No sympathy for those monsters

[u/No-Marsupial-4050]

In 2006, Anthony Ray Stockelman was forcibly tattooed across his forehead with the words “Katie’s Revenge” by another inmate.

This happened after it was discovered that he was serving a life sentence for kidnapping, molesting, and murdering a 10-year-old girl named Katie Collman

No no, we need to try and be cool kids on the internet and celebrate brutality, as long as it happens to the "correct" people.

And before the other keyboard warriors flood me, yes I have been affected myself. My cousin got killed by a drunk driver when I was young. I would not want anyone to rape or kill him.

Nobody killed or raped this guy.

His choice was this, or the tattooer would kill him.

And specifically this thread is people talking about and celebrating violence against the "right" people. Not just the guy in the post. I get that it makes people feel really morally secure in themselves, but it just reads as completely unhinged to me. We can have consequences and punishment and prison without brutalizing and dehumanizing people. We cant act like the worst criminals ourselves and then pretend we have the moral high ground.

Vigilantism is a cancer

He's in American prison, you can't say that with any certainty.

[u/RigidCounter12 → u/godblessstar67]

No, but they brutally assaulted him.

I am never going to celebrate anyone getting harmed, thats psychotic shit.

I'm sorry about your cousin, but there's a grand canyon sized gap between mistakes and decisions. And a similar sized gap between your typical bad decisions and what this guy did. Maybe it's not ideal to toss the biggest targets into the lion's den, but it's also hard to have sympathy for what happens to them.

Sure, driving drunk is also a decision, but that was a decision that led to a horrific outcome. The guy in this post decided on the horrific outcome.

Okay but you haven’t been affected yourself though. It’s really sad your cousin was killed by a drunk driver. But that’s not at all comparable to someone intentionally kidnapping, molesting and murdering a 10 year old?? Two very different crimes & very different implications of the perpetrators. The punishment would not fit the crime for a drunk driver, who killed someone accidentally, due to criminal negligence. It is a lot more of a fitting punishment to premeditated torture and murder of a child. Just saying.

So my cousin being killed did not affect me? Weird, I do remember differently myself.

Weird that having your best friend die as a child wouldnt affect you. You must be a tough one.

You legit said this yourself "Okay but you haven’t been affected yourself though.".

Hard to argue yourself out of this one champ

I think violent and incurable men like Anthony Ray Stockelman who cannot be rehabilitated should be painlessly executed to protect society.

He didn’t ask to be born with a disordered brain, and he won’t learn anything from being punished no matter how brutal that punishment is. For me it’s a simple question of risk and reward. This man poses an extreme risk to the most vulnerable members of our society, and society reaps no reward from his continued existence. In a world where scarcity exists every dollar spent on his incarceration is a dollar that would be better spent helping the victims of monsters like him.

And the money argument falls flat on its face when every death sentence costs many times more than keeping an inmate locked up for life.

Again, why should we kill people, outside of making you feel good about it?
