“She is the single most brilliant thing I’ve ever known,” he added. “She was the best thing this world had left to give and the fact that we are without her, and the world is without her, as a result of the flippant actions of somebody who was able to gain her trust is a pretty big deal.”

I vote for the death penalty…and a slow painful one…
This little nine year old girl was raped and buried alive, while she clutched her little toy dolphin. Why is the guy who did that not yet in Hell?
Meet Mr. John Cooey, who killed Jessica pictured above. Now imagine this man has your little daughter in his hands. He gets sheer perverse joy from her whimpering cries for her mommy. He pushes her down and does unspeakable things to your little baby, and chuckles with delight at her screams.
Who could NOT want a slow torturous death for this creature?
I wish all those who are against the death penalty, especially because it is ‘cruel and inhumane’ would really think about all this.
Sack of shit that did it needs to be tortured. Rehabilitation, that’s what they always say. Well, screw that!!! I think they should torture the bastards until they piss on themselves everytime they have a bad thought. Run a glass tube up his shaft, then hit it with a rubber mallet, let him pea blood.
Though, philosophically speaking I am against the death penalty, I certainly would keep the governor up at night with my protests that’s for sure.
If it was my kids? I wouldn’t need a court. I’d kill him with my bare hands.
Appeal to emotion, not reason. Quite a left-wing tactic Headhunter.
Other than for treason, we should abolish the death penalty.
What about the innocent guy wrongly accused/convicted?
When DNA evidence came on the scene, and exhonorated some of the executed, what happened to their right to life? Oops!
Pedophiles dont scare me as much as peoples reactions to them. Formerly sane human beings well up with bloodlust and start suggesting the most inhumane things they can imagine. Its like a glance at the Dark Ages, really.
Yes, the government has the right to imprison, and, in some states, the government has the right to put someone to death in a humane way, and the government has various other related rights.
What the government does not have is the right to torture anyone, to give them a “long, slow, agonizing death”, to let other citizens “get them”, or any of the other midevil shit people always suggest for pedophiles.

I am surprised you support it for treason.

Hey lets play the “take quotes out of context” game.

Hey, look at that, cutting off half the sentence kinda changes the whole meaning. Hm. I suppose “pedophiles dont scare me” is a lot different than “pedophiles dont scare me as much as peoples reactions to them”.
Even if I had children, I’d still be more concerned with living in a society where people would even think to give its government the right to torture.

I’m not trying to flame you but I just do not understand the logic here. Do you actually think a man that raped a child and then buried her alive will EVER be rehabilitated and an adjusted, functioning, productive member of society? If not then what? Spend resources to keep him caged until he dies of old age? For what purpose? This human has failed at this chance for existence and can no longer be of any use to society. I really wish that those that do not support death penaly for these crimes could pay for the prison costs and the rest of us be tax exempt from that, put their money where their mouth is and all.

Fine if those who are against the death penalty do not have to pay the costs of it.
Since life long imprisonment is cheaper, you lose.

Nail on the head Bro, Agreed!!!
Why are people always quick to jump in and defend the pervs who do this. Death penalty is not right, two wrongs don’t make a right, yada, yada, yada, B.S! That little girl didn’t deserve to be tortured or to die. I have kids and they are my world, and yes if someone hurt them like that I’m not asking the government to torture them. I would want to do it myself. If that makes me Dark Ages well so be it.

Yes, but who among us is a worthy executioner? The executioner kills a defenseless man. That too is murder. Whether the criminal deserves to live isn’t important.

You can’t have kids. Like I said I am philosophically against the death penalty, but crimes against kids invoke strong passion out of me. As far as I am concerned there is no hell hot enough for these people. Since killing these vermin really doesn’t do anything but get them off the hook as far as I am concerned.
Once they are dead, you can’t do more to them and that is too good for them. I am perfectly happy to let them get raped and beaten daily in a maximum security prison. I have no issues with that, hell I prefer it.
But fuck with my kids, and you are looking into a world of pain that you cannot even imagine. Prison wouldn’t hide you, I’d go there and get you if I had to. I pay the roving gangs in prison a high fee to do my bidding. Whatever, but hell would be a welcome relief by the time I am done. Do what you will to me, but do not fuck with my kids.

hahaha. Are you serious?
I see. So, I assume you’re generally for human rights, with the exception of pedophiles, because you get so emotional about the subject. Its fine to get emotional, but some people get equally emotional about terrorists or murderers or plain-ol-regular rapists, some people get equally emotional about those who abuse animals or the elderly, some people get just as emotional about people burning the American flag.
Do you see where I’m going with this?

Do we have a legal system to protect society or to for revenge against criminals? Why is the government forbidden to use “cruel and unusual punishment”?
typo: That should read “Do we have a legal system to protect society or for revenge against criminals?”
The extra “to” was an error.

Why should the government torture (or allow you to torture) someone who hurt your kids… but not torture (or allow anyone to torture) someone who, say, set an old folks home on fire? Is it fair to the children of the 82 year old woman who burned to death, that you get to exact your revenge and they cannot?
