Should pedophiles and serial rapists be killed?
Yes.
Well, not pedophiles, but serial rapists should be shot.
Posted by: AlwaysMoreThanYouI have been raped
I have been raped two times in my life and I am 23. Both was because I am a kind and trusting person, which they took advantage of. I am a girl and in this world we are seen as sex toys and not as human beings by these people and we dont have the law on our side to try to prevent them violating us and the rape hurts us for years. I wish there was a better solution than killing them, but to weigh up the pain that throbs in my heart there would be nothing more fitting than death or lifelong prison for ALL of the violators without any hesitation. The world must know that this is not okay or this will go on forever. This should be thought of as just a hard crime as killing. I have suffered while they just laughed in my face afterward.
Posted by: AnonymousYes
I won't lie I have thought of really doing it, hunting them down to terrorize them. To make them suffer how that child or woman suffered. I have educated myself on torture methods and interrogation methods, I'm not evil in my heart or have a twisted mind, I just feel justice should be brought upon those who terrorize the innocent. Call me crazy I don't care but I have a warrior mentality there is no honor in hurting someone who can't fight back.
Posted by: AnonymousNo Mercy - KILL THEM ALL
The legal system's soft stance on rapists and pedophiles has led us to the wretched state the world is in. All this talk of rights / rehabilitation / law. When was the law ever intended to protect the lawless. Why the right to live to these evil horrid individuals when they have mercilessly taken someone elses rights. If the world is to become safer than public capital punishment has to be reintroduced at top speed for all convicted rapists and pedophiles. These people are filthy, disgusting and deserve as much mercy as they showed - NO MERCY. A war has to be waged to establish and protect anyone and everyone from any form of sexual abuse. Our future hangs in the balance - will you answer the call to protect our collective society?

Doing things to innocent children is the most immoral action any human could possibly do. People like this should not be put away in prison where they are looked after, fed and clothed. Let them burn, if not give them to the families they destroyed by partaking in such vile acts.
Posted by: AnonymousRape is inexcusable
For the sake of the innocent, I believe in a fair trial. But once guilt is proven rapists should be savagely killed. I dont buy into the idea that they are "sick" or " born that way" they are fully responsible for what tuey do. Rape one of MY daughtees and I will execute you myself.
Posted by: AnonymousThis shouldn't even be a question.
Hang them, make them suffer, and finally put an end to their lives. Yes this sounds evil and very disturbing, however these are two things that I cannot stand. I do not understand how they are not in jail for life. You are doing harm in multiple ways to an innocent person. They will live with the horror the rest of their lives and they will never be the same. I am generally a peaceful person and I never encourage violence but seriously something about this debate really brings out the fire in me. Hurting in the innocence on this high of a level is something I cannot stand for. Protect the innocent by any means necessary and set brutal examples for future pedophiles and serial rapists so that they understand that the public does not let offenders walk free.
Posted by: Anonymous@Mr_Anon and 16kadams
To start off I want to say that yes serial rapists and pedophiles should be killed. But if the justice system grew a pair, we wouldn't need to have a costly capital punishment. One .45 ACP to the dome should make it sure that he/she won't be getting back up anytime soon. Who cared about how much pain these people feel? Put that in contrast to the pain that they have caused to others.
Posted by: immacul4teUntil the penal system is managed in a way in which prisoners don't cost so much money to keep, pedophiles and serial rapists should be killed.
It costs somewhere in the range of $40,000 a year, just to house one prisoner. This is an insane figure, and I do not want to pay this bill. I especially do not want to pay this bill to house humans that do not contribute in any way to bettering society and, instead, only contribute to making society more dangerous. Until prisons stop being big business and really become about rehabilitation, I do not want to pay to keep rotting trash around.
Posted by: J Lamb 43Yes rapists Are Scumbags
They are not worthy of life. They are vile creatures that take an innocent person and shame them and hurt them like no other. My mother was nearly raped by a New York City Cop, do men who violate women deserve mercy? Do the unmerciful deserve mercy? Hell no. Hang em high is what I say, all of them, that will teach society that rape will not be tolerated and instead of blaming the victim we can do the right thing and kill the menace to society.
Posted by: AnonymousFace it. It's the only way to stop it, and it should be televised worldwide.
Execute them and televise it. That way it would scare any other future people from raping or doing the same thing. If caught they will be killed. Warn other rapists that even if they attempt to kill their victims they will be caught using DNA evidence. They would never do such a thing ever again.
