Pat Robertson will very occasionally have a rare ok take, usually when you ignore context around what he says, too i.e. I'm sure he also praised cops after saying this and emphasizing it's only a few bad apples.
He did that 100%, the article says he went on to say that we need to stop hiring dumb cops and only take on the elite spec ops college-educated dudes. He also took out a handgun and a taser to show the differences lol
Everyone seems to be confused because it's some boomer phrase but "to put someone under the jail" means to straight up merk a guy and bury him in a hole 'under' the jail. He's calling for Chauvin to be executed (based)
Don't get too excited, he said on his program that the root cause is that police depts are poorly funded and not hiring the "best and brightest"
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.
I think he's saying Chauvin should be buried under the jail (ie. executed). I've heard that expression before from older people.
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.
Build a literal jail on top of him. I would assume burying him in the cement foundation would be the easiest way to go about it.
Either “let the folks he’s locked up sort him out”
Or “let him rot in a way we forget about him”
The entire city and office has turned on Chauvin, even more so with such a Bette rmartyr in the taser cop
