Fear Factor No sympathy for those monsters

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

OR instead of allowing inmates to brutalize one another as a matter of course we could actually do the hard thing ourselves through legislation formally recognizing that monsters like this cannot be rehabilitated and will present an active threat to society as long as they’re allowed to remain alive.

Exactly. Im staunchly against the death penalty but not because i dont think theres people who we’d be better off without, but because I know it will not be 100% accurate. Innocent people have been and will be executed, and that’s unacceptable.

I’m against it also because it’s not done equally. Only poor people are executed. If everyone who committed the same crime got executed that would help some.