Posted by: AnonymousYes, for the greatest evil.
The kind of person who would commit such as heinous crime as raping a child or mass murder is deserving of the ultimate punishment. People who commit crimes like that aren't like you or me. They enjoyed it. They got off on it. Maybe I could forgive someone who killed for money, but someone who killed for fun? Forget it. And I'm not even going to discuss mercy for pedophiles.
Posted by: AnonymousThey need to be punished.
They should die for being so evil and hurting people. Their life is not worth trying to fix. They can't be trusted. They should never be let out of prison, or they should be killed. That is what should happen to evil people who rape or hurt children, especially in a sexual way.
Posted by: AnonymousAbsolutely positively yes
They should have been killed in the moment, what gives a person the right to do that to someone's little girl/boy? No matter how old? If capital punishment was ensured for rapists with DNA evidence, there would be a lot less of it. And to the judge who let child molesters off with 4 years? You should be killed, too.
Posted by: AnonymousYes they should be castrated and put in special pedo institution
They should be castrated so they can't get kids and have there digits chopped off so they cant offend. Then they should be segregated from society like serious mental health patients because that's what they are. I hate them they really make me sick they are flawed human beings. They cost the country money because we need to clean up all the damage of there victims and then imprison them. If one got any of my loved ones I'd want a law which punishes them akin to the above.
Posted by: AnonymousThey should be killed no matter what.
They could rape a girl and get her pregnant and she would be scared to have sex with anyone. Even if they have anger or fetish it's still wrong and they should be killed even if people think they just need "help." They can just fake being done with raping and just do it again and again. What if you (females) got raped? Wouldn't you want the rapist dead for what he did to you?
Posted by: AnonymousREAD AND REPLY
It costs tax payers £400 per week to keep 1 pedophile alive? Why not use them as crash test dummys, we would have safer cars and be able to watch them splatter all over the place as this is all they deserve! Think about the children and not them you fools.
Posted by: AnonymousScum of the earth
They should all be lined up and shot like the dirty dogs that they are. It is sickening that people get longer sentences for non violent drug offences than sexual abuse crimes. Our legal system is in the gutter If I find any of these people abusing someone close to me.. Well god help them.
Posted by: AnonymousYes
Extremism in the defence of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. Justice needs to be done and if it means slaughtering those animals so be it. Justice is not pretty, justice is harsh. Treating humanely the foul creatures that embody everything that humanism is not, no these "people" are no humans and therefore the deserve no humane treatment.
Posted by: AnonymousThey lost their rights.
Too many times I see the victims that are left alive. The actions of the pedophile crosses the line and breaks the law and damages their victims and violates their rights and even takes them away. If we cant take a pedophiles rights away then why can they take their victims rights away and get away with it. I read it, I see it in victims eyes and see the differences in them and if the child is alive and young enough there is severe changes. Hiding in their house from living is not a good representation of living. How is that fair to the victim? Laws are set and too wide and can support the offender to the extent that they are let free or released to do it again. Go back 100 years and they would be dead but supposedly we're in enlightened times and we just let them live and let them do it again. Where is that right, please tell me.
Posted by: AnonymousDeath to sexual predators.
There's no reason to support these monsters in prison, and too often they get released. If they're dead, they can't hurt another innocent. We need to keep our priorities straight, which means the safety of society should always come first. Everyone deserves an innocent childhood. Everyone should have the right to say no, and no one has the right to force themselves on someone who says no. We have the rights to our own bodies. Anyone who violates someone's right to consent does not belong in this world. We can't have a safe and civilized society as long as these freaks of nature exist.
Posted by: AnonymousThey are inhuman.
They deserve to die. Not only are they evil, but most of them continue to rape when they are released from prison. They are sick and deserve no place in this society. If someone is willing to destroy another person's life, there's should be ended. Scum like this need to be removed from society.
Posted by: Anonymous@Mr_Anon
Depends on the state. States that have efficient DP systems--like Virginia--the DP is cheaper then LWOP. In Texas, a 2006 study found it about the same, and many other analysis's find the DP either cheaper or about even. And a 2009 CJLF study finds based on current evidence your position is not justified. And, also, pedophiles are bitchy so they should be killed... Screw Jerry Sandusky, and lets hope he goes to hell.
Posted by: 16kadamsPedophiles and serial rapists cannot be rehabilitated.
