DE: Inmate Kills Registrant Cellmate
Troopers responded to the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in the town of Smyrna at about 8:13 a.m. on Monday, police said. Authorities determined that Cameron killed Philip Langell, 69, who was serving a 20-year sentence for rape in the first degree against a victim under 12 years of age. Officers did not reveal the alleged motive.
Langell died at the scene from injuries to the head and neck, and from asphyxiation, police said. Wounds to his head, face and neck were consistent with strikes from a closed fist, according to authorities. Basically, state police suggested Cameron at least in part beat Langell to death.
[FAC COMMENT: This hack journalist mentions the victim is a “child rapist” in the original title and his first sentence, as if that excuses the murder or mitigates the tragedy. Also the comments on the story are pretty horrible]
Reading the comments section of that article shows the dehumanizing effect it has on the readers who was rooting for the convicted murderer of killing his cellmate because the writer labeled him a “child rapist”. Imagine how different the comments would’ve been if that label was left out…
I disagree with you. Browse the comments of any other article with this subject across facebook or a news site and you’ll see the comments are exactly the same. There are probably hundreds of comments posted every minute on FB cheering on or wishing for the death of RSOs. This is the mind of the average american. This is why will never make progress, despite dedicated generous and skilled attorneys on our side. Hate beats empathy in the sick, twisted American psyche. There is no stopping the tide of hate. The question is, what are you going to do about it?
I wasn’t aware I was suppose to do anything about it other than living a decent life and let others see that I am not the label society has put upon me.
Of course since you brought the question up in the first place I think it’s fair of me to ask you: “What are YOU going to do about it?”
EVERYONE should get involved. If life is good for you and your happy and content then why are you here. In this issue, it is comfortable to sit back and watch what others are doing to help YOU. Not preaching but being real. With 917,000 men, women, teens, and children citizens required to register and approximately 2.5 million family members we should be a bit further down the road.
Vicki – no where in my comments did I ever say that life is good for me and that I am happy and content. I was merely addressing a condescending question “What are YOU going to do about it?” directed at me with a condescending answer to klm. I hope that clarifies any misunderstanding.
As for me I have been actively participating with ACSOL for years (since I’m from CA) and donating what little money I have to the cause in the hopes of eradicating the Registry. I write letters to Sacramento at lawmakers in protest to whatever bills are pushed through that will further oppress us.
To be honest I think this conversation has strayed waaaaaay off course from the topic at hand because my original comment was an observation about the public’s vindictive response to a murdered inmate…
He IS involved by letting others see that he is not the label society has put upon him.
ALL registrants must strive to do this. If you want any hope of seeing positive change, you must first be an ambassador and set a good example. If instead you declare America to be sick and twisted and call for armed insurrection or whatnot, then you are not helping yourself or the movement.
Vicki I am thankful for your ongoing contributions but feel you are attacking the wrong person here.
Jacob, I appreciate your input but think about this. How many registrants are out there? 917,000. Now that is a significant number then add-In their adult family members. Many neighbors and people in authority see the exemplary life they live. Now how many laws across the nation have been or are poised to become law this year?
Without question.
Please tell us Vicki – how many laws across the nation have been or are poised to become law this year?

To add to Vicki’s observation— on almost any given day, day a state legislator somewhere has imagined a new way to crack down on registered sex offenders and their families. We rely on state advocacy organizations and their legislative committees to stay one step ahead of their proposed legislation. But that takes a tremendous amount of volunteer work, as our legislative committee volunteer(s) can attest. So this would be a good area for more of us to get involved.
Vicki if that’s not what you meant, feel free to correct.
‘any given day’ my damned typos
Another way to get involved would be to educate the masses by changing the terms we use (i.e. person-first) and get rid of the derogatory words. Terms like retarded are no longer part of our language and the ‘n’ word has gone by the wayside.

