I see Ian Huntley Has Been Battered. on 17:40 - Feb 26 by MattinLondon
That’s where I’m at. I have zero sympathy for him but prisons or such places should be safe for inmates.
That about sums up my thoughts as well.
No sympathy for Huntley, but a bit of a 'there but for the grace of God...' thought.
You read and hear about some of the catastrophic miscarriages of justice over the years and one likes to think that even if those people shouldn't be behind bars, they're safe and protected by the system.

Absolutely, and especially if one believes in the rule of law.
Indeed, reading the comments on this thread, I did wonder if I had mistakenly clicked on the comments section of the Mailonline. It's certainly no lefty bumfest.

I know where everyone is coming from here and totally understand but in this case I'm glad it happened. He's now not expected to wake up again . That'll do me.

I'm not sure loathing of bottom-feeding scumbags is necessarily a left/right issue.
Death, in any form, is better than he probably deserves.

I already had him marked down as a potential man to get rid of a body should I need it.
I always thought a sure way of getting rid of a body was pigs. According to the internet that’s a myth:
Indigestible Remains: Pigs cannot digest human hair and typically leave behind teeth, although the teeth themselves can be recovered post-digestion from their faeces.
Forensic Evidence: Remains that are left behind can still be used for identification via forensic odontology and DNA analysis.
Logistics: Disposing of a body requires a large number of hungry pigs, and the logistics of handling a large number of potentially aggressive animals and ensuring thorough consumption make it a complex and risky method for avoiding detection.
Detection: Forensic studies have shown that even clandestine graves can be detected using geophysical techniques, and remains found on a pig farm have led to arrests in real cases
Rethink required.
As for that piece of filth in the title line, I hope he roasts in hell for what he did. If there is such a thing.
Is another inmate doing him a suitable form of justice? No, not really. It doesn’t sit right in terms of rule of law. So to completely contradict myself, quite frankly in this instance I don’t care. That’s not a man, that’s a bit of dirt. A stain to be wiped away.
Would have liked to have seen that thing hanged? Yes. Slowly. But could I vote for capital punishment if I was an MP or even in a referendum? No. I couldn’t and wouldn’t. Talk about a contradiction.

I’m not so sure. Loathing them probably isn’t, but there tends to be a political spilt in opinion on how prisoners are treated. Righties tend to want harsher terms, conditions and treatment. That doesn’t precisely map on to this incident, but I wouldn’t be surprised if those of a rightward bent would first see this as justified retribution rather than consider the aspect of safety for inmates. That seems to be how it’s playing out, but not exactly as he’s such a vile person he seems to be cutting across the normal divides on here more than normal.

It's interesting to read that a chap (who, incidentally, is imprisoned for three murders and a rape) was arrested in connection with the attack, but nobody has been charged so far.
One would have thought that, in a prison, it would be fairly easy to work out who'd battered someone with an iron bar.

No-one in their right mind can feel sympathy for him. Nevertheless this shouldn't be possible in a highly monitored environment.
Prisons are woefully understaffed. I know a few who have worked for the prison service and the stories they’ve told me were wild. One officer per wing etc. with lots of pinch points and vulnerable areas/situations throughout the day.
Part of their training/policy is, if all hell breaks loose is to get back to safety and ‘wait it out’

Yeah, you’d think they’d know what went on. I assume there’ll be a big compensation payout now as well.
Hard to feel anything for that monster, but lawless prisons aren’t great either.

It has the worrying feel of an incident that won't be subject to too much investigation.
Ideally whoever did it should be facing criminal charges, even if they are already subject to a whole-life term (as is the prime suspect), and whichever members of staff dropped the ball from a surveillance/protection point of view should, at the very least, be looking at gross negligence manslaughter.
Have absolutely zero sympathy for him. He is evil beyond words for what he did. But, I can’t condone violence against him and and everyone should be safe in prison, regardless. He should serve his time and never be allowed out The chap who apparently done this seems a nasty piece of work Nick Pope, our ex and Newcastle’s goalie, was in the same class as Holly and Jessica

Sometimes there are crimes where serving time just isn't enough. To be honest the bloke who did it is in that category himself.

People can loathe all they like, but in my case I support neither judicial killings nor non-judicial killings.
Putting it another way, in my view it is inconsistent to oppose the death penalty or support the rule of law and at the same time support vigilantism.
I would also tend to think my view would tend to be shared more by people on the left than people on the right.
Indeed, as vile as Huntley is we have had miscarriages of justice before, and when those convicted are given the death penalty there is literally no return if/when errors are made.
I won't shed any tears for Huntley without cheering on his killing.

These were my thoughts.
A custodial sentence is totally undermined if the environment is lawless and effectively a proxy death sentence carried out by another serious criminal.
I'm not questioning the lack of empathy on this thread though, to be clear.

I’m happy to cheer that thing’s death. It’s not a man so should not have a name. Every record of it should be removed from the records. You flush away a turd. That’s what should happen to that.
My thought and sympathies lie purely with the victims and their families who are doomed to a life sentence.
Yes there can be miscarriages of justice but there wasn’t in this case. Nor most others. I cannot support capital punishment but nor can I support paying for these creatures to live. They or their relations should pay to sustain life if they wish to.
Emotive, harsh and impractical? Yes, but it’s just how I feel. I guess that it why state policy has to be divorced from personal feelings.