Most rapists/molesters do not stop once they've gone to prison. They cannot be rehabilitated and will hurt countless victims in their lifetime. Why should we keep these people alive? They've left their victims with a life sentence--their victims will never forget what was done to them and these criminals don't even care. In fact, most don't even think they've done something wrong. Save the money used to lock them up and kill them.
Posted by: AnonymousWhy keep evil alive?
I was molested when I was a kid by a family friend. Now having grown up and having kids of my own, I keep an extra eye on where my kids are. These pedophiles/rapists should be slowly tortured before being executed. In today's society since torture for these evil people will be deemed uncivilised, they should be executed. It does not matter if they have raped or raped and killed. They should deserve capital punishment.
Posted by: AnonymousYes they should
Those disgusting excuses for a human being with no social abilities should be tortured until they are bloody broken and bruised...shot in each limb and each nail of their toes and fingernails removed slowly with a knife, slicing into their fingers at the same time. Teeth pulled too, in pain.
Posted by: AnonymousKill every last one of them!
I'm a male, and a very moral Christian, all for forgiveness, but I would personally SLAUGHTER every rapist and child molester on the planet if I had the means. I've had training and I'm strong, so I personally HATE the idea of anyone attacking an innocent person that can't fight back. Sexual assault is a crime that NEVER leaves the victim. You don't have to have been a victim to know that. Prove the attacker's guilt, then put them down like the filthy abominations that they are. Public execution to send a message.
Posted by: AnonymousThey don't deserve to live.
They should be killed because it is wrong. The people they hurt have to live with it their entire lives knowing that the person is still alive and breathing in jail while they are scared to trust or be with someone ever again. Also, most people never want to see a rapist or pedophile in their life so why not just kill them and make everyone happy?
Posted by: AnonymousPedophiles and rapists are Monsters
Pedophiles and rapists, as well as monsters that torture or kill animals should be put to death immediately. They have no conscience, no remorse, no RIGHT to be on this earth. If you have that in your mind, you have a want or desire to hurt, rape torture people, animals, children, babies....You DO NOT DESERVE TO BE ALIVE. To me that is Satan embodied.
Posted by: AnonymousRapists should be killed for the lives they kill.
I have a brother and a half sister that have been raped as kids, Tina by her father and Tony by a so-called friend a little older than him. Our tax dollars should not be spent to take care of these people. once convicted they should go directly to death row, no if and or butts! these people will and can never be the same. it is not just a personal thing, it changes families and lives that we should not be keeping alive with tax money
Posted by: AnonymousThey do not deserve life.
Serial rapists and pedophiles are never truly rehabilitated, so why should we pay for them to live in a jail cell? They could rape other people in the jail, which is dangerous enough already. Kill them and be done with their dirty deeds. They made their own choice to destroy another life, and for such they should forfeit theirs.
Posted by: AnonymousI was molested.
Every day I try to push by the fact that my brother and sister and i were molested the only single thought I have though instead of moving on is revenge. because I can not have a normal life. instead I live one being afraid of degradation, and not even being able to make love to my own girlfriend, because even that brings back bad memories. so I say kill them. kill the ones who actually did it. because on the same subject i can agree that to many are wrongly convicted. i say let it be in the hands of those they hurt.
Posted by: AnonymousYes because they are not human anymore
I think if someone is capable of doing evil and sick crimes like rape/pedophilia/molestation then they should no longer be defined as a human with legal, civil or religious rights and should be euthanized like a rabid animal because they have shown that they do not possess the self control or morality of a healthy human being that should be a member of human civilization. For the religious people out there, if god wants to punish evil doers and humans were made in her/his/it's image then god wouldn't mind his creations to punish them as well. In fact would welcome the opportunity to send an evil doer to god's justice sooner and since gods justice happens after mortal death, then it is logically sound for evil doers to be euthanized humanely.
Posted by: AnonymousI don't think people have an inherent right to life.
No other way! They have to be killed as the crimes they have committed is unpardonable. Leaving them free is a threat to society. Killing them would at least be a lesson for those who think of committing this crime. Their heads should be chopped off in public. That is my recommendation.
Posted by: AnonymousYES YES YES!
They're all a bunch of sick criminals that prey on the more weaker and vulnerable members of society. And deserve nothing less than being put on the bad end of a rifle. I went to school with a girl that was raped multiple times in her life and she resorted to many terrible things like self-harm and attempted suicide multiple times, these sickos ruin lives completely and should be treated in the same manner as the animals that they are.
