It's a prison for christs sake....... why this should make the news is beyond me, the next headline will be "Rolf Harris - Called a nasty name".
If he had been stabbed, burned, badly beaten, that qualifies as vigilantism, name calling, spitting happens on football fields and school playgrounds everyday.
It's not much of a news story, I agree. But I don't think anyone was saying that spitting qualifies as vigilantism - they were making a more general point.

Spitting is a pretty disgusting thing, but why a prisoner spitting at another prisoner is a news story, I don't know. It's not as though prisons are places of exceptional behaviour.

It'll likely be a case of the spitter wanting a 'pat on the back' from his mates in there. A case of, hey, I spat at the paedophile.
Hardly........ trying to convince me that spitting is a form of vigilantism or name calling for that matter is a form of punishment, is crazy.
Vigilantism to me is a serious punishment that is believed to match the crime, a face full of phlegm is, I don't think, serious punishment.
There should be no justification for spitting on someone, more still from an individual whom being incarcerated at Her Majesty's pleasure, cannot boast about being the arbiter of morality.

Rolf Harris gets treated in exactly the same way as every other prisoner?? Oh, the shock,where's the humanity. Come on folks, this is PRISON, people aren't in there due to their gentillity and manners are they?
Nice touch of anti Catholic bigotry there, we all know there are no Protestant paedos don`t we?
Tbf we don't know about any institutional process for protecting them that the Protestant Church has. Catholic Church, on the other hand, seem to treat it as a fact of doing business.

I imagine if prison staff only had to cope with inmates spitting at each other and them, whilst pretty gross, their jobs would be a lot easier than tackling the current violence they deal with day to day.
So in Anne_666s prison, chopper Harris who murdered 12 people in cruel and gruesome circumstances would go up to Rolf and say 'Jolly poor show Rolf, what beastly crimes, for that, I'm not going to talk to you for a month.
One is someone who has spat at the other, I assume once, the other one has sexually abused children multiple times in what was a calculated, planned and for some, a life changing manner.
I agree the spitter is far worse........
Do you know what the "spitter" is in prison for?. As far as I know his crime hasn't been published in the press, so for all you know he could be a murderer, left someone disabled, be a rapist or a myriad of other things.
He wasn't in prison for smiling too much and being nice to people you know.
Maybe engage brain before banging away in keyboard warrior mode.
If anyone can make Rolf feel as scared and vulnerable as his victims then i'm glad. He got away with it for SO long he deserves a rough ride and not a cushy few years

Exaggeration doesn't help your point at all.
Did you type that while looking down your nose?

Yup..............

I've not heard of any. Can you provide a link, or links that show there's paedophiles in the Protestant Church? Or a link.
Spitting, whilst unpleasant and unacceptable, is hardly akin to severe violence.

They are disgusting, and prison is what they deserve.
Aye aye captain, your assertiveness and presence has cowed me into submission, I will, moving forward, post in a way that pleases you and you only.
Your loyal servant.
I wouldn't have asked the question if I wasn't serious.
Of course, whatever you make up I'll agree with.
Is that better?
Yup..
Good! Someone has to consider your blood pressure.:D
