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.

Why don’t you get a job at his prison and shank him?

Killing someone, however heinous they are, can leave a trauma. Why are you relying on strangers to kill him?

Do you agree with the principle that jails should be safe?

Or are you happy to see a system where the state can put people into a bear pit where they can and will be assaulted and killed?

Regardless of whether jails actually are safe at the moment. And regardless of whether I've applied for a job as a prison warden...

That's what I said. You can't shame me into not wanting him to suffer.

We are talking about Ian Huntley FGS.
He is a child killer there is no doubt about it.
Read the title of the thread. We aren't talking about anyone else and we haven't heard about attacks on the people you mentioned.
Start a thread about them if you feel you need to. This is about the Soham killer.🙄

They were all 'guilty' people who were found to be innocent after many years in prison . You would have been crowing if they had been attacked. But you really don't have the capacity to understand.

If we treated such scum properly and strung them up by the neck then we wouldn’t have the expense of trying to stop them shanking each other. I hope he dies frightened.

I remember the details of his case well. I speak in relation to him alone and not other prisoners in general when I say that I hope he is in fear and suffering and in terrible pain - he doesn’t deserve any compassion.

Not all of us sadly.

Considering the kind of prison Ian Huntley is in, what crimes do you think the man who attacked him was in for? Another rapist, peodophile, DV perpetrator or murderer? No thanks, I don't want someone like that let out early.

@loislovesstewie I get what you mean. There was a man who was recently released after being falsely convicted of murder, he spent 38 years in prison. If he'd been murdered in prison before his sentence was quashed and he was discovered to be innocent, I'm sure some people would have been fine with it!

Because we are commanded to forgive. The person who has wronged us doesn't need to ask for it, we just have to do it. Some people struggle with forgiveness (I'm very good at holding grudges) but it's got easier as I've got older. Although I'd find it very hard to forgive anyone if they ever hurt my DS.
Purgatory doesn't exist in my belief system, thank goodness. There's some beliefs around it that I've never got my head around.

Pity about the NHS time and effort being used up on someone like that, and the poor staff who have to deal with it.

Yes, and if OP had her way, and we all resorted to vigilante justice the NHS would be even busier.

@MrsTerryPratchett and @Simonjt Agree whole heartedly with both of you.

I saw Netflix documentary about the crimes of Robert Black who murdered those 4 little girls and possibly more . The contribution from Andy Carey, Jennifer’s dad was so raw and grief stricken I cried and I’m a tough old boot . I’ve never wanted the death penalty more , the same for this Soham pos aswell .

If Huntley developed a terminal disease and died a long painful death I couldn't care less. However I don't think vigilante violence in our prisons is ever acceptable and it certainly shouldn't be applauded.

Yes this is true, God does tell us to forgive. But really, that’s for our own sake more than the person we don't want to forgive.

I've talked on other threads about the CSA my DSis and I went through as a child. I've been able to forgive my abusive F and the others who hurt me, though it took some years and tonnes of therapy (as well as prayer) to get to that point.

When I think about it, who actually would be hurt by my not forgiving them? Only me, definitely not them, as they’re all dead, apart from my DB, who was victim as well as perpetrator.

My DM, by contrast, hasn't yet been able to forgive. But in her case, my F lied to her throughout the whole time the abuse was happening. So I get where she’s coming from, especially as a Mum to 2 DDs.

And, as a Mum to DDs, I also understand the anger against Ian Huntley, and the rejoicing at him being attacked. What he did to those 2 girls was truly horrific. But do you really think it helps their families to come to terms with their loss? I suspect probably not.

According to the Daily Mail, this is the delightful individual who did this:

I think it's safe to say someone who raped and strangled a pregnant woman to death during a week long multi-murder rampage probably wasn't having a go at IH out of some noble sense of justice...

I suspected this was the case. It's simply one psychopath attacking another, both of whom are serving whole life terms. Nothing to do with the girls Hultley killed or their families.

The one thing wrong with all this is all the media attention.

What enrages me is that these foul murderers like Ian Huntley, Levi Bellfield and Anthony Russell are alive, at all. When the evidence is absolute bomb proof then they should be swiftly executed on the same day they're found guilty. Not a single more penny or second of anyone's time wasted on them. Just destroyed like you would a rabid dog. Job done.

Keeping them alive is an utter waste of our money. It costs millions. That money could and should be spent in far better ways.

Oh well, you fly with the crows you get shot with the crows, as my granny used to say.

im not normally in favour of revenge attacks by other equally dangerous individuals, but when it comes to him, i think how utterly terrified the second of two little girls must have been, knowing her friend had been killed, and I give not one hoot what happens to him.

This is a horrible thread. All the jeering and clapping.

I know he’s a monster but nobody should be taking delight in this attack.

the prisoner who attacked him should be let out early

You think this man should be let out early? A man who murdered a pregnant woman?

Right now I don't give a fuck about Huntley. But I feel so sorry for Holly and Jessica's parents tonight, and also Julie Williams, her son David Williams and Nicole McGregor's families. This must be very hard for them and will bring up a lot of trauma. They are the ones in my thoughts.

He was probably bored. And I don't mean that flippantly. Experiments on rats have shown that they would rather feel pain than be bored.

This thread brings up some very interesting moral questions.

I'm torn. On the one hand, he's got what he deserves. On the other, I find it very hard to take pleasure in violence against anyone, since it's just not in my nature to be OK with violence. I certainly don't feel sorry for him, but I'm not celebrating or rejoicing, either.

I feel a kind of nothingness. Not because I'm not horrified by his crimes - obviously, they were more repugnant than words can say. Maybe I feel this nothingness/emptiness because none of this violence against him brings back Holly and Jessica. They're gone; he did something that can never be undone. Tonight I am feeling very sad that they never got to grow up. Such a complete and utter tragedy.

And WHY? Why did he do it? It makes NO sense. Let's say that you're just someone who wants to kill, for the sake of it. Hard to imagine, but I guess that's what murderers want. Why would you do something so irrevocable and so permanent, just to temporarily scratch an itch? And even if you have zero empathy, why risk life inside? Even if you adjust for the fact of murderers being these sick, twisted people with no empathy, going ahead and killing people still makes no sense whatsoever.

I really, really hope that there is a heaven and I hope that Holly and Jessica are having the time of their lives up there.

And I hope that IH goes to hell when his time comes.
