Former Aryan Brotherhood member, highest ever to drop out, recommended for parole

Ihminen voi todllakin muuttua.

Today, Thompson says he has taken a “vow of nonviolence” that withstood one of the truest tests imaginable: In 2015, a Mexican Mafia hitman got to him in prison and attacked him with a homemade knife, slicing his ear in half and cutting him in the throat. When the would-be assassin stabbed him a third time, Thompson disarmed him and grabbed the shank.

“There was a window of opportunity. I saw it. I played it through in my head. I knew what I could do to him,” Thompson told the parole board. “And instead, I took the weapon, and I put it underneath me, and I laid down until staff got there. And that was in keeping with my vow of nonviolence.”
