WorldNetDaily columnist Jack Cashill has long been a fan of police officer Derek Chauvin for killing George Floyd as part of his enthusiasm for white people who kill black people. For his Jan. 17 column, Cashill called on Chauvin’s mom to perpetuate the victimhood narrative by making unsupported claims about how Chauvin is supposedly being treated in prison after getting stabbed:
On Nov. 24 of this past year, one-time FBI informant John Turscak stabbed former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin 22 times at the FCI Tucson prison where both were housed.
In their continued persecution of Chauvin, now 47, for his role in the death of George Floyd, prison officials have made Chauvin’s life even more miserable than it was prior to the stabbing. “It was like he was the perpetrator,” Chauvin’s mother, Caroline Pawlenty, told me.
While he recovers, Chauvin is locked away in a small windowless medical unit. The only real difference between his cell and a standard one is the steel procedural table in the middle with a rail on its side for easy handcuffing.
The only regular human contact Chauvin has is with the guards who open his door to give him his meals. He is allowed one 10-minute phone call a week.
While in the general population before the stabbing, Chauvin had access to TV, the internet and the library. He had a tablet for games and the like, could rent movies and exercised daily, running 10 or so miles a day.
The last time Caroline saw her son before the stabbing he had a tan. When she visited him earlier this month, she was “horrified” to see him looking so gaunt and pale.
Cashill didn’t explain how this alleged treatment is any different from that received by any other prison inmate, or why Chauvin alone shouldn’t be treated that way. He went on to take a shot at Minnesota’s attorney general:
The last few months have been a nightmare for Chauvin and his parents. Caroline learned about his stabbing only through an Associated Press article.
It horrified her that the prison contacted Minnesota’s racist attorney general, Keith Ellison – his relationship with the Nation of Islam cost him the DNC chair – before anyone contacted her.
“He was duly convicted of his crimes,” said Ellison after the stabbing, “and, like any incarcerated individual, he should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence.”
In truth, Chauvin was anything but duly convicted. The medical examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker, was coerced into adding “neck compression” to Floyd’s pathology report to cover up the real cause of Floyd’s death.
Cashill did not explain how, exactly, anything Ellison said about Chauvin was “racist.” His claim about Baker is his current conspiracy theory regarding Chauvin, which ignores how Baker testified that he faced no political pressure to add or delete anything in Floyd’s autopsy report and that his learning about neck compression — the method Chauvin used to incapacitate Floyd — is what caused him to rethink his conclusions.
Cashill concluded by whining (and injecting a unsupported conspiracy about the election):
Chauvin was offered up as sacrificial lamb in the summer of 2020. The riots that ensued scared corporate America into accepting a rigged election.
The Democrats promise much more of the same this summer. So police are advised not to do what Chauvin did on that fateful day in May 2020 – volunteer to work on a day he wasn’t scheduled.
In woke America, no good deed goes unpunished.
Cashill apparently believes that killing a black man is a “good deed.”
