Ya know... if ICE is authorized by SCrOTUS to openly discriminate, stop, detain, and investigate (if they bother) people based on skin color and accent, I think REAL law enforcement agencies might consider clearing up a backlog of missing kids cases by rounding up ring-wing, white pastors and guys who spout off against "groomers." Odds are in favor of them keeping a LOT of kids a LOT safer. It's a pretty good assumption. Far better probabilities than brown skin being illegally in the country.

There are several things missing here. He was "reportedly seen naked in the girl’s room"? Why was he in that room? Then 'He said he would never change a child’s diaper because he “could not stand urine and feces"', makes it even more strange, what is this man's connection to any of these people? Did he wander in off the street and do this? Is he an Uncle? Cousin? Youth pastor? I mean, there are several huge questions left unanswered. Line him up for a blindfolded aeration, but WTF is going on?

"Johnny Knuckles"....
iBoulderDash
An ancestor of mine was a Confederate general in the Civil War, William MacRae. My uncle has some personal items from him (uniform, sword, and journal). Historically speaking, it is really fascinating. But unfortunately, he was on the wrong side of history. My family dropped the "Mac" part shortly thereafter becoming just "Rae." We don't know the true reason as to why, but I'm just connecting the dots and can probably come up with an educated guess.
OtterlyMagnificent
My own ancestry is Union, but my brother proudly flies a Confederate flag every June without fail...and then wonders why he keeps getting kicked out of gaming and hobby stores...

I can't image why my great-great-grandfather changed his name from Karl Wilhelm Müeller in the 1910's.

That's still a death sentence, just an extrajudicial one.
azgrak1
Life without parole with the stipulation he goes into general population and not into protective custody. He will get to experience hell on earth for as long as he survives.
Targe0
That's still a death sentence.
Just because you obfuscate the method of execution doesn't change it.
dtallen243
Death is too humane for creatures like him. They should all be chemically castrated, all 4 limbs amputated via woodchipper, and then given to Bubba in lockup as "stress relief"
Targe0
That is why we have laws against cruel and unusual punishments.
Because doing that to someone isn't justice, that's just pure vengeance.
And you don't want a legal system built upon vengeance.
Rips4w
I'm against the death penalty being handled by an institution as fallible as a judgement system run by people who want to be in authority. I am not against exterminating dangerous humans.
Fuckimgurcunts
Its hard right? Death is too good but can't risk them going free
breakingcode
I'm the same about concentration camps, but these people should be put in them and be forced to to hard labor till they die, and the money should go to victims and victim causes (NOT some senator's slush fund like it is for the prison industrial complex today).
goodguyC
A coworker of mine told me the other day that when she was 14 she was raped by a 50 year old, one of her classmate's fathers. My immediate reaction was, "if he's not dead yet, we should kill that asshole". I don't approve of the death penalty, but my visceral reaction is kill those people who hurt my friends.
Targe0
Yes, it's the natural emotional response.
Which is why it's best to not do that, because acting on emotional outbursts like that rarely make people do the smart decisions.
FermentTheRich3000
Nope. Death just ends it. Chain him down in a room and any adult victim of child abuse gets up to 10 minutes per day. One rule is he stays alive. Nobody knows if you just tell him what happened or shove a pineapple up his ass. Whatever gets you some healing is fine.
Targe0
For most victims, that is the worst thing you could do to them.
Putting them back into a room with their abuser.
Doesn't matter what the situation is, just being that close to them is a mentally harming burden for them.
alienstomper
See death is quick, this one deserves slow
scoutMoonDiver
And painful.
Targe0
Not painful, it should be dull.
Excruciatingly unstimulating.
So every day blends into the next without any real way to measure the passing of time.
Because years of boredom is actually much more damaging than pain is.
Because after enough pain people just go numb to it.
Oblok
How about going halfway? Sentence specific offending parts of their body to death...
Targe0
That won't stop an abuser.
They will simply use other body parts.
Oblok
The other parts are sentenced to jail. It's a split sentence, literally.
PolitiCat
The death penalty is too easy on them. Imprison them completely isolated and fixated, until their natural end of life, without the possibility of ending their own life prematurely.
misseskitties
Not isolated. Non violent offenders suddenly change their minds when a rapist(especially child rapists) are found with them. Let them handle it.
PolitiCat
This would only shorten the time they need to suffer the consequences. I want them to suffer the longest time possible.
ionicseraph
I mean, we dont have to kill them. There's got to be a modern medical version of chaining them to a cliff and have an eagle rip out and eat their liver every day.
Targe0
That's covered under cruel and unusual punishments and is illegal.
cytherians
Oh, the broken mind that does this is so very broken. And there's the victim. Hopefully she'll recover and not have any memory of what happened, but infant trauma CAN have a subconscious effect on life going forward. Can you imagine if later on she confronts the demon and finds out the man who raped her as an infant is still alive? HE NEEDS TO BE DEAD.
grumpabeme
Send him to prison and gen pop. The problem should take care of itself.
Targe0
That's still a death sentence, just because it's an unofficial one does not change that.
grumpabeme
Yes, and I believe in the Code of Hammurabi for certain offenses. While death was not the offense, living life in terror and never having the feeling of being safe was.
Targe0
And that's not justice, that's vengeance.
And a prison system built around vengeance is one that abuses human rights.
And becomes no better than the inmates it locks up.

