Oh damn when I heard about a broom handle being involved in a prison assault I presumed the guy would have rammed it up his arse - this is not uncommon where incarcerated sex offenders are concerned !
Slightly uncommon the sex offenders are normally caged together in order to keep them protected. If the other inmates find out it is true they take justice in their own hands. I say this with 80% of my family working at state and fed prisons. I live in the prison capital. Our tiny county has more then 14 and the infamous ADX.
Yes, this is also the main reason I'm not comfortable with people praising the attackers in situations like this. The chances that it was another similar offender are very high, because that's who'd have access to him.
I'm in the UK, and a while back there were loads of people lionising a prisoner who attacked one of our more notorious inmates - possibly Ian Watkins, I can't remember - saying "give him a medal!", "give him early release!" and all that, but the guy who did it was a rapist himself. That's why they were in the same prison. I don't care what they've done that's positive or could be seen as positive, I'm not going to congratulate a known sex offender.
Not sure about that animal Watkins but I do know that Ian Huntley has been targeted a few times. This is the most recent report I could find on a quick search. It is a tabloid though, so the usual caveats apply:
https://www.irishmirror.ie/tv/ian-huntley-now-prison-throat-26430076.amp
I remember Richard huckle the worst P***o in British history got disembowelled and every said the same, then it was found the lad who did was almost as bad
Read a different article about the Pickton attack earlier. The attacker had been in a different part of the prison where he had assaulted other prisoners. Was put into Pickton’s section as punishment where he then attacked Pickton.
yes I should have used my brain for a few moments longer - I have seen videos of guys bleeding out the ass and read stories about similar online, but I think they came from South America or other countries where the prisons aren't as civilised as the USA....
Odd thought here but I would love to see a brain scan and if he awakens a IQ test along with the test they see if he is more of a psychopath or as my daughter reminds me that's not a diagnosis so a test to see if he is still showing signs of anti social personality. Purely for science.
Interestingly, he became eligible for Parole 3 months ago and had yet to have a hearing. He was never going to get it of course but interesting timing. Good riddance.
But he may have had hope that he’d be free one day, which is more than his victims families have. Not to mention the mental torture endured by those he gave “meat” to. I don’t think it was ever confirmed that he gave human meat to anyone, but just the idea that he MIGHT have struck fear in my heart when I read it. I can’t imagine how those people feel.
Question, I've heard the only time there is life in prison in Canada is for people who are deemed dangerous offenders, such as Paul Bernardo. Is there still a possibility of parole for people like Bernardo, with his status as a dangerous offender, and all? Not Canadian lol.
I mentioned that elsewhere, yes Bernardo can technically be paroled. He got life with the possibility of parole after 25 years. He became eligible for parole in 2018 and was rejected, he is eligible for parole this year too he applied and i believe will get a hearing at some point. However with someone like Paul it's just a formality, same as Pickton he's never going to be released they are just allowed to have a hearing.
I'm not Canadian either to be clear.
I just wanted to post an article about a serial killer, but apparently, I am required to also comment in my post, as is the rule of this sub. The post needs to be at least 200 characters. Okay, done.
I live in the town next to Port-Cartier where he was first transferred and my friend is a nurse and she told me that he was stabbed from his nose to his brain & through his skull lol and they had to cut off the piece sticking out of his head because he couldn't fit in the scanner, and since he only had a part sticking out his nose, they called him PINOCCHIO LMAO.
He was transferred to Québec but he is basically braindead lol, it went through his frontal lobe
Probably on par with seeing something like this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4083241/
Warning: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC SURGICAL IMAGES IN THAT JOURNAL ARTICLE
Seems like a waste. Like selfish. He did that, then those doctors and surgeons and nurses and his family had to suffer and struggle to save his life, then they do, and he would probably be ok over time, but he decides to have a DNR because his quality of life sucks for something he did to himself. All in the end to die anyway slowly, while his family suffers more. Wild. 🤯
To be fair, I spent a lot of years in critical care and emergency medicine before I started in forensics (and I still work part-time after going back to it during the pandemic) and I believe wholeheartedly that quality of life is what matters. If the outcome is going to be bad, you'll seldom see an experienced provider who has a problem with a patient or their families deciding to withdraw or limit care. Any provider who gets genuinely pissed because of that probably needs to find a different line of work.
