You can read the full story here, but the short version is this child molester killed a ten year old (“Katie”), and while imprisoned, relatives of hers got their hands on him and tattooed some of their pain onto his head. Not that it should be enjoyable, but he’s definitely not going to be enjoying his time in jail. The sad part is that now if he’s killed in prison, his family could have a winning lawsuit against Katie’s family. (Thanks to Tolley for the tip.)

This story is still developing so it’s in my opinion very possible that this is just a beating and some marker…

It seems kind of impossible to get a tattoo on someone when they don’t want one, but I hope its true. This is fucking great, its just a shame he can get it removed by laser whenever he gets out.

i genuinely hope that he never gets the chance, i have no sympathy whatsoever for somebody that would kill a kid

ditto to the marker comment.
plus if I was one of the family members and had the inclination to do this I think I’d want “pedophile” or “rapist” or something on the guys forehead, just my 2 cents.

it’s too bad the words will rot away when he dies… he should have it carved into his skull.
just MY two cents.

Call me callous, but there’re ways of just plain eliminating the problem of a pedophile. Prison justice is a bitch.

I think that all convicted pedophiles should have a “scarlet letter” of sorts. I’d hate to see them miss out on the beatings and rapes they deserve.

“…just a beating and some marker”, still! shit, that’s ALL they did to him? Damn shame. Probably speaking for most when I say I woulda loved to see more. Nothing worse than pedos. NOTHING!

Here’s the thing. I think that probably child killers- rapists – molesters should be handled differently, and probably more harshly by our justice system. If we want them in some way branded or marked, well, we can debate that where that debate belongs: in civil society.
It’s the job of the legislatures, courts, elected officials, civil tradition, and the body of case law to decide the nature of punishment meted out for any given crime. The way the people have a voice in governance is through those civil procedures, not through random acts of vendetta and revenge.
We live in a civilized society, not some Mad Max Wild West fantasy where the Punisher goes in guns a blazing and enforces frontier justice. It is simply wrong, legally, ethically and morally for a family member to, in a premeditated fashion, try to add onto the punishment which the good people of the state of Indiana (certainly not a hotbed of bleeding heart liberalism) felt was the appropriate state action in this case.
It’s fun and glibly simplistic to vent and say you support all forms of troture and execution, but that is not what the people decided was appropriate punishment. If you don’t like it, go lobby your government and get the laws changed to allow a slow, torturous death. If recent developments in the US Congress are any indication, you probably have a good shot at getting it passed, but in the meantime, personal vendettas are more appropriate to third world juntas and old style organized crime than in a civilized, modern democratic nation.
It’s just fuckin’ wrong.

Wow, that’s harsh..
i would have gone with some additional text though..

I read some of the articles about it on the link posted, and it sounds like it’s real since several traditional media outlets wrote about it. They aren’t sure if it was anyone in the family ( a cousin is in jail) or just other inmates, but either way they must have knocked him out first to get it that even looking. I don’t know how I feel about it though…

I’m all for tougher laws on child molesters and child killers. The justice system is far from perfect. I don’t advocate the death penalty, just because on some occasions the wrong person gets convicted and I don’t know if revenge ever really helps anyone heal. Still, I don’t have any sympathy for child molesters and child killers. I don’t believe any of the guilty ever get “cured” or rehabilitated. How many times have the courts released a sex offender because he’s “served his time” even when it’s known the person is a high risk to re-offend. How are people supposed to protect their children? They should keep the offenders in prison, I don’t care if the other inmates deal with them, just don’t let them back out on the street.

Wow, the bloodlust. I agree he did a horrible thing, all murderers, rapists…etc… have, but really, should we do violent things to people who have done violent things to show that doing violent things is wrong?
I have family that has been hurt by people, and though the first thought may be retribution, I wouldn’t say that’s the thought you should follow through on.

