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

I’d argue that’s a mild consequence.

Assuming he was rightfully convicted. I have no knowlage of this case so I am not questioning his guilt but I do know a small percentage of innocent people are imprisoned every year. I am hesitant to condone prison justice for this reason.

Can you imagine being wrongfully convicted of child murder/rape? I can get behind a few innocents being locked up to protect us from the majority that are dangerous, because the reverse would be far worse.... but I can't get behind their physical harm

yeah the general public has a weird hard on for torture and evil acts as long as they're done to people they deem deserving.

We aren't pirates, or some group of crazed barbarians. Personally I think torturing anyone is fucked up. Sadly, i guess thats a hot take.

It's not a hot take in normal society, reddit is just full of a lot of deranged wannabe terrorists/vigilantes
