Convicted school shooter T.J. Lane escaped Thursday from the Allen County Correctional Institution in Lima, Ohio.

Lima Police Sgt. Andy Green told BuzzFeed News Thursday Lane escaped with 45-year-old Clifford Opperud and one other man. The third man was captured shortly after the escape. Green did not have the third man’s name.

Green did not know how the men escaped from the prison. Lima police received word of the escapes about 8 p.m. CDT, though Green didn’t know exactly when the men actually left the prison.

The Lima Police Department, the Allen County Sheriff’s Department, and the Ohio Highway Patrol were all out searching for the escapees. Green said both Lima and Allen County had mobilized their SWAT teams, and multiple police dogs were aiding in the search.

1. To escape such a remote prison is surprising.

The prison itself has several layers of road and fence perimeter with armed guards on patrol in trucks 24/7. So, this escape may of been through a door/exit...also with several layers of gates and check points...I hope we learn the details of the escape...fascinating.

Oh, the dogs will find them as the country is mostly vast fields and open nothingness. Unless, an escape vehicle is in the mix....

22. It's highly likely that the third escapee, who was caught, will

reveal how they got out.

[FarPoint]

30. I was thinking the same thing.

I didn't realize there were 3 escapee's at first...This is their best leverage.

I know now as of this morning that thankfully, all have been captured.

[jberryhill]

28. I got out of Wolfenstein Castle

6. "ACLU bullshit"

[FrodosPet]

9. Some people make you want to break out the toolbox

[former9thward]

13. So you favor torture...

Not surprising really...

[FrodosPet]

16. Intellectually, I do not favor torture

Emotionally, when you see something like this, and try to imagine what these families have been through, and will continue to go through, then yes, I get frustrated when a smug little murdering asshole has zero remorse and further injures these families.

I most definitely want him caught and stuck in solitary confinement so he cannot even hurt other prisoners. If that makes him flip out and start bashing his head against a wall, well, life sucks when you kill kids.

[candelista]

46. I guess you backtracked on your ugly pro-torture post.

Good.

[FrodosPet]

47. Like I said, it was my emotional reaction, not one I actually support in practice.

That's why it is more important to use our heads than our emotions in decision making.

In any case, they need to recapture and lock up that piece of sociopathic dung in isolation for the rest of his life, and bury him in a landfill when time and nature take its course.

[candelista]

48. Why don't you just delete it?

That way, you won't be inflicting your repulsive emotional sentiments on anyone else.

[JI7]

51. your reaction to the poster comes off even worse

[candelista]

54. That's your opinion.

I guess you must agree with the poster.

[former9thward]

58. There is no long term solitary confinement anymore.

Prison rights groups have ended that with various lawsuits. So he will always be able to hurt other prisoners and of course guards no matter where he is at.

I favor the death penalty in certain cases. Many do not. But this is what you get when you do not favor it.

[FrodosPet]

59. I guess I got bad info from watching "Orange Is The New Black"

And Wikipedia is wrong, as usual

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitary_confinement#Solitary_confinement_in_the_United_States

In the US Federal Prison system, solitary confinement is known as the Special Housing Unit (SHU), pronounced like "shoe". California's prison system also uses the abbreviation SHU, but it stands for Security Housing Units. In other states, it is known as the Special Management Unit (SMU).

Current estimates of the number of inmates held in solitary confinement are difficult to determine, though generally the minimum held at any given time has been determined to be 20,000, with estimates as high as 80,000.

The inmate held in solitary confinement for the longest time in U.S. federal prison is Thomas Silverstein, in solitary since 1983. He now resides in ADX Florence federal penitentiary in Colorado.

The inmate held in solitary confinement for the longest time in the United States is Albert Woodfox, the last of the Angola Three, in solitary in Louisiana State Penitentiary since 1972. A May 2013 report on California's Pelican Bay State Prison in Mother Jones magazine also cites one inmate there who "recently marked his 40th year in solitary".

Same thing but different name?

[former9thward]

60. You seem to think long term solitary is routine.

It is not. Yes, you can find a few exceptions but generally it has been very limited by lawsuits. Those 20,000 to 80,000 you cite are not in long term solitary. The inmate in this thread was not in solitary. If you want to fantasize then go head. Reality will not stop you.

[Reter]

62. It's kind of hard not wishing at least some kind of harm to this:

[former9thward]

63. But people are horrified when some people behind 9/11 were tortured.

Interesting set of priorities.

[former9thward]

14. There are other sites you may like more then.

[heaven05]

44. who in the hell are you?

I could say the same for you.

[former9thward]

57. The post I was replying to was hidden.

Still want to defend it? And say anything you want to me. Your posts are entertaining to say the least.

[heaven05]

61. Doesn't make you right

or the 'hide' right. You've got your moral victory... yet you're still wrong in trying to make yourself better at someones expense when you haven't walked in their shoes. When my sister was murdered, if that clown hadn't committed suicide, I would have pulled the switch myself. Does that make me some kind of monster to be hidden and shunned? You are entertaining, just in the fact of your passing sentence without all the information being scrutinized. But you are always that way, so no surprise. Proceed.

[freshwest]

17. Whoa! I didn't remember his name. So now he's out. Didn't he threaten more killings?

[Feral Child]

34. Arrogant

little asshole. I understand your anger.

Needs to be locked up, no doubt. Can't agree he should be killed, though.

[heaven05]

45. Yeah he's a real piece of work

I hope karma catches up with him in prison. I watched the video.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. You may recall the young sociopath...

?1

Threw the finger at his victim's families, and made one of the most disgusting statements likely ever heard in a courtroom.

