The Inmate Who Beat Up Jared From Subway In Jail Has Been Getting Tons Of Fan Mail And Money Since Beating His Ass
NY Post – The prison inmate who pounded on Jared Fogle last year is getting rock star treatment — receiving fan mail and other forms of love from sex abuse victims and random people on the outside.
“I am writing to thank you for the beatdown you gave to Jared Fogle,” reads one of the countless letters sent to Steve Nigg since his January 2016 attack on the former Subway pitchman at their federal prison in Englewood, Colorado.
“I am proud of your stance on child molestation and your unwillingness to be tolerant towards them,” it says, according to TMZ.
“I was a victim of sexual abuse at a young age and wish I had someone like you in my corner back then,” the writer adds. “I am tossing $50 on your books. This is my way of saying thank you for standing up for the children that are victims to scumbags like Fogle.”
Nigg, who is serving a 15-year sentence for being a felon in possession of a gun, pummeled Fogle in the prison recreation yard. Authorities said he left the convicted child porn watcher with a bloody nose and scratches to his neck.
What a weird situation to be a prisoner who sees a famous convicted pedophile, beats his face in a little, and then ends up being famous to a certain group of people. Based on the initial Jared from Subway reports, he seems like an absolutely reprehensible dude deserving of disdain and prison beatings. But another inmate who lit him up fan mail and money…bit of a weird move. Especially in situations like this:
“Good day Steven…I am writing this letter to thank you for your service,” said one little boy, who also sent $2.
“What you did took courage,” he wrote.
If it gives these people some hope and the ability to fix things in their lives then yeah that’s great. But there’s something that seems a little weird to me about treating a dude mashing the face of an advertising mascot-turned-child fucker like a paid assassin. If Jared from Subway gets a shiv to the throat in prison, the world wouldn’t be missing much. But does that mean the prisoner doing it should be getting Jordans from commissary (I’m going to assume they sell Jordans at commissary) for being the one to do it? He deserves whatever he gets organically but is a pseudo bounty on his head “right”? Hard to say hard to say.
