Death penalty - who thinks it should be applied to rapists and child molesters?

DiamondDave

I have thought this for a VERY long time. However, we basically have it now. Even hardened criminals and murderers have SOME honor. We all know what happens to child molestors and child rapists when they hit the general population in prison.

I wish we would get the official penalty as a possibility in the courts, but I doubt we ever see it happen.

Yes, absolutely.

I hear of a lot more rapists and child molesters being exonerated after 15 years than I do murderers. I have no problem with giving them life, but you can't take back the death penalty.

I'm for the death penalty in murder cases because it's never the victim accusing someone (they can't, they're dead). Murder cases are based more on physical evidence than victim testimony, which can be wrong. Even if there is incriminating physical evidence, like with Kobe Bryant, still might come down to he said, she said in a rape case.

The line is too blurry. Lock them up and throw away the key, but make sure you can find it later if the accuser recants.

i think definetly it should be applied to rapists and child molesters because there are to many innocent kids and adults getting hurt

It might stop some of the molesting of children if people
knew they'd face death if caught. We're just too soft. So
many people want to get into prisons that they can't keep
all of them forever, so they release them as they are so
overcrowded. And, of course, they go do what they did before.
A vicious circle. We kill the innocent (abortion) and let the
guilty live. Crazy world, eh?

Death is too easy for them---I choose some ongoing torture, and make their LIFE a hell!

yes--they should be made to bleed to death via castration. Rape is the most heinous crime that can be committed.

While I FEEL that way, I do not THINK that way. The reason for the death penalty for murder is a philosphical (and religious) one. It is not, as most people think, because it is a deterrant. (Even though it is). The main reason it exists is because the murderer cannot do anything to make ammends to the victim, because the victim is dead. Therefore, it is considered an injustice of cosmic proportions for the murderer to be left alive. Even in prison, the murderer can read books, make friends, breathe air, eat tasty food, etc. The victim is deprived of all these things, therefore it is not right for the murderer to be alive. Child molesters, can--in theory--attempt to be forgiven by their victims, by repenting and making ammends. They have not literally killed anyone. The case can be made that they have killed their victim in a psychological sense, but the justice system should not attempt to go down that road. For murderers, (and no one else) the sentence is "you have your life taken away, because you took someone elses."

Definitely!

Innocent until proven guilty. That is the way it must remain. I cannot even imagine how many innocent people have been put to death. A scarey thought.
