If they thought he'd die from AIDS, why did
't they just not give him medication?
This needs to be restated as much as it can be. The justice system is far too focused on punishing people for what they've done instead of punishing people to protect from future crimes. (Which in my opinion is stretching the definition of punishment.) Protection and prI meant this in a future sense. Not that his past victim(s) aren't important, I meant that punishment to protect other people is a perfectly legitimate reason.
I just want to express how excellent these two sentences areI'm pretty sure AIDS-rape is some form of bio-terrorism. And thats not cool with me.
you are a terrible human beingIf they thought he'd die from AIDS, why didn't they just not give him medication?
dm thanks for being that guy who just comes out and sorts a thread outI just want to point out how fucking awful this thread is, as it is overflowing with people who obviously have no education in this area and have no idea what this man's thought processes are/were like.
It's really easy to cast another human aside when you have no idea what he's going through. Saying things like "bullet in the brain" and shit like that is the classic lazy American response to a problem people don't want to take the time to face and solve properly. Not every "child-diddler" is a disturbed recidivist who is useless to society forever.
Excuse me I just raped a kid. Kindly tell me what was going through myI just want to point out how fucking awful this thread is, as it is overflowing with people who obviously have no education in this area and have no idea what this man's thought processes are/were like.

I'd certainly agree that it's too easy to accuse someone of rape, especially years after the fact. That said convictions beyond a reasonable doubt is a standard almost impossible to improve upon, and you can't mandate DNA evidence in every case. A lot of it also comes down to dumb jurists who don't understand the word "a" in the "beyond a reasonable doubt."My uncle is a registered sex offender because his morbidly obese, former stepdaughter accused him of inappropriate contact years after the fact. The only evidence submitted at the trial was her testimony alone, versus his testimony alone. No DNA, no fingerprints, no video footage, no confession, no witnesses. The jury sided with her and he didn't have enough money to pay the his court appointed lawyer to appeal. I have no doubt that he is innocent. Regardless, he is a convicted child molester and a registered sex offender now. That's how easy it is to become a convicted child molester.
While it's true there are cases that are severe miscarriages of justice like the one you initially mentioned, there is no one who disagrees with the standard of innocent before proven guilty. Moreover it should be clear we're all talking about convicted child molesters, not simply accused child molesters - and specifically the variety of people who show a tendency to re-offend, which quite frankly in the case of most pedophiles is almost certain. They get a sexual and power rush out of violating people with no effective means to defend themselves, physically, mentally, or emotionally. It's predation in its purest form.Its really easy to let your emotions talk about putting a bullet in a convicted child molester's brain. If my daughter said she was defiled by some man I'd feel the same way, and I'm 100% in favor of the death penalty in general. But you've got to realize that these are people and there may be unique circumstances involved. Maybe this guy really wasn't guilty. Maybe that guy was guilty, but he really can be rehabilitated. Maybe that guy was guilty and he really can't be rehabilitated.
I'm also opposed to reactionary law implementation, but this same exact story in the initial thread plays out over and over again in Massachusetts because we coddle people like this and blame "the system" or "their life circumstances" for the fact they like to diddle kids.Our politicians really like to beef up child molestation and sex offender laws and penalties. Who would dare be the politician to vote in favor of sex offenders? You want to increase the penalty for piddling kiddies? Sure! Politician A supports that measure! Make sure to put that on the pamphlet! I think we sometimes forget how quick and easy it is to sway a jury with no physical evidence whatsoever, and how unique people can be, and how some people can change regardless of how horrible their crime is.
Sorry someone else changed it. My old title wasn't good however and I trust the moderators on doing what's best for a better discussion.Glad the title relates to a mature discussion...
1) Get rid of the violent pedofile...
do you really consider this a solution to any sort of problem...?
Pretty much this. Our justice system is not perfect so i can see why somOne bullet to the forehead.
man what the fuckIf they thought he'd die from AIDS, why didn't they just not give him medication?
Quantum computing makes all of those things barring the last possible.And I look forward to the day when we can predict the weather perfectly for more than a couple of weeks. Oh, and a way to find the exact position and momentum of something at the same time would be awesome.
Also I'd love to be able to do everything for free with no consequences whatsoever.
yeah, but, in fairness, that's not any worse thman what the fuck
What? We can get passed the uncertainty principle with quantum computing now? Holy fuck that shit's cool.Quantum computing makes all of those things barring the last possible.
I'd rather die from a bullet to the head than slowly of aids!!!yeah, but, in fairness, that's not any worse than everyone else's "let's just kill him" proposal
Okay I'm sorry but before I get into my opinion, which agrees with DM, I'd just like to say, hey, I was raped too! Multiple times! By several people! Over years and years! Not every rape victim feels the same way. You're doing a disservice to them as well by lumping them all together in the same group.Excuse me I just raped a kid. Kindly tell me what was going through my mind as I enjoyed doing it. Oh, well, I suppose you already know my thought process then. I wanted to rape a kid so I did. We can play the "oh, you have to relate to their situation" card all day, but then we'd all be happy without punishment.
The fact of the matter is that he's done it before. Ok, no, not all of these people are psychotic messes. However this man obviously has a recurrent penchant for raping children. It's not like he can do this over and over and not hit the boiling point. I don't know if he deserves to die, but I'm not going to sit here and say it isn't reasonable at this point for this case. I'm inclined to completely agree with Hipmonlee.
