NBC2 ^ | Friday, February 21st 2020

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

If the state incarcerates people, the state is responsible for their safety, regardless of their crimes.

If we want the death penalty, give them death at the hands of the state.

So you are saying that 18 year olds who stautorily rape their 17.9 yo girlfriends should get the death penalty?

Since you seem to be incapable of seeing this for yourself, I'll jump in.

What he was saying is, that without knowing more, that is what may have happened here.

I think you're 100% right: either openly advocate for having the death penalty extended to other felonious crimes, such as forcible raping of a child, forcible sodomy, etc. and argue for it like a rational being, OR keep your tongue behind your teeth.

Do not advocate for random extrajudicial punishment in the nation's lockups and prisons, that is, mayhem by felons. We are not North Korea. We are not Pakistan.

I have complained to the Mods about the rising level of sadistic violence fantasizing, "punishment porn," but to no avail.

There are dozens, maybe hundreds of stalwart conservatives I could have introduced to this website--- and they could have been a huge help with the FReepathons, too --- but I dare not invite them. Because some of the comments that are allowed here are strongly repellent to normal, morally sound, intellectual competent, strongly conservative, Faith&Family Trumpers.

Had the justice system worked the first time, those two child molesters would have been hanged rather than being put into the lockup.

the issue is whether they were really guilty and the only reason I ask (I despise child molesters) is I witness a jury convict someone of child molestation that I was sure hadn’t been anything but poor

I doubt that it would go the way you envision; the “convict code”, from all I have read and seen over the years, has always been invariably of attack on child molesters. While sex offenses can vary wildly and some in that case environment may not make a distinction without all the facts, the one constant seems to have held true over the years to issue summary execution on child molesters whenever the opportunity arises.

Anonymously, I hope. While some part of me wholeheartedly agrees with your response, another part never wants to have contact of ANY KIND with that element of society.

If you mean to rebuke me and hurt my feelings the right thing to say would be something about a time when I’ve substantively hurt someone in real life, for example a time that I failed to appreciate all that my parents did for me and yet I remained a selfish immature person long into adulthood.

Or, a time when I’ve had a relationship that I unfairly and selfishly mistreated, just because I just did.

Criticism like that might hurt me because there might be real life truth in it.

Scold me over some comments in a thread like this one, and bring my mom into it too?

I won’t argue that...and it’s tough to argue against ‘justice’ being applied by others, if the state elects Democrats who don’t believe in using the judicial system.

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.

Pshhhhh, that ain't nothin. I am against the death penalty, period. I don't trust the State.

I think we at Free Republic should buy him a carton of cigarettes as thanks. 2 less assholes we have to support. Meantime he smokes himself into lung cancer and then we drop the 3rd one. Look at the savings!

Is all fun and games until your falsely accused 18 yo son is beaten to death in the county slammer because he statutorily raped his 17.9 yo gf. The men in this particular example may have been scum but vigilante felons are not known to be fastidious about checking paperwork.

Yup. The details matter, especially today where it's so easy to be screwed by what is essentially a technicality. You and I can commit 5 felonies a day and not even be aware of it. It is also a fact that bad things are going to happen to folks in prison. I do not know how such things can be avoided in every case, even it one tries to do so.

Then again, sometimes justice is served despite the legal system doing its best not to allow it.

Ahhh...perfect Friday night music...wait, I haven’t clicked yet, it better be my Eagles. Thank you kind sir.

On topic, re: this subject matter. So, 2 dudes violated society’s rules and ruined some lives. And then another guy comes along, violated the rules, and took some lives. I must say, some of you folks better decide which of society’s rule are really real.

Yep. I have friends in prison, including Corcoran, and they’ve all stated that chesters are at the way bottom in prison. The main reason is that they fear these guys will get back on the street and molest one of their own family members or friends.

Wow, I'm sad for you. So, you missed out on all the classically trained rock geniuses, like Emerson Lake and Palmer (and many others that I can't recall at the moment). That's too bad for you.

Go read his post again, Einstein, before you jump in over your head.

What he said was that if Society had the guts and wanted pedos dead they should pass the death sentence for them. So, using his logic and ignoring the fact that murderers and pedos serving life sentences aren't in county jails, the 18 year old would either be on death row with the other pedos or he wouldn't be a pedo and in danger of being beaten to death by a vigilante prisoner. He'd just be another prisoner. Get it?
