The ones already convicted of murder is going to be doing 40 minimum in total if he gets convicted of this. Imprisoned from 22 to into his 60s if not longer. He is going to be one dangerous individual as he literally has nothing to lose by killing anyone now, including prison officers or fellow inmates. The other guy is a violent sexual deviant so anything added onto his sentence is in the public interest. He'll get life if convicted so that means a parole board will have to enable his release as apposed to serving his sentence then released. So in the scheme of things there are positives all round but nobody should glorify what they did. Just violent criminals who have been excluded from society for their actions resolving their disputes in the only way they know how.
Best just to let them become the insignificant stain on the human race that they are and forget about them and let them live out their lives in confinement.

If convicted of murder the one already convicted of murder will get a whole life sentence.

Horrific but predictable. It was obvious these were exactly the kinds of people they’d be.

I suppose one very small positive is they will now have increased sentences over and above the inadequate ones they previously received and the public will be protected for longer.

Win-win?

Stop fucking picking apart how I've worded that I'm glad a fellow inmate murdered a baby rapist.

I'm sure the fellow inmate is an abhorrent arsehole worthy of death himself. But for this particular act of his measly life- he's a hero.

It's a bit like the feminism board. They're all oh so worried about murdering women being mixed with transwomen.

Try getting your facts right. They are worried about MALE RAPISTS being housed with women, many who are the victims of rape, domestic violence and abuse.

Those apt to lionise IW’s disgusting (alleged) murderers may very well find it equally unproblematic when a female prisoner on the women’s estate is attacked/raped/murdered by an Isla Bryson type. Because, well, some of them have committed terrible offences so any trans woman attacking them “deserves a drink, mate”.

Nor do murderers or rapists.

My DH told me that over 200,000 people on Spotify still listen to or subscribe to Lost Prophets. I find that baffling and disturbing in equal measure. 😵‍💫

He was paying other inmates to protect him...?! Thats appalling. Prisons are so corrupt, someone like him should not have access to money or a phone.... well he got his just deserts.

The way it works is that the one wanting protection has someone on the outside pay someone connected to the goons protecting him. They use it to buy drugs, or whatever, which are smuggled into the prison.

KillMeMounjaro · 15/10/2025 20:19

Um… you have cut and pasted my exact post from a few days ago??

Guess I’ll take that as a compliment 🤨

SparklyBiscuit · 16/10/2025 05:35

I'm so glad I'm so sorry for his victims just babies and very young children at the time I hope they got the right treatment therapy and recovered from their abuse. This should have happened to ian watkins many years ago he was child abuser and pedophilie these women as well that worshipped him and let him abuse their children also need to be dealt with. Children and babies are really so innocent. I'm so glad he can no longer harm another child or babies but they are many other males and females are like him in 2025

Those woman who offered up their innocent children were already released from prison… One is back in though for breaching the terms of her licence. Doesn’t seem remotely long enough, when you think of the long term trauma the children they birthed will suffer.

I think the OP (and a few others) have made it clear it was sarcasm now though! Smile

Yes, they did :)
My initial comment was made having just read the first post (and none of the others)

How do you know that?
