Both victims were serving life prison sentences for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14 years old.

Victims? Any how trying to give a damn but the concept is just failing me.

[Leep]

Do they need more canes?

[Pearls Before Swine]

That must have been a very substantial cane. More like a bat or a club.

[Telepathic Intruder]

The first thing I’ll do if convicted falsely of an imprisonable offense is fake a walking disability.

[lee martell]

I’m starting to see a pattern here.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Sad.

Dianne Feinstein said; “Nobody needs a Cane that big!”

[Billthedrill]

Lifer with nothing to lose takes his cane to a pair of child molesters. Ugly stuff.

[Dogbert41]

This is just the right case for our top inspector!

[Bratch]

I would prefer a large rock or lawnmower, but a cane will do.

[Tench_Coxe]

Is the Chronicle unhappy about this?

[PGalt]

Good news. Thanks.

[Colofornian]

This sounds like a cane mutiny to the status quo treatment of child predators.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Even among the worst of the worst child molesters don’t survive!! EVERYONE knows this in the prison system so WHY were they placed in the normal population??? Not that I give a damn just sayin!!!

[IndispensableDestiny]

"The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is investigating the motive for the attack."

I'd say he doesn't like child molesters.

[upsdriver]

This is not good. Suppose that person was wrongly convicted? They just killed an innocent man.

I’m all for a death penalty conviction in these cases but let the courts and juries decide it, not some equally horrendous incarcerated thug.

[Gamecock]

Canes will mess you up.

[thoughtomator]

For their crimes I personally would have them face the death penalty.

However, once they are in state custody, the state is responsible for them, regardless of their crimes. No matter their crime, if a person in prison is harmed while in custody, that is shameful to any who claim to be civilized.

It’s a really short step from thinking this is OK to thinking prison rapes are OK too - and I know there are folks here who explicitly not only approve of but cheer the latter.

People who are better than these criminals do not do this, and do not allow this.

[Grampa Dave]

Can anyone find out the brand name of the Cane/Canes used.

If they were wood, what type of wood and diameter and length of the cane?

If they were not wood, what were they made of?

[TigersEye]

That’s a shame. They should prosecute the guy who killed him.
Hey! Is that a squirrel over there?
