(8,556 posts)130. Absolutely. And another irony . . .
Many of the predators who victimize pedophiles don't stop at pedophiles. They are sociopaths and are looking to victimize anybody who is an easy mark. And a whole lot of these keyboard commandos who justify this stuff would themselves be easy marks if they found themselves in prison.
Once they were face to face with Bubba and his gang buddies, the might see the situation differently. The ultimate irony is that some of them would end up requesting protective custody where they would end up spending the rest of their sentence surrounded by . . . pedophiles. And they'd find that they would much rather do their time with them than with the violent gang members whose behavior they previously justified.

The dark sarcasm by the teachers was about crushing youthful creativity. I prefer this cage song:

As I said upthread, news to me too--I thought it was the steroidal giant named "Tiny" who got that

Nah. If someone mentions "Bubba" in an anticipatory way, that's what they're hoping for.

So you're averring that this mythical "Bubba" could just as easily beat a child molester with a lead

They have prisons with wings full of child molesters, rapists, etc. He could go to one of those.
