Katie's Revenge (Wizbang)

I realize I'm not the crime blogger around here - or anywhere, for that matter - I'm just the tech guy, but I got a tip the other night about something that's turning into a rather a big story of the day. I was asked to verify, with my mad Photoshop skills, if a picture was photograph was legitimate. This is the pic:

Yeah, that's the small version, but the rather large version I had no indication that it was forged, so I thought it looked to me to be real. Photoshops are notorious for being even, and making sure the letters are centered, et cetera. The person who sent me the photo told me the story:

The image below is Anthony Stockelman, the ruthless monster responsible for Katie's sexual assault and murder. The photo was taken after his conviction, and after a relative of Katie's managed to leave a permanent reminder of what Stockelman has done- upon his forehead. It seems that the two were serving time in the same jail when a situation allowing them to come into contact with each other occurred.

That situation being a little forehead tattoo action. The person responsible for the tattooing was Katie's cousin, and the reason Stockelman was in jail was because he raped and killed Katie.

Finding it hard to feel sorry for the guy? In an act to make something out of this atrocity, they built Katie's Playground, tearing down apartments housing a meth lab, and building a park in her memory. It's a small measure, fully incapable of bringing a little girl back to life, back to purity, but it helps us cope.

Sort of, I guess, like branding her killer.

UPDATES: First, Lilo added the full-size image, so you can see it in all its glory, and...how'd you miss this? By the way, she's a righty, just so you know.

Nathan:

Nice to see that all comments are unanimous in praising this action. So much for a nation of laws.

It goes without saying that this man has committed the worst possible of crimes, and that whatever beatdown and tattooing he experienced is not as evil as the crime he himself committed.

But this does not change the fact that this is cruel and unusual punishment, which flies in the face of the highest law of our land, the Constitution. And furthermore, it shows that this correctional institution, symptomatic of those nationwide, is totally out of control and corrupt.

Remember also that not every inmate is Anthony Ray Stockelman. Before you go cheering his prison assault, think for a moment how you would feel if you or your loved one was doing time and ended up being assaulted or raped.

All this reactionary, unthinking mob mentality is truly disheartening. But perhaps it would be too much to expect when our President has no respect for the law or human life, and orders secret torture and indefinite detentions.

Perhaps you should put your bloodlust in check, 'Justice'. It is God's place to mete out punishment not yours nor a bunch of convicts. Is it not written in Matthew 5:7 - Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy? Obviously this person needs to be segregated from society, but at the same time cruel and unusual punishment can not be allowed against prisoners. For what he did he loses his freedom for the rest of his life so he can't harm another person. The rest of Mr. Stockelman's punishment is between God and himself.

For those who are going "wahh that poor guy he should get out" and "justice will find a way, that poor man!" that fucking tattoo is perfect. That means that if he was ganged up on and held down, he would have squirmed and that tattoo would have been all squiggly and fucked up. But instead the lines and level of ink distribution are fine, which means that he either willingly accepted this tattoo or didnt bother to fight it. Are you really gonna sit there and defend a guy who rapes and murders a little girl, then sits there and allows it to be displayed on his face like some kind of fucking badge of honor?
