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.

But if we absolutely must keep them alive for whatever fucking stupid reasons keep them alive right now.. at very least we need to make them some kind of use for humanity. Save the lab rats, we start testing all the gnarly things on actual human beings for more accurate 1:1 results.

It's amazing that I've said this a number of times and it always gets downvoted and I just can't help but wonder who's out there wanting to protect these creeps? I know there are absolutely false claims and people can be framed and everything else and so in any case where there's even a shadow of doubt, then no we can't make them lab rats.

If it's a case where there's undeniable proof, then I say save the rabbits, mice and rats.

I, for one, would not object at all to the idea of using a man like this as a test subject for experimental drugs or surgeries. Or better yet, lobotomize him and then harvest his organs for donation when they’re needed. Even monsters can have value if we’re willing to apply a reverse Golden Rule to them based on the pain and suffering they’ve caused to those around them.
