Sentenced to jail 22 years ago at the end of November, stabs Chauvin 22 times. Nothing suspicious.
A former Mexican Mafia member who admitted carrying out a number of crimes while working as an undercover FBI informant was sentenced Monday in Los Angeles federal court to 30 years in prison.
John Turscak, 30, expressed bitter disappointment with his sentence. He told U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz, “I didn’t commit those crimes for kicks. I did them because I had to if I wanted to stay alive. I told that to the [FBI] agents and they just said, ‘Do what you have to do.’ ”
In 1997, Turscak became an informant in an investigation that resulted in the indictment of more than 40 alleged Mexican Mafia members and associates.
Midway through the probe, however, prosecutors dropped him as an informer after he admitted dealing drugs, extorting money and authorizing assaults while on the government payroll.
Turscak pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiring to kill a rival in the prison-based gang. He could have received a maximum of life in prison.
I pray for him every so often. I should probably make that a regular thing. I know he wasn't a completely clean cop, but in the situation with George Floyd there was literally nothing else he could have done, other than let the obviously intoxicated felon drive off.I feel so terrible for this guy, he was completely sacrificed to the mob anyone with half a brain knows he shouldn't be in jail but nobody will ever help him. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like to be him, the despair and anger must be debilitating....
Did not realise he was stabbed a lot more than once
Civil war speedrun?I would have more respect for the powers-that-be if they flogged or hanged criminals in public.

Instead they put criminals in jail to the tax payers' expense and use other inmates to administer the punishment that the state is too cowardly to mete out.
It’s just a matter if time before wrongthink is a capital offense. I’m some states it is halfway there. Florida governor Ron Desantis just outlawed antisemitic wrong think earlier this year, it wasn’t jail for life but we are getting close to that.
This is more hysterical hyperbole. In what state are we "half way there" with regards to a "capital offense" for "wrongthink?" This is more of the same garbage that a few of the usual members peddled on the last site. Again, it makes men on this site look stupid when a few members make exaggerated claims with nothing to back it up. It's the same as the left saying Donald Trump is a dictator and trying to steal our democracy. It's histrionics like this that make me shy away from leading other men to this site.
I can see his point. We may not actually be half way to having capital punishment for this. Also, I suspect the number of prosecutions under Florida's law will be low.I guess you have not been keeping up with news?
“Known as the “Public Nuisances” bill, the legislation — passed Wednesday by the Legislature — makes it a felony for hate groups to harass people for their religion or ethnicity. “
You do understand it’s now a felony in Florida to insult jews for their jewing?
This is the Florida bill that Desantis signed while in Israel .
I mean, it's almost never once, is it?Did not realise he was stabbed a lot more than once
Maybe that's only in a Shakespearean play..I mean, it's almost never once, is it?
This is what was done in the past in various civilizations in one form or another. You either got rid of a criminal/troublemaker/bad influence on the rest of the community or you made an example out of them as a warning to others not to repeat the same offenses.I would have more respect for the powers-that-be if they flogged or hanged criminals in public.
