63. Did the killer have a good motive?

What if it was just some personal motive of the killer?

Or did the killer have a "pure" motive, carrying out the death penalty against Dahmer specifically for Dahmer's crimes? Nice to know the justice system can be undermined by one of the very people who did not respect it enough to stay out of prison.

What did you have in mind? sadbear Jun 2012 #1

The general consensus is inmates don't like "short eyes" (pedophiles) TalkingDog Jun 2012 #4

That and many inmates have children of their own... Drunken Irishman Jun 2012 #6

Do we endorse this? sadbear Jun 2012 #8

I did not say I endorsed it. You asked a question. I gave a realistic answer. TalkingDog Jun 2012 #10

Good retort! demosincebirth Jun 2012 #11

Right... CoffeeCat Jun 2012 #43

Why is it that we rarely hear of child molsters being killed in prison? mulsh Jun 2012 #52

Yeah. There's no more Death Sentences ala Dahmer that are allowed to happen anymore. alphafemale Jun 2012 #21

Sorry, but he will be one of the most protected inmates in prison. My best friend is a retired teddy51 Jun 2012 #7

Many people will be disappointed by that piece of information. 2ndAmForComputers Jun 2012 #18

I agree sadbear Jun 2012 #23

funny how that didn't protect Jeffrey Dahmer HipChick Jun 2012 #22

Hope springs eternal, I see. 2ndAmForComputers Jun 2012 #25

Being realistic...he got clobbered to death with gym equipment HipChick Jun 2012 #26

Works for me! What Sandusky did is despicable, to say the least. teddy51 Jun 2012 #27

One of the pedophile priests was killed in prison too.. cwydro Jun 2012 #46

I'll wager he won't. Too egocentric. He's too important to die, especially by his own hand. TalkingDog Jun 2012 #15

Egocentric people can kill themselves too muriel_volestrangler Jun 2012 #48

I agree taught_me_patience Jun 2012 #28

The prison let Geoghan get killed. Probably facilitated it. morningfog Jun 2012 #16

Well, I hope he goes quickly due to his own health/guilt issues & not as a victim of prison violence hlthe2b Jun 2012 #13

why is RAPE okay in prison? upi402 Jun 2012 #20

Who mentioned rape? Anywhere in this thread..... TalkingDog Jun 2012 #24

I think it's pretty clear it was insinuated and/or TBF Jun 2012 #29

Where was it insinuated? panader0 Jun 2012 #31

You're skirting the taboo. Sans__Culottes Jun 2012 #34

Please explain what I'm not doing very cleverly??? panader0 Jun 2012 #36

I have nothing more to say to you. Sans__Culottes Jun 2012 #39

i read it as he'd get skanked or beaten to death, not raped... dionysus Jun 2012 #33

"Shanked" n/t Sans__Culottes Jun 2012 #35
