    I get tired of how people "feel sorry for people who were vicious and mean towards others when something happens to that person.I don't wish it on anyone.But I don't care either when it happens to someone of an ill nature.Its called KARMA.What goes around comes around.

    Do you feel bad for Saddam too? What about Bin Laden - poor lad hes changed now :roll:

    I take no joy in seeing a man ruined but I don't feel sorry for a cruel man that lived by the sword so sadistically and died by the same sword

    I tend to agree with this. Did it deserve to happen to McClellan? I don't think so. It's sad for his family. But i can't say i feel sorry for him considering what an absolute piece of **** human being he was. And i don't think the bait he used to throw at his killer dog (and timing how long the kill took) would skip a breath over McCllellan struggling to put a sentence together, either. Nor his own dog which he shot after he wasn't satisfied with its fight performance. :-(

    Thanks for posting the video. According to this months Ring magazine, in his gym in the UK Brendan Ingle apparently has signs on the wall that read "Boxing is Extrememly Hazardous to your Health".

    Yeah i believe in Karma and what goes around comes around 100%.
    But with this situation, is that he does not even rememebr what he used to do wrong, so he has no recollection.
    So he is basically with the innocence of a child now.

    Yeah imo Saddam got what he deserved, how he was humiliated at the time of his death was sorta like that is what he put people through and his punishment was getting videotaped, etc.
    Also as he was getting punished, he knew what he was getting punished for, he didnt just forget.

    There's a difference between a guy who beat women and a guy who killed hundreds of thousands of people with poison gas. It sounds heartless, but it's true.

    This isn't "live by the sword, die by the sword" - this is "live by the sword, die by painful torture that leaves you begging to die by the sword". Nobody deserves what happened to him.

    If McCellan was in Saddams position he had the cruel personality that may have seen him been more cruel than Saddam. You have to remember many of the murders carried out by saddam were semi-justified - civil war etc. McCellan didnt have the power to be this cruel but it was in his personality.

    He did painfully torture animals, women and who knows what else. Him being in the state he is in is no different to what he did to them

    There are far more deserving people to be sympathetic to than Gerald McCellan
