Elizabeth Smart Case: Street Preacher Sentenced To Life In Prison For Kidnapping, Rape

One wonders just what sort of life the bastard will have in prison -- and how long that life will last when those old-timers who hate baby-rapers get through with him? XD

Nota bene: You know, when someone fraudulently represents himself to the public as having

They used to stone false prophets. Sometimes I think we should resume that practice.

Oh, I think his being raped to death after his bunkies decide he's the prison wife will more than cover it.

I think that is much less than ideal. Prison rape is a serious problem and not something that should be joked about or tolerated, not even as a means to a supposedly worthwhile end. If society deems an act worthy of punishment, violators should be punished formally by members of the community, to put them to public shame and to serve as a warning to others. Simply abandoning someone unofficially to be brutalized by other criminals is an admission that we are rendered powerless by our own system. This may happen to be true, but two wrongs don't make a right.

It doesn't much matter. Prisons are bad places, with little control in many of them over prisoner-on-prisoner violence short of murder. Rape as well as consensual sex make the men less violent, something that makes those who run those prisons, and the guards within them, a little safer. So the management tends to look the other way when it comes to such things, especially if those who are raped are themselves pedophiles and/or rapists. If that ever changes radically for the better, it'll be because the number of people in the world suddenly dropped for some reason. As long as prisons are overcrowded, that sort of violence will continue.

Now there's a candidate for ballistic lead poisoning.

I agree. Or maybe a shiv in the laundry room, which is what happened to Jeff Dahmer. His hymn-singing and religious rants are just his way of copping a plea -- if he's mentally ill, his mental illness is in the form of believing that the rest of us will buy into that excuse.

Sorry about that -- LiveJournal signed me out again. Anyway, that last comment was from me.
