boo hoo

That makes two of us.

May he rot in hell and be sodomized for eternity.

[AntiGuv]

Awww - how ever so tragic.. [/s]

He should have been executed by the State and not by his fellow convicts.

[TheAngryClam]

I'm crying on the inside.

Honestly, every time I read about someone like this guy or Jeffery Dahlmer getting murdered in prison, I think I have a great idea.

Let's reduce the sentences of any inmate who kills another inmate by four months for every inmate they take out.

Goodbye prison population problem.

[B-Chan]

What can one say, really?

May God have mercy on his soul, on the souls of his victims, on his murderer and on all of us.

An ugly end to an ugly life.

[Temple Drake]

that's one down ...

[AngrySpud]

Hopefully he was shanked in the belly and took a long, long time to die. Enough time to curse his birth, and long enough of a death rattle to see the Gates of Hell swinging open for him.

[Lockbar]

Looks like that dirty little "fag" met up with somebody bigger than him. So sad (evil grin).

[hemogoblin]

I wonder if this will be called a hate crime.

[Clemenza]

OK, which one was Geoghan? The creep who claimed the kid "seduced" him?

[Russell Scott]

It's a sad day when your prisons do a better job with the scales of justice than your criminal courts.

[Mark was here]

I just hope they did not molest him, that would be real sad...

Geoghan killed in prison

Breaking news/by Eric Convey
Saturday, August 23, 2003

Former priest John Geoghan, a notorious pedophile whose case sparked the clergy molestation scandal of the past 18 months, died this afternoon after being attacked at the state prison in Shirley.


``The perpetrator has been isolated,'' said Kelly Nantell, a spokeswoman for the state Deparment of Corrections.

``Our investigation continues,'' she said.

The matter has been referred to the Middlesex County District Attorney Martha Coakley's office.

Geoghan was serving a nine-to-10 year sentence at MCI Shirley for allegedly groping a boy at a Waltham swimming pool.

More than 140 people have claimed they were abused by Geoghan, claiming they were fondled or raped at locations ranging from church rectories to their own homes.

Geoghan would become one the most notorious pedophiles in the country - not only for the extent of his rampage against children but because relevations about his case led to the unraveling of secrecy within the Archdiocese of Boston.

Bernard Cardinal Law's cordial letters to Geoghan, mixing discipline with praise for his priestly service, that pushed many victims from disbelief to outrage.

This should send up a nice rainbow colored flag to the rest of the pedophile priests.

In lieu of execution by the state of Massachussetts this will just have to do. A convict did what "the state" was too gutless to do.

Our legal establishment failed us so a scorned and lowly jailbird had to set it right. A lowly jailbird was given the task of balancing the scales of justice

[jetson]

Aw shucks...he didn't have to ride the " IRON MARE".

[b4its2late]

In prison, his petname was probably Shirley.......
