Why is that so hard to believe? They could have been men with young kids who wanted to teach the scumbag a lesson, you can't just assume that everyone is going around raping anything that moves in there, we don't know anything that's happening there, so unless any of us see what it's like there, we'll never know who's right.

The normal human reaction to finding out about a rapist isn't "Let's go rape him!"

I personally wouldn't do that type of vigilantism at any scenario imo, but I'm not exactly upset for the guy as he committed the two worst crimes by law and by my opinion.

Scumbag 1: aw man you hear we got a child rapist a couple of cells down from us.

Scumbag 2: aw sick dude. That's totally disgusting man. I only snuck into an old couples house at nighttime, slit their throats and took all their valuables and you only hijacked that bus full of imams and drove it off the river bank but nah this is too much for me man what has society come to?

Scumbag 1: I know Knuckles. When we were young it was just mobbing old grannies and popping Feds with a colt .22 when they come near our drug stash. This fella done much worse, then he killed the poor kid after.

Scumbag 2: that's not right man. Where was the discipline for this plonker?

Scumbag 1: well what we gunna do? We can't let filthy child rapists get away with sh*t on our ward.

Scumbag2: I know! Let's rape him.

Scumbag 1: good idea man. Was tired of shagging you anyway.

I said it in another topic and I'll say it again, punishing a sex crime with a sex crime is senseless and I honestly worry for the people that think rape as a punishment is justified. If this is true then I hope all prisoners involved were charged with rape, they are no better than the sick bastard they raped.

How is this in the Chat & Games section lol? Has the OP got plans for all of us lol?

Child Rape and general rape puts you at the very bottom of the Prison hierarchy. Don't dont do crime and you wouldn't have to deal with that.

not a good idea to let this go unpunished otherwise it makes a mockery of the Brazilian justice system

This pretty much.

Tough call. In general, I think these prisons clearly need to be better policed because, it's true if this was able to happen twice then it strongly indicates that terrible things are happening to people who are in for less horrific crimes. So in general, I am very much against vigilante justice in prisons. As has also been mentioned - the men doling out this sort of thing are clearly also violent criminals (before this), so how c a n you applaud it?

On the other hand, I have absolutely no sympathy for this monster, and I agree that nothing they could possibly do to him compares to the damage he must have done to that child before he died. His own son, for Christ's sake. Taking the wider context of the clearly broken prison system there out of consideration: I hope he dies of septicaemia, and I'm glad that he's suffered in the run up to that. There is no other fitting outcome for his crime.
