Sex assault suspect beaten in jail

Linwood Rainey was beaten by inmates in the Hampton jail, police say. (Hampton-AP) -- Six inmates at the Hampton jail are charged with maiming after an inmate charged with sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl was stomped and beaten. Police say inmates in the same cellblock attacked 42-year-old Linwood Rainey in a common area after one of them asked him if he was the man in the news for a sexual assault.
Rainey was charged with forcible sodomy on Friday.
Rainey was beaten on his face, head and back.
A jail spokeswoman says inmates charged with sexual offenses involving children are not automatically segregated from other inmates, but they are isolated if they ask to be placed in protective custody.

That was a witch-hunt from the get-go and the real perps were recognized as the zealot social workers and their poli-hacks in the prosecutors offices until exposed.Apples and Oranges.
Recognizable as apples & oranges after the fact (of the revelations of the Wenatchee case). Not before, which is my point. Had the guards somehow recognized that a witchhunt was in progress they might not have allowed Roberson to be beaten up. But to them he was just another scum accused child molester so they allowed an arbitrary punishment to precede the trial -- and an unlawful punishment was imposed on an innocent man.
The lynch mob is so much more satisying emotionally... but it's still nothing more than pure unadulterated and unrestrained democracy: it's a mob.

Maybe there is a place for prison rape after all. Life sentences are starting to sound better to me.

Here's a happy story for you FReepers. All names and locations have been changed to protect the innocent.
I used to have a friend who had done some serious time in several jails. He was a bit of an idiot when he was younger, stole some cars and such, but eventually turned out to be a decent, hardworking guy.
He told me about one particular prison he was in and a guy named "Ox". "Ox" was a great big 7 ft. tall white supremacist who knew half-a-dozen different martial arts. He was in jail for killing several people and was an LWOP, life without parole. "Ox", it turned out, made a good scumbag disposal unit. Whenever a particularly heinous criminal (child killer, child rapist, use your imagination) would come to this jail, the guards would arrange for "Ox" and said scroat to have a special, private shower, which ended with "Ox" killing the scroat with his bare hands and/or teeth.
Afterwards, "Ox" would go to solitary for a day or a week or whatever, and cigarettes would mysteriously appear in his possession when he got out.
I have no idea if it's true or not, but I hope so.

They are being charged? For taking out the trash?

I have heard that this sometimes happens when child molesters go to jail in the general population.You heard correctly, if the other inmates find out about it. That is why many of them have to pc up.

The bastard who was arrested today in CA for killing the Runion girl is a dead man walking from the second he gets to a large jailhouse. I wish that were true but something tells me he will never see another inmate.
Got to protect the criminal, ya know! God forbid if we should deny them their rights.

The sick individuals in the system were attempting to further their careers on the lies they convinced these kids to agree to or "describe" after being effectively "coached".
This IS apples and oranges.
Very few, except for Neo-nazi types are for the renewed growing of "Strange Fruit".

Probably not true. Every prisoner who dies in prison is heavily scrutinized (unless he is a Democrat fall-guy). Wardens will do everything in their power to get dying prisoners out of the prison before they die so they don't have to splain how a cancer victims "suddenly" died in prison.
To: csvset
So many criminals got started on the wrong foot in life because they were sexually abused when kids. And even those who weren't hate the pedophiles. It's nice to occasionally hear that justice is being done, officially or unofficially.

My guess is that he bragged about it. Prisoners usually give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to guilt because they are all innocent.
To: Vidalia
and how the hell do you know that any given case isn't like that one BEFORE THE FACTS ARE ESTABLISHED AT TRIAL???

About what are you screaming?

You said the cases are apples and oranges. You didn't explain how you know this suspect isn't as innocent as Roberson.
To: cherrycapital
What was Roberson's past documented history of sexual assault?
Or any other sexual crime, or any other crime at all?

It isn't quite hypocritical. Even criminal societies have some rules. Actually, quite a few rules and they are VERY strictly enforced among inmates.
Molesting and or killing children goes beyond the pale. They will not suffer to be around such a monster and will kill him.If he dosen't PC up, which he will.
Nevertheless, here's hoping all the kites fly right and on some day when he is transfered here or there, "OPPS! Did your face just run into my fist?" "Here let me help you." (kick) "Oh no, now you've gone and mashed your face into my foot, you ain't too graceful are you?"
To: Vidalia
His past crime?
Isn't it enough that he's a Christian????
