Death Penalty Proposed for Repeat Sex Offenders
Posted: Feb 6, 2006, 06:33 AM PST
Repeat child molestors are becoming more and more an issue today. They are set free, only to shatter the life of another innocent child. Oklahoma Senator Jay Paul Gumm is committed to making Oklahoma the safest state possible for your children.
The Senator has written legislation to ensure that repeat child molesters face the toughest penalty possible. It's called Senate Bill 1747. It would make repeat child molesters subject to life in prison without parol or even the death penalty.
Right now, the most severe punishment for repeat sex offenders is one year in the county jail or life in prison. Oklahoma has already passed "Jessica's Law" that requires lifetime monitoring of repeat sex offenders. Gumm's bill expands Jessica's Law, making the most heinous repeat offenders subject to the death penalty.
Parents of young children agree, that something has to be done. "As a future educator and a mother myself, I think we're too lenient on sex offenders as it is. There's too many people that come out of prison and they hurt our children again", said Tina Jackson.
After becoming a father himself, Senator Gumm says, "If there was a crime that was worthy of the punishment by death or life without parole, it is that crime that is commiitted against a defenseless child."
Senator Gumm is confident this new bill will pass in the senate and become a law. Lawmakers will consider Senator Gumm's repeat sex offender bill when the 2006 session begins February 6th.

GySgt said:Fu*k that. Kill 'em. Sex offenders (pedophiles and serial rapists) are rarely "cured," therefore they will always be predators and their victims feel the abuse for life and sometimes is passed on to their kids. What is the point in locking them up on tax payer dollars when that prison cell could be used for criminals that can still positively contribute to society one day?
alex said:5.3% of sex offenders released from prison in 15 states were arrested for sex crimes again within 3 years (1994). 94.7% were not. This is evidence that sex offenders can be rehabilitated.

GySgt said:Isn't that ironic? Death sentence protesters always talk of how inhumane it is to execute the most henious criminal element and would rather inhumanely confine them to a life time of rape and torture instead? I say, save the money and kill them off.
reaganburch said:I totally agree, but sometimes, death is TOO good for an offender... especially a child rapist....

Korimyr the Rat said:Because the conditions that we tolerate within our prison system are a national disgrace.
Not only does this behavior actively interfere with our goals of rehabilitation, but taking a man into our custody and then allowing and encouraging his abuse is grossly dishonorable.
That may be true, but we're too good to give them anything else-- or at least, we should be.
Deegan said:Not going to work, not in our society, not how the appeals system works!
This is exactly why I do not support the death penalty anymore, it just does not work. It's years and years of appeal after appeal, and the tax payer foots the bill. I say send then to an island, and if no one supports their needs, they starve to death! This of course is said out of frustration, but it's the only way to realistically get them the death sentence they deserve. You can't possibly sentence everyone who is convicted to a life sentence, there is not enough prisons to hold them all, not with the drug offenders we presently hold. No, this will not work, pleasent thought though, I would even volunteer to pull the switch!

reaganburch said:... why, as a taxpayer, should I pay for 'rehabilitation'?
reaganburch said:And is his 'punishment' any worse than the punishment he or she doled out on a child?
reaganburch said:What about that guy in Vermont who raped and abused a girl for 5 years? ... The girl or the guy who got sentenced to jail for a few months?
reaganburch said:I might be cold and probably are, but, as a man who's going to be a parent in 4 weeks, I couldn't care less what happens to a child molester in prison... As a society, we should be bigger than that, I agree... But, as a man? I honestly am completely cold to it...
Korimyr the Rat said:Life without parole is nothing more than saying "we as a society recognize that this creature is too dangerous to live among us, but we are too spineless to kill him ourselves."
Carl said:I think that's quite true in cases of murder and capital murder.
But in cases of child molestation, though my visceral reaction is to execute the perpetrator slowly using dull tweezers and an acetylene torch, there remains the issue of the victim still being alive.
I'm unaware of any legal precedent wherein we execute a perpetrator when the victim was not killed during the crime. I'm reluctant for a number of reasons to establish any such precedent, even in the face of the heinous nature of child molestation.
I think, in the vernacular, this particular issue is "a bitch".
Do you know the definition of irony?Isn't that ironic?
well i think both are wrong!Death sentence protesters always talk of how inhumane it is to execute the most henious criminal element and would rather inhumanely confine them to a life time of rape and torture instead? I say, save the money and kill them off.
