Well it’s all so murky.
So a prisoner shot and killed to employees (hypothetically) and Destroyed 2 families, including likely a number of children.
Yet he sees himself as somehow better than a child molester or killer.
Our maternal and paternal instincts make us glad to hear this news (not all).
But if one take a step back, it’s ironic.
Men who may have destroyed many, Many lives seeing themselves as better in some way than another monster.
“Many lives seeing themselves as better in some way than another monster.”

The overall majority in Prison have been sexually molested/raped and/or physically abused very early in their formative years.
It’s an unbelievable cycle and so horrendous in the familial lines, including those who suffer at the hands of these men (and women) as they age.
I do believe Prison is not a place for what is often afflicted upon the inmates by other inmates or guards.
That said, justice needs to be dealt.
To me, anyone who’s serving over a certain jail time needs death if they’ve been convicted of a sexual or physical crime.
White collar crimes are a bit more harder to gage. Still, someone like a Maddof (did I spell that correctly?) needs the death penalty because of the sheer numbers he affected and ruined. And when his wife tried to hide jewelry she should have been made to serve time.
Just my 2 cents.
Oh. Computer hackers? Death. No problem. Just death.
very insightful
“Yet he sees himself as somehow better than a child molester or killer.”
Whether they admit it or not, many of the men in our prisons are victims of abusers of one kind of another. They see their own abusers when they look at prisoners who are in for child sex offenders.
That is because men can be murderers and still have the respect of other men. Easily.
Men cannot ever be child predators.
This will not be tolerated by other men.
Is this right or wrong? Doesn’t matter. It is the way of things.
It is not that he sees himself as better than, it’s that he knows it could have been his child.
Interestingly enough, the females inmates who have abused children or elders, are not in the same “danger status” as the males.