Honestly not gonna cry if he makes a wrong move.

[JI7]

11. i worry he will kill more people , i don't care for him

and if it does end up like the older tsarnaev brother i wont be upset.

[freshwest]

19. I thought he said he would. I can't imagine how he got loose.

[toby jo]

36. They hopped the fence.

[freshwest]

37. It sounds negligent to me. But the update says they captured him. That's good.

The story wasn't clear. They said they didn't know how he escaped, then local news said he and his pals jumped the fence.

He's a murderer, the other guy is a murderer. It seems they should have been in a facility with more than a fence, IMO.

Thanks for the info.

[deutsey]

39. Yes, I'm not easily repulsed, but what he said and did in the courtroom took me there

Despicable and vile.

[uppityperson]

4. I hope he is caught soon and here is what is really sad. I had to look up which shooting this

person did. Too many in recent times.

[Voice for Peace]

23. I had to look it up as well. And I don't recall the details of this shooting.

Too many.. I stop letting it in.
What a seriously damaged person. His father was a violent bastard too.

[ColesCountyDem]

5. Please pull a weapon on a cop. Please. n/t

[FarPoint]

7. In Ohio, a toy gun will do fine...In Beaver creek Ohio, at the local Walmart_ ..

Police shot and killed John Crawford, a 22 yyear old black male while shopping. Mr. Crawford was holding a toy gun he picked up off the store shelf while talking on his cell phone. A man by the named Ron Richie called 911 reporting an active shooter. Mr Crawford was shot immediately upon the arrival of local police.

[itsrobert]

8. A toy gun and black

You left out a key detail.

[FarPoint]

31. Oops...

My bad...never assume.

[Cali_Democrat]

15. Lane is white

Blacks are gunned down without hesitation, but cops will think twice before gunning down a white person.

That's reality.

[Capt. Obvious]

32. .

[JI7]

10. TJ Lane is one evil piece of shit, and he is a real threat also, i hope they capture him

but for those who don't know him he is young and i can see him putting on some good ole boy act in order to try to get access to more weapons and kill more innocent people.

[zonkers]

12. Who's running that prison, Dabney Coleman? WTF?

[JohnnyRingo]

18. I agree that he is a definite risk to the public.

He has absolutely nothing to lose. At this point he may be one of those who'd welcome capital punishment. I don't think he'll kill for sport, but if it helps him get further away...

I have a niece who teaches at that school in Chardon. She was there that day.

[freshwest]

20. I guess the town is on alert, right? Any guesses how this could happen - the escape, that is?

[JohnnyRingo]

21. I live about 30 miles East of Chardon.

This is the first place I've heard of it. I didn't watch the local news tonight, but I live near Youngstown. Lima is close to the Indiana border.

He can't have many friends so I fear he'll be desperate for a way out of town. Hopefully not this way. Didn't think of it unti now, but he'd be a satanic superstar if he could return to Chardon and pick up where he left off. That's a scary thought.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

24. He's been caught.

http://www.news-herald.com/general-news/20140912/update-tj-lane-in-custody-after-prison-escape

[Purveyor]

25. THIS JUST IN: T.J. Lane captured and back in custody, per CNN International.

[No Vested Interest]

27. He didn't get far.

Found in the Lima OH area.
Police had asked local citizens to not post police positions, etc. on social media.

[joshcryer]

29. 100 yards.

Sounds like an old fashioned jailbreak. Will be interesting to hear how this scum did it. Probably hid in a ditch somewhere until they found him while doing a very tight search.

[Hoppy]

33. In about a year, you will read about some sweetheart will begin writing to him...who realizes he is

just a poor misunderstood guy and they will get married.

That will touch my Irish heart.

[Feral Child]

35. I'm assuming he was min/med security

to protect him because of his youth and vulnerability. Surprising, in a way, because of his sociopathic outburst during the sentencing hearing.


He's blown that, now. He'll be sent to a max security joint now. Life will become very difficult for him there.

[strawberries]

38. I watched the video over and over again

but I can't figure out what he says before he gives the families the finger.

[alcibiades_mystery]

40. He says

"This same hand that killed them now masturbates to their memory. Fuck all of you."

That's what it sounds like to me anyway.

[Feral Child]

42. Same here.

Smug little fuck.

[strawberries]

50. oh my

what a sick child, young man whatever. They need to throw away the keys on this guy.

[jen63]

49. Yeah, he'll like Lucasville.......n/t

[steelsmith]

41. DP for him

the only way to stop this scumball

[Feral Child]

43. Very uncivilized.

I don't want my government to be in the murder business.

[liberal N proud]

52. I turned on the news this morning 5:30 AM Cleveland - the coverage was insane

It was like they had Chardon where the original crime took place on lock-down and the media hype was insane. I had to find something else to watch as I ate breakfast.

They guy was out for 6 hours and only made a 100 yards from the prison fence.

[delta17]

56. Democrats don't have to be soft on crime.

I'm sure Harry Truman would have some choice words about this psychopath. This isn't some kid who made a few mistakes, he opened fire in a cafeteria and then taunted the victim's families. He doesn't deserve anything but scorn.

On second thought, maybe he deserves 23 hour lockdown after this little stunt.

[MH1]

64. You're sounding a bit judgmental there yourself.

The guy taunted the families of his victims.

I think he probably needs to be in a maximum-security mental institution rather than a maximum security prison, but I'm not going to criticize people who write nasty stuff about him on a message board.

[candelista]

55. Two minutes' hate.

Everyone feel better now?

[NaturalHigh]

65. I'm glad they caught him.

This is why we have life without parole.
