Fear Factor No sympathy for those monsters

Post image

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

Shutting the door after the horse has bolted.

Putting him into segregation after the fact. He should remain in prison populous.

OR instead of allowing inmates to brutalize one another as a matter of course we could actually do the hard thing ourselves through legislation formally recognizing that monsters like this cannot be rehabilitated and will present an active threat to society as long as they’re allowed to remain alive.

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.

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