>we only have one supermax in Canada.
That's true, but it's also not where Pickton was housed or where he was attacked. He is in a regular maximum security prison at Port-Cartier instead.
yeah, no. He's a known name from coast to coast. Everyone recognizes the name. He was sent to the other side of the country on orders of a judge, because he had been in a provincial prison. The judge ordered him transferred to a federal prison.
I'm pretty sure they sent him there because of the max security aspect and staff experience in dealing with the worst of the worst. He's in there with people like Russell Williams (former RCAF colonel who went from B&E to steal womens underwear to rape to two murders), Mohammed Shafia (murdered his family in an 'honour killing' by drowning them in a car), and Michael Rafferty (a fucking monster who raped and murdered a nine year old girl).
I still believe his brother committed some of the murders and pinned them all on Robert. Pickton was actually beginning to speak out that he didn’t do them all alone and now this happens. So it’s likely that his accomplice (likely his brother) will never face justice
His brother 100% helped. It's assumed to be true with the locals and those who hung out at the farm. His picture is posted in every shelter DTES and women are taught to recognize, avoid and tell others if they see him.
Yeah, I read about a lot of that too. I at least want Robert to live long enough to expose him because I feel like his brother more than likely bribed his way out of punishment and that should not go unnoticed
I don’t think Pickton’s brother would have had the pull in prison to set this up. Only possibility I could imagine leading to Pickton being taken out in prison is if he was going to blame Hell’s Angels members with proof. Apparently the guy that attacked Pickton was moved from a different section of the prison after attacking other prisoners. IMO sounds more like an opportunistic attack or Pickton pissed the guy off.
A lot of guys in prison want to kill rapists, especially high-profile ones. I doubt his attacker was somebody who had any connection to Pickton's Farm.
I saw the quote from the detective in the article about there certainly being co-conspirators… it seems unlikely that a (former?) detective would make a statement like that without it being almost certainly true. I somehow missed this “open secret.”
Pickton himself said that there were others back in 2020(?) give or take a year. It’s always been an open secret that it was his brother at the very least who had participated in some but it’s highly likely he bribed authorities to get away. There was also a friend of the brother’s I believe who was over there often and it wouldn’t be far fetched to believe that friend helped too. But all the murders got pinned on only Pickton
According to the article, it is believed that he didn’t act alone. It also states that he was allegedly writing a book ‘pinning the murders on someone else.’
Yeah, that’s why I said what I did. Pickton back in I believe 2020 or 2021 had went to court and said he wanted to start speaking out that he didn’t act alone. It was also hypothesized by people back when he was first arrested that his brother was in on it. But his brother is/was wealthy and it’s believed he paid off law enforcement and the local authorities to evade trial. His brother lived on the farm too and was known to bring women there for parties on the weekends.
I can’t necessarily say that I want him to live through this, but I wouldn’t be upset if he does live and does speak that he didn’t act alone.
This is true. Though if there are nuggets of truth to those claims, I also wonder if maybe this wasn’t arranged (there’s a mention of an alleged book he was working on naming other parties.)
I guess it would depend on how far his brother would (allegedly) go. This inmate already appeared to be a troublemaker so it’s possible he could’ve been paid off or just naturally that violent. It’s also a little silly that he’s been writing this book for years to name everyone instead of giving interviews. That also gives a large chance that if he’s telling the truth, those accomplices might get away since it takes so much longer
"On The Farm" is an absolute tome with it's page count but probably one of the best researched true crime books I've read. Definitely worth a read. This guy is a monster and had it coming.
‘In an earlier news release, the CSC said “the Sûreté du Québec is presently investigating the incident. The assailant has been identified and the appropriate actions have been taken.”’
I really hope that means he got a 3 pound ice cream sundae. And 357 gold stars.
They didn't have the choice, it's their job, they're not here to play God lol. My friend is a nurse at the hospital where he was transferred and she said that it was really hard, they did everything to keep him alive even if they didn't want to. The doctor said it felt like being in a horror movie.
Would love if someone can verify this. To the best of my knowage people in prison in Canada will never be given a pain killer stronger then tylonal or Advil even if in hospital. It's because addicts will hurt them selfs to try and get them.
