Terrorists SUCK

[ThisYouWillDo]

ok so if your daughter is raped, molested murder you woul not want the person who did that to face the death penalty if convicted, i am talk only about crimes against children here

mkemse: I put that message up just to yank Thorne's chain a bit. Tongue in cheek.

But since you ask, I would not expect a rapist to be murdered by the state for that crime: in fact, I do not expect the state to execute a murderer, even a mass murderer or a child killer. It does no good. It doesn't undo the killing, it doesn't permit the killer to recant his crime or to make amends, and it doesn't deter others from killing. Sometimes it creates martyrs. And sometimes an innocent man is executed.

It doesn't even make anyone feel any better.

TYWD

(I would add that, although I am opposed to capital punishment, sometimes I find I have no sympathy for people who are executed for particularly heinous crimes. But I still cannot justify it.)
