I can full on see some guy going serial killer after that happened to him though. Plus there are more than JUST guys guilty of this remember

I am against the Death Penalty on the basis of principle... and though nothing would make me happier than to disconect each joint in his fingers, arms, toes and legs... it is not the right of the state to kill people.

He'll have a bad enough time in prison when people find out he wanted to rape a 5-year-old.

I'd rather see them face a life sentence in the hole.

With a nice big R branded on thier forheads so that every one in the hole knows why they are there. And none of this protective custody crap,,,im talking Sing Sing general population.

Actually as long as we made it slow and painful death wpould be best,,,,and public.

I do like the branding idea. "CR" for Child Rapist burned on each cheek (forehead can be covered up with a hat or hair). But this would only suffice for me if it was after the following two punishments....

1. Some form of "poetic justice". Maybe being tied down and allowing several extremely well-endowed gay men to have their way with him without the benefit of lubrication. 

2. Full castration without the luxury of anesthesia.

Just because you have sex with another guy doesn't mean you're gay.

Generally speaking, I'm against capital punishment, but you wouldn't see me taking time out of my day signing a petition to save this guys life. Crimes like this deserves a harsher punishment than the state should be allowed to give.

If I was on a jury, there's no way in hell I could send a father, brother or anyone else to jail for killing (or severely maiming) someone who had done this. Even if it was a long drawn out gruesome killing (or severe maiming) only a true psychopath would be capable of.

I'm hesitant to give the state the right to kill, and wholly against giving the state power of any sort of body modification (castration or branding) in almost any circumstance. The kids father, I could gladly turn a blind eye for though.

 Cheesy Cheesy

On a serious note...watch the Woodsman w/ Kevin Bacon and Kira Sedgewick.  A great movie depicting that child molesters actually have a soul, want to change, need help and have enormous trouble trying to do so.

Sounds like a human being to me.

Is a sexual attraction to young girls any different than repressed priests eying little boys, or someone who likes to just make love to shoes, or turtles?  All the same thing.  All were victimized against their will (the victims, not the molester) which is illegal, except for the shoes and turtles.  Because they have no legal rights.  Natural rights, now thats a philosophical run around...

But no man should have to be killed for having a mortal flaw.
No man should have to be killed at all.  Down with capital punishment.

I'd like for child rapists to die too. They are flawed human beings, its best to just kill them.   If the victim wants to torture them for a while than so be it.  Maybe let them cut off the guys dick and feed it to him. Make him chew it down.  If he refuses, than start cutting off fingers.  Gouge out one of his eyeballs with a spoon.  Maybe take a nail gun and nail him to a sheet of plywood and then run it through a table saw until he's turned into one inch strips.   Cheesy Cheesy

The problem is that when you have really harsh penalties like this, the people who are the victims don't want to press charges and what not.  Problems come up when you have to turn in your dad/brother/uncle knowing they're going to be put to death.  You have to understand that this is why the laws against these guys are not all that harsh.  You can end up sending less guys to prison when the penalties are harsh.

 Huh? 

Oh brother.  Roll Eyes  If this is another argument for deterrence, you should have been past this already...

Here is the ever famous study on deterrence...

Yes you are.

Its not about deterrence, its about having light enough penalties so the family will still press chargers.  (keep in mind most of these types of things happen in the family, not some stranger)  So now the family has to press charges.  If they know thy guy will probably get the death penalty, they won't press charges.  I guess they can't deal with more or less killing dad, uncle, brother.  Thats what this is all about.  Its getting the family/victims to press charges.   If they don't press charges the guy can go free.  So we're left with a compromise.  Relatively light penalties but at least there is something.

Ah.  Now I understand. 

I completely agree.   Smiley

The same could be analogous to prostitution.  Thankfully there is nothing wrong with prostitution.  Grin

That's a tough one, but it's irrelevant.  Castration has been shown to be less than totally effective at curing pedophilia.  It's in their brains, not their balls.
