that guy is awesome, damn. I want to start a petition to get him pardoned.
Agreed.
I say put him back in gen pop and then send all lifers for child crimes to his jail
Hell yeah. That guy's a hero. Don't know what he did in his former life, but he sure is earning his keep in his new one.
He murdered someone.
Now he's up to at least 3 people.

Yeah, but there is bad murdering someone (killing someone innocent) and there is good murdering someone (protecting society or serving justice) and then there is not murdering someone (convicted falsely.)
So far, knowing what we know about him now, it's suggestive that there is at least a decent chance that his original murder wasn't such a bad thing. We know nothing about it.

I'd rather not get into the dregs of figuring out when it's "okay to murder."

Well, here's a good rule of thumb: It's always ok to kill child molesters, politicians, and ticket scalpers.

Not just "ok", but I think you get a bonus from this. Like it is "ok" to kill in self defense, that's a neutral. But killing a child molester is a "good" and killing a child trafficker is an "excellent". He should get "offset credits" to other crimes based on those.

Also the crazy amount of money saved by having two less life-long prisoners.

Which is about $2.8 million per prisoner for 35 years, or about $81k per year. (in California) (if the cost doesn't increase every year, which it does)

Are you saying this is expensive or cheap?

Brazil: Murder rate spikes in Ceará state as police strike
The authorities in Brazil say 147 people have been murdered in the north-eastern state of Ceará in the first five days of a military police strike.
The homicide rate is five times higher than usual, despite the deployment of the army to patrol the streets. The violence has led to the cancellation of carnival festivities in several cities at what is the height of the summer holiday season. The police began their strike on 19 February, demanding a pay rise. -
Coronavirus: Iran's deputy health minister tests positive as outbreak worsens
Iran's deputy health minister and an MP have both tested positive for the new coronavirus, as it struggles to contain an outbreak that has killed 16.
The country is one of three hot-spots outside China causing concern that the virus could be becoming a pandemic. The deputy minister, Iraj Harirchi, had on Monday denied covering up the scale of the outbreak. He appeared to be in discomfort as he spoke to reporters. Iran has reported 95 cases, but the actual number is thought to be higher. The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said the sudden increase in cases in the country is "deeply concerning". -

He's got enough money to be able to pay for safety, even though he is a massive POS.

He will be so far from gen pop that it won't be funny... like Bill Cosby. He would have been murdered post haste if he had been anywhere near other prisoners.

Mario Cerciello Rega case: US students in Italian court over police murder
Two US students accused of murdering a police officer have appeared in court in Italy at the start of their trial.
Mario Cerciello Rega, 35, was stabbed to death last July as he investigated a drug deal gone wrong in central Rome. Californian students Finnegan Lee Elder and Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth face life sentences if convicted. The US students say they were acting in self-defence, believing the two officers - who they say did not identify themselves - were criminals. Rega's murder received huge amounts of attention in Italy. He had only just returned to duty from his honeymoon, and huge crowds turned out for his funeral at the same church where was married just 43 days before. But there have also been questions about how the case has been handled. -
Musicians Algorithmically Generate Every Possible Melody, Release Them to Public Domain
Two programmer-musicians wrote every possible MIDI melody in existence to a hard drive, copyrighted the whole thing, and then released it all to the public in an attempt to stop musicians from getting sued.
