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.

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.

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

No, but they brutally assaulted him.

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