The complaint alleges that while incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution Tucson, John Turscak, 52, stabbed Chauvin about 22 times “with an improvised knife,” prosecutors said.

Turscak was charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault resulting in serious bodily injury, according to prosecutors.

The investigation in the case was conducted by the FBI.

Attempted murder and assault with intent to commit murder violations each carry maximum penalties of 20 years incarceration, while assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury each carry maximum penalties of 10 years.

Chauvin was expected to survive following the attack last week in a prison in Arizona, the Minnesota Attorney General’s office said earlier.

    the entire system he worked for and upheld only produces violence

    They all know that already - they just think its a good thing because the pain is inflicted on those they consider the “bad kind” of person.

    The reality is that when fascists are confronted by their own violence, they aren’t against the violence, they’re just against it happening to them, because they think they are the “good kind” of person.
