He is the one that cardinal law ...bounced...

Ummm, Bernie bounced more than one, including a priest that tried to "do the right thing" and start to clean up the mess.

And he [Bernard Cardinal Law] didn't bounce quite a few, too.

Maybe he should have tried to bounce them out of the priesthood, not just in to another diocese.

In lieu of execution by the state of Massachussetts this will just have to do. A convict did what "the state" was too gutless to do.

Our legal establishment failed us so a scorned and lowly jailbird had to set it right. A lowly jailbird was given the task of balancing the scales of justice

I only hope his victims feel a little better now that this "priest" has gone on to his eternal reward..........

It helps them to see justice finally rendered. This ghoul ruined the lives of too many who trusted him. Traumatized too many.

I never said that it was tough on crime. It was intended to be malicious.

It is morally acceptable to hate criminals.

"He is the one that cardinal law and the catholic church higher up bounced around the country due to his tendency to rape small boys"

I wonder how many of his enablers will attend his funeral. I'm sure he was given the Last Rites even if he was dead, and he'll probably get a Catholic burial...the creep!

Why? He's just as dead either way and this way is much cheaper. He probably asked for it by trying to do to a fellow prisoner what he had been doing to young boys.

Why ? Because the convicts are as likely to rape and sodomize you as him. When the prison culture is unopposed it spreads. It becomes cool. People even joke about it and then it becomes an expected rite of passage. The weak and innocent suffer as much as the weak and guilty.

For example you could be protesting at a rally in any one of hundreds of American cities and find yourself locked up among animals. Who will care what happens to you if prison justice is expected, tolerated, or cheered ?

Your temporary residence may hate whites, conservatives, middle class, etc. and take it out on anyone they perceive to fit that class.

Golly does the man look evil.

Jesus said it is better not to be born, than to hurt an innocant child.

This was neither. It was merely a murder committed in prison. Nothing more, nothing less. To impart some kind of political or moral meaning to this incident is to see that which is not there.

Depends if the prison killer(s ) had a particular motive.

he didn't get a death sentence.

The problem in a nutshell.

Rectified.

You mean that the prisoners, who generally hate pedophiles the worst because so many of them were preyed upon as kids don't even care that he may have been a misunderstood gay man trying to come out of the closet?

Maybe we should lobby for priests to be allowed to marry little boys and that would solve the problem.

</bitter sarcasm>

I hope the perpetrator is caught and prosecuted. Who will they determine they have the "right" to kill next?

I think a fitting punishment for the perpetrator would be to reprimand him and then quietly transfer him to another prison.

>So murderers will have their sentence reduced by killing non-violent offenders in jail for tax fraud or marijuana cultivation, and be back on the streets sooner based on their proficiency at murdering?
>>That isn't "tough on crime." It's STUPID!

If every felon
had their head chopped off at their
conviction, problems

like prison murders --
and oh so many others! --
would just disappear!
