This sort of incident shouldn't happen to people in custody, but I'm not shedding any tears over it.

This is inaccurate, they interviewed the suspect and he was actually just doing a medical procedure

Can we find out who did the stabbing and arrange for a GoFundMe to put some money on his books.

About time someone posted some good news on imgur

When bad things happen to bad people it's really difficult to feel sympathy.
smellsmiketeenspirit
Thing is, we don't have to feel sympathy. But we should be concerned about how the system didn't protect him. Because it may very well be a trans person or a black person or an antifa person or anyone else we think are good people that will get stabbed (already happening anyway). And you know what kind of people are going to rejoice when hearing about it.
linweelle
I hope he lives a LONG time, worrying about the next time it will happen. Maybe then he will know the horror he put others through.

My exact thought.

I didn't even think the oh no part.

I hope he lives, so they can try again...and again...and again..

I think we should change that to: “You’re welcome for me merely thinking about your crisis, which is better than me ignoring it but just barely.”

Sadly, he’s in stable condition. Need to finish the job next time.
Mercurybird
I hope he lives!!! Seriously. His life should be miserable and prison could help with that.

And, he's still alive. More stabbings!!!

Imgur: "Vigilante justice is never justified." Also Imgur: "This prisoner got stabbed by other prisoners. Good!"

it's not justified but I don't feel bad it happened.

It's pretty common in prison that pedos are the lowest of the low. Killed your wife? Be my cell buddy! Fucked with kids? You're dead bitch.
PubstarHero
Nah, thats not how it goes. Anything against women or children gets a mark put on your back.
marsgoose
Brobably because lots of inmates are in prison due to emotional issues caused by child abuse, be it physical, sexual or psychological. Becomes personal real quick.
Pfffftit
Shame…. Moving on
Cats2cats
They have to keep the sex offenders out of gen pop & it is not always a feasible thing to do.
marsgoose
We should abolish prison and have convicts face each other in the thunderdome. Scale to offense of course, maybe fight a racoon for a DUI and so on. Televise it, sell merch and tickets, proceeds go to victims compensation fund.
Frenchgeek
And all of a sudden, consent is very important to him.
Comboverman
ouch. lol.

He must have been asking for it. Perhaps he shouldn't dress that way?
lucasmacdonald81101
Will maybe he shouldn't have lead them on in the first place of he didn't want to get stabbed.
TheGriffin
TheWombatStrikesAgain
I'm still not convinced he was actually stabbed. He's probably just doing it for the attention.

Shouldve just laid back and enjoy it

Sex offenders and pedophiles should not be given special preferential treatment. They should be put in with the general population of prisons. They should feel preyed upon.
whatsisname
Going to prison should be the punishment. You shouldn't go to prison for punishment. Most people in prison will get out some day, and if you treat everyone in prison like animals, guess how well they'll integrate back into society.
n0n53n53
he has a 150 year sentence, but keep hoping this POS will "get better and get out"
whatsisname
For every one of him there are dozens that are serving lesser sentences that will some day get out. And invariably trying to slam the hammer down on the Nassars will instead result in the hammer unreasonably being dropped on everyone, to societies detriment
n0n53n53
yeah I don't care how many pedos get killed in jail. sorry not sorry
Crimx42
Only 10? Slackers
DoucheBaggington
Keep him alive. More stabs to follow!
doodlydoofus
Larry's literally in prison for the rest of his life. Even his attackers wouldn't want to cut his punishment short after only a few years. Not like he's a Dahmer who is an actual threat to the rest of the inmates, give him a good stabbing once and let him live in fear for the rest of his life.

Depending in where they stabbed him 10x...

maybe the toothbrush broke

But you want him to survive.. death is an easy out....

save some for later...
thecrazydruid
they didnt wanna kill him just fuck him up real good , that way you can do it again when he gets out of medical and back to gen pop
Xman102003
Stab directly through the fingers, it'll cripple him for life, that's 10. You can get an extra 10 out of the toes

