Preston Davey- his murderer has been given a whole life order.
AIBU to hope he has no opportunity to kill himself?
I hope he suffers death by 1000 cuts.
Im pleased for once that a sentence is appropriate for the crime.

He'll be in his cell 23hrs a day, won't be enjoying any food, and will be watching his back constantly. He's in Wakefield, there is an internal justice system there, and he's on the wrong side of it. Ian Watkins? Ian Huntley??

If someone is talking about a murderer having to live in suffering for the rest of their lives, it's relevant because this case has resulted in just that thing.

No-one is suggesting the baby deserved to die. That's a fucking ridiculous take and your level of comprehension is clearly pathetic.

The irony of accusing me of poor comprehension while not understanding the meaning of your own words. Karma implies a connection between someone’s actions and the suffering that follows. That’s the whole point of the term.
So when you described this as “karma”, you were explicitly linking what happened to that child with something his mother did years earlier. If that’s not what you meant, then perhaps “karma” wasn’t the word you were looking for.

Yes, the poor gays are the true victim in all this aren’t they.

Isn't karma a bitch? His birth mother abused and murdered someone, now she has to deal with this.

So whilst it's many years later, we can safely say that one person who did such despicable things will be suffering every day for the rest of her meaningless life.

Doesn't bring either poor victim back, but I'm not exactly crying many tears for the mother here.

Im sure that wasnt the intention but

  1. Preston was an actually baby boy who was horribly killed, it’s insulting to be so flippant
  2. His mother doesn’t deserve ‘karma’ in the form of her baby son being raped until he asphyxiated because she committed a murder as a teenager. This kind of sentiment comes across like cheering Preston’s death because it hurts the mother and gets one up on her. That’s not ok imo

Yep, someone will get to him at some point. I hope it takes years though, a quick end to this monster is too easy. I’d like him to suffer years of fear and threats. It’s the very least he deserves.

What’s the point of your thread? Are you really expecting anyone to come along and say they think it should be less?!

There are at least 3 or 4 other threads running about this - why couldn’t you contribute to one of those?

The situation is devastating and disgusting but this is turning into attention seeking, everyone having to have their two minutes about it.

Oh behave 🙄
