(21,194 posts)24. There is nothing good or meritorious about this.
Prison rape is not a joke.
As horrible as what this man did may be, rejoicing that he'll be subjected to torture, rape and an early death contributes nothing good to making America a place that does not tolerate social Darwinism, eye-for-eye retribution, and cruelty in place of an equitable rule of law.
The child he victimized will not be un-victimized, nor will teaching her that it's okay to rejoice in a horrible revenge for her injuries help her overcome the trauma, learn to trust humankind again, and seek a future where she will experience kindness because she can value and dispense it herself. Even in the face of the horrors she survived.
sadly,
Bright

OMG how horrible for that child. This will damage her for the rest of her life. The parents should be locked up forever.
