I find a lot of the attitude around "Alligator Alcatraz" to be extremely gross.
Even if this is for murderers exclusively - I think that's weird to celebrate. I can be happy to be part of a society that removes dangerous people, and I'm not going to be sad if a serial killer gets stabbed in prison or whatever.
But I'm not going to celebrate that. I'm not going to get a hat with the name of the prison, I'm not going to take pictures of a sign.
It just feels like "I have someone I can justify hurting now" - and I think that's terrifying that so many people have that mind set.
(And I really doubt that most people that end up being picked up, are going to be anywhere near as severe as murderers and rapists.)
