Residents cut off child rapist's penis
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | February 12, 2004

Posted on 02/11/2004 7:02:56 AM PST by dead

Angry residents of a South African township cut off the penis of a man caught raping a five-year-old girl, police said.

The 26-year-old man was in a critical condition in hospital after the assault, which happened on Sunday at Mandela Park in the East Rand township near Johannesburg, Sergeant Zithini Dlamini told Reuters.

The traumatised girl was being treated for her injuries, which were not life-threatening, she said.

No arrests had yet been made. Members of the child's community would not reveal who assaulted the man when several caught him in the act of raping the child after luring her to a shack, she said.

"Nobody is talking. While we condone the community for catching the man, we would encourage people to come to us rather than taking justice into their own hands," she said.

South Africa has one of the highest rates of reported rape in the world.

If South African Court are like American Courts, they don't dispense justice. American Courts dispense Social Remediation.

I hope nobody there talks.

I bet there is not another child rape in that township for YEARS. Justice, true justice, works. Sometimes people need to be reminded that process of the justice system is not justice, the results are, or in many cases, are not.

They caught the SOB in the act - not much to argue here - in this case justice was swift and the punishment most definitely fit the crime. Next case.

Well, if we could do that to Carlie Brucia's murderer before he's fried extra crispy...

I'll volunteer.

(The issue pierces through me, since I have 2 little sisters: a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old)

My first thoughts were that the fantastically mentally disturbed Leftists will try to turn him into a Saint.

But have you noticed how they seem to be silent about such matters nowadays? How can they reconcile things like this when GLSEN/GLAAD/NAMBLA is in their corner?

If you can't use it appropriately then be prepared to lose it unappropriately. I say this should be the world wide punishment for rapists of children!

Just a side note: I wonder if this bassturd was trying to cure his AIDS by having sex with a virgin.

Sadly, this is a very common myth on that benighted Continent

Good morning B4. Actually my response covers both sexes. Kind of an eye for an eye kinda thing. Pornographers, there go the eyes. Rapist, there goes the penis &/or (you never know in todays society) clitoris. Something with hands or mouth, Say bye bye to the hands or tongue etc.etc.etc. Some people would probably end up deaf,blind,mute and have no extremities, but they would know the consequences and it would be their own choice. Maybe even brand their forehead in some way.

Doubly tragic, since this results in many cases of pediatric AIDS.

I do! Why is he still alive?

To serve as a living reminder of what we do to child molesters in this neighborhood.

If he were dead everyone would stop talking about it in a few years...

Unfortunately, so does the 5 year old. He should have his jail time "option" replaced with a slow death. Say a pool of hungry sea bass.

Fine, as long as he is kept in jail forever. Having to wear long-johns with the flap in the back. With a jar of vaseline hanging from his belt and a sign that says "8itch".

There was a time when something like this would have been followed with a proper necklacing. Perhaps they couldn't find a tire.

South Africa has one of the highest rates of reported rape in the world.

In one place, they seem to have an idea what to do about it. It could work.

He'd then be easy to spot, as he'd certainly be a wee-bit cockeyed...

Everyone would point with a look of disgust on their face and say:

"theres the sick dickhead that raped that poor little girl"

It should be customary fo anyone to B slap him too each time he appears in public. I wish this would happen in the USA. Harsh, no im being lenient, I have 2 daughters.