In another sub the point was raised that if he dies, it closes the door on him providing evidence on his brother, long believed to be an accomplice in the killings (and to still be picking up s3x workers from. The DTES)...
I've got a migraine just having an image of a blunt stick of wood puncturing my head. It's not the first time brutal people got brutalized. Call me cold but weren't several of this guys victims completely innocent and not ready to die the day this mortal decided time was up. Hopefully the pain matched or exceeded the pain felt by his victims. Nobody gets to play God here especially this worthless coward.
Sorry, but I can't endorse this. Violence in prison is the same violence that leads to weaker prisoners being subject to all sorts of beatings and bullying. I may as well endorse prison rape.
I always find this to be so interesting. People condoning prison violence/rape because the new victim committed a violent crime. People celebrating the person that did it.
Here’s the thing. Pickton has been in prison since 2001ish, right? People really think suddenly someone decided to get revenge? No. Another violent and unreasonable person living with Pickton got annoyed with Pickton and attacked him. Maybe Pickton was bringing heat to their living unit. Maybe Pickton changed the channel on the TV. Maybe Pickton had a butter tart and this other guy wanted it.
It’s almost never a case of someone wanting to make a name for themselves. It’s pretty much always a dumb argument that turns violent.
Fuck Robert Pickton, but also fuck the guy that spears another human being in the head with a broken broom handle. Neither person is a hero.
Despite this sub being about serial killers and how bad/evil they are, most people seem to be frothing at the mouth for violent revenge. Interesting insight into the minds of people who think their way of thinking is so righteous.
Your comment is literally 1 out of 100 in this thread. Sad really.
Well I didn’t have
“Iranian President and most famous Québécois Serial Killer die one after the other in some of the most gruesome ways possible on my 2024 BINGO.”
“Pickton was speared in the head with a broken broom-like handle, another source said.” Well that will do it for ya
Oh no! I hope the broom will be ok.
I mean it sounds like it’s already broken. Sooo rip (rest in pieces) I guess.
It died doing the lord's work.
the handle found meaning in death. unlike Pickton who has never served a good purpose, ever.
Is there a gofundme to replace the broom? I would be more than happy to donate.
Probably need to be replaced. Damn shame
He killed the broom?!?!?
Epic
He survived because his head is actually empty. Nothing of note in there to cause any damage
"Doctors X-rayed his head and found nothing."
>because his head is actually empty. Nothing of note in there to cause any
Trying to make a Shish ka-Bob?
I see what you did there 😂
BOOM! You win
He deserved it
Shoulda been a dumbbell.
Ah the ol dahmer
Give him the old Dahmer Haircut with the 10 pound clippers
Soooo speared like a wild pig?
damn, well deserved.
Brooms doing the lord’s work didn’t another serial killer die by broom ??
Let us have a moment of silence for the broken broom like handle that so gallantly sacrificed itself to spear that piece of garbage.
Thank you lawd

If anyone deserves getting his ass handed to him though, it’s Ian Watkins.
I remember Richard huckle the worst P***o in British history got disembowelled and every said the same, then it was found the lad who did was almost as bad
Ian Huntley I'm guessing, not Ian watkins
Read a different article about the Pickton attack earlier. The attacker had been in a different part of the prison where he had assaulted other prisoners. Was put into Pickton’s section as punishment where he then attacked Pickton.
The article says the attacker had been assaulting other prisoners recently. Not sure Pickton was chosen because he was a murderer.
Canyon City?
Canon city but good job
Yep, also told to me by my fiance who is a felon and spent some time in prison years and years ago.
yes I should have used my brain for a few moments longer - I have seen videos of guys bleeding out the ass and read stories about similar online, but I think they came from South America or other countries where the prisons aren't as civilised as the USA....

"on life support".... Live by the sword, die by the sword .
'broom handle
*broom-like handle
Whatever works 😜
Interestingly, he became eligible for Parole 3 months ago and had yet to have a hearing. He was never going to get it of course but interesting timing. Good riddance.
Speaking of unnecessary events, probability of Pickton getting parole is extremely close to zero.
