Not All Heroes Wear Capes, Some Have Canes (Inmate Who Targets Child Molesters)

This meme combines a mugshot of a bald, bearded California inmate (who changed his name to Caesar Augustus) with text detailing his controversial actions: he is serving a life sentence for strangling his sister's rapist to death, and while incarcerated, has killed five child molesters using his walking cane. He states, "If you keep sending them here, I'll keep killing them," and told a judge he is proud of his actions and will continue until he is too old. The meme frames him as an unconventional, unsung hero—playing on the wholesome "not all heroes wear capes" trope, but applying it to a violent real-world figure targeting universally reviled criminals.
