  1. I think he had a diabetic attack triggered by a donut overdose.

  2. Who TF is in charge of the prison?

  3. Welcome to the American legal system 🤣

  4. Completely messed up. Even prisoners, regardless of whether they have been rightfully convicted or not, should have basic rights and be free from harm.
    Still not even sure the original decision of murder was even the right one. George was complaining about breathing problems before he was even on the floor. He had deadly levels of fentanyl in his system. Also how many murderers call an ambulance whilst being filmed on camera? Makes no sense.

  5. Sounds like he was still able to breathe.

  6. They could protect him VERY EASiLY if they wanted to.

  7. Funny how the media won't report the race or name of the person who stabbed him. If a white had stabbed a black, that would have been the leading sentence.

  8. Gee that guy got stabbed, wonder why?

  9. He will have no peace in prison

  10. Chauvin killed by choking to death George Floyd on "live" TV…….It was reprehensible and deeply disturbing. That he was stabbed is no great shock. Perhaps by a person of color doing the stabbing. The jails are not monitored well at all and leave open the opportunity to allow for these lethal attacks. He is paying his price by serving time. He does not deserve additional harm or risk of losing his life because of poorly monitored jails.

  11. Well. At least they didn't take his booty.

  12. Chauvin had no regard for George Floyds life, why should any inmates have any regard for his life? I hope that this incident will not be used as an excuse to send Derek Chauvin to one of those country club prisons that corrupt politicans and criminal billionaires serve their sentences.

  13. George Floyd was a criminal NOT a hero like the media made him out to be.

  14. What images in this story were disturbing?

  15. Hmm 🤔 how obvious the coincidence just after The fall of Minneapolis documentary released where Derek said by phone interview it was all a sham .

  16. George Floyd died of an overdose. Not a knee

  17. Im sure was probably sexually assaulted to but of course they’re not going to make that part public. 😂😂

  18. HIs empty behind those eyes we must forgive and give it to the Lord

  19. This is why you don't break the law.

  20. Awww poor baby. His fellow racists couldnt protect him… awwww

  21. …not 'about 9 minutes'. 9 minutes & 27 agonizing seconds of barbarism! 😑 What goes around comes around. He still gets to breathe.

  22. and god is a human invented diety that doesn't exist..prove me wrong all you god indoctrinated fools!

  23. well, how the predator has become the prey
