Sadly, his injuries are not life threatening. Better luck next time.

If we can be 'put under' in less than 10 seconds for surgery I can't see why a man needed to be writhing on the gurney for 45 minutes while being executed recently. Perhaps it is about revenge. In which case the whole death penalty in the US needs more debate about whether this should be used.
'Richard Danzinger
A co-defendant's false confession sent Richard Danzinger to prison for life; DNA exonerated him 12 years later
Richard Danzinger spent 12 years in prison for a 1988 rape and murder of which he was convicted as a result of a confession coerced by police from a co-defendant, Christopher Ochoa. While in prison for the crime he did not commit, Danzinger was severely beaten by another prisoner and suffered severe brain damage that incapacitated him for life.'

couldn't happen to a nicer chap.
Just get the rope for scum like this.

Shame it has to come to other prisoners to mete out some justice the liberal judiciary can't or won't give.
Every time an incident like this occurs, and is posted on here, the same posters offer the same reaction - which is a version of 'Great, I'd do it myself if I was there ...' or similar.

I find myself in line with the couple of posters who don't take this view, and are not delighted that this man has been assaulted.

It's not about not caring, it's not about being holier than thou - I do completely understand the feelings and motives of the majority of posters, but I can't join them.

To be pleased that someone has been violently attacked and to wish for worse, is to hold human life cheaply.

To hold life cheaply would mean I feel about life and suffering like Roy Whiting feels - and I don't want to feel like he feels, that would make me a lesser person, so I don't allow myself to rejoice in what has happened.

To be able to live in a culture that punishes people who don't value themselves, or others, then you have to be sure that you don't feel like the criminals do, because if you feel like them, then you are like them, and that is not a good way to be.
Botox AH, kill the scum.
//Shame it has to come to other prisoners to mete out some justice the liberal judiciary can't or won't give. //

You make the attacker sound like a hero when in fact he's another vicious violent brute.
AH, let us hope none of your young relatives suffer the same fate, then lets us see how your holier than thou attitude holds up ?
SparklyKid - // Botox AH, kill the scum. //

That pretty much sums up the difference in our approaches.

Another hoary old cliched response - to be expected.

Let's hope so indeed, but to date, they haven't, so that experience cannot colour my thinking. If it ever does happen, and my view alters because of it, I'll be sure to let you know.

But for now, my thinking on any subject you wish to bring up is not, and cannot, be influenced by something that has not occurred.
SK, if Sarah's parents had been left alone with him and seen him on this earth soon after her murder then I would have defended them to the hilt - but not some no mark vigilante brute meting out his own version of justice.
^ seen him off this earth

A fair point.

The simple fact is, Roy Whiting has received justice within the framework of the laws of a civilised society.

Because some people view that justice as inadequate does not alter the fact that it is still justice - it's just not violent or final enough to satisfy the wishes of some posters.

// To be pleased that someone has been violently attacked and to wish for worse, is to hold human life cheaply //

And just how cheaply did Whiting hold the life of Sarah Payne?
Andy-Hughes, I don’t feel like Roy Whiting feels.
Does anyone remember the case of Stefan Kiszko? He "confessed" to the murder of a little girl and spent years in prison. During his years there he was regularly subjected to rough justice at the hands of other prisoners. This treatment may have led to him developing schizophrenia.
I think it was advances in DNA analysis which eventually led to him being released.
If AB had been around when he was convicted the usual suspects would have been offering their services as hangman.
Baldric - // / To be pleased that someone has been violently attacked and to wish for worse, is to hold human life cheaply //

And just how cheaply did Whiting hold the life of Sarah Payne? //

Precisely my point.

He didn't care about her, or her suffering, so why would I want to obtain the same mindset as he has?

I don't.
Naomi - // Andy-Hughes, I don’t feel like Roy Whiting feels. //

And how do you know how Roy Whiting feels, and how do I know how you feel?
Andy-Hughes. We know Roy Whiting felt he wanted to do what he did to that little girl. You’ll have to take my word for it that I don’t feel like him.
This is a harrowing case from 70 years ago but shows how justice was meted out.
