One is supposed to speak only good of the dead.
He’s dead. Good.,
He’s passed on! This bastard is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace. He’s off the twig! He’s curled up his tootsies! He’s shuffled off this mortal coil! He’s run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible! He fucking snuffed it! Vis-à-vis the metabolic processes, he’s had his lot! All statements to the effect that this rapist is still a going concern are from now on inoperative! This is an ex-kidnapper!
I’ve always wanted to use this. 
I wonder if the guards gave him any help with the knots.
Hopefully, this will give the victims some closure. The house is gone, the bogeyman is dead.
All the rest of it, yes, but I doubt he’s joined the choir invisible. That refers to the Heavenly choir, I believe.
What makes you think Hell doesn’t have one too? They know the complete works of Rebecca Black, (What else do they have? Really? I forgot he sang. Anything else? That’s it?) and Kevin Federline.
Hence them being in Hell.
I’m happy he just saved me from spending cash on his room and board for who knows how many years.
OK, I’ll bite. The God of Heaven moves in ways that elude us all (well, YOU all–I totally grok the plan). Castro was sent to this earth to do what he did as the will of God–to alter the lives of these three women and shape them into what they will become, to test our collective mercy, and much as Abraham’s will was tested so was Castro to mind his purpose with or without open recognition of his creator. Castro did what God created him to do: a horrible job and done well. How can anyone believe he would be punished for that?
Or maybe he was just crazy and completely deserving of derision, right?
I think this is the best case scenario for all involved.
I guess he can ask Saint Peter – or whoever has his job, but in hell.
I wonder if psychologists could have learned more about how he ticked. Still, not much to mourn.
Are his organs available for recycling? Maybe he can finally do some good for somebody now.
Eh. I think of him, and people like him, as just selfish. Sociopathic, sure; but a LOT of people are functioning sociopaths to one degree or another. If we were to call people crazy simply for not caring about the suffering of others, “crazy” would be mainstream.
But he wanted something from keeping them, and he got it. It was beyond selfish of him to do so; it was evil; but it’s not like he thought keeping them locked up would reverse Global Warming or something. He thought he’d like sex slaves.
He was a bad man, no question; but I don’t know that “crazy” applies.
These come in 3’s don’t they?
I can think of at least 2 more Castros out there.
Like you say, lotsa people don’t care about the suffering of others so it’s difficult to slap the “crazy” label on all of them. Few, however, take selfishness to the level Castro did. That would make him abnormal, ergo, nuts. “Evil” is such a lazy label.

Let’s hope that’s all of 'em.
I’ll admit it: I did my Happy Dance when I heard the news.
You may not have known about this woman, Sante Kimes.
After hearing about her on television, I selected her as one of my Death Pool candidates on another board.
Prescient!
There’s a great book about this very weird woman by her eldest son.
Oh, that would be Toby then?
Actually, it’s generally considered that the Devil has all the best music (by everyone except Cliff richard, that is) - just ask Robert Johnson … or Steve Vai
