Personally, I have no problem with child-rapists being murdered while in prison and then having that murder covered up as a suicide. If they ever find out who actually did the deed, I hope they get a slight reduction on their sentence and a few cartons of cigarettes. This counts as community service.
But still, there are some amusing memes about this happening, and I'd be remiss for not re-posting the best of them here.

I'm not sure he was murdered. I think he may have actually committed suicide and the guards were paid to look the other way. It's much cleaner to place enough pressure on someone to get them to commit suicide than it is to have someone actually murder them and hope nothing goes wrong.

Presupposing that it was actually murder, yes. I think that murdering child-rapists is a net-positive for society, and (successfully) concealing said murders avoids wasting the courts' time and also removes a disincentivization for people who might commit such murders.
In a hypothetical, ideal world, yes, I'd prefer that the identity of the mastermind was known so that they would be rewarded. Unfortunately, we live in a world in which the most extreme alt-leftists recognize child-rape as a legitimate sexual identity and would engage in extra-judicial persecution of anyone suspected of murdering a child-rapist, so it's probably better that their identity remain unknown.
Also, it's possible that I don't give a **** about any of that, and just wanted to share an amusing cat picture.

Oh you'll hurt my family? How do I know you won't do that once I'm gone anyway?

Did someone say witch hunt?

“People in the Clinton world are keen for this book not to come out”
Author Lee Smith proclaimed Sunday that the Russiagate saga was a coordinated political attack on the Trump campaign by the FBI at the behest of the deep state, and claimed that the Clinton camp are keen to prevent his book from being published.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures”, Smith explained how the operation was designed to prevent Trump from becoming President, and to aid Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Smith claimed that University of Cambridge professor Stefan Halper was paid to sabotage the Trump campaign under the guise of carrying out “studies” on foreign governments for the intelligence community.
“What we see is these are not actual studies — we hear that he was reportedly the FBI’s confidential source, sent against the Trump campaign,” Smith said.
“What he really is… is a political operative,” Smith continued, adding “This was a political operation designed to assist the Clinton campaign.”
“We talk a lot about the FBI, and DOJ and we’re right to focus on the very bad, likely criminal things they did. But it’s important to remember that the primary beneficiary was the Clinton campaign.” Smith urged.

Today in Irony.
AKA But TrUmPfFHFs ReThORIC!?1!11!!!
https://news.yahoo.com/jerry-springe...-civility.html
It’s no secret that Jerry Springer has seen more examples of the decline of civility in society than probably anyone.
So when he blames Donald Trump for the current rise in rudeness, maybe he’s onto something?
He thinks so anyway, as he told MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle during a segment on Friday.
“I used to joke and say that my anger at the president is that he took my show and brought it to the White House,” Springer said.
He then talked about civility in a manner familiar to anyone who has seen one of his “final thoughts” that used to end his talk show.
“Civility is critical in terms of our norms, and we can’t function as a society unless we have norms of how to behave,” said Springer, the former mayor of Cincinnati. “You can’t pass enough laws to take care of every human interaction.”
But Springer said for norms to work, top leaders have to take them seriously.
“When they misbehave, when they say the norms don’t matter, when they say, ‘You can use whatever language you want, anything you can get away with, get away with it. If you don’t pay taxes, you’re smart.’ Demeaning other people. When they have this behavior, it tells society that we really don’t have any norms anymore,” Springer said.
He added: “There’s no appropriate way to behave. We can’t have that in the leadership of our country.
“We can change policies, we’ll survive that [but] once we do away with civility in terms of our institutions, we’ve lost it.”
