he was 'killed in the most brutal way possible

He was reportedly housed on a wing alongside murderers, killers, rapists and paedophiles, whom he (Watkins) branded "the worst of the worst"

It's fucked up how hard the article goes into trying to garner sympathy for this guy. His crimes are horrific, and he was in that wing because he is the worst of the worst

i dont see it as garnering sympathy i see it as justice being done. everybody wanted to see this finally happen. I'm glad he died in the most brutal way possible. he deserved it

I just wish it had happened on his last day in prison instead

Loved that band back in the day.

Haven't listened since his arrest. Rest in piss you sack of shit.

I wasn't into them, they had a style that wasn't my thing for some reason I forget, however two things were crazy about that time:\

  1. Understandably the band was insanely popular, with their band logo graffiti'd practically everywhere, people wearing their shirts, etc.\
  2. How quickly everything got taken down.

It was like the verdict came out, and within a week there was absolutely no sign of the band existing.

Same. Really pisses me off of how bad it was too. Opened my eyes to celebrities being human.

Dude was a monster but I still don’t like murder in prisons. Shits shitty.

Finally some good news...

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought they normally put child abusers in a separate part of the prison, specifically because this is common?

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

im pretty sure he was already there. this might have been another drug dispute. wouldnt be the first time he was stabbed in prison over it either 😂

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Fucking finally.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago

Guess 2025 was his last summer

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just got banned (again) from the red site for simply saying "good" under one of these posts. Reddit actively loves pædos.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

thats strange, the thread on /r/poppunkers has a ton of comments like that

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

Might be a community specific thing. I mass deleted everything, but the comment was under tiltokcringe which I bigger sub probably had some of his fan girls/guys in there.

I don't want to click the link....what band was he in?

[–] WALLACE@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Lost Prophets. Fairly big around the late 90's-00's until this guy was found to be a gigapedo

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for that. I'll be sure to avoid anything by them.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

shouldnt be too hard they arent really streaming anywhere but guitar hero world tour and lego rock band have their song "rooftops" in the game. always weird having to play that :/
