Unfortunately murderers are held in high regard in prison and a murderer who killed a registrant will be treated like a rock star especially if he has a release date

That is why some of these ‘Knuckleheads’, Tattoo ‘STUFF’ Near the sides of their EYES, mostly Tattoo ‘Teardrops’, to Signify, Usually a MURDER, but sometimes also a long prison sentence and/or gang affiliation(s)…
In my day I could stand up against almost any of them.. Iv had a couple of men over the years tell me they were gonna beat my A** because of my status. Thankfully I learned how to defend my self early in life. Most have regretted the day they put there hands on me. But since we can’t own a firearm I would be dead just like this guy. And I’m getting older and self defense gets harder. This registry has got to go. One day I’ll just be an old guy who won’t be able to take down these young moron vigilantes anymore. Then what?
Then you rescue a pit bull from the local shelter, you put a ball pean hammer in your back pocket or a chain with a pad lock attached. If you are approached by someone with unknown intent and you can’t create distance then you close distance and take away his gun advantage. It’s not your weapon or age that will save you it’s your tactics and situational awareness.
In Nebraska you have to do half of your top and bottom numbers in order to be released early. Just wish the state would fire up old sparky ending his life sending a message murder won’t be tolerated. Even though I don’t live there anymore I have deep connections to the state and we’ll raise hell if he gets released in 20-35 years.

I disagree. Executing someone does not punish them (Well they have to face God). I think doing time every day waking up knowing you have no privacy, crappy food, Beds full of crabs, not getting to see your family unless they come visit you for a few hours per month etc.
I think it is way more punishment to keep them alive. I made it through my time, however, if I ever got sent back, I think I would make them shoot me. I sometimes think the Health care in prison is worse than in North Korea.
Almost died until I got the Chaplin to call my parents, who hired a lawyer to get me help. I was hours from death. Doctor kept saying nothing was wrong with me. After lawyer called the head of the prison, doctors found I was in full liver failure.
So in my opinion, let the bastard wake up every day and say to himself “Well, Hell, this sucks”. And, he is also punishing his family by his actions.

Yeah I was trying to say that as far as the article goes, the two had no real connection. In Other words, he didn’t molest the guys kids. Very rarely do you see the family of the victims go after someone and many do not even show up to court if they know you are going to plead guilty or take a plea deal.
I could kind of understand if it was his child or relative who was the victim, and he took revenge. But to risk going to jail and being taken away from your own family because someone disgusts you, is paramount to insanity. Hope he enjoys the instant mash potatoes, government green beans and half cooked chicken they serve.
The good news for James Fairbanks: He is going to spend the next 40-70 years in the same prison as other murderers, sex-offenders, and other “upstanding citizens” just like himself. That in itself is “poetic justice.”
Maybe someone should start a website that has information on all vigilante actions across the US, their photos, their address, the cars they drive, where they work, whom they associate with, etc.
The world needs to know if they are living next door to a potential murderer so they can protect themselves and their families.
Actually the initial news reports misstated the sentence.
Fairbanks got 30-50 years for second degree murder, and 10-20 on the gun charge. They are concurrent, i.e., being served at the same time.
Fairbanks served a year and 2 months up to thus point so he can be out on parole as early as May 2040.
While he got 70 years total, he actually would spend at most 50 years but out in 30 with good time. With any luck, he does the full 50 but you know he won’t, and he could get out healthy enough to continue his killing spree.
The Omaha newspaper reported Fairbanks can get out on parolein as little as 20 years. There are people in prison for longer for looking at pictures.
Nebraska just told vigilantes that they won’t punish you harshly for murdering a registered person.
