If there is hardcore evidence that someone raped a child, such as a videotape with clear images, then yes, that person should not be allowed to live anymore. Why put someone in jail forever? It is a waste of money. Take them out back and blow their brains out. They obviously are not going to contribute much to society.

i believe the person should live and go to prison. once they get to prison and prisoners find out what they did, and they will, they will get theirs. even people in prison have morals. i hate rapists and child molesters. i know a hand full of people that have been molested or raped, so i have pretty strong feelings on this topic.

HehTheUrr

I voted yes, assuming it was completely without-a-doubt that the person was guilty. If you are so heartless as to do something along those lines to someone who is too young to defend themselves... Then you have nothing to contribute to this planet, in my opinion.

But I do like Vicki's idea of castration. Not only would it send more of a message, it's not easy on the perpetrator! Death, as repayment for something so horrible, is a small price to pay.

And I know a few people who have been raped, and I'm very close with someone who was molested as a child... They have to live with it all of their lives. Why shouldn't the heartless bastard who did it? Chop it off, I say!

I have (35 years ago) I do.

Kill 'em.



(Still very angry, after all these years)

EDIT: I just read something I wrote in another thread (Office theft of the pizza), where I didn't condone taking revenge on the thief. I still believe that, however; I will never forgive or forget the trauma that was inflicted on me and my sisters when we were young. The anger and hatred for that man (My step-father) will stay with me until the day I die, even though he is now dead (died of emphesema and heart failure). He has been dead at least a decade now, but that makes no difference in how I feel about what was done.

Dammit anyway - I hadn't thought of it in a long time. Now, it boiled to the surface again, as fresh as it was back then. Counseling and payments might make it easier to deal with for a child, but it doesn't undo the damage done.

Revenge and punishment are two different things, so I didn't confuse what you said.

When I originally made this thread, I thought killing them wasn't good enough. I thought, and still do, that castration is a great punishment.

I have read of a few cases of pedophiles who had hundreds of victims over the course of their lives. Hundreds. I just don't think death is enough sometimes. If prison, and a life of no sunshine and no fresh air isn't punishment enough, what is?

I can't say that I favor capital punishment simply because it takes so long in most cases to carry out the sentence. If an offender spends twenty years in prison before he's put to death his life has basically been taken from him before we execute him, so he is actually getting both sentences imposed upon him.

Some say public executions televised would have more of an effect on stopping it, but I doubt it. As the Supreme court found out when it said that the Constitution allows each state to decide for itself, there is no easy solution........

Lock them up, sentence them a lot harsher than you would normally.

They get it the worst in prison, and they probably shouldnt get out.

Once a creep, always a creep, when your talking about molesters...

Chemical castration.

absolutely. Pretty much any rape, especially if it is violent. I have had personal experience with this, and I have this feeling: when you murder someone, their life is over and their family suffers because of it, but the victim is gone. When you are raped or violated, you live on, but you live with those feelings for the rest of your life. So in essence, the rapist takes part of the victim's life. It should only be fitting the system takes their life from them.

Just a caveat, I don't believe in capital punishment for statuatory rape (when the ages are fairly close, ex: 16 and 18, etc. There are extenuating circumstances, but capital punishment should be mandatory especially if the victim is under a certain age. Not to say adult rape is any less heinous or terrible, but the rape of a child, especially at a young age, shapes their whole future.