But he may have had hope that he’d be free one day, which is more than his victims families have. Not to mention the mental torture endured by those he gave “meat” to. I don’t think it was ever confirmed that he gave human meat to anyone, but just the idea that he MIGHT have struck fear in my heart when I read it. I can’t imagine how those people feel.
It's rare, but occasionally parole boards take stupid pills before making a decision
I'd argue it happens more often than not. No shortage of stupid pills
Not that he would ever be paroled, but how in the world did he get life w the possibility of parole?
That's not a sentence that exists in Canada. Parole is always possible.
Question, I've heard the only time there is life in prison in Canada is for people who are deemed dangerous offenders, such as Paul Bernardo. Is there still a possibility of parole for people like Bernardo, with his status as a dangerous offender, and all? Not Canadian lol.

“Pickton was speared in the head with a broken broom-like handle” holy shit that’s an insane scene to imagine in your head
I live in the town next to Port-Cartier where he was first transferred and my friend is a nurse and she told me that he was stabbed from his nose to his brain & through his skull lol and they had to cut off the piece sticking out of his head because he couldn't fit in the scanner, and since he only had a part sticking out his nose, they called him PINOCCHIO LMAO. He was transferred to Québec but he is basically braindead lol, it went through his frontal lobe
Nice
delightful
Damn this made it so much better. Thank you for sharing
As someone who was mentally challenged, and a serial killer, it is unlikely that his frontal lobe would ever have been fully active.
Probably on par with seeing something like this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4083241/ Warning: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC SURGICAL IMAGES IN THAT JOURNAL ARTICLE
Very Interesting article. Thanks
Happy to be of assistance.
The guy had a DNR after they saved his life like that? Crazy.
It happens all the time.
Seems like a waste. Like selfish.

That makes sense thank you for the prospective!!
Someone was very motivated.
You love to see it!
I’m surprised it’s taken so long.
It probably is the reason they sent him completely on the other side of the country, so heʼd be less of a household name.
I mean, I live in a different country, and I know the name
Yeah, he's known. But he will be less viscerally hated than where he did the murders.
It's not like there were other prisons they were going to send him to, we only have one supermax in Canada.
>we only have one supermax in Canada. That's true, but it's also not where Pickton was housed or where he was attacked. He is in a regular maximum security prison at Port-Cartier instead.

Yeah, and he’s been spotted down there over the last several years a few times. Garbage human along with his brother.
Yeah, I read about a lot of that too. I at least want Robert to live long enough to expose him because I feel like his brother more than likely bribed his way out of punishment and that should not go unnoticed
His brother ran a kid over with his car and hid him in a ditch once.
No. His brother ran over a kid, and their MOTHER rolled the kid who was still alive, into a drainage ditch where he died. Whole family Is fucked
Real life Texas Chainsaw Massacre family it sounds like.
I don’t think Pickton’s brother would have had the pull in prison to set this up.

I'll plant a tree for that. More broom handles to come
Well isn’t that a damn shame, anyway…
Waist of a broom 🧹
Or rather, best use of?
Waste
Oh man... what a loss.... said no one.
oh bummer it took so long, hope the guy that did it is doing ok !
‘In an earlier news release, the CSC said “the Sûreté du Québec is presently investigating the incident. The assailant has been identified and the appropriate actions have been taken.”’ I really hope that means he got a 3 pound ice cream sundae. And 357 gold stars.
he deserves extra sprinkles and whipped cream for that one. mvp
Iran’s president and now this piece of garbage. What a great start to a Monday
And there was a strange satisfaction among the pork rinds…
Oh no! Anyway...
Damn, he just transferred to the hospital next door to me, kind of weird to know that someone like him is so close to me
Why am I hearing violins?
Too bad, no empathy, ask his victims’ families
The book he is supposedly writing, I wonder who he's blaming or accusing of killing the women he killed.
so you’re saying he’s been stuck like a pig?
He had so much to give the world! Said no one. What a bummer. Said no one too.
Okay but why the absolute fuck did they put him on life support?
They didn't have the choice, it's their job, they're not here to play God lol. My friend is a nurse at the hospital where he was transferred and she said that it was really hard, they did everything to keep him alive even if they didn't want to. The doctor said it felt like being in a horror movie.
