Disgusting, poor prison officers.

What to do with scum like this?

As if it wasn't bad enough about the bombing he planned, he now wants to attack staff?
Do we need him?

Unfortunately, he isn't serving a whole life sentence, so we have to try and rehabilitate him. I think we'd have more success teaching my cat to recite rhyming couplets in Swahili, but its what we have to do, because one day the piece of shit will come out of prison and no doubt hurt someone else. I'd still chop his hands off. Those poor officers.

@PassingStranger What do you mean when you say "do we need him"?

are you saying he shouldn't be alive because he serves no useful function you can identify?

or are you saying he shouldn't be in this country?

it's a moot question, I guess, because I disagree with both those explanations.

but perhaps you have another interpretation that I've not thought of?

this is not to say that what he did wasn't wicked, it was. It's just questioning where you think he should be, if your mythical "we" don't need him.

Piece of shit. Put him in gen pop and see how he survives

I should hope that the attacks outlined in the report would mean that he'll never be released.

I know of someone who attacked a child and was released after a short sentence. He attacked a disabled woman after being released. He's now in a facility for the criminally insane for life.

Either the assailant here knew what he was doing and is simply evil or he's insane.

I understand how they create the weapons.

I don't understand the access to hot oil. Was he working in a kitchen. Was it in a kettle?

Being a prison officer must be one of the hardest and least appreciated jobs ever. Such a difficult job.

ScrewedByFunding · 12/04/2025 20:08

Just to confirm, it's the bombers brother that did this. Evil the pair of them. What must their family think?

What "particular facility" are you referring to? Frankland? Or the Separation Centre?

If prisoners are in that particular facility, it's because they're beyond rehabilitation. Give them a bed and a toilet in a cell. That's enough.

Why was he around hot oil? Surely that's a massive potential risk to harm others - staff or other prisoners.

How he did he manage to create those weapons and use them?

Prisoners spend an awful lot of time and effort creating weapons. Prison staff spend an awful lot of time trying to stop them.

This piece of shit hurt three people who were just doing their jobs. Frankly, I'd cut his fucking hands off.

MissAmbrosia · 12/04/2025 20:01

Do you think these things don't happen all the time? That prisoners attack dont staff and each other? This is just more fucking dog-whistle racist crap.

Why does he want to be a nasty bastard?

Are you asking why a violent criminal wants to be nasty?
Its because he's a vile thug with a screw loose.

AbsolutelyZero · 12/04/2025 19:59

It’s horrendous.

I’m totally against capital punishment but I do wonder what the people like him actually contribute to humanity. A total waste of oxygen.
