  • We (SC) didn't even give Susan Smith the death penalty for killing her own kids.

    That was before I moved down here. But remember hearing about it and thinking it was odd that she didn't get the DP. Not only did she get to live, but got pregnant from a guard in prison.

    One thing this state does not lack is horrendous crimes. Susan Smith may be the only rival to dylan roof when it comes to heinous acts committed in this state since slavery.

    He has to be the most notorious when it comes to heinous acts in South Carolina. He committed his in the 60s/70s and was executed in the early 90s, so it's understandable how he could be overlooked. The things he did were truly disturbing.
    Have you seen the SCETV documentary on Pee Wee? Fascinating stuff. Dude was batshit crazy and even killed his niece. My grandmother actually knew him. There's also Larry Gene Bell who was executed in the 90's.
    I'm through with screaming

    I've seen a documentary on him, but I'm not sure if it's one on SCETV.

    I've heard stories of that guy. I hear he killed a few people from the area I live.

    He probably did, if all of his claims were true.

    Back to the trial:

    Live tweets state that Roof laments that his mental competency hearings will become public knowledge and said "there's nothing wrong with me psychologically."

    Prosecutor is calling victims' family to stand, starting with Sen. Pinckney's wife.

    CHARLESTON — Six weeks after he shot and killed nine people at a Charleston church, Dylann Roof lamented in a jailhouse journal that he could no longer go to the movies or eat good food. But he still felt the massacre was “worth it” because of what he perceived as the wrongs perpetrated by the black community.

    “I would like to make it crystal clear, I do not regret what I did,” Roof wrote. “I am not sorry.”

    he is obviously intentionally going for the DP. he knows, as a racist who murdered 9 black people, he is in for a world of pain and agony in prison where there is a disproportionate amount of black people. he wants death, but before that, solitary. that's the only way his bung hole survives.

    Not if the white supremacists gangs protected him, which they probably would. Come on, you've seen American History X. ;)
    No, but seriously, he would be in isolation 23 hours of the day with an hour along in a concrete courtyard. I don't think there would be opportunity for others to attack him, would there?? Pretty sure they have armed guards all over the place in those supermax prisons. Total lockdown, basically.

    Well yeah, I think this guy would get sent to a supermax prison where he is kept alone in a cell basically all the time. Don't you think that, considering his crime??

  • I couldn't see authorities not taking all precautions to ensure Mushroom Head's safety in prison.

    Prison officials likely don't want the aftermath of a high profile loser such as this dying in their custody.

    Not that anyone would probably care. Dahmer didn't create much of a stir.

    Either way, he needs to rot in solitary. Gen pop allows protection from gangs and other comforts they smuggle in.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    As I mentioned earlier, if he ends up in federal lockup, it will mostly likely be Supermax here in Colorado. 23.5 hours per day in solitary cell and 30 minutes in a yard by himself.

    Exactly. Someone who commits a crime like that would never be in general population.

    Most cheered when Dahmer met his end.

    Think of his situation: he's placed in a cell with a cell mate. The guy who killed him (his cell mate) likely thought he had no choice. Are you sleeping soundly at night with that freak in the same locked cell?

    Nope. Not a chance anyone wanted to be in a dark confined area with that guy. Ain't no rest for the wicked....

    How do you figure most cheered? I also always think it's a sad display of the darker side of people when they stand outside a prison when someone is executed. I know it's not how Dahmer went, but it just made me think of that.

    I didn't mean literally.

    I meant to say that nobody lost any sleep when they discovered a guy who drugged, raped, tortured and mutilated young men for kicks was killed in prison. He should have been executed the moment he was convicted for his crimes and sentenced. At a bare minimum... it would have saved his cell mate from having to take matter into his own hands.

    Probably so. He's already been beaten up at least once while incarcerated already. He should have just gone ahead and killed himself though.
  • If I can recall correctly and completely aside from the topic of the thread (but in line with the current flow of conversation):

    Two cops were called to a scene where a naked, incoherent (he was drugged) and bleeding youth was wandering the street that Dahmer lived on. Two pedestrians called for police support.

    Dahmer... realizing his victim had escaped... ran out of his house, came upon the scene, and convinced the officers the youth was his gay lover and he had too much to drink. The cops went into the home and, despite a rank odor, left the victim with Dahmer- ultimately buying the story. You can guess the rest.

    F**king idiots. There's been some big blunders in the vast span of history... but that's as big as they get.

    In many cases, it isn't a yard. It's another small room, but with indoor windows.
    Sunlight and open sky aren't seen at all.

    Some people are just happy that justice is served and show up to demonstrate their support for such justice as well as pay respect to the deceased. It's closure. Pure and simple.

    It's tough for some to see it that way- especially if they concern themselves too much for a cannibal kid killer. They should try looking at it from a slightly more pragmatic approach vs a philosophical ideal.

    What is the matter with you Thirty? AGAIN you act like we care about killers, despite how many times we've so clearly explained that that is not the case.

    I said for some. Whether that meant you or not is up for you to decide.

    I thought when we went over this last time... I explained to you exactly some of the comments that were made in this forum where people ACTUALLY DO CARE about killers (remember the "it would be far worse to await execution than be the victim of a murder" statement made, supported, and argued?).

    And even with that said... if you do lament a child killer's execution for his crimes... you do care at least a little. To this... you've actually never clearly explained. Not at all.

    Hahaha only Thirty would try to spin tailgating an execution into a pragmatic paying of respect to the deceased!

    no, you still aren't getting it. we don't care about the individual. it's bigger than that. we care about society as a whole, and the path it takes when going down the road you suggest.

    Most cheered when Dahmer met his end.

    Think of his situation: he's placed in a cell with a cell mate. The guy who killed him (his cell mate) likely thought he had no choice. Are you sleeping soundly at night with that freak in the same locked cell?
    How do you figure most cheered? I also always think it's a sad display of the darker side of people when they stand outside a prison when someone is executed. I know it's not how Dahmer went, but it just made me think of that.
    I agree. It's gruesome.
    Some people are just happy that justice is served and show up to demonstrate their support for such justice as well as pay respect to the deceased. It's closure. Pure and simple.

    It's tough for some to see it that way- especially if they concern themselves too much for a cannibal kid killer. They should try looking at it from a slightly more pragmatic approach vs a philosophical ideal.
    some people just have a sick idea of what support for the justice system constitutes.

    whether that meant you or not is up for you to decide.

    I couldn't see authorities not taking all precautions to ensure Mushroom Head's safety in prison.

    Prison officials likely don't want the aftermath of a high profile loser such as this dying in their custody.

    Not that anyone would probably care. Dahmer didn't create much of a stir.

    Either way, he needs to rot in solitary. Gen pop allows protection from gangs and other comforts they smuggle in.

    Hahaha only Thirty would try to spin tailgating an execution into a pragmatic paying of respect to the deceased!
    Hahaha like you spin looting and rioting part of an honourable display against a nation wide inherently corrupt and racist police force?

    What I said isn't far fetched at all. Some of those intimately affected by horrific crimes need that type of closure, RG. You do know the majority of people want the DP right?
