  1. The prison system needs to be reformed / abolished. Chauvin wouldn't have been in a position of power to kill Floyd if we didn't revere carceral punishment in this country.
  2. There's nothing wrong with the people who are happy about this. They've been taught that this is justice. They want justice and frankly they still haven't seen it; Chauvin's punishment is like taking a single drop out of an ocean of police atrocities. We should destroy the prison system, but let's not destroy each other in the process.

I was pretty damn happy when Osama Bin Laden was killed and this stabbing doesn't bother me much at all.

Interestingly, I'm the opposite. I have a hard time celebrating death, but since Chauvin lived I'm not much upset about it. Yeah, it's because our prison system sucks and it shouldn't have happened, but he spent his life in service of that shitty system so it's got a nice ironic vibe to it.

Weird considering Laden was just a good peice of propaganda for AQ and more a figurehead than a real leader. Iirc, he was a rich guy they used as a way to lure normal people into joining - 'this wealthy aristocrat gives up luxury to resist, you can too'.
