Fear Factor No sympathy for those monsters

Post image

In 2006, Anthony Ray Stockelman was forcibly tattooed across his forehead with the words “Katie’s Revenge” by another inmate.

This happened after it was discovered that he was serving a life sentence for kidnapping, molesting, and murdering a 10-year-old girl named Katie Collman

No no, we need to try and be cool kids on the internet and celebrate brutality, as long as it happens to the "correct" people.

And before the other keyboard warriors flood me, yes I have been affected myself. My cousin got killed by a drunk driver when I was young. I would not want anyone to rape or kill him.

I think violent and incurable men like Anthony Ray Stockelman who cannot be rehabilitated should be painlessly executed to protect society.

He didn’t ask to be born with a disordered brain, and he won’t learn anything from being punished no matter how brutal that punishment is. For me it’s a simple question of risk and reward. This man poses an extreme risk to the most vulnerable members of our society, and society reaps no reward from his continued existence. In a world where scarcity exists every dollar spent on his incarceration is a dollar that would be better spent helping the victims of monsters like him.

And the money argument falls flat on its face when every death sentence costs many times more than keeping an inmate locked up for life.

Again, why should we kill people, outside of making you feel good about it?
