It
turns
out
Black
Friday
had
something
even
better
than
leftovers
and
sales.
One
of
the
most
infamous
murderers
in
recent
history,
Derek
Chauvin,
got
a
taste
of
his
own
cold-blooded
medicine.
The
AP reports
Chauvin
is
“seriously
injured”
from
a
stabbing
in
federal
prison.
Chauvin
was
in
custody
at
the
Federal
Correctional
Institution,
Tucson,
when
another
inmate
attacked
the
former
boy
in
blue.
The
Bureau
of
Prisons
confirmed
an
assault
around
12:30
p.m.
local
time
on
Friday
at
FCI
Tuscon.
The
agency
did
not
identify
the
victim
as
Chauvin.
It
released
a
statement
that
employees
performed
“life-saving
measures”
on
the
inmate
until
transferring
him
to
a
hospital.
To
the
disappointment
of
many
on
social
media,
the
killer
ex-cop
is
in
stable
condition.
According
to
TMZ,
“his
injuries
were
not
considered
life-threatening.”
The
47-year-old
remains
hospitalized
for
evaluation.
Derek
Chauvin’s
Multiple
Convictions
For
The
Killing
Of
George
Floyd
Chauvin
will
continue
to
serve
his
two
decades
behind
bars
because
he
survived
and
because
the
U.S.
Supreme
Court
rejected
his
appeal
last
week.
He
petitioned
the
highest
court
in
the
land
to
overturn
his
federal
murder
conviction
despite
pleading
guilty.
Chauvin
suffocated
George
Floyd
to
death
on
camera
in
May
2020.
He
kneeled
on
Floyd’s
neck
for
9½
agonizing
minutes
over
a
suspected
counterfeit
$20
bill.
The
horrific
public
execution
sparked
global
outrage
and
protests.

A
jury
found
Chauvin
guilty
of
second-degree
unintentional
murder,
third-degree
murder
and
second-degree
manslaughter
in
2021.
The
judge
sentenced
him
to
21½
years,
one
of
the
longest
a
U.S.
cop
ever
faced
for
killing
a
Black
person.
In
July
2022,
Chauvin
pled
guilty
in
federal
court
to
violating
Floyd’s
civil
rights.
He
received
the
lower
end
of
the
plea
sentencing,
another
21
years.
The
next
month,
he
transferred
to
FCI
Tuscon
to
serve
his
sentences
concurrently.
Chauvin
spent
most
of
his
time
in
solitary
confinement
in
Minnesota
“largely
for
his
own
protection”
from
retaliation.
“Happy
Shanksgiving”
trended
over
the
news
that
George
Floyd’s
killer
was
nearly
carved
like
a
turkey.
Considering
the
terror,
violence,
and
death
that
crooked
cops
like
Chauvin
regularly
inflict
on
communities
with
impunity,
it’s
no
surprise
many
see
the
stabbing
as
overdue
karma.
Check
out
some
of
the
reactions
below.
