No Merry Christmas for Bernie Madoff. |
|
Seems like he was confronted by some of his previous victims or their emissaries. Sorry Bernie, payback can be hell some times. :eyes: The ABC affiliate quotes sources as saying the 71-year-old Madoff had facial fractures, broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

3. Madoff facial fractures, broken ribs and a collapsed lung. "Foul-play is suspected - film at eleven" |

4. Gotta Watch Slipping and Falling |

in prison, you can get hurt. On a serious note, no one including Madoff deserves to be the victim of violence.

5. Nobody deserves to be attacked like that. |
|
I don't understand why there is such violence in prisons that can't be controlled.

12. It can be controlled. They choose to ignore it. |
|
Because being locked up in a tiny cell for the great bulk of your day isn't punishment enough. To get the real prison experience, you need to have the crap beaten out of you. I guess many don't mind having a more fucked up justice system than many 3rd world countries.

6. There's an odd kind of glee here |
|
I don't quite get why liberals who espouse peace and oppose torture would get such a kick out of physical violence.
Bernie Madoff is a criminal who deserves to be in prison. But no one deserves to be physically violated (not him, not Berlusconi). Shame on those who think broken ribs are the justice we extract for financial fraud. It's not the liberal way.

Are you sure you're not making them up in your head?

13. I'm looking at this thread, not some other thread. That is where |
|
the statement was made. It's probably best to stick to the comments in one thread, I think.

I doubt he celebrates Christmas. I don't think prison beatings or rapes are anything to celebrate or be thankful for. Having your wealth and freedom removed is pretty devastating in itself. 150 years is over a lifetime and Bernie will die in prison, hopefully from natural causes.
