Horrific.
If someone deserves the death penalty then the citizens and the state needs to have the courage to administer it.
our Constitution outlaws torture and all the jerks who facilitated or are praising this horrorshow are no different than thugs.
I support the death penalty administered quickly with the state and its citizens responsible.
This? This is gulag material.
First, in Kennedy v. Louisiana (2008), the Supreme Court exceeded their authority and ruled that the death penalty is unconstitutional in all cases that do not involve murder or crimes against the State. The legislative option was closed out by an activist court exceeding their authority.
Second, I agree 100% that we have a moral responsibility to keep even the worst prisoners safe once we remove their ability to defend themselves. I have no objection to parents who kill these predators in the process of stopping the attack, but our government should not look the other way on what happens behind bars.
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.
National Geographic channel has several series about prison life, one is called "Lockdown".
Seeing what life is like for prisoners, I don't know why anyone becomes a second offender........
Indeed,if killings of sex offenders can occur so easily, ironically I am sure rapes in unchecked prison would occure just as easily...
They were an object lesson in the fate of those who violated civilized norms to such a degree that they needed to be kicked off the planet, but in a rapid and humane way.
It’s a fruit from lack of justice.
Our courts have stopped giving us justice. Child predators need to be executed.
But they aren’t. So some vigilante justice comes in.
It’s either vigilante justice or none at all.
I wish we had just laws and reasonable application of them. But largely any more we don’t.
Not everyone who is convicted is actually guilty. Law enforcement, prosecutors, and too many judges don’t care if an accused is actually guilty.
They just want convictions.

There are over 700 persons on California’s Death Row.
Some have been there for over 35 years. It costs more to take care of them on Death Row— in the neighborhood of $100,000 EACH per year.
Do the math & figure out how much money is being spent on these criminals & where that $$$ could be better spent.
In addition, when Jerry
Brown ws still Governor-—over $1 MILLION was spent to make this gas chamber ‘more gentle’ for those who should be in it.
NO ONE has been put to death in that new chamber, either.
Another boondoggle-—the specialty of California Politicians.