Bill, that’s what this guy is doing and he got murdered. It does not matter if you are good person, rehabilitated, care for your neighbors, etc. It does not matter how hard we advocate using civil means. Judges are only interested in getting reelected by appeasing the American public represented by the commentors on that article. As for what I’m going to do about it, I’d gladly say but FAC would edit it out so there is no point in trying.
Are we on the same topic? This is about a murdered inmate…
And btw…as long as you leave out the cuss words and acts of terror you can still say what you are going to do about it…
I meant to refer to the other article, and I apologize if I came off condescending that was not my intent. My point is that no matter how good we try to be, everyone still cheers for rso deaths. The American public does do not have any empathy or respect for human rights. They are only controlled by fear, masterfully by police and politicians. Right now we are weak. We write brilliant motions to judges with no integrity to be heard in kangaroo courts. I’ve been following this issue long enough to know that. We need to make them fear us too – fear the retribution of a million “monsters” they created. Even if it doesent work, we at least get revenge, which is realistically the best to hope for.
Yeah well we witnessed those kind s of acts unfold when Watchmen Wolverine attempted to kidnap the governor of Michigan and when angry rioters stormed the Capitol earlier this year. All that really did was furthering the resolve of politicians in their politics. Or are you suggesting BLM style havoc? That’s a mix bag of results at best.
No KLM spreading fear for RSO’s is a path of failure. Changing the narrative is key in turning the tide. I know that’s harder work but consider this: day by day more prominent people are being labeled as RSO’s like politicians such as Anthony Weiner and there will be a time when this country will hit a critical threshold when a record number of RSO’s will become to big to ignore that we have a systemic problem with our justice system and those former politicians will begin to speak up is when the tide begins to turn.
My sis-in-law has to register. I’d like to know what I can do to change things. She has 3 young children, her conviction was for a 17 year old. Only evidence was his word. This RSO stuff is over the top. We are scared to death she will get violated again and have to go to prison. What can I do?

What county and state is your sister in law in? Are you in the same county?
Florida 😞 Okaloosa
BdhaGrl:
The first thing you have to do is look after your sister in law. Fortunately, you are right around the corner from the Georgia line. Someone posted here that Georgia removes some people from the registry. The Georgia statute is 42-1-19. Read the statute and contact an attorney in Georgia. Your sister in law can do a lot more if you can get her off of the registry.
Also, check into Michigan. Once Does II becomes final, everyone whose offense date precedes 2012 will either be removed from the registry or receive a date certain for removal in Michigan.
Get meetings going. Reach out to Escambia County because they have a larger population.
I wish you and your sister in law the best.
‘That’s what he was doing and he got murdered.’ Well, yes, but you left out the part where he was sharing a cell with a convicted murderer. Don’t you think that had a little something to do with it?
The fact is that for someone in the community to be murdered for being registered, is about as common as a child being kidnapped by a stranger.
I meant to refer to the guy in the other article
Current Evnts such that one hopes RSO’s still on American minds
Good point KLM.
This sickness is akin to any of the types of mass hatred that we have seen through the centuries.
Only martyrs and extremism have altered any paradigm of hatred.
What, indeed, are we really prepared to do to confront it?
My two cents worth. The question is, Why was someone convicted / accused of a sex crime put in the same cell with someone convicted/accused of murder? Was this done on purpose?
This to me is like putting a cat in the same cage with a Rottweiler. Seems awful suspicious to me. And of course the guy is pretty much doing life so he will probably enjoying going to trial as that gets him a ride to the court house and a look at the scenery along the way.
My guess Jack is they both were in PC, maybe the murderer was a rat or something, i cant see the nit wits putting the S O in the general population with a murderer, yes most likely they were both in PC.

It’s interesting that the authorized waited a year before charging the guy with murder.
We are the problem. Given pur numbers we can make change happen. Example Senator Lauren Book is up for re-election. I will train ANYONE interest to easily harness the community and get here voted out.
I commented on Dan Abrams site. He has a crime show and has been a go-to person for the media. I will also find an email for him and let him know this intentional action and the way it was written will go to legislators.
So the Idiocracy that is those who feel the killer did a service for society, don’t seem to acknowledge the fact that the killer also killed a father of 4! Maybe the 4 children should be allowed to seek revenge on this killer, and those who condone his actions? I mean it’s ridiculous to ever believe that we will be free from such people, who would favor such actions upon people on the registry, despite the battles that are waged for our freedom. It will come down to an actual revolt being necessary, it’s the only thing dead brain American’s truly understand.
I like to say good riddance to bad rubbish.
