Gosh, how sad. (100% sarcastic)

I really thought I had, especially with the link!

Did you reply to the wrong post before this because I don’t follow.

Mega Lolz 🥳

Did you, aye? Poor. Just poor. Embarrassed by you.

I assumed it was true too - that he was killed for non-nonce related reasons.

He would have been quite a lucrative cash cow in prison, what with all the buying favours and protection he reportedly had to do. He could more than afford it.

Prisoners generally don't have such exorbitant sensibilities that they'd be willing to cut off a large and plentiful income stream due to moral outrage at the nature of a fellow inmate's crimes. The people who get prison napalmed will have had nothing like his personal wealth.

Haven’t seen anyone on this thread denying his crimes.

That post was just saying that whoever killed him probably did it for their own reasons, rather than as vengeance for his crimes. The killer could easily be a child abuser too after all.

I’m thinking the person I was replying to actually was replying in the first place to the wrong post.

I was a huge LostProphtets fan, seeing them perform at Reading as the sun went down on the Sunday night remains one of the best acts I've ever seen.

Watkins made a big thing of being 'straight edge' so it was horrifying when he was convicted of these crimes. IIRC he blamed drugs, but that was clearly bullshit as he apparently described it all as 'lolz' when he was in prison.

It's rare for me to say I'm glad someone's dead but I can't shed a tear for this monster.

Don't think she's ok if I'm honest x

Fair enough! I misread/misunderstood the first post in the chain.

Ah I thought I was going mad

@ThatDreamyLemonBiscuit the previous stabbing of Watkins in prison was over a drug debt, or so it was reported. He paid other prisoners to keep him protected after that according to Wiki, but the first stabbing was drugs related not due to what he'd done to children.

I dont think @InterIgnis was denying Watkin's abhorrent crimes. I think she was saying that he might have been killed in prison for other reasons such as drug debt.

Yes I read it all years ago and it honestly has never quite left me. It was horrifying.

I also just can’t fathom the mothers who enabled him to do this. They didn’t just turn a blind eye they actively took part. Cunts.

The lag who did it was almost certainly another sex offender, given that Watkins would not have been on the general wing. Do you really want to celebrate sex offenders and murderers?

Yeah, but his estate will still get it!

Yes, I suspect he was killed for unpaid debts. Not an execution for his crimes outside prison. But good outcome anyway.

Feels a bit bloodless but I suppose one could celebrate it from the point of view of 'killing two birds with one stone'. One sex offender/murderer offing another means 1) one problem permanently disposed of and 2) the other one has vastly reduced his chances of being freed to roam the streets again.

Well so fucking what? I always feel sorry for the family of people like Watkins who get tainted with the crime fof the rest of their lives. Having read about the effects of the moors murders on MH sister and mother, who effectively became recluses in the aftermath, for example.
Its not the family 's fault this happened.

I think what is important that the police were told over a number of years what this man was capable off and what he wanted to do to small children

they refused to believe the woman who told them over and over in long period of time

it’s very jimmy saville. He was a famous pop star and she was a deluded fan

the babies could have not have the rape inflicted on them if the police had done their job

Hurray!!! 🙌

Don't be silly. Pointing out that Watkins may have been killed for reasons other than other scum criminals having a loathing of paedophiles does not make anyone a truther. Much as you'd love to think he was killed to avenge his victims, it's at least possible he was killed for other reasons such as owing the wrong person money and failing to pay.

OMG. I didn't know this.

There is a report on bbc website about this

grim reading

My only objection to capital punishment is that I dont trust the State to administer it.

Otherwise, there are absolutely crimes for which death is an appropriate punishment, or for which it is best to just put the person down because society should not have to tolerate them/they are too dangerousto have around.

Raping a baby meets that threshold easily.

Sometimes the garbage takes itself out.