What the hell is wrong with some of you? The man molested and murdered a 10 year old child. Justice was not served by the courts and he deserves whatever retribution he gets, and I mean anything. Hopefully this piece of shit will get his throat opened for him after his balls have been stuffed down it.

just because someone did whatever to a kid doesnt mean its ok to knock them out and tattoo it across their face.
and you know whoever did it wont get punished as harshly as someone who did the exact same thing to a regular person. just because the guy who they did it to was a peado doesnt make it any more ok. even if he did deserve it

Aye, let’s brand all child molesters so everyone can beat them up. Probably best to mark out serial murderers as well, they need a good slapping. And one off killers at that. The finest way to protest against the taking of a life is naturally to kill someone else. While we’re at it, let’s also tag everyone who’s been done for assault. And homosexuals. And foreigners. Maybe we could use a six pointed star.
You don’t like the way the courts operate, you do something about the courts and the laws, not go around thinking you can supersede their rulings in the meantime.

I am really, really shocked at how people have responded to this. I don’t understand how you can justify the death penalty ever, it is just another negative act and there are no intrinsic ‘right’ or ‘wrongs’ they’re all totally relative.
I have in the past studied psychology, and am still an avid reader on the subject- especially dangerous personality disorders. paedophiles are actually the most helpful people, in terms of co operating with psychologists, in the prison system. by the time a paedophile reaches the stage of acting on his/her urges they have generally convinced themselves that the child wants them to do it.
yes, we all have choices, and yes what happened to that girl is absoloutly abhorrent, but try thinking about it from HIS point of view for a second because HE is a person too, instead of just branding him as a ‘monster’ or ‘evil’.
imagine how horrific it would be to find yourself sexually attracted to children, and trying to deal with that, supress it. hating yourself.
I believe that paedophiles are sick, and condemning the sick in the way that most of the people in this are advocating is just. ignorant.
we can’t try and prevent these kind of things unless we better understand them, and having some kind of knee jerk ‘evil’ reaction isn’t going to help.
i just want to point out that i in NO way advocate his actions, and that i do think it is horrific, and i empathise with the girl’s family. it is a horrible, horrible thing to have happened, but it also isn’t as simplistic as people would like to think.

It’s fine to look at things from a political point of view if you’re not involved personally. I’ve had personal experience in this arena, and I am not able to seperate myself from it.
I’m an extremely liberal person, but when it comes to adults forcing themselves on children, I hope they live forever in absolute torment and pain. Nothing is too harsh for them, and I don’t believe any physical or mental torture will ever be enough to square things.
That said, I also wouldn’t want to hang around and watch. All I can say about this particular case is that that guy got off fucking lightly.

“A Department of Correction spokesperson says Stockelman did receive the tattoo while serving time at Wabash Valley.” It’s not marker.

I’m really shocked by how many people are advocating mercy for this man.
“just because someone did whatever to a kid doesnt mean its ok to knock them out and tattoo it across their face”
Whatever? He raped and killed her. Whatever.
“Aye, let’s brand all child molesters so everyone can beat them up”
Perfect. With a great big P in the middle of their foreheads.
“While we’re at it, let’s also tag everyone who’s been done for assault. And homosexuals. And foreigners”
What? You think because I’d like to see this pedo die, I’d also like to see homosexuals and foreigners branded in some way too? Come on! We’re talking about someone who preys on children and SHOULD be tagged. Maybe he’ll never be able to get close to another child if he’s wearing his crime on his forehead.
“but try thinking about it from HIS point of view for a second because HE is a person too, instead of just branding him as a ‘monster’ or ‘evil’”
He’s a rabid animal who should be put down. I’m so bloody sick of our society defending people like this because they “can’t help themselves” or “they had a horrible childhood” or any of the other hundred excuses people come up with. If an adult finds themselves sexually attracted to children they should ACT like an adult and get help. Once they take that first step of physically touching a child they forfeit their right to any kind of mercy imo.
“It’s fun and glibly simplistic to vent and say you support all forms of troture and execution, but that is not what the people decided was appropriate punishment. If you don’t like it, go lobby your government and get the laws changed to allow a slow, torturous death”
I don’t feel fun or glib about this. I DON’T like it and I DO lobby my government. Children need to be protected, not the scum who uses them for his own deviant pleasure.
I think if this happened to some of you personally or the person you loved most in the world you’d quickly change your tune. God forbid it ever does.

If my mother, father, boyfriend, best friends, next door neighbours and dog were all rounded up and killed by one man, the very best tribute I could pay to them would be to not give in to my base, violent urges like the man who killed them did.