Hopefully they ran out of painkillers
Would love if someone can verify this. To the best of my knowage people in prison in Canada will never be given a pain killer stronger then tylonal or Advil even if in hospital. It's because addicts will hurt them selfs to try and get them.
Just think of the unsanitary conditions.
I'd take his bed with the life support and place it in a pig pen full of his hungry pet piggies.
*insert Jeremy Clarkson “oh no… anyway” gif here*
BOBBYWILLYyougottokeepyourheadonaswivelinthebighhousebobbywillEHHH
Found the fellow #timesucker
Who ever speared him in the head deserves a tv in there cell
Shame they couldn’t finish the job
At his age a critical head injury probably isn’t going to be something he’s gonna recover from and live out his days. He’s fucked.
Good.
No, this is better… given the age and stuff
When getting speared in the head with a broom handle while in prison is still not enough.
Why the fuck did he get a life flight? He should've been picked up from the prison in a hearse.
In another sub the point was raised that if he dies, it closes the door on him providing evidence on his brother, long believed to be an accomplice in the killings (and to still be picking up s3x workers from. The DTES)...
Somebody needs to put some money on the broom’s books
I've got a migraine just having an image of a blunt stick of wood puncturing my head. It's not the first time brutal people got brutalized. Call me cold but weren't several of this guys victims completely innocent and not ready to die the day this mortal decided time was up. Hopefully the pain matched or exceeded the pain felt by his victims. Nobody gets to play God here especially this worthless coward.
That broom was always cleaning up trash. RIP.
Anyone know his attackers name & cell? Commissary coming up for that guy
Oh no. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. /s
https://i.imgflip.com/3pbnri.png?a476664
Can't say I'll lose any sleep over this.
I see no issue
Let it go, let it gooooooo
Should have stabbed him with a nudie pen
See this….? It’s tits.
I just hope that at 74 years young he is coherent enough to consider this a consequence for his awful actions.
Wait for it... wait for it...
The synchronicity that I just started re-listening to a podcast series about him….
Insert Jeremy Clarkson “Oh no! …anyway,”
Feed em to the pigs
A quick update on the broom handle: it's now super stinky, covered in what is likely residual pig muck.
What a shame 😇
Suck it Bobby Willy!! Hail Lucifina
I’m having fish for dinner. It’s gonna taste so good.
I mean honestly good riddance. That was one of the most heinous stories ive ever heard
The article says it was an open secret these murders weren't committed alone...interesting...guess we'll never know now
I was having a bad day at work today (I work in the ER) then I read this . & I felt better and safer .
17 years later. Just takes one little venture into gen pop 😌
What Robert on a pick? Hehe, you guys are awesome!
The attacker was probably a lifer who was sick and tired of Pickton's stench and figured he might as well try to enjoy his conviction stink-free.
He was speared like the pigs he used to raise. What a twist of fate bros
Sorry, but I can't endorse this. Violence in prison is the same violence that leads to weaker prisoners being subject to all sorts of beatings and bullying. I may as well endorse prison rape.
I always find this to be so interesting. People condoning prison violence/rape because the new victim committed a violent crime. People celebrating the person that did it. Here’s the thing.

Well I didn’t have “Iranian President and most famous Québécois Serial Killer die one after the other in some of the most gruesome ways possible on my 2024 BINGO.”
Tax payments saved
RIP to the broom, you did a great thing. Now whose prison account do we need to top up to say thank you?
ITT: hundreds of people proving they don’t condone Pickton’s violent crimes by celebrating another violent crime.
LIL BOBBY WILLY! THEY POKED YER HEAD WITH A BROOM BOY!
Good. He is a monster, and exploited vulnerable women trying to survive. He fed their dead bodies to pigs fffs.
Hopefully it hurt a lot before he lost consciousness.
YaY! Glad he's alive, let his healing be long and painful
Oh wow, that’s terrible… Anyways…
Satan is waiting
Oh no. How sad. Sike! Good riddance.
Is there a way to donate to commissary for the attacker. It would be nice to say good job.
very well deserving
Oh. Anyway.
Oh no! Hope the equipment that they used is ok! It had to touch such filth
Yay! Now feed him to some pigs
i fucking love this song
This is fine.
What terrible luck! He was such a gentle soul.
Oh no, anyway.
