can't believe ilx has no lostprophets thread

yup

that mirrored walls and ceiling thing sounds like an acute form of psychological torture, i hope no latterday ceaucescus and pahlavis are reading i love music

like bentham's panopticon, which it uncannily inverts, it demonstrates how 'humane' corrective methods that attempt to encourage self-reflection tend towards the sinister

it's one of those staring-you-in-the-face bits of etymology - that the radical, humane idea in imprisonment 200 years ago was a building designed to encourage prisoners to be penitent

haha I would have no expectation other than autogenerative torture for such an arrangement. really though I can only attempt to convey the futility of dealing with (or considering how to deal with) such a criminal in any rational manner

that mirrored walls and ceiling thing sounds like an acute form of psychological torture

was abt to say I do appreciate that I can click on this thread and find an ilx-y take on the "I'd fucking sew his asshole closed and keep feeding him" type sentiment that lit up my FB feed in the Christmas runup

LOL at "America doesn't punish elites!" Europe doesn't CONVICT elites, does convict everyone else accused by the cops, guilty or not.

Show me a criminal justice system that works. I prefer the one that occasionally deliberately acquits people whose guilt have not been proven, but they all stink.

plenty already on ilx (much of it iirc courtesy of harbl) about the prison economy & why it means that sentencing will not relent any time soon

Lobbyists for the private prison company GEO Group convinced lawmakers to include almost $1 million extra in funding despite the fact that the Arizona Department of Corrections claimed the money wasn’t needed.

Late last Friday, Arizona House Appropriations Chairman John Kavanagh (R-Fountain Hills) placed the extra funding into the budget because GEO Group’s lobbyists informed him that the company wasn’t profiting enough off of emergency beds it provides Arizona prisons.

She also told Watkins she thought they had a “deep connection that couldn’t be matched” and signed off one message: “Child molesters till we die.”

"But he said she claimed she kept the images to trap Watkins and bring him to justice. She denies seven charges in relation to the images."

It looks like in the face of unassailable guilt she is trying the old absolute bollocks "doing it for a noble reason" Pete Townsend defence.

hey it worked for Pete Townsend tbf

the remaining lostprophets bros have a new band with former thursday frontman geoff rickly called no devotion, everything they've released has been really great

i think united nations is an on-again-off-again concept with a revolving cast (except rickly). i saw them live at fest though, they killed

great expired domains of our age

Liquidators were unable to pay a small number of creditors, who were owed several thousand pounds.

A final creditors' meeting for Goonies Touring Ltd was held on the 17 December 2014 and the company was formally dissolved.

Watkins, 37, is still entitled to receive royalties and publishing fees for recordings, but cannot benefit from any earnings in prison.

The singer was also the sole director of dormant company Made in Hell Ltd, which has also been recently wound up.

The other former members of Lostprophets have been touring with their new band No Devotion after joining forces with American lead singer Geoff Rickly last year.

what precisely are you bumping this for

would be very surprised if his penis and testicles remain attached to his body for more than a few months

lol

he's well and good in the system we hope

nice to see you in this thread deems

and in such fine fettle too

"This case causes a very disturbing reaction for anyone who has anything to do with it. We accept these matters are very serious," she said. "But by pleading guilty my client averted the need for a most distressing and unpleasant trial for all those concerned, especially a jury.

ilx level whos-really-the-bad-guy-here stuff

the guy who wanted to rape infants?

afl != ilx tbtf

No, the guy who bumped the thread. (xp)

deems did you see the photo of the paedophile who was castrated prior to being lynched in a mexican jail? do you feel that this a possibly viable direction for prison vigilantism in future?

I feel that the expense of keeping yr nonces separate from general must be looked at in light of budgetary constraints certainly if that leads to a somewhat higher occurrence of such events I'm not for it but these are hard times and the money is surely better spent in local communities or easing the burden on the squeezed middle dont u agree nakh

The "squeezed middle" Lol! I hope your fucking boilers collectively implode tonight and y'all fucking die!

sigh

i believe you've read me at cross purposes there xelab

and we've only got one boiler btw

but

and maybe this is just unfortunate coincidence or its yr go-to instruction or w/e

if you make one more crack at me alluding to death in a fire I'm going to stop applying benefit of the doubt and genuinely get upset.

there's nothing wrong with just saying retributive justice is a foundational element within rural irish culture and leaving it and that

if you can't play to type from a nakh layup in a lostprophets thread then the paedos have won

You are so obtuse at the best of times dm what do fucking expect?

idk man there are ways to meet obtuseness that aren't complete fly-off-the-handle responses the likes of which you tend towards

but rly tbh I'm not even sure that partic mock Tory councillor paragraph wasn't more obvious than you're allowing for, but hey its late here and maybe I'm just that subtle idk

Joanne Mjadzelics: Ian Watkins' ex cleared over abuse images

Speaking through tears after the not guilty verdicts she said: "I shouldn't have even been here - just for doing the police's job that they couldn't be arsed to do."

Ms Mjadzelics reported Watkins to police and social services in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 to raise the alarm over his child sex crimes.

But a court heard police refused to collect the phone and computer of Mjadzelics after she told them he had sent her indecent images of a "very young girl being raped".

Within months she had a tattoo of the initials of his full name - IDKW - on her back, a "big mistake" which she has since had changed.

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan) wrote this on thread GET INVOLVED - will Liverpool win the Premiership 2013/14? on board I Love Everything on Apr 12, 2014

idkw deems means either when he tries for gnomic and ends up somewhere on the verges of inarticulate

oh.
