And when all the pedophiles start killing their victims, so said victims can't ID them, that's gonna be LOTS better.

Look, I despise child molesters as much as the next guy, but child molestation is not a capital crime for the same reason rape is not a capital crime.

Both forcible rape and child molestation should be capital crimes.

You've ruined an innocent life and that innocence can never be reclaimed.

Mark Klass, said his solution would be this....a pedophile convicted the first time should serve his full sentence....then he gets out...if he reoffends, he should receive life without possibility of parole....I was surprised at this, considered what Mr. Klass has been through with losing his daughter Polly...he said his reasoning is that someone, even tho convicted, might actually not be guilty of the crime...however, if that person reoffends, and is then again caught, tried, and found guilty, then he should serve for life without parole...because the second conviction, boosts the belief that the first conviction was correct...

Many pedophiles do not physically murder their victims...but they damage them mentally for life, those victims often never recover from what was done to them...their families are torn apart, and suffer....so altho a pedophile may not have actually murdered a victim, that pedophile killed that victims childhood, and in many cases killed that victims chances at a normal, happy life...and for that, the pedophile deserves life in prison without parole, or even the death penalty...

Poor analogy. Recidivism rates for such predators is high. We have all helped fund the studies. Quite often these vermin follow through with killing. Kind of like saying to a rape victim, "Hey, just lay back and enjoy!". At least it will not get you killed.

...rape is not a capital crime.

Is not aggravated rape a capital crime in many states and punishable by death in a few? Kidnapping is certainly a capital level offense which applies to most child molesters. Cross a state line and it becomes a federal offense I believe.

It's time to make the judges liable for lenient sentencing and premature releases of these parasites.

...but child molestation is not a capital crime for the same reason rape is not a capital crime.

That actually depends on whether or not I'm making the arrest...