Sincerely,
An Angry British ManPosted by: AnonymousTHEY MUST SUFFER
These Seamus take the most precious thing on gods green earth a child and destroy there life. I say we kill all those pedos and serial rapists and hang them they are pathetic human trash. A murder is better then a Pedo. I hope that we enforce death penalty on Pedos and serial rapists. If anyone did that to my family I'd kill them with out a second thought. I'll let my AK be the judge, jury, and executioner if I ever caught anyone in my family get raped.
Posted by: AnonymousNo Rapist should Live.
Rape has become a huge Threat in the country. One after the other, Humans are turning into Animals!
Our great law is breeding rapists by giving them soft punishments, letting them free and taking care of them in jails - providing shelter food n clothing.
There is No shadow of Doubt about whether a rapist has to be tracked down & killed. The Police has the ultimate responsibility of protecting Each & Every Citizen of this country, irrespective of whether they are rich/poor. Police force incapable of serving the needs & protecting the people must be thrown out of their positions & dismissed. We cannot bear this anymore. Enough is Enough.Posted by: AnonymousYes.
(assuming the pedophile is someone who has acted on his urges) Rape and molestation cause serious psychological damage to their victims that lasts for years. Post-traumatic stress has a habit of popping back into the victim's lives years down the line; It can trigger eating disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, self harm, fear of touch and/or sex, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, and many other debilitating mental disorders. Anyone who would put this onto another person for their own temporary pleasure does not deserve to live.
Posted by: AnonymousDeath to sexual offenders.
My father was touched by a pedophile and he still is messed up. He told me to get the closure of knowing no more harm can be done by such an entity soothes all of those who were hurt by such a perpetrator. If you have done such a horrible crime you deserve an equal punishment. Death to the sexual offenders.
Posted by: Anonymous
Pedophiles and rapists should be punished, but capital punishment should be reserved for murderers.
I strongly believe that rapists and pedophiles deserve to be punished harshly for their crimes. I also know that the rehabilitation of serial sex offenders is extremely difficult. But, I do not believe that capital punishment is appropriate for sex crimes, unless there has been murder involved. Capital punishment should be reserved for cold-blooded killers.
Posted by: ddeathnoteNo.
1. Too many people are wrongly convicted.
2. The motive of death penalty is revenge, not punishment and therefore unjust.
3. Putting them away for life w/o parole in maximum security prison is already an effective way to prevent repeat of crime. The cost of putting someone away should never be a reason to justify killing someone. If that's the case, we should execute everyone who receives life sentence.Posted by: AnonymousThey are mentally disturbed from birth.
What pedophiles and serial rapists have in common is that they're both born with a fetish. One is attracted to innocent children while the other rapes innocent victims. Clearly both cannot help it, that is why it is considered a sickness. Our North American norm says that having sex with children is bad, but in some other countries it is considered fine. Who is right? No one is. There is no right. Since we live in North America, our norm says it isn't right so they should be taken to a mental institution or jail for pedophiles and serial rapists, since they would die in a regular jail. They don't deserve to die for something they can't help. Might as well go kill your mentally challenged kid too.
Posted by: AnonymousAre you serious?
Killing a pedophile would make the executioner a murderer, for pedophilia in and of itself is not a crime nor in my opinion a mental disorder, as I do not believe in sexual deviance.
Pedophilia is no different from being gay, people hate it because of the media spreading false assumptions about the orientation.
Not all pedos are child molesters nor will all pedos be in danger of becoming one, and even molesters do not deserve to be killed for their crimes.
Not long ago, black people were considered sub-human, but that too was a fallacy.
Too many laws are being corruptly founded these days, like the ban of art that features ficticious hardcore depictions of children. Would you immediately go rape the nearest woman if you viewed pornography? I doubt it. So why would a pedophile go do that to a kid?
The answer is that most dont, and the ones who do have other pre-existing mental issues and other problems outside their sex life that are the true cause. Nobody who isnt already at least partially insane from something else actually gets any enjoyment from assaulting others.
Killing these people and claiming to be an ally of justice is also rather hypocritical if it were to be done.
If we focused our attention on stopping the criminals who rape children and ignored people who merely are attracted to them we might actually make some progress.
We also need to learn to respect the fact that children have their own opinions and can be taught to not be so easily manipulated if we just make the effort to learn the proper method of doing so.
