A few years ago, Texas was amending some laws involving sex offenders. One of the news stations asked me what d oI think needs to be done.
I said " Kill em"! Rapists, and child offenders need the death penality upon the first conviction.
Everybody claimed I am mean and inhumane!
Actually, it wasn't that he had sex with them, but that he inappropriately touched all three of them and had one touch him. He was 18 and the ages of the two girls and one boy were between 12-15.
Well, if it were one of your kids he did that too, then I think the punishment should be as YOU see fit. If it makes you want to break all his fingers, fine with me. If it makes you want to poke his eye's out, fine with me. Far as im concerned, any sexual activity with a child deserves death.
Let me catch some POS inappropriately touching a kid and I will beat the living --------------------!
Crimes against children do not deserve a second chance.
"Sex offender" is also a tag that is used for a pretty wide brush stroke as well. The guy caught taking a leak in an alley after a drunken night at the bar can be charged as a sex offender. I personally know of two guys that were with girls all through middle and high school, that were a year older than their gf's. The girls ended up prego in high school and the boys nearly the same age as them ended up in prison and labeled sex offenders. One guy even still married the girl after the stuff her parents put him through. Although the term "sex offender" gives me the chills and gives me pause. I have learned to research the case before you go making broad judgement.
If I was 18, and she was 17, should I still be "killed"? This kind of thing can and does put you on the same list.
I don't have any issue at all with the death penality, but we need to watch how we use it. With this in mind, I would guess around 10% should not get the death penality. As for the rest, yea, chop 'em into bits! If you can't fix them, put them down.

I said " Kill em"! Rapists, and child offenders need the death penality upon the first conviction.
In February 1985, a Hispanic man from Aurora, Illinois named Rolando Cruz and a co-defendant were tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for the 1983 kidnapping, rape, deviant sexual assault and murder of 10-year old Jeanine Nicarico in DuPage County Circuit Court despite the fact that the police had no physical evidence linking them to the crime. Cruz was pardoned after more than 10 years in custody.
Seven DuPage County law enforcement officials, three prosecutors and four deputies, were indicted by a grand jury in December 1996 on 47 charges of conspiracy to convict Cruz despite being aware of exculpatory evidence. In April 1999, the trial of the "DuPage Seven." began, and ultimately all seven officers were found not guilty by Judge William Kelly. However, a civil suit brought by Cruz, Hernandez and Buckley was settled by DuPage County for $3.5 million in autumn of 2000.
1) Unless they had sex (and admitted it!) in those 2 days when he was 18 & she not quite 17, he was wrongfully convicted.BROKENSPROKET said:I know a guy who turned 18 two days before his girlfriend turmed 17. Her parents called the cops the day he turned 18. He is now a registerd sex offender for life.
