jawbreaker
Breakin' the jaw.
I remember reading about this. Totally ....ed up, but if he's guilty, he'll get his own. Trust the justice system. That is the ONLY time I will EVER say that.

Even if he's found guilty, wishing death upon another human being (regardless of criminal activity) still makes you an idiot.

A very large dose of prison is the answer. Being executed by the state, who are supposed to be humane and not killers, is not.
Yeah? Try being the parents of the children that he is accused of diddling. If he is guilty, death is too polite a sentence for him, because he has already screwed the chances of these kids having a normal life.
its not wishing death upon someone, its simply recognizing that someone like that does not deserve the gift of life.
in this world life is a privilege, not a right. im not saying thats how it should be but thats how it is.
The whole point is - we are not the parents of the children he is ACCUSED of abusing. That means we should be able to look at things rationally. If all sentences were decided by victims and their families, where the hell would we be? Disgust is a natural reaction, and at first this can result in bloodlust etc... but we need to get over that and realise that killing people solves nothing.
I have a kid and this piece of shit human being (if you could call him that) makes me think very violent thoughts. Once you have children this type of shit brings on a whole new perspective.
This honestly doesn't make me sick to my stomach like most of you are saying. Yes, I do find this completely ....ed up but look at our media. This kind of stuff us essentially all that we hear about now a days. I hear about this soooo much that it doesn't even make me cringe anymore like it used to.
As someone that that has dealt with rape, I have no sympathy for the rapist. If guilty, then he ought suffer. The damage on the person raped is never fully healed. So get off your soapbox and realize that not everyone is as "nice" as you are.
However, I will not budge in my views. It isn't that I'm being "nice", I just don't believe the government should have the right to coldly murder its own citizens on the basis of primitive emotional instincts and a slightly unnerving desire for vengeance instead of justice. Sorry.
In the case of child related rape, the father, uncle, and brothers would suffice nicely.
Without meaning to come off as patronising, I am really genuinely sorry you have had to deal with rape in whatever way you have. I have a very close friend who was abused as a child by her step father and though I have no understanding (thank god) of what it must be like to live with that I wish you the best.As someone that that has dealt with rape, I have no sympathy for the rapist
I can only hope that you will never be in a situation where you would have to challenge that belief. Society needs people to counter the views of others, just as experiences in my life counter yours.
I think there is a cultural disagreement at play more than anything else. In America, many States have a death penalty. I think 30 or more still have it on the books and available as an option. Seeing as how you are across the pond, we come from two very different backgrounds on this particular point. Although, I think we are more similar in most other respects.
Its hard to debate this issue, because morally you are right and you have the high ground. Death is not the answer (most of the time). But I feel there are some cases where one forfeits their rights to live in our society. Is it an archaic view? Most likely. That said, I think it serves as protection against these acts ever being used on innocents ever again. Also, I do believe in rehabilitation of criminals... just not in the case of aggravated murder(s) or rape. In those cases, they have already killed or ruined the life of another. All of the criminal rehabilitation is not going to fix the damage done.
Just my opinion - and probably not that of a lot of Americans.
[Edit - This is a difficult issue for me... so I don't think I want to have a full debate on this, but I wanted to respond in case you were wondering what my thought process is on the situation.]

Have you not learned anything from great movies like Escape from New York?It would be interesting to see what sort of society would come out of such a system, both within our culture and within the culture of those criminals. I would be interested to see whether their views of right, wrong and justice would distill itself and lose criminality so we could see whether crime is more often the product of the subject or the social situation.
Pretending this happened in the US, I surely wouldn't want tax payer money keeping that ....stick alive in an already over-crowded system (partially due to lack of death penalty).
For the most part I agree, BUT it actually cost more money to put someone through the death penalty process and there is the possibility after years of waiting that they could actually get off death row anyhow. It is significantly cheaper to put someone away for life than to put someone on death row.
This. I always cringe when people insist on killing someone with their tax money, because they suppose it's cheaper and the right thing to do.It is significantly cheaper to put someone away for life than to put someone on death row.
