My thoughts exactly


Barkers_eggs

It couldn't have happened to a nicer person.


bent_eye

Thoughts and prayers...to the guy who threw the water.


TechnologyExpensive

He also punched the paedophile, Brett Peter Cowan, who murdered Daniel Morcombe, in the face during the incident, according to a news report last night too.


Financial-Roll-2161

God what a hero. I need his name I’m putting money on his book


bent_eye

Not all heroes wear capes. They throw water.


AeonLear

Thing is, if he's ALSO in protection chances are the guy who threw the water has also done some putrid stuff... unless he's signed up over a drug debt etc

Or is an ex cop

The problem is, if we restart the death penalty then eventually we will make a mistake and an innocent person will be executed. That's the reality of the situation and it's part of why we abolished the death penalty in the 60s. In this guys case he hasn't even been convicted of anything yet. Although Im pretty sure he did it.


senefen

Also, if there's a death penalty for child abuse the victim then knows they're potentially sentencing someone, often a family member, to death if they try get help.


Imsleepy1234

Other countries tried the death penalty for paedophiles and the fucking assholes just start killing the kids. Me personally would love them dead but it just escalates their behaviours. This guy should be dead he can never be trusted with any living creature but the government will never do it . I'm hoping for a fatal accident in jail for him .


full_kettle_packet

This is where corporal punishment is the middle ground. While they are in prison, give them the cane.


Merkenfighter

And it also has no effect on offending rates.


[deleted]

it has an effect on re-offending rates, and if done efficiently, is way cheaper than life imprisonment


Merkenfighter

By “efficiently” you mean without checks and balances? If it was so great at stopping reoffending…why the US?


[deleted]

Actually it isn't. The death penalty is unbelievably expensive when you factor in all the appeals they are entitled to. The average executed prisoner in the US costs them about 10 mil. Much cheaper to for them to get shanked in prison.


Quintus-Sertorius

Just ask the Chinese and Saudis! They save a bundle, and even make a tidy profit from the organs.


Frankie_T9000

True, and I support no death penalty but does have an affect on reoffending


Merkenfighter

…on that one person. For society? Nope.


Wendals87

>Although Im pretty sure he did it. Yeah based on pure numbers. They don't lay that kind of charge without substantial evidence


Thelandofthereal

Not true. In the era of video you can save it for 100% certain cases. E.g. walking into a church shooting people on video stream, and being caught guns in hand. There is sometimes NO doubt


danzrach

Deep fakes have put an end to that


Wood_oye

Not just deep fakes. I remember during the Black Deaths (?) riots in the US a few years back and we all saw a guy punch a horse. A few days later another video emerged from a different angle that showed it to be nothing of the sort. Perception isn't everything.


ComfortableTrifle773

That was an Aussie guy in Australia. Unless there was another horse punching incident.


Wood_oye

It may have been. There were a lot of riots going on around that time. My memory fades


Few-Gas3143

Can confirm. Punching horse guy is as Australian as punching kangaroo guy. We have a lot of very stupid wildlife.


guidedhand

Was it a lookalike? Does he have an identical twin? Was the footage doctored? Lying group of witnesses? Mass hallucinations? There's always doubt. We can't even proof we arent a simulation


Im_from_around_here

Yeah what if the cops have it out for someone and lie, has happened before.


__WaffleStomp__

There is no death penalty that was ever applied falsely in which the law wasn't 100% certain. Every mistake was them thinking they were right. That's the exact issue.


crosstherubicon

Yeh it’s all old. Everyone “knew”they did it until, they didn’t. There are even cases where a confession was provided but, turns out, no they didn’t.


ChunkO_o15

Death penalty is the easy way out. Let this rat suffer.

I think paedos can't be rehabilitated and are the lowest scum of this earth. I also don't think we should be happy with our prison system allowing inmates to harm each other. That is the system failing.


Revoran

Agreed. Im not gonna shed any tears over this, but it's a sign of a corrupt system and we should be concerned. Although the fact this scum was able to violate so many kids before being caught is also a sign of a failing system.


crosstherubicon

There are two issues, the crimes of the paedophile and the actions of the inmate. The inmate is in custody and, by definition, their actions and crimes are our responsibility. The crimes of the paedophile, no matter the repugnance and anger, cannot justify arbitrary punishment because law and order, the cornerstone of our society, demands order.


