Child Molesters and the Death Penalty
You know I have an opinion about this. Mandatory death penalty for child molesters, period. It is probably not "politically correct" and some would consider the death penalty either "cruel and unusual punishment," that it violates the Constitution, and some say that only God has the right to end a life, "WWJD????," and other bull-dukey. To them I say "Tough Twinkies." Our Constitution allows the killing of other humans in war-time. Congress has the right to determine when a war is called for...killing is condoned under the Constitution...even the "collateral damage" of civilians in Iraq right now, and isn't considered cruel and unusual. Not even when the means of killing is with a bomb. Maybe back in the olden days...olden like in European torture chambers, when people could be killed for complaining about the king, or for not "getting with the program" regarding religion...maybe in Salem, MA...being burned at the stake could be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
But in this day and time when children can be taken from the safety of their home or their neighborhood, raped, tortured, murdered, and dumped like trash in the most cruel and unusual way, their assailants should be "euthanized," or "cleansed." There is no rehabilitation for a perpetrator. Some might argue that the death penalty is retributive punishment and not restorative...that we want to take the life of a murdering sonofabeeeootch because we're mad, rather than to try to understand the lousy childhood that made these perverts commit the heinous act they did. Damn right...but it will never, ever take away the pain and terror suffered by that child, nor the agony those parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, neighbors, and classmates will suffer for the rest of their lives. But it WILL remove one buttwipe from the face of this earth. There should be mandatory death sentences for these people. No change of venue, no mitigating circumstances, no obstacles placed in the way of the police who are charged with finding these beasts living among us, nothing standing in the way of the prosecutors trying to get these monsters off the streets.
And frankly, I am sick to death of even one cent of my taxes going to support these people in prison. My husband works his butt off to put a roof over our heads, and if he doesn't work, we have no heat, no lights, no food, no clothes, no medical care. I think our prison system is f---ed up...people who have minor drug infractions are in jail. Turn them the frig loose...give them out-patient services, rehabilitation if they want it. Put criminals in jail. Put child molesters to death.
I thought the word "penitentiary" comes from the word "penitent" which means to be sorry, to express humble or regretful sorrow for sins or offenses...remorse for those things done which cannot be remedied. I don't see that happening in penitentiaries with child molesters. The penitentiaries aren't working for these losers. How many dead children's names can we list right off the tops of our heads...Adam Walsh, Polly Klass, Danielle Van Dam, Erin..., Megan..., Amber..., Carly Bruccha (sp?), Jessica Lunsford, and the lastest, Christopher... who have been stolen and raped and murdered and dumped like garbage? And how many did I forget to list? How many more before we have had enough? I have had enough.
