I was not able to reply since some do deserve the death penalty, but inocent people do get set up. Ever see Capturing the Friedmans?" I think castration should be used for some sexual predators, but only if they use their tool in the crime.
 
I do not believe in the death penalty. So NO. But I believe people that are proven to be real pedophiles should be kept away from society for life.

I wonder if you would feel that way if it was your daughter or son who was raped or sodimized........

Are you an advocate for vigilantes or the death penalty?

I know you didnt ask me, but if I may respond. Would I want violence, absolutely, would it be justified, absolutely not. I hold my government to higher standards than I do myself.
 
If someone rapes a child, the execution should be slow and painful. If the parents want to, let them do it. No holds barred.

Of all of the possible crimes, rape is the one that is absolutely incomprehensible to me. Just about anything else I can construct a situation in which it could happen. But not rape.

Now, compound that with inflicting it on a child and you have forfeited any rights to be treated as a human, or even humanely.

As for chemical castration...no, castration with a hammer and anvil. If necessary, wake him up after each hit.

Just imagine how I'd feel about it if I had children... :shock:

I disagree (obviously, if you've read my last post). As I said, anyone who rapes a child has no right to be treated as a human or be treated humanely.

As for the government, I hold myself to a much higher standard than the government. The government must have some level of compromise to be effective.

The death penalty

Good question, Navy Pride. Long time no see. Ummmmmmm......yes. Wonder no more.
 
And the question here is about pedophiles in general, yes? Not just ones convicted of forcible rape. As most pedophiles do not force their victims. Get us all on the same page, NP.
 
Why exactly kill him?? The damage is done, the kid will be scarred for life, killing him/her will not change that. Sure, the parents will want vengeance, but society is not based on vengeance, but justice. Justice and vengeance are not the same thing.

Life Imprisonment in solitute is cheaper, more punishment than death IMO. Imagine not being able to do simple things, like touch grass, hear birds, drive cars, talk to people until your death. That is punishment!!!

I wonder how you would explain the rational to your child....that we Killed the guy who molested you....but its not your fault. Hard enough to explain the molestation was not because of them....let alone the death of a Human Being.

your comments please

for once, I agree with you.

yes they should die. I spent much of my professional life picking up the peices and trying to repair the damage caused by sexual preditors and those that physically abuse their families. Sexual Preditors are dangerous worthless pieces of smelly ****, and they seem to always reoffend.
 
Until we have a system of justice that is faultless, I don't think that the death penalty should ever be an option.

Are some sick and in need of help? Possibly. But which ones? What kind of help?

I'd say total segregation for the rest of their lives. Harsh punishment, stops them reoffending, and if they're later found to be innocent they can be freed with compensation.

Interesting point, tecoyah. That would provide another weapon in the paedophile's armoury: "If you tell anyone about this, I'll probably die."
 
So, I've got a question for all those who are so anxious for blood. What if the offender is your brother, your father, your son.....then will you be so anxious for death? Will you cheer them onto the lethal injection table? And answer carefully, because I have some practical knowledge of a family that changed their tune right quick when it was one of their own who turned out to be a child molester. It's all fine and good to sit around on the internet and talk big about killing people. But it serves no purpose and is quite disrespectful actually to do so when these situations are arising in the lives of real people every day. I say when your child is raped or molested or when your loved one is revealed to be a pedophile, then your opinion on this matter may carry some weight. Otherwise talk is cheap.
 
my sentiments mirror Mr fungus.

At the same time, a significant percentage of pedophiles were victims of child rape and abuse themselves.

However, also at the same time, it is one crime that has the highest rate of recidivism Thus, they need to be kept away from any environment that allows them to reenact their urges ever again. Lifetime imprisonment may be an option. (To bad we can't just send them to some isolated island somewhere to live out their lives completely without access to society.)

For the record, if someone rapes and molests my daughter samantha, he or she will die. My husband has already stated he is willing to go to jail for this (vigilante execution.)

I voted no. I think as a society we can come up with a better way to keep these individuals from harming children.

I fail to see how breaking another mother's heart and depriving your daughter of her father will serve any purpose.
 
No as worded. It can be appropriate in some cases.

How about where an 18 year old boy and his 15 year old girl friend fall in love, date for a while, and have consensual sex. He has legally had sex with a child and is a sexual pedophile. If that was your son would you think he should be executed, NP?

To me that seems like your husband would be giving even more power to the abuser. If your daughter is made to believe that what was done to her is so shameful and horrible that dad is willing to spend the rest of his life locked up in jail I would think her recovery would be much harder. It would almost make the statement that dad believes his daughter was damaged beyond repair and thus life isn't worth continuing. That's irrational.

Of couse it is irrational, but she is his daughter. If your 4 year old had her anus ripped ( causing a rectal vaginal fissuree) from intercourse and contracted genital herpes (just saw a case in the er 3 mos ago), I don't think a father can be expected to be rational.

He knows the current system only incarcerates pedophiles less than a decade, they get let out and repeat their sins over and over again. (and they do as any psychiatrist will tell you.)

He figures he will take them out once and for all.

But since what he is doing is wrong, he is wiling to serve the punishment.

I am financially capable of rearing my daughter single handedly, (we have a mother in law that can watch the child and I can afford a full time nanny etc.) He has thought long and hard about this .


I see these sexually abused people as patients. Their lives and psyche are many times wrecked beyond help (society does not provide free lifetime psychotherapy for these victimes) and the perpetrator many times are still living within their neighborhood after they have served their "sentence".

Perhaps if the current system offers a better solution, my husband, and others, would not feel he has to resort to vigilante actions.


Once again, I did not say I would kill the perpetrator, nor if they deserved a death sentence since many were victims of abuse themselves (they became monsters after being victimized.)
