The attack came hours after his urgent warning to a counselor that he might become violent was ignored, WESH reported.

A prison inmate in California admitted in a letter to beating two child molesters to death with a cane while behind bars.

Jonathan Watson, 41, wrote a letter to the Bay Area News Group in Northern California saying he had clubbed both men

I stopped listening to rock 'n roll when I was thirty.
I listen only to classical music and opera.

Not all classical music and opera were created equal. The bad stuff, and there was PLENTY of bad stuff, never made it past the first performance.
The music from the "Masters" is still around because it was just too good to fade away.
"Rock n' roll" will fade away as well.

The Masters will be listened to in the year 5020...and on.

Our musicians simply are NOT taught to compose any music beyond the three-minute ditty for advertising. Music of ANY length is put to a movie.

It's a shame because our current musicians HAVE much talent but they must be taught to use it beyond ads and movies.

What a world. What a world!
Why was he taken out of isolation in the first place?
It was almost like he was set up, or utilized in order to take these two out.

No “Stairway to Heaven?”

If a multiple murderer deserves a second chance what about a gang scumbag? Maybe the two men at least deserved a 2nd glance into their files as to what they did before being beaten to death. I’ll be frank with you. If I had two choose one of two men I had to be neighbors with and one of them murdered several people and the other grabbed a kid’s butt one time because it turned him on...which would technically count as assault...I’d pick the latter. I wouldn’t want either one as a neighbor but the multiple murderer would make me a lot more uncomfortable in comparison. Just saying.

You the man, al baby.

And the Podesta brothers negotiation team...

No “Stairway to Heaven?”

Lol. There was a stairway all right, but...

This might be an unpopular opinion but if people want the death penalty for peds they should sack up and do it the right way through the justice system.

We tried that, and the Supreme Court exceeded their authority in ruling it unconstitutional - Kennedy v. Louisiana, 554 U.S. 407 (2008, Justices Kennedy, Stevens, Souter, Ginsburg, Breyer in the majority). I still agree with you that we have a responsibility to keep prisoners safe from harm when they are locked up, but the solution you suggest has been foreclosed by activist judges.

“Doing the job our court system refuses to do”

And “It’s For The Children” !!

[cloudmountain]

You have a point.
One can always "get over" pedophilia but murder? Not a chance. I'd move in a heart beat.

[kiryandil]

And issue him a backhoe and a genuine Irish shillelagh...

[SteelCowboy]

You don’t go to prison for pinching a butt. Prison is felony conviction, and given how often they will plea bargain felony to misdemeanor, I’d bet the pedos he killed were pretty bad. But I don’t care enough to look it up, you seem to be all about preserving the lives of degenerate trash. Why don’t you look them up and maybe build a shrine while you’re at it.

Families need to stand up and issue out justice

I have spoken about this for years. If these criminals need to die, change the laws and make the death penalty work.

The Death penalty works, but the Court system does not. It's been infected by Liberal "living constitution" crap.

Frankly, I think people in prison should be locked up individually in cells with out much freedom at all. To protect themselves from each other and to protect their guards.

I'm not sure that's the best course. They are called "Penitentiaries" because they are intended to make people "repent." They don't do that job very well, but they should.

Lol...I knew someone would..

There's an actual GoFundMe page for this guy, for cripes sake.

It’s not that their ‘dumb,’ it’s that to them they are wired that way and as such do not see it as ‘wrong,’ like the rest of society judges it to be.

True Child predators cannot be changed.

Short of a Devine Intervention.

And then, I’d still not want them around young ones.

Preliminary information:

• Watson demanded to be put back in secure housing after he realized that they mistakenly put him in "softer" surroundings.
• Days before the attack, Watson said his security classification was changed and he was transferred from a single-person cell to a lower-security dormitory pod at the Central Valley facility. Watson called the switch a “careless" mistake and said he left “quite a paper trail” protesting it.
• The counselor in his new unit just laughed at him when he said trouble was a-comin'.
• Watson, who is serving a life sentence for a 2009 murder conviction, wrote that six days after he arrived at the prison, a child molester moved into the pod. Watson believed the man [David Bobb] began taunting other inmates by watching children's television programming.
• Watson: “I was mulling it all over [Two hours before the attacks the next day, Watson told a prison counselor that he urgently needed to be transferred back to higher-level security “before I really (expletive) one of these dudes up,” but the counselor “scoffed and dismissed" him] when along came Molester #1 and he put his TV right on PBS Kids again,” he wrote, according to the newspaper chain. “But this time, someone else said something to the effect of ‘Is this guy really going to watch this right in front of us?’ and I recall saying, ‘I got this.’ And I picked up the cane and went to work on him.”
• Watson said he then left the housing pod to find a guard and turn himself in, but on the way, he saw “a known child trafficker, and I figured I’d just do everybody a favor.”

Moral of the story: don't taunt the other crazy prisoners.
