such a weird collection of turns of phrase, it's breaking my non-native speaker brain... "calls for Chauvin should", "put under the jail", it sounds like I assigned a student to write a headline using the expression "call for" and this is what they came up with
It's not correct. Like, literally a typo. "To" should replace "should", then it makes a lot more sense. I mean, Robertson spoke incorrectly, he should have said "in" not "under the", but he's a very old man and that's a direct quote.
Yeah, it's like a double whammy too. Because the whole idea is you're putting the corpse in prison because even their remains don't deserve to be free.
That being said, Pat probably just doesn't like Chauvin.
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought as well, you should either use "says" instead of "calls for" or "to" instead of "should". The direct quote is just strange, but that other part was straight up just wrong.

I think he's saying Chauvin should be buried under the jail (ie. executed). I've heard that expression before from older people.
Oh, interesting.