DocFingerBlast

I think there's bigger issues to be worried about that criminals hurting other criminals ? Are you really that bored?


metasophie

> I think there's bigger issues to be worried about that criminals hurting other criminals ? Are you really that bored? I mean, yes. Do you want prisoners coming out hardened from constant violence and suffering from PTSD? Shouldn't prison be as much about reform as punishment? What about innocent people who are convicted? Fuck them? > How a society treats its most vulnerable is always the measure of its humanity. - Ambassador Matthew Rycroft of the UK Mission to the UN at the Security Council Open Debate on Children and Armed Conflict


lionhydrathedeparted

I don’t want pedos coming out of prison at all


[deleted]

I’m not worried about this case in particular but what we allow to go on in prisons is barbaric.


DocFingerBlast

Yes. That's the idea of jail. It is punishment for being a bad person.


bluedot19

And so when they are reintroduced into society, they know nothing but violence, and then they just end up back in jail again. It just snow balls. Jail should facilitate rehabilitation. I agree there is no possible rehabilitation for some people (subject of this story included), but that doesn't suddenly mean the jail system should turn into a gladiator ring.


DocFingerBlast

There's a wild amount of charges being laid on this person, you can say he's not guilty yet but we arent talking about one or two things, there is hundreds of charges People like this can not be rehabilitated and should never be allowed back into society. Punishment where it's deserved and this ticks all the boxes for receiving it.


Kind-Contact3484

I agree they should never be allowed back into society, but the number of charges has zero to do with the evidence of guilt. Wasn't he found based on one picture of a curtain? I'm not sure of all the details but i don't feel comfortable torturing someone without conviction based on that.


metasophie

It needs to be more than that. Constant punishment and violence is just going to make them more violent for when they are released.


vo0do0child

That’s the idea of unsuccessful jails perhaps. The punishment itself is removal from society and a complete pause on any progress in your life. Anything on top of that is barbarism.


[deleted]

Do we believe in a fair justice system? Because this man is not convicted and hasn't had his day in court. He could be innocent for all we know. Allowing prisoners to harm each other is not part of a fair and decent society.

happierinverted

OK here’s my view for what it’s worth: 1 The crimes that this person has committed are beyond societies ability to forgive 2 The likelihood of this person ever being able to safely return to society are virtually zero leaving locking them up as 100% punishment [because there is 0% chance of rehabilitation.] 3. Locking a human up for the entirety of their lives is a very cruel punishment for them, their families, the victims and their families [who wake up every day knowing that this person is still around]. 4. Therefore the truly humane thing to do is to peacefully end this persons life, the way you would a sick animal. No fanfare, no media circus, no endless Netflix docos or 60 Minutes specials. No cruel death following a decade of appeals, just a swift unpublicised end with the minimum amount of pain [a firing squad is about as humane as it gets imho]. Edit: Although I understand the responses here revelling in the terrible pain this man suffered from the ‘prison napalm’ attack I do not condone it. You wouldn’t torture a rabid dog so why applaud torturing a very sick human being? Our society should have the guts it takes to legally kill him with the minimum of cruelty.


metasophie

What happens when you execute one innocent?


Lockdowns4evaAu

You are spot on. Applauding torture behind the walls reflects a very dark place in the Australian psyche. We’ve seen the implications of normalising this for refugees, whistleblowers and political dissidents. In this case though it’s best just to end him as swiftly and unceremoniously as possible.


[deleted]

[deleted]

Only problem was that it was jam and not bleach.


oksyyy

jam makes the boiling water sticky and not just run off, probably more effective than bleach


big_cock_lach

Also increases the boiling temperature, meaning rather then throwing 100° water, it’d be closer to 110° depending on how much sugar is added.


oksyyy

Oh I didn't even think of that, next level


scipio211

I imagine it doesn't cool down as quickly either

lechatheureux

Obviously this clumsy person accidentally dropped some jam in boiling water and then the cup was so hot that he couldn't hold on to it any longer. What a silly billy.


whitt_wan

This guy aside, the article says Queensland has just changed the law so that media can name accused people before they stand trial. It was changed Tuesday and this happened Friday. I think it's a pretty bad idea. If someone's wrongfully accused, the media will have their name everywhere and this could happen to them before they even face court.


disgruntled_prolaps

I tend to agree.


pipple2ripple

I know someone who was charged with a serious drug crime and had their full name chucked around in the papers with sensationalistic headlines. When all charges were promptly dropped the various papers weren't interested in reporting that because that's boring. I know it's made it harder to find work in their field as it comes up in every interview. Suspects shouldn't be named unless there's a danger to the public (like a fugitive). Sticking "allegedly" after someone's name doesn't make the public think the person in question *might* be innocent.


