Conservatives believe in rule of law, not vigilantism.

This was neither. It was merely a murder committed in prison. Nothing more, nothing less. To impart some kind of political or moral meaning to this incident is to see that which is not there.

Depends if the prison killer(s ) had a particular motive.

I'm a retributivist. As such, it doesn't much matter to me how repayment for a crime is made, so long as that is, in fact, made.

The criminal justice system failed to appropriately collect. The incarcerated individual who killed the pedophile fulfilled the duty.
