There's noting to apologize for. Death to these perverts! Scream it from the rooftops.
Death penalty should be applied liberally.
bump!
The hell these people have to go through from the prison guards and their fellow inmates is retribution enough for me.
Torture THEN death.
I agree.
I'm pro-death penalty only when there's no other solution.
We're at that point.
If we don't do something soon to protect our children, then we must accept responsibility for their sexual abuse ourselves.
I agree, as long as the law makes a clearer distinction between statutory 'rape' and child molestation.
Right now the definitions of the two are a bit too close to each other.
Your article is right on, Edie.
I get so sick of hearing liberals say the death penalty is not a deterrent. It is most definitely a deterrent for repeat offenders because that offender cannot repeat the offense and the recidivism rate for child molesters is out of sight.
I believe we need MORE death penalty, swiftly meted out, for violent crimes against children as well as some violent crimes against adults. I would like to see one appeal after a conviction, and then the penalty meted out within 30 days post appeal, a la Saddam.
I'd like the following crimes to have an automatic death sentence post conviction and appeal:
- sexual crimes against a minor (Man, those teachers and pervs would all STOP right away or move to Thailand)
- murder of a minor by anyone 5 years older than the victim
- any multiple murder
- serial murder
- rape of a stranger (any sex, any age, date rape excluded)
For those who maintain their innocence after conviction (absolute "I didn't do it at all" innocence), life in prison without parole. That gives the law the opportunity to discover who really did it, without killing a possibly innocent person in the meantime. And if no one is found, the most likely perp dies in prison, without a chance to harm another child.
Unfortunately, there are enough cases of wrongful accusation and conviction in child cases, that we have to be careful about the ones who say they didn't do it. Keep 'em locked away, but give them a chance to prove it was somebody else.
The ones that confess -- string 'em up. The sooner the better.
Do you include high school seniors who have sex with their sophomore girlfriends as child molesters? Because the state does.
I'm all for life sentences or civil confinement for sex offenders, but am for this reason adamantly opposed to the death penalty. That should be reserved for murder alone.
Are Abortionists .... Child molesters?...
The Death Penalty is for murderers. As detestable as child molestation is, it should not receive the death penalty. However, molesters should receive a greater penalty than mere imprisonment, perhaps hard labor, solitary confinement, or being forced to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" over and over.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but that headline is the product of a sick mind.
I might agree with that headline if it were removed from the mindless emotionalism that renders it worthless. Perhaps the use of the word "some" might redeem it.
The expected next statement is that I am defending "child molesters". So be it.
Wrongful deaths are caused by a great number of factors. Injuries to innocent people can be the result of an unlimited number of causes, from accident to deliberate planned mass murder.
To state that "the only answer to anyone who causes the death of another should be the death penalty" would also be characterized as the product of a sick mind.
It would cover all forms of murder, as well as the killing while defending one's home and family.
Non-sensical in the extreme.
The present state of civilized criminal justice has a large component of proportionality, rightfully so.
Yes, this is true also of crimes presently categorized as "child molestation", crimes which may be real or merely suggested.
You need professional help.
To liberals it is only a different sexual orientation.
I agree with you 100%!! Doesn't sound harsh at all to me. Worse than harsh is what these inhuman b@%tards are continually doing to our children.
Second offense: death penalty.
Agreed about sex offenders who target children.
However, I am annoyed that all sorts of individuals who *aren't* "sex offenders who target children" are being lumped together with them. We need CLARITY of our terms.
Among others who have been classified as "sex offenders", along with "sex offenders who target children", are:
Indecent exposure
Public urination
Sexual harassment
Spousal abuse
While those are crimes, THEY ARE NOT CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN. So it is very wrong to put them in the same category as child molesters, child pornographers, and scum like that.
Again, when we talk about the death penalty for child molesters, be very careful that you don't "buy in" to all criminals being put in the same pot with them.
Because it would be pretty stupid to give some drunk frat boy the death penalty for peeing on the sidewalk. As it is pretty stupid to call him a "sex offender" in the first place.
