There was some anonymous gossip site up that had women posting in it up until his arrest basically straight up saying what he was and was up to.

WhoDatedWho, I think. Or WhosDatedWho, but that doesn't have the comments.

You took the words right out of my thumbs.

The guy is still alive? I could swear I read of him dying like over a decade ago. Was it some other anglo pedo musician?

I think one of the worst details from his case was when planning one of his assaults on a kid he told the mother "Let's show her she isn't loved".

He was fucking Satan.

So many people celebrating the death of another human being. Did Charlie Kirk teach us nothing?

Nonces aren't human.

Nonces aren't human.

Serial baby rapists aren't human.
In the thread where a repair man had a spent CSAM conviction, I thought the hate was unjust as he hadn't commited a crime for decades.

Likewise, whilst disgusted with ChrisChan I had hope he'd get better.

But raping babies is a whole new layer of monsterous, especially those who are otherwise sane and charismatic.

You're comparing a literal babyfucker (Watkins) with a man who at the very worst said "hurty words". I hope you're trolling.

There’s a difference between Kirk and a baby rapist

Just checked and he's still alive and back in prison from violating his parole with iirc attempted rape in 2024.

While you clearly jest, I do think this kind of mentality is what's causing so many problems. The establishment is so fixated on this kind of blank slateism, to the degree they see evil people almost as victims of their own evil, and refrain from punishing them.

It is a tragedy that he was killed by other sub-human scum, because in a just world his sentence would be death shortly after his conviction. But we live in a world that has pathologized brutality, and lost it's understanding of when it is necessary.

 

[spacko]

i think the worst thing about the whole Ian Watkins thing was the hypocrisy

I doubt the babies were charasmatic at that age.
