Ian Watkins Dead

I always wonder why some women are attracted to vile, abusive, violent murderers, and pedophiles? Baffling.

Not at all. We're not mind readers. It's more difficult to understand the intention when it's written, without verbal nuance to back up intended meaning.
Some people get mixed up with the subject matter and this is probably what many thought/presumed you had done.

If I was you I would've just explained that it was meant sarcastically......it's not hard to clear things up. It "on you" for not being very nice and trying to demean people for something that wasn't obvious for many many people. (Neither of my parents are English so we weren't brought with sarcasm).

I'm certainly not against the death penalty.

My rhoughts exactly, I hope that the girls visiting him are kept an eye on aswell, because I would be deeply concerned if any of them have children or have them in the future as they were so enamoured with such a sick, twisted,evil paedophile.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke. Good fucking riddance.

I’m guessing though that there’s probably many many incidences of debt between prisoners which build up sometimes. And I assume the debtors are probably threatened, intimidated, beaten, but I can’t imagine someone being killed because of it. I would think more likely killed for their crime than for an unpaid debt.

A lot of people who claim to be against the Death penalty are actually not being honest as this thread shows. We all have a case where the death penalty would fill us with an absolute sense of glee and relief. I dont mourn this man and think that the death penalty should be offered to convicts on demand as assisted dying is to the general population.

The poor babies mothers presented them to him for abuse didn't they? They are also in prison?

Who is this mysterious “they” that all have VPUs? Because it’s not HMP. Many prisons run on what we call a “fully integrated regime”. Meaning all, but the extremely vulnerable, are housed together and follow the same regime together regardless of offence. The only common denominator is their category status.

The prison in question here has run in this way for a long time, with a very small number of prisoners on any kind of VP status. If they require a VP unit and it’s appropriate then they’d generally be shipped out to another cat A jail that has a VP wing.

Do you want to share where you’re getting your info from that you can confidently say it’s bollocks that uk prisons often run an integrated regime? I mean, I can go back and tell them LiveLoveLaughWhatever says we’re doing it all wrong if you like? 😅

They could do the right thing and sign over any rights/money/assets to child abuse charities though rather than profit from him.

Yes sorry - I completely misread you initially and have since realized and acknowledged that - my bad.

Let's go all the way and have the death penalty, or, if we don't want that, let's not let our prisoners kill each other.

That our prisons are in the prisoners' control is not something to celebrate.

I loathed the man and find his crimes so abhorrent I can barely think about them. It's still not right that we allow this to happen in our prisons and that people think it's great news that it did.

She had evidence of previous crimes. Had they acted on her repeated reports rather than by dismissing her as a bitter headcase ex/fan, he should have already been in prison with no career long before additional crimes were committed.

Good.

Good riddance to bad fucking rubbish !

He'd shown the woman who reported him child sexual abuse images, so they could have got him on possession/possibly distribution? of said images.

I’m fairly sure I read in the sentencing remarks at the time that the children will have been told when they are old enough. Horrific as it is they’re going to wonder why they don’t live with their mums and children have a right to know their past of course. I hope they are given the support they’ll need

Exactly this.

Oh don't be absurd. They are both desperately trying to outdo each other and have the last word. It's so tedious.

Good, I will sleep well tonight.

Huh?

I’m speculating about the reason why he got his throat cut, not querying his conviction.

Good, I hope he died in agony. I read those sentencing remarks with my 10 month baby boy in my arms and nearly vomited.

I hope those 2 mothers were sterilised and that the poor baby boy and baby girl were both raised by loving families. My heart breaks for them, they deserved so much better.

I’m unashamedly happy he’s dead. It doesn’t matter to me the reason he’s been killed, the cunt is dead. There’s a special place in hell for the mothers who offered up their precious babies to be abused by him. Those women who were supposed to love and protect their children to the ends of the earth. May they meet a similar fate…
