Y'all are a bunch of bloodthirsty headline-readers.

Sources don't believe Ohebshalom was targeted because the assailant threatened a number of other people in custody as well.

This isn't a story about a slumlord being targeted for his past harms, it's just a story about how shitty prison safety standards are.

Not exactly the kind of thing I'd personally be celebrating. "Breaking people's face bones" shouldn't be a part of the US justice system, and the fact it was a part of that process - irrespective of the victim crimes - is a disgrace. Probably even worse is the number of stories of things like this that don't get published because the victim isn't click-generating.

Even if he was targeted for being a massive piece of shit, this is not a good story worth celebrating.

He used the wrong formula but got the right solution.
