Why don't peados/rapists get publicly killed?

I was effin sick when that guy raped a baby :eek: :eek: :eek:

And when they showed his pic - he deffo looked like Satan in disguise.

I don't want Capital Punishment in this country but why don't there be a exception OR that they get sent to eg. Iraq and get publicly beheaded?

Because of course they would get life imprisonment but I feel genuine evil people deserve an early death - so we can reclaim some peace & justice.

People in the UK are shocked when eg. Al-Qaeda behead a hostage so why don't we make something where paedos/rapists are put front of the victim's family & friends and the family decide how to punish him?

Not only will this stop potential paedos/rapists but the victims's family will get some long due justice right?

The only people to complain will be ... Human Rights followers lmao

Because we are not a barbaric country like Iran where they kill people because the book says so?

rizzyh - that post is horrific. Sorry. But it appears you have no moral understanding of justice.

I think you will find that capital punishment has been proven not to deter criminals. Also I'd rather that they suffered in prison than get an easy way out (ie. death)

im not sure about beheading, but it is sickeneing how ppl like the guy who raped that baby can get off with only 5 years. Many people get jail for a lot more than that for much more minor offences. I cannot believe what this country's legal system has become. They are setting him free just to harm more people.

Well, I don't like the idea of capital punishment done humanely in private. So, no, I'm not gonna like public executions.

Human Rights, lmao!
i think there should be stricter punishments....

but sry riz dont agree with the killing... then again no one can truely comment on the matter unless they have been directly effected by it? rite or wrong?

plus you make it sound prison will be fun? he'll be on constant watch to prevent other inmates breaking his ****ing neck - but yeah he should be imprisoned for life

Wrong. Anyone can comment on anything. It's up to those reading/hearing the comments to make up their mind if they agree or not.
hmmmmmmmm.... Totally true

Prison for life, as opposed to a stupidly short amount of time, would be a far more horrible punishment.
Pedophiles/rapists/murderers/people who commit treason should all be hung(not in public though)

I agree that life in prison should mean life and punishments for violent crimes should be much harsher than they are now. It makes me sick when people are convicted of muder but then parolled after 5 measly years.
I generally don't agree with capital punishment but I would support the castration of serial rapists.

We live in a society which purports to be civilised. How can we be justified in promoting capital punishment. No civilised country in the West uses it.


What about the USA?

Sorry, I don't have any back copies of the Times lying around. It does happen. Read the papers.
Death penalty for paedophiles and rapists? No, I'd rather they served lengthy (20+ year) prison terms. Also I think they should all be castrated by a blind man with a blunt knife and no anaesthetic, but that's just my opinion.

I read the papers every day and can't think of a case where someone has been convicted of murder and let out after 5 years.

yeah they should rot in jail for the rest of their lives rather than take the easy way out through capital punishment

They don't get publicly killed because it does not serve the greater good -- society.

How can a government condemn murder, yet inflict it itself?

Firstly, people will grow up watching these so called "public killings" and truly start to believe that it is right, as you are saying it is, to kill people who fall outside certain social norms. You really think this will bring balance, peace and justice to a society?

Secondly, paedophilia is a social construct: the legal age in England is often different to that of other countries. People are biologically mature at a fairly young age. The state, however, decides that people are mentally mature enough to have sex on their 16th birthday. Again, this isn't the case in all countries. Values and norms are constant over neither place nor time.

While some cases are blatantly just wrong, making "exceptions" and publicly killing them must be equally as wrong. Not from a moral standpoint, but a pragmatic standpoint: it just doesn't work.
