To wonder why people jump to calling people who murder other prisoners heros?

in prison the prisoners have their own form of justice and punishment right or wrong.
it is ok sayin that some deplorable person is now dead but it still makes the ones who did the act murderers for which they should be punished.
trouble for every person such as Ian Huntley they kill there are lots more so where does it stop?

It's also puts the prison officers at much more risk. The killer of Huntley had killed his pregnant girlfriend. I felt so much for her family reading the comments, someone saying he should get a knighthood 😥

I agree, OP.

Murder is always horrible. I was disgusted by the celebrations by some people of the murder of Ian Huntley a few months ago.

He was never going to get out of prison. A life sentence IS the punishment - and I totally support his incarceration - I'm not an apologist for him. The prison murder was pure brutality by nasty people and should not be praised by anyone.

Also, being less high-minded, frankly sitting in prison for years on end, or even for the rest of your life, is a much more horrific prospect than dying.

like a real life squid games
free entertainment and reduce prison populations and reoffending

@Femalemachinest

I know, it's disgusting. I cannot comprehend how so many people just do not care about these people's prior victims.

I understand taking pleasure in the murder of someone who committed atrocities, I can even understand people saying "well done" to the killers for this one specific crime.

But to consider them brilliant people as a whole is so shockingly disrespectful to their other victims. If the people making these comments are to be consistent, they should also be calling for the deaths of the murderers due to the previous awful crimes they have committed.

@OnlyMabelInTheBuilding

Nobody is saying that their deaths should be mourned. Only that it's ignorant and insensitive to champion their murderers, when these people have raped and murdered other, completely innocent, people.

Splendid! Let's allow all the nonces etc to get murdered by these brave, brave heroes, who must have been sentenced to a crime they didn't commit.
However, the next day these brave heroes turn on the prison officers, who are there to keep these heroes safe. What then?

Honestly, some of you are living out some fucked up murder porn fantasies and you are all fucking weird.

They are not heroes. I don't agree with the death penalty. But if we were to have the death penalty, then it would need to be carried out as humanely as possible. Not some lags stabbing a fellow lag with homemade daggers.

I agree that people who think this are not very intelligent.

It does worry me that prisons seem to be getting more and more violent. While few of us would shed tears over any of those recently murdered in prison, with the prison population growing and more whole life and very long minimum terms being handed down - and I don’t disagree with that at all - there are more and more inmates with nothing to lose, in increasingly stressful and dangerous environments.

I don’t believe in the death penalty but I admit to thinking maybe those with whole life terms could be put in induced comas … I don’t really think that, but I don’t know what th solution is longer term except massive investment in the judicial and prison systems, which won’t happen, or a massive reduction in male violence and criminality, which won’t happen either.

They’re not heroes, but however the vile monsters meet their end, it’s a bonus for humanity. Nothing to mourn there.

There's a grey area that isn't heroic but has a purpose. The prisoners have made choices that led to imprisonment. They know that committing muder whilst in prison is going to make their prison stay longer. They aren't heros, but they're in a grey area where they can do things others can't because the cost to them is less. It's not vigilante in the case of someone imprisoned for their crimes killed by other criminals. But for me the reason I'm not comfortable with it is because we know people get wrongly convicted on occasion. I have no interest at all in trying to rehabilitate people who've hurt chosen, I'm not that good of a soul, but I do want this to be left to the professionals and experts to decide.

I’d do it as long as I was paid 👍

Who would want to watch that? Possibly the sort of people who would end up playing the game at some point anyway.

This would be a good tv show 😂😬

Which one of them did. He stabbed a detective who went there to interview him.

It's never going to be a good thing when people like to pick and choose when to be pro violence.

These "heroes" are the ones killing the male members of your family and raping your female friends. If youre OK with that then something is very wrong

I am never sad when I hear about child murderers/rapists being killed in prison. One less of the sick bastards in the world.

Agree 100% OP. The guy that killed Ian Huntley for example had killed several people and one of them was pregnant. That was the only reason he had access to Huntley. For people to be cheering and saying he’s so wonderful is an insult to his victims.

All three are murderers. One murdered an old lady. Definitely shouldn't have sentences reduced.

I'm not going to celebrate another murder, but equally I'm not going to feel bad that a child murderer is dead.

I do think it's ghoulish to crow about it.

I don't see it as a win win at all. People should not be getting attacked/killed in prisons. If they can do that to fellow inmates, they can do it to staff.

Ultimately I think it’s because people are a bit thick.

It’s a win win, awful disgusting child killer is murdered and awful disgusting murderers that were already in jail for being murderers get more jail time and will never ever get out.

I don't care if a child killer gets terminated in prison as I would like capital punishment for them but I definitely don't think the killers are heros or should be released etc. They are also extremely violent people who take the law into their own hands.