Good news! Here in Indiana, we still have the death penalty.
thedudeman519
Nah, that's not good news
https://www.aclu-in.org/news/indiana-resumes-executions/
Targe0
Yes, but as I said, I don't believe in the death penalty as a concept.
I don't think anyone should be killed for what they have done.
They should be put in jail for life, where they can slowly over decades reflect on what they did. Knowing they will never know freedom again.
Death is the easy way out, it never gives them opportunity to regret their actions.
viila
Death penalty for child sexual abuse is an absolutely terrible idea, because it would all but guarantee that reporting would plummet. The vast majority of abuse happens within family or close relatives. Now imagine if reporting that means the abuser has even the possibility of getting the death penalty... Reporting a family member is already a hard thing to do, but condemning one of your loved ones to death would be an insanely high threshold to cross.
Targe0
But often ignoring it and allowing the abuse to continue will do just that.
It's just that it will be the victim who will die.
Margrave9000
Extend the death penalty for not reporting CSA as well, then.
tcbvapor420
It is my understanding that those crimes are not punishable by death b/c the offender may likely murder the victim after sexually assaulting them as the charge is the same.
I’ve never heard it was due to possible lower reporting numbers.
I just think lawmakers figured these sick fucks may resort to murder so “nobody can report me now” type of logic & “the penalty is the same, what do I have to lose, I may get away with it now” after committing murder
Targe0
It's because rape cases are harder to prove than murder is.
And the police go for the easiest charges to prove.
Often for rape in there's not an immediate examination, 90% of the evidence is lost after a few days. So it ends up being a mostly testimony based case with little hard evidence.
But murder has a lot of hard, tangible evidence.
5467yop3
it becomes a class 1 felony when 1st or 2nd degree murder is involved in most states, so they are typically punishable by death or LWOP
kadaeux
If a family member of mine was a kiddy diddler and reporting them would send them to the gallows, I’d report on them while they watched me call it in.
ArchMagos
And they may very well murder you before you could finish dialing 911.
kadaeux
Hahahahhaha. Ah, that’s a good one.
SIDSOS
But I can imagine it would be hard for a victim who is being abused by a parent. They're still your parent and often you want your parents love even in fucked up situations like that. If the parent can say "if you tell anyone, they will kill me and everyone will blame you", it makes reporting even ja4der for the victim.
Just throw them in gen pop and the problem will solve itself
ProjectDA
that person aint family. fuck them.
Roqinn
When he gets to prison and the other inmates hear what he did, they will take care of him.
Targe0
And that's why paedophiles are almost always put into the protective custody wing.
Because it's a death sentence to put them in general pop.
Wolfshead009
Which says something. When people who commit murder think that kiddie rapists are worse and need to be harmed/killed.
Targe0
A lot of people in prison have close ties to child abuse.
Either they were victims themselves or had family and friends who were.
Which is why so many of them have zero tolerance around people who touch kids.
SomeoneSomewhereOrSomething
A lot of them probably also have kids of their own.
Targe0
Yes, a lot of them do.
And you are right, that will also add to it.
RooGryphon
This is the oy way... death to these rabid animals
Targe0
People said that exact same thing before they executed George Stinney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stinney
thedudeman519
Yea man how about lets not give the state a monopoly on violence and on who decides who lives or dies
Targe0
Especially when people can get things wrong.
With a life sentence, you can free the wrongly convicted.
But with a death sentence all they can do is say “Oops, our bad”.
Now, which of those outcomes seems better to account for human error?
As I am fairly sure I know which one George would have picked, the same one that all those executed and later found innocent would pick. And that's sadly a long list of people.
RufusPimperton
The very idea of a justice system is that crime spends ones humanity, ie: to do a crime is to sacrifice your inalienable rights. An eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth is the binary extreme of this, and most philosophers agree such justice is ineffective and immoral. I don't have a solution for what effective justice is, but for cases like these, my base instincts can justify eye gouging.
Targe0
Yes but the full quote is “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind” that saying is condemning retaliative justice. Because it just births more aggrieved parties in the long run.
Meaning that for every act of justice, there is someone who receives a new act of injustice.
