To those goody goodys out there
Give me a reason why they would keep that asshole alive that sexually molested a three year old today?
They should keep him alive so they can put him in jail and be molested by large hairy men.
The punishment should fit the crime.
Maybe have him tatted up like this first, just to be sure.(taken from funny photos thread)
i'm not condoning his actions in any way- it makes my stomach turn to think anybody could molest an infant, but the death penalty is not the answer. i'll give you more than one reason:
1. because it costs more to put a prisoner to death than keep them in gaol, (constant appeals, time spent on death row, and all the crap that goes on with the actual execution)
2. when new evidence comes to light it's a bit late to change the outcome (eg lindy chamberlain). plenty of innocent men have been executed in the u.s.
3. because it's barbaric
4. because the state should lead by example: you don't condemn the taking of a life by the taking of another, all you do is officially cheapen life
5. it doesn't work as a deterrent- sick ****s still commit sick crimes no matter what the punishment

Sounds like someone's been listening to commercial AM radio. How about you post a link to the story, I've just checked the news sites and I can't see it.
Yes, I think he should die, likewise for anyone that commits those type of crimes. If a few innocent men have to die wrongly convicted in the long run so be it. If there is enough evidence to convict someone in the first place, they're are pretty suss anyway.
Nice attitude Mackeral,
but before you get too enthusiastic with the noose, or poison jab-
have a look at the history of our legal system- there are a lot in Australia- and Western Australia who were locked up and had thier lives ruined, because the police and prosecutors at the time reckoned the accused was guilty- and if they couldnt find the evidence- tough luck, they would manufacture the evidence or conceal any that proved innocence.
I am all for the death penalty when there is absolutely no doubt- but I dont have enough faith in our legal system to trust it with taking someones life just yet.

Death penalty when there is absolutly no doubt in anyones mind. Should have been given to Martin Bryant, this Batman killer should get it to.
Forget the death penalty and just let the parents and family have 30 minutes alone with the guy who does that to their child.
Might mean the same thing eh?
