Jussie Smollett headed back
An incarcerated former gang member and FBI informant was charged Friday with attempted murder in the stabbing last week of ex-Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin at a federal prison in Arizona.
John Turscak stabbed Chauvin 22 times at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson and said he would’ve killed Chauvin had correctional officers not responded so quickly, federal prosecutors said.
Turscak, serving a 30-year sentence for crimes committed while a member of the Mexican Mafia gang, told investigators he thought about attacking Chauvin for about a month because the former officer, convicted of murdering George Floyd, is a high-profile inmate, prosecutors said. Turscak later denied wanting to kill Chauvin, prosecutors said.... Turscak told FBI agents interviewing him after the assault that he attacked Chauvin on Black Friday as a symbolic connection to the Black Lives Matter movement, which garnered widespread support in the wake of Floyd’s death, and the “Black Hand” symbol associated with the Mexican Mafia, prosecutors said.

During my working years, I spent a lot of days working in federal prisons. Heard lot of stories. One I remember is an inmate made a shank out of a toilet paper roll and papier mache. Killed another inmate with it.
That’s Chauvin.
lol...It sure is...My bad.
yup, in certain facilities you weren’t allowed filtered cigarettes cause the filters had nylon in them
light the end, then mash it flat while on fire, produces a VERY sharp plastic edge
only good for one cut, but...
That’s ingenious.
And the ones who are minded this way spend 16 hours a day, 365 days a year thinking about it, learning the lore.

"New Revelations Prove Yet Again That Derek Chauvin Was An Innocent Man Railroaded In The Name Of ‘Racial Justice’"

Warch The Fall of Minneapolis on Rumble. Derek was railroaded by politicians. Disgusting!
Keeeeeep on pokin’ that bear.
Gee, and the usual suspects here in FR were so sure that the perp had to be a Black guy.
No pictures.
Stabbed 22 times! He’s lucky to be alive.
100%
100% that and pump iron...
“Turscak is a Slovenian or Croatian name. But he was with the Mexican Mafia who I would assume don’t care that much about black people or BLM.”
But was he also an FBI Informant as rumored?
The stabber was an FBI informant from 1997-2001. Then they caught him embezzling money and jailed him. This is probably his way out.
Then he’s in the right place.
Yup!
No, I would have reserved judgement until all the facts started coming out, as they usually do. I don’t understand the need by some to be the first to jump to conclusions.
Previous association with the FBI.