RufusPimperton
Yes... Which is why my entire comment is a rant against reciprocal justice, citing the well know quote as it also evokes out knee jerk desires to meet 1:1 (punctuated with outrage against this specific scenario). I don't know what point you're trying to make.
UserNamesArentEasy
Just send him to prison with loose rules. The inmates will solve this problem for us.
serendrewpity
This is what CECOT should be used for. They lose their citizenship and we ship them out of the country to a prison in a foreign nation. Then, on release, they go through an immigration process.
Targe0
That won't work.
No nation would take them for immigration.
Australia has a similar case with a Terrorist.
His nation revoked his citizenship while he was in prison.
So once his sentence ended, no where wanted to take him. So he was just held in an immigration detainment centre, until a solution was worked out.
serendrewpity
Isn't that what I said at a high level. On release he has to go through an immigration process. The details of that process to be worked out (prior to or after his release from CECOT
Targe0
The problems are, that they will be rejected.
As most nations will not accept people who have been charged for such crimes.
So you can not send them anywhere because no where will allow them in.
Immigration only works if the target country allows them entry.
NovaStarone
turn them into eunichs.
Targe0
That doesn't stop them being predators.
They can still harm children and still get sexual satisfaction from it.
It just means they can't get hard.
That's a short-sighted view on how sexual abuse works, and a historically poor solution. Because they used to do that, some places still do. And it doesn't stop an abuser.
thisisnotfineffs
Yea, morally I am 100% in favour of the death penalty for certain people, like unrepentant child rapists, but there's no way it wouldn't end up being abused and used to just murder political enemies etc.
5467yop3
the death penalty is only valid in certain states for capital punishment and a majority (typically over 2/3) decision from a jury, not a judge (State v Poole, Hurst v Florida) making political executions impossible without a decision from supreme court.
cyno01
"This is why we cant have nice things" lol.
anjeleyezjr
You say this like imprisonment isn't already used for that. ANY law system's punishment can be used by the corrupt.
bourbonandbaddecisions
I’m pro death penalty for traitors, seditionists, murders and child abusers.
5467yop3
no more punk rock? murder and in some cases child abuse are class 1 felonies which does permit the death penalty, but what do you mean by traitors and seditionists? it just seems a bit draconian to me
bourbonandbaddecisions
See j6ers and their enablers.
Targe0
The issue with that, is any Draconian Government that comes into power could use such a law to kill their political opponents by branding them traitors and seditious for opposing their rule.
Trump has been doing this for a while trying to label his opponents traitors.
Laws always need to be thought about how they could be misused before you support their enactment.
ProbablyOnlyOnce
That's kinda my take, too. Some acts are so awful that they are deserving of death, but there is not one governing entity that does or could exist that I would trust with deciding what amount of proof is sufficient for meeting out that punishment. You can release an exonerated inmate from a life sentence, but you can't un-dead someone.
Targe0
Too many people have been killed for crimes they have later been proved to have never committed.
Even for things like murder and violent rape.
The false arrest rate for those crimes is insanely high for death row.
4Astaroth
No. Too many people ended up dead from false accusations or cops not doing the job of finding the real criminal and instead just sending someone to death who just walked by. That's why I am always for prison.
ForTheBestReally
Reminds me of the conversation Taravangian had with Dalinar in book three of the stormlight archives(oathbringer). One wrongful death is too many. And I agree. Especially because we are waaaay worse than 1 innocent in 100 or 1000. And it almost always disproportionately affects minority groups.
ProbablyOnlyOnce
I think we're saying the same thing, cuz I think this is pretty spot-on
thetonestarr
Yep this is the only reason I oppose the death penalty. I do believe there are absolutely undeniably people deserving of it, but literally ONE person being executed who shouldn't have been is too many to accept. One.
Margrave9000
Cancer is excised with the surrounding healthy tissue.
Otherwise, it can hide, spread unnoticed and return. Just like fascism or other enemies of civilized societies.
killdread
There's a big hole in that analogy. If you've executed an innocent that means you missed the guilty. The 'cancer' remains.
thetonestarr
Fuck off with that. Equating sentient human life as "surrounding tissue" is the most fucked thing I've read in a long time.
