You know, I do not believe in vigilante justice even for cases like child rape. I think they should be tried, convicted, and punished like everyone else. And for these situations, I think castration of molesters is the most reasonable solution.
Thanks for understanding civilization and the rule of law. Tough cases make bad law.
Castration often does not work for child molesters. They really, really need killing.
Reasonable? This scumbag not only raped and killed that young boy, but he ate parts of the body and then lacquered the child's bones, which he kept as trophies. People looking for ways to treat such monsters reasonably is exactly why we have so many in our society today.
As a society, in just a few generations, we have gone from a nation that would quickly try, convict and hang such human monsters, to taking years before even trying them. If convicted, they may or may not get the death penalty. If they do, they will sit on death row for decades. And if, at long last, they face the executioner, we wring our collective hands over whether or not the injections are humane.
To paraphrase Shakespeare, the justice system these days is a "tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
