:rolleyes:
CNN says it was burglary.
Not necessarily a violent crime.
How about “Intruder”?
If the guy is positively guilty, half of me likes it, the other half thinks prisons are in a sorry ass state if an inmate can do this to another with no problem- where are the fucking guards? Imagine what kind of shit is being done to timid weak people in jail for minor crimes.
Several years back, didn’t some people outside of jail castrate a guy for a sex crime, and it turned out he was innocent?
Or how about a picture of the Hamburglar? Robble robble.

Interesting assertion. I have yet to see that in US law.

Yeah, yeah. I know it’s not US law, and I know it’s not “right.”
How about this - The rapist (whom you refer to as “victim”) made a choice when he kidnapped, raped, and then murdered a 12 year old girl. He decided that the chance of going to jail was worth it, even though he knew bad things happen in jail. Well, something bad happened to him in jail, and since it was his choice to go to jail, I have NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sympathy for him. I think it is safe to say that had he not kidnapped, raped, and then murdered a 12 year old girl then his forehead would be sans ink right now.

I can’t believe that there are actually people on this board who feel some sort of sympathy for this child rapist/murderer. Laws, protection, prisoner rights? Who fucking cares about this guys rights?
This guy could have gotten gang raped in prison, shanked in his ass, castrated, and hung out on a flag pole to be eaten by fucking birds.
Everyone has a right to their opinions, but all of you who feel bad for this fucker are the ones who have the twisted, demented point of views.
Enough from me.
True. I got a belt sander he can borrow for free.

I’m comforted to know that I’m not the only one who noticed that–it was, in fact, the first thing I noticed when I saw the pic.
Save me a seat on the bus, 'kay?
I’m sure that once he figures it out for the first time, he won’t forget the meaning. If he does, perhaps that fact that every day he wakes up in prison for raping and murdering a child will serve as a gentle reminder.
As a humanist and general prisonor rights semi-activist, I should feel outrage. But it takes the form mostly of a yawn and a tiny bit of a tee hee.
I’m trying to think about this issue seriously. Stop making me laugh!
Thanks, tdn. I was looking for the words to describe how I generally feel. It’s justice (assuming guilt) very, very inappropriately and wrongly applied.
When I first heard of this story, I just about cheered. Some of you may have seen my previous posts about my daughter (she was 5 at the time) being molested by the 14 year old friend of my son. As you can imagine, I don’t have a whole hell of a lot of sympathy for child molesters. I think this pervert got off easy with a life sentence and the vigilante justice was mild in comparison to what he could have received.
Public humiliation is a great deterrent. The judges that make the convict carry a sign that states their crime (“I stole”, “I raped”, etc.) are putting an indelible reminder on the person. The “perp walk” and pink prison jumpsuits are embarrassing and stigmatizing. The stocks in colonial times had the same effect. A scarlet letter is a permanent reminder.
The idea of public records being enough notice is ludicrous. You are counting on a criminal to voluntarily notify the local police when he moves. Our local news station did a report about how inaccurate the online sex offender site is with numerous examples of incorrect addresses or no information at all. Mandatory electronic bracelets are partially effective but a sex offender in Florida slipped out of his monitor and committed another rape and murder. And don’t forget, you never see juvenile offenders on the lists so you will never know if the teen living next door had ever been convicted of a sex crime.
Owners of dangerous dogs are required by law to post warning signs to that effect. Shouldn’t the same apply to dangerous people?
This Friday I will be in court to hear how “Tommy” will plea. If his public defender has an ounce of sense, he will enter a plea of guilty, especially since he confessed to my wife, the police, social services and to our babysitter. If he decides to plead not guilty and this has to go to trial there is a very real probability my daughter will have to testify since the SCOTUS decided, in its infinite wisdom, to rule in Crawford v Washington that authorized taped victim statements are not permissible and the defendant has the right to confront his accuser, especially in sex crime cases.
So a child rapist and killer was tattooed? Boo-fucking-hoo. He should consider himself lucky.
He’s gotta be guilty. I mean… it’s written all over his face.
Yep. I’ll cry me a drip over this guy.
I’d feel a whole lot better if the guy had tattooed “stupid” on Judge Judy’s forehead, however.
Sorry about the simulpost, erie. That’s pretty rough and I hope you and your family come through this with a court that recognizes who the actual victim was. Damn if they don’t sometimes seem to lose sight.
I was going to make a Pit post about the f’ing SCOTUS scrotums but this thread lets me vent a little. I’ll let everyone know how Friday goes.
We all know how child molesters and rapists are treated in prison (I don’t have a cite but I remember reading that the typical prison population have a very high population that were victims of pedophilia. Someone had to hold him down for the entire time he was geting that tattoo and everyone else had to be looking the other way during that time. This guy is not getting away with just a tattoo, this is just the begining of a long road towards suicide for this guy and THAT is a problem (he is going to get raped and beaten on a pretty regular basis and noone is ever going to stand up for him (the guards not only won’t care, they will be complicit), the inmates will only refrain from killing him so they can torture him, etc.)
We all know it, but is it true? There was a thread on that very topic a while back, and (from my very faulty memory) the conclusion was inconclusive.
I think it was dreadful that this could happen in prison, since I believe prisoners should be kept safe from other prisoners, and vigilanti justice is never appropriate when an operational legal system is present.
That said, I would do the same thing (or worse) if I found myself in the same prison as someone who murdered and raped a child in my family.
So I cannot decry the action without being hypocritical, I only decry that the action was made possible to be committed due to limited safety of inmates from the act of other inmates.
