Your most recent comments seem to be attracting some oppobrium here.
You can and do say that the convicted person here (a child sexual abuser and murderer) should not have broken the law. This is easy to agree with.
You can and do say that other inmates should mete out some barbaric physical justice due to the nature of the crime committed.
I can't agree with this - it means you are advocating breaking the law when you subjectively determine it is merited.
With some horror which I am sure you will share - that second part has been used by people convicted of similarly horrific crimes in their defence where they have subjectively determined their actions were merited in some way or another.
Inadvertently you would then find yourself in mental alignment with these offenders - something I am sure you would not want.
Whilst the darker emotional part of our minds may wish for such a thing to happen, the rational parts make us realise that it should not.
It is contradictory to espouse unlawful violence to be carried out on someone in these circumstances - even those convicted of the most heinous of crimes.
If people are dissatisfied with the punishments available within our justice system, advocating for it to change would be the best way forwards.
Finally to your comments regarding your ability to judge people's appearance and determine their proclivity towards offending of this nature.
Your initial comment was met with some humour and a little consternation.
It does have some real life impact though as we live in a society where some may make negative judgements on others based on race, gender, religion, nationality, age etc.
It seems there have been a number of opportunities to reduce any concern but you have responded with deflection
I don't know why you would do that but I ask if things are currently okay with you?
I'm suggesting a couple of outcomes here... (I am sure others will be suggested!)
You could say...
I made a lighthearted comment - it's not what I truly believe - sorry it's been taken that way - can we move on?
or
You could say...
I meant the comment - I do believe I can judge people solely on their physical appearance.
I have some prejudices that I am open about on this forum.
You may decide to make no further comment here as well.
Finally, thank you for your reviews - they are detailed, informative and written in a very straightforward manner hence my question above as to how you currently are?
