Good, fuckem

 

[Boomb]

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

I know there was a previous knife attack on him a while back, where he survived but sustained injuries

Always bizarre to me because I was a fan of Lostprophets in school. It still gives me insane nostalgia even knowing what Watkins did

 

[Max Power]

Had to live out the last couple of years of his life fearing the very way in which he was eventually got. The most fitting end.

 

[Meatspin]

Pity it took so long. Bye rockspider.

You love to see it.

I'd have preferred for him to suffer into old age.

 

[Spounman]

Yeah that's usually what happens to them in prison

 

[FléauDeDieu]

For the day that's in it.

Gotta say, dude lasted pretty long in there for being a literal baby rapist.

I guess he ran out of protection money.

The music video for a town called hypocrisy is the creepiest music video of all time given the context.

The premise of the music video is that the lead singer of the band (guy who was killed in jail in the opening post) is hosting a live action kids show but the kids show has secret adult sex jokes thrown in it and after each episode ends all the actors party and do drugs. The premise of it is things aren't always how they appear on the outside.

What makes it absolutely terrifying is in real life the lead singer was molesting babies at the time and was even preying on single moms that were fans of the band.

Essentially the premise of music video was happening in real life and nobody knew it. Even creepier that they were presenting that message with a kids show.

 

[Fury]

I'm surprised he lasted this long

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Weren't they promoted in SRN back in the day? I think that's how I heard of them.

On that, I hope the fame obsessed cunts who sacrificed their own kids to this piece of shit, meet a similar fate.

I must be too old. I don't remember these guys at all, and only heard of them once this story broke. They were apparently a semi-big deal at one time.

I read he tried to rape a toddler....

I hope it was a slow painful death

 

[LEWIS540]

Even by child rapist standards, that guy stoop out as particularly deprived

One of those where he should have topped himself years ago. No redemption remotely possible.
