      @@ForkCandle123 Let’s agree to disagree. I agree other prisoners should violate him. There is a hierarchy to the inside just like on the outside. He is scum. I also disagree with you on life in prison. They very though of being executed at anytime is far worse. Also, giving him the ability to delay death through the court system will give him hope. That hope will be short and then destroyed. Ideally he would live 50-60 more years being violated. Then just before he dies of old age he should be executed….. executed with a rock on the head in the back of the prison. It’s people who feel death for death is inhuman that makes me sick. This was deliberate. He deserves to die but also feel the burn. Ultimately the world keeps spinning regardless if you and I are on it or not. But he deserves it and be completely erased from history. Being erased isn’t possible. Soooo in this instance his name should be revoked from everything regarding parkland. He should just be called parkland murderer. His image removed from all prints. His ashes thrown into a dumpster and just be done with ol boy.