Children are often wiser than adults even if not yet as full of knowledge, thus if we teach them properly, all they'll need us for is supporting muscle in terms of self-defense. Even then teaching them martial arts help keep that at a minimum.
I think a legal type of relationship between non-rapist pedos and children might be possible someday if we can get past the stereotypes even though I know the sexual kind is probably a stretch.
I dont really care though as I myself am not into this whole "have a relationship with any living being other than yourself" type of deal. I'm satisfied with narcissism.
I am however deeply depressed and still somewhat in shock at how low humanity has stooped in their infighting, next thing you know people will be declared inhuman and not worthy of living just because they like to eat a different kind of food or dislike a certain hobby that everyone else deems "sacred".
Anyhow, people should know that killing someone makes you no better than they are. I'm not saying youre not entitled to defend yourself if someone attacks you, but starting a witch hunt is far worse a crime against morality than the rape of children.
Yes the ones who did hurt children need punishment but tossing them into a psych ward or prison and leaving them live with what theyve done is enough, especially since there is the inherent risk that an inmate might maim or kill them or that they may commit suicide despite the security staff's "efforts".
Really, theres so much they suffer through its only fair that we improve the conditions they live through, theres punishment and then theres going full Hitler which is way over the top.Posted by: AnonymousNo, what would keep them from killing the victim?
If you make crimes like rape punishable by death, what would prevent the offender from killing the victim? He already knows he is going to die so he would have no restraint. Making rape sentences of 15 years would make following murder an additional sentence of life in prison, preventing the ladder. "Rational Choice Theory."
Posted by: Anonymouswell not really
I know Rapists are very bad people, but as long as the victim doesn't die from rape, then the rapist shouldn't get the death penalty. If the victim dies from rape, then rapists do deserve the death penalty. As for pedophiles, they are mentally ill but giving the death penalty to pedophiles is just ridiculous. Pedophiles should seek some help. There have been reports that pedophilia might be legal. This is just my opinion on this.
Posted by: AnonymousDeath is an escape for them
I am saying no to killing not because I pity those scams but I believe death is just a quick escape for them. Life in prison with no chance of parole is a more suitable punishment, they will have their whole life to think about what they have done and pay for it. 23hrs everyday for the rest of your life in a room the size of a cubical with minimum lighting in that room. That for them in my opinion is a more fitting punishment
Posted by: AnonymousNo, because the law should be above human emotion
If a close family member was raped, I would probably consider killing whoever did it. If I discovered the crime in progress, I doubt I could prevent myself from using lethal force.
However, the law needs to be better than me. If I wasn't there when it happened, how am I supposed to know for sure that the rape occurred? Should anybody be allowed to take the law into their own hands and kill people without due process? No. Even if the person had the best of intentions, what if they make a mistake?
The legal system has safeguards against this. No, it isn't always successful; a lot of people who are acquitted should be in prison, and a lot of people are wrongfully convicted though they are not guilty. But, it is the best method we have for obtaining justice right now. The police investigate the crime. A grand jury indicts the suspect. The prosecution presents the evidence, the defense rebuts it, and the jury makes a determination of guilt. Only then does the Judge hand down a sentence.
Should death be the sentence for serial rapists? Again no, on both a pragmatic and moral basis. First, we know that capital punishment costs the state more than lifelong imprisonment. Death row inmates cost much more money to house, and we hesitate to execute them before we are as absolutely certain of their guilt as possible.
Morally, capital punishment is reprehensible. The government imprisons criminals to separate them from law abiding citizens. Killing them is petty revenge; it solves nothing, it does not deter crime and it poses too grave a risk to society. It is better to let a thousand criminals go free than murder an innocent person. Furthermore, the government should not be authorized to take a life outside of a formal declaration of war - the ramifications are too great. A life can be redeemed. Death is permanent. For every other case, we have life in prison.Posted by: CronoDroidNo
Death penalty is not justified. Keep 'em in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives. Contrary to popular belief, the death penalty is more expensive than the alternative.
Posted by: Mr_AnonThey have a mental condition which they are born with.. They should be treated for their disease. not disposed of like animal breeders..
If they haven't killed anyone then they don' t deserve to be killed either. One of God's commaandments says thou shall not kill. Our Ex President Bush who bombed and killed innocent people in Iraq along with his viee president Cheney deserve the death penalty for what they did to Iraq and the laws of war they broe weren't even prossecuted there are too many double standards in this country for they wealthy and power hungry.
