I was mostly referring to the people getting their jollies at the thought of him being raped.
It's the old eye for an eye mentality.
Goes back thousands of years and shouldn't really come as a shock this far into things.
I'm sure these same people wouldn't wish rape on anyone that hasn't done it to someone else.
I'd hardly suspect ANYONE in the thread of "getting their jollies off" by stating these things.
Highly doubtful anyway.
It's a pretty common desire to see a victimizer victimized in the same fashion as his victims.
A taste of their own medicine so to speak.
I heard he was under daily isolation with an hour of exercise to himself right up until the day he was beaten to death.
The story was that a specific door was "accidentally" left unlocked where he was alone. Then about 3-4 dudes came in with broom sticks and proceeded to whack him until death.
If i were to guess....there is no way he would have been ever released into gen.pop?
Edit:wasnt alone. Was on "toilet cleaning duty" when attacked with broomstick. Apparently one of the other 2 inmates was attacked as well.
Doesn't mean it's productive or accomplishes anything. In this case, whatever, he wasn't getting out.
I was just referring to the fact that you're disgusted by something no one is forcing you to read.
Unrepresented
Something Borderline Offensive
I assumed there was a compulsory test on sitewide knowledge.
I didn't want to be the one bringing down the average.
I see you went and did some reading.
Yes, he was in strict isolation for his first year, and then released into population and assigned to janitorial duties when it was mutually decided that the threat wasn't great enough to keep him in complete isolation.
There are several articles regarding these details online.

"When Mr. Dahmer arrived at the prison, the Columbia Correctional Institute in Portage, about 40 miles north of Madison, his safety was a major concern.
The blond former chocolate-factory worker was the most prolific killer in the state's history, so, the authorities feared, killing him might earn a convict an honored place in the prison world, especially for someone with a long sentence and with little to lose.
((((((Mr. Dahmer's first year in prison had been spent in protective isolation, away from the general inmate population.)))))
(((((( But in the last year, Mr. Dahmer and the prison authorities had deemed it safe enough for him to be <b>integrated into the general population of 622 inmates.<b>))))))
Last July, however, an inmate tried to slash Mr. Dahmer's throat with a plastic homemade knife during a chapel service. But Mr. Dahmer was not injured and both he and his keepers determined that the attack was an isolated incident."

Wow!
Initially (before my edit post) I was just going by memory from the time if the incident!
Keep forgetting justice system up here is different....
I was going off of memory too, but immediate questioned my memories dependability as soon as it was questioned.
I studied that nut pretty extensively for a paper once.
But yeah, I was pretty shocked he of all people was allowed into gen pop!
That's insane.
Could you imagine being in prison for something like involuntary manslaughter and sitting at the table with Dahmer?
Crazy!!
Hey guys, they a doing a newscast with excerpts from his interrogation after the arrest. Maybe we could have actual quotes from these newscasts and possibly some pics too.
HOW LONG MUST EVERYONE ENDURE THIS SENSELESS CRAP.
Your all doing exactly what Castro would have wanted.
Lets just forget this guy and get on with life.
Why do sane people behave this way.
;-/ SPIT
Yes Hover, I realize I don't have to participate.

Right on.
Those three girls have been begging the public for some privacy since the actual hour of their rescue.
This story never should have gotten out of their local neighborhood in the first place. We vultures just don't need to know.
Hey.....I'll be the one to decide what you vultures don't need to know.
Ya, I get it. Over the top hype, sensationalism, etc., and yes, those women don't need to live their lives on tv.
Always beware though, of somebody else deciding "what you need to know".
Who watches the watchers?
Well said.
Outside of the family and community this tragedy directly affected, the whole thing can serve as nothing more than a spectacle. If we pay attention to that spectacle, we're turning other human beings' tragedy into our entertainment.
