If you murder a high-profile child murderer or paedophile, you can establish yourself as a dangerous man. That has some value.”

I don't think that's the reason for killing pedos. Rather the fact that this adult has hurt or abused a child. Those criminals have always been a target. Nothing new as far as I know.

Everyone has something to lose.

For a prisoner doing 40 years,they lose their opportunity to leave their cell. They lose access to luxury goods like tvs.

Eventually they get put in solitary confinement...

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