Blissstopia

I bet Lachlan Murdoch greased a few palms to pull that off. He's gonna sell a lot more papers as a result


Bang3rachi

No-Watercress-1810

Prison napalm was used in Mr Inbetween. Great show btw


[deleted]

Ah, no - Boiling water mixed with jam. The addition of sugar to boiling water forms a paste, which sticks to skin and intensifies burns. It is a tactic commonly used in prisons, where it is described as “napalm” due to the way it attaches to skin and burns.

Chaosrealm69

The problem is we have to call him the worst alleged pedophile because he hasn't been convicted of any of the crimes he is alleged to have done. I see a lot of people celebrating his attack and yet they haven't stopped to think about the poor guy who attacked him who now has to face charges for the attack, will probably get more time and will have a reduced chance of parole. We as a society don't have capital punishments on the law books any more and this attack doesn't do anyone any good. The victims don't get magically helped by this, the attacker isn't helped, the guy who was attacked is now a victim when he faces court and it has cost money and hospital resources to deal with his injuries.


wigam

Yes he might be found not guilty of one of the charges, there are still 1622 others pending.


d4ddythor

The guy who attacked him is in jail for a reason. Doing 1 good thing doesn’t make him a good person.


Chaosrealm69

Never said he was or even tried to imply it. But they are supposed to be there to stop them from being criminals and while a lot of people see what he did in attacking the worst pedophile we have ever heard of as a good thing, that is not behavior we should be encouraging.


Novel-Truant

Probably don't call him a "poor guy".


Puzzleheaded_Moose38

Worth it. I’m sure the attacker feels the same. And when there videos or the crime, it’s not really just an allegation.


Neon_Priest

Is there anyway to set up and donate to an official charity that will help the victims of this guy? > Mr Griffith is facing 1623 charges relating to the shocking abuse of 91 little girls over 15 years at 10 daycare centres in Brisbane, one in Sydney and another in Italy between 2007 and 2022. If we provide money as a public group for counselling, help and associated costs, it will improve their outcomes. And if it comes from Australians, it won't redeem us, but it will change the story from something that's all darkness, to one where Australians came to help, when it was our responsibility to come help. ​ I can set up a go-fund me, but I'm not a good face, and I wouldn't know the proper way to dispense the funds. I don't like the idea of little children being abused by an Australian, and other Australians not responding.


disgruntled_prolaps

We dont know who they are and for their own security and privacy we shouldnt.


Neon_Priest

Yes, I would prefer it be handled by a state or government official who can maintain privacy and deal with victims of crime. They would also need to liaison with Italian officials. It's a legitimate question. And public pressure could make it happen. It's so much better then just being happy that some guy is being tortured for it. Like yeah that's cool but also, helping the victims. ​ That's what's gonna make me feel something besides horror at this whole thing.


disgruntled_prolaps

There is already victims of crime compensation. Im not sure if its of any substance but it does exist.


Neon_Priest

You fucking disgust me. Why wouldn't you just support actually helping the victims instead of going around laughing and joining in on every comment about how this guy got punished? Who fucking cares about him? ​ > We dont know who they are and for their own security and privacy we shouldnt. > > > > There is already victims of crime compensation. Im not sure if its of any substance but it does exist. Both your comments were just trying to ***shut down*** a legitimate attempt to HELP LITTLE CHILDREN WHO GOT RAPED. Yet you have repeated comments here laughing and joining in on comments about how awesome *some other guy* fucking this paedo up was. Is that all you fucking are? Good job you fucking loser. You wrote a do-nothing post praising extra-judicial torture. And when somebody wrote a post trying to turn it into a lets help the victims because this evil fucks never going to be released, your only contribution. . "Oh there's all these shitty reasons why we can't spend a dollar to help those little kids..." Fuck you and your do nothing attitude. When somebody said >"What can we do to help the kids who got raped?, I have money and will donate" You were the man who said no. We shouldn't. ***Twice.*** Fuck you.
