen it coming.

I certainly did. A white cop in prison for slowly murdering an unarmed black man in cold blood. Yeah, he's toast.

[Xipe Totec]

19. Thoughts and Prayers. nt

[sheshe2]

20. Interesting timing.

The Supreme Court rejected his appeal just last week. Hm.

[maxsolomon]

21. 20 replies, only 1 decries prison violence (#13).

Chauvin is no more deserving of extrajudicial punishment than any other prisoner. Getting shivved was not part of the sentence.

[keroro gunsou]

24. If at first you don't succeed..

That which does not kill you… gets to try again.
