Why can't we get the death penalty for rape? This is not a rhetorical question. It astounds me that that rapists are allowed to remain alive, especially those who sexually abuse small children.
While i like the idea of death penalty for rape, i think that society at large will never accept death penalty unless you kill someone(or treason).
I say give them life and put them in a maximum security prison where somone will make them their female dog.
In fact, traditionally under the common law, the three crimes that got the death penalty were murder, kidnapping, and rape.
Doesn't say much about men today that we can't come up with the stones to deep six most of these creeps. You know, them old fables about protecting our women and children...
Then...there would be no deterrent not to kill the rape victim. Why would the rapist let a potential witness live?
