Soham Monster attacked in Jail.

[Netcurtainnelly]

I hate saying his name.
The vile creature who killed Holly and Jessica in 2002. Has been seriously assaulted in prison.

It isn’t support.

No one is saying ‘ah, he’s a good guy, he didn’t deserve that.’ But if you take delight in violence and torture and brutality and abuse then you are closer to Huntley than you might care to think you are. Think about it.

Escalated violence in the male prison estate is not a new phenomenon. There's a really easy way to avoid it.

I don’t think people think ‘ooh if I go to prison I’ll probably be set on by a load of thugs with boiling water and sugar; I’d best not hurt that wee girl’

Absolutely. The country's far too soft. The justice system is in a terrible state.
You very rarely hear a sentence today that you think is long enough or tough enough.

You get everything you deserve if your attacked in prison. If you don't like it don't go killing young children or babies.

The professional staff will do what they need to do and no more, they treat dreadful heinous people every day without knowing, at least they can prepare themselves mentally and physically for the job they are proud of. I wouldn't want to be a bed manager or head of security, what a nightmare if they have to juggle beds about for everyone's safety.

I'm making the point which you seem to be unable to grasp, that there are many cases of people being exonerated of the crime they were imprisoned for. If the crime is seen as being particularly heinous then they are at risk of violence in prison. I'm sure many people who are commenting here that they agree with vigilantes carrying out proper punishment would say the same in those circumstances. So an innocent person could be killed or seriously injured because you are happy with vigilantism. I'm making a general point that it's wrong as innocent people will suffer.

I'm sure they don't - but when it inevitably happens, it shouldn't come as a surprise. He made a decision and now he lives with the repeated consequences.

Theresca massive difference in feeling karmas has visited him and not caring than going out and doing what he's done.

I can promise you I will never do what he has done or ever have.
That puts me extremely far apart from him , not even close.
Nice try.
Did you ever tell us how you'd feel if it was your child by the way?

Your missing the point he was targeted because of who he was was. Hes a child killer FGS and he was found guilty.

You will never stop attacks like this on people like him in prison.

Who are you referring to?

Agreed. It's disturbing. Basically they are condoning violent assault.

Is it nice up there in your ivory tower?

I'm making the point that people being glad he has been attacked are the same people who would be happy if another person who was subsequently found to be innocent had been attacked. The same comments would be made. The same name calling, the same calls for extreme punishment, or execution.
There were calls for the Birmingham 6, the Guildford 4 to be executed. There are numerous people who have been reviled in the press and now in the days of the internet on social media who are actually innocent of the crime. The 'worse' the crime is perceived to be, the more people demand extreme punishment. If they are then found to be innocent those people should consider themselves lucky that they weren't able to carry through that punishment.
We have laws in this country, we should not be exacting revenge. Revenge isn't punishment.

I read about that earlier.

I don't give two hoots about him but, in general, inmates should not be attacked in prison. It happens all too often, there are not enough prison officers or those on duty are insufficiently vigilant/don't care. They are paid to care and should keep order.

And the appropriate laws in this country will be applied to those in prison who attacked him.

Nobody cares about him and that's what the thread is about here. The Soham Monster.

You won't change people's opinions.
I've seen people on other social media posts saying they are celebrating with a bottle of wine and that the prisoner who attacked him should be let out early.

You'll be very much in the minority with your opinion but you do you.

Shouldn't have been allowed to live until now anyway.

I'm glad I do hold my views thank you. I hope I'm not vicious.
I hope people posting here are never subject to extra judicial punishment or found guilty of a crime they didn't commit. Or perhaps it would be karma if that happened.

I wouldn’t actively clap and cheer. But it’s hard to give a shit tbf.

I don’t think I need to be in an ivory tower to be uneasy about celebrations or particularly nasty violence. I am far from a perfect person but I don’t celebrate brutality - sorry.

What do you mean?

Life in prison is nowhere near enough of a punishment for this vile creature or any other vile creature who is a child murderer.
Hope he survives and spends the rest of his life in pain.

Exactly. My sympathy for this man sits at precisely zero - I can't get upset at the fact he's been attacked. Would be ideal if there was no violence in prison, but twas always thus for men who murder children and I'm sure it will continue.

I agree. Threads like this just encourage the absolute worst kind of "virtue" signalling.

Do we know that was why he was attacked. Some other prisoner may have just wanted to be seen as the one to fear . Imagine if for example it was Levi bellfield who attacked him clearly he’s no better .
