<p>Well, Mr. Castro has committed suicide. I wonder how the victims feel about this.</p>
<p>[Ariel</a> Castro dead: Cleveland kidnapper commits suicide in prison - CNN.com](<a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/04/justice/ariel-castro-cleveland-kidnapper-death/index.html]Ariel”>http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/04/justice/ariel-castro-cleveland-kidnapper-death/index.html)</p>
<p>I heard about it this morning. </p>
<p>He’s a coward.</p>
<p>Yeah, on the one hand it makes me angry that he has evaded justice. On the other hand, the fact that the world is now less one sadistic sexual deviant won’t cause me any heartache.</p>
<p>I will be interested to someday hear what the victims think, if they ever choose to discuss it.</p>
<p>I’m glad that the taxpayers won’t have to pay for his incarceration. I think he did us all a favor.</p>
<p>VeryHappy…indeed!</p>
<p>Yes, thankfully, the tax-payers won’t have to support him for the rest of his life.</p>
<p>“These degenerate molesters are cowards,” Timothy J. McGinty said. “… This man couldn’t take, for even a month, a small portion of what he had dished out for more than a decade.”</p>
<p>How true!</p>
<p>This part annoys me for some reason…</p>
<p>The family is angry, he said, that it first learned about the death from media reports.</p>
<p>Really? That is what you’re angry about???</p>
<p>I was suspicious from the first that it was assisted suicide. JMHO</p>
<p>VeryHappy, that was my first thought as well. Let him rot…</p>
<p>Good riddance. I hope he enjoys hell.</p>
<p>He was in a solitary holding cell area with patrols every 30 minutes. I suspect that this slimeball was “afraid” of being transferred to his permanent prison because he knew that his reception from the inmates there wasn’t going to be too friendly. It’s just too bad that he didn’t off himself before the taxpayers had to shell out for his legal team and housing.</p>
<p>It just bothers me that he got out so easy. He had complete control until the end- something he never gave his survivors. </p>
<p>I am not an eye-for-an-eye person, but he deserved to have his life taken from him, not taken by him.</p>
<p>From the victims point of view, they will not have to see him ever in the years to come. Although he was behind bars, there is always a nagging in the back of your mind that he might get out. That is all gone. I think it will aid in the healing for the victims.</p>
<p>*He was in a solitary holding cell area with patrols every 30 minutes. I suspect that this slimeball was “afraid” of being transferred to his permanent prison *</p>
<p>I suspect that it was more of a hate of having others control him. He was used to controlling others, and likely felt that he had some right/entitlement to do so. Having others control him was probably torture for him (thankfully).</p>
<p>I also think he got off way too easy in the end. </p>
<p>Justice was robbed in that he didn’t get to experience in prison the abuse he exacted upon those women for 11 years</p>
<p>I know when one of the victims told him, “Your hell will start now” I just felt then, he would take the easy way out. No way would he put up with the abuse of others, give them the satisfaction. He wasn’t stupid…whether the lawyer knew that, Corrections, I don’t think anyone really cared. </p>
<p>Some will think his hell, judgement, is only beginning, but even without a religious angle, the world is without someone who caused great pain to others. Maybe someone would have interviewed him in the future, something to cause more pain if possible.
Their triumph will be living…I pray for their healing and strength to have a life that overshadows his evil.</p>