No one wants to work anymore /s
ThrockmortonTheSkateboarder
JFC, these bloodthirsty comments are atrocious! You know, it IS possible to condemn his crimes and still want a penal system where inmates don't stab each other.
n0n53n53
Usually I'd agree, but with this guy, for all he did?
PicassoCT
We are primitive animals and lust for revenge is part of that. You are ethechnically correct though
smellsmiketeenspirit
Nah. That's how foundations are laid for blaming rape victims: "they were wearing a see through summer dress and I couldn't help myself because I am a primitive animal". Nah, millions of people don't do that and this is the norm.
BigBidiza
It's really funny how Imgur staff is scared of drawn horsecock, but totally fine with comments wishing for someones death on a daily basis.
n0n53n53
I only wish for him to die on a single day.
lsama
It is hard to feel sympathy for a dude who abused the trust of countless teenage girls so he could get off.
marsgoose
This sucks not just for the stabee, but also for the stabber. You can end up having to murder a pedo in order to avoid getting murdered yourself, which can further fuck you up mentally and add a murder charge to your sentence. AFAIK you are expected to murder your cellie if he turns out to be a pedo.
smellsmiketeenspirit
The outrage crowd wants its pound of flesh. Imgur is not different. There's also cat posts.
BrightestNight
heh, heh, you said penal.
besttom
There are many problems with the US correctional industry (emphasis on the industry). Violence in a contained population of criminals (including many violent ones) is certainly one of them. I would like to see that improved while also seeing pedophiles and serial sexual abusers unmercifully punished, particularly those like C. Campos (the soccer coach rapist) who deserve nothing but the most severe, harshest and (yes) cruel and unusual punishment imaginable. Destroying youth lives earns that.
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
Nope. A man or woman touches my daughters and they will not get to prison. Prison is good for reabilitation but this is rotten to the core. Nothing to reabilite or salvage.
AsheLake
Prison is good for rehabilitation? WTF?
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
I mean sending people to prison gives them another chance after they get out. As opposed to getting them executed.
IAmASentientWaffle
"reabilitation", "reabilite", wtf. Stop making up words. And prison is pretty much the opposite of rehabilitation, especially American prison.
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
Sorry English is not my first language. Prison is the adult time out. Then they get out and get another chance (in theory). Whereas if they get executed, they don't get a second chance to come back in society.
IAmASentientWaffle
It's not my first language either. And you're not just confused about the spelling of the word 'rehabilitation', but also about its meaning. Rehabilitation is a process of tackling the specific root causes of why someone ended up committing crime.
ValaTheFox
He scarred over 360 young women for life. Now he is scarred for life too.
WhatTheHellIsGoingOnBob
Not scarred for life, he's 59 years old. Even if he lives to 100 years, he'll only have been scarred for 41% of his life.
Mmbear
Seems like he has 350 more stabbings to go.
JoshuaHarazin
Only 350 to go!
davidseavey726
I’m sure there pain is greater but fuck him
FishCoffin
Ooh I like this comment :)
yoseiwind
Not young women. Children. We need to use the correct terms for these kind of crimes. And people who harm children in this horrific way generally do very badly in prison.
ValaTheFox
Thank you. Yes. I’m sorry. I wish I hadn’t said “young women” now. You’re right about language — it matters.
loma45
Both. He abused children and adults alike while at Michigan State University and at USA Gymnastics.
yoseiwind
I understand that, but news reports always describe underage victims as young adults. Percentage wise, including those from the university, the majority of victims will have been under the age of 18 at the start of the abuse. So it must be outlined clearly and consistently.
Carl99
Whilst i doubt this actually applies here to the person you first responded to, (lot of people from US on here after all), age of consent and relevant laws age limits does vary between different countries so in some cases those girls below 18 but above a certain age, (mostly 16 or 17 AFAIK), would not be considered children for this purpose. I agree 110% with your general point however.
yoseiwind
I understand your point, just also pointing out with position of power this person held and the way the gymnastics community is built the grooming if not actual assault certainly started age 12 and under, barring the rare late entry to professional gymnast world track. So my mind categorizes this systemic abuse as against children for how pervasive it is, it’s rare for anyone over the age of consent to suddenly break into this specific level of the sport.
ValaTheFox
It feels wrong to talk about the age of consent in this context… given that they did not consent.
FourScoreAndSevenBeersAgo
It's bad that this happens to pedophiles in custody?
CorrugatedUrethra1995
If nothing else, we all have better things to worry about than his wellbeing.
loma45
Yes. Basic human rights apply to everyone, and condoning extra-judicial torture because you feel some people "deserve it" is not a good enough reason to erode those rights. Normalizing/celebratory this type of thing makes it more common and accepted, not just for the really heinous people like Nassar.
AsheLake
Agreed. Individually, it feels right. But systemically, it’s part of a larger problem.
DisgruntledFerret
Cruel and unusual punishment is banned, for good reason. I'm not crying over this guy, but we can't legitimize shankings or prison rapes.
Corrodias
Well, it's not part of his sentence. I'd prefer sentences be appropriate and that prisons be safe and focused on rehabilitation where possible.
n0n53n53
probably not gonna rehab a pedo in 150 years, but good for you for trying I guess
tarnok
Yeah good luck trying to explain that to most
konmari
A justice system failure. But a sick karmic win
Corrodias
Agreed, IF it must happen, then this is the kind of person I'd like it to happen to.
FrostyRaptor
We sentence you to XX years in prison and every 3rd Monday a light stabbing. Failure to report to the prisons Stabbing Office, will result in additional punctures. /s
crushingbore
"Where possible" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. You can't rehabilitate this guy. My hot take for the day, this is the kind of piece of shit you execute.
Corrodias
Yeah, this isn't the kind of crime where someone couldn't make their way in the world without crime due to their upbringing or bad luck. If one could truly be certain of guilt, I wouldn't see a point in keeping him around, either.
crushingbore
More than 150 women and girls over two decades.
chiechien
Amongst the problems with the death penalty, there is no way to design a system where only the truly guilty, irredeemable, are executed.
crushingbore
Which is why, in a legal sense, I'm against it. But that doesn't mean I don't believe there are people who deserve it.
AsheLake
In contrast to the vast majority of incarcerations that are for issues that could be solved/prevented in better and cheaper ways, this seems like the perfect example of the kind of thing for which a life sentence is actually appropriate. Though I’m not sure how a person could even hypothetically be exonerated from this type of crime, my ignorance doesn’t necessitate such an irreversible sentence as execution.
