A little harsh but would you support the death penalty for people found guilty of rape?

[Anonymous]

This is not his first offense. He had already been in prison for rape prior to this. The man on the right is the one who abducted the kindergarten teacher on the right but why was he out in society in the first place? He had already proven himself to be incapable of behaving himself out in public but they released him and he does this again.

[Anonymous]

If he really raped her and/or other women, then yes, I support death penalty. There's no excuse for rape and it's one of the worst crimes that someone can commit.

Thanks for the MHO.

[Agape93]

As I've said dozens of times here, I want them to be flayed alive and nailed to a wooden post, left to slowly die of exposure and infection.

[thatrandomguyagain]

and how does that make YOU any better?

[Agape93]

I'm not a rapist monster. I'm a different kind of monster.

[thatrandomguyagain]

still monster

[Agape93]

Fine by me. Id rather be a monster to other, worse monsters, than be that worse monster. I'll take the damage to my soul, a fair price in my opinion.

[OlderAndWiser]

Doesn't matter how many people would support it. The Supreme Court has said that the death penalty is a disproportionate punishment for crimes that don't involve the death of an innocent victim.

[Jenny-Marie]

A definite no for several reasons. Firstly, rape is easy to allege and difficult to prove innocent so the risk of an unsafe conviction is too great.

Secondly and more importantly, although a horrendous crime, the sentence for rape must never be as severe as for murder.

Let us assume I'm a rapist. Especially with the advent of very specific DNA testing it is very hard to leave a "clean" crime scene, so what do I do?

I can release the victim and risk visual or scientific evidence. If the penalty is death, wouldn't it make more sense to murder the victim and burn the evidence? The penalty would be the same but a lower risk of being caught.

On the other hand, if the penalty was a prison sentence as compared to death, that would change the balance of risk for me. Would murder be worthwhile.

That is my reason for feeling strongly for differential sentencing. Rape should however attract heavier sentences than currently awarded.

Before it's mentioned, I admit that I'm against the death penalty anyway. Apart from the risk of a miscarriage of justice, I think it is barbaric

[thatrandomguyagain]

Exactly. Barbaric and the world has far too many barbarian even without our help. Don't want to become one too.

[420Rachel]

If the victim was a CHILD then YES ABSOLUTELY!!! If anyone EVER messed with my kid like that, I WOULD be going to prison. If I don't kill them I would make sure to permanently disable them. 🥰 I'm by no means a violent person, but when it comes to child abuse, I will get violent. They permanently scar the child's heart and soul when such abuse occurs while the rapist gets to sleep easy at night. Why should a child rapist be allowed to live?

[Still-alive]

hell ill help you with that lol.

[TonightYouu]

So in addition to your child experiencing the trauma of rape you’d double down on that trauma by giving them a motherless childhood abandoning them when they need you the most? I understand your anger but that’s not what’s best for your kid

[Still-alive]

^^ oh... a rape/pedo apologist how nice... /sarcasm

[420Rachel]

Alright if you don't agree with killing pedophiles then we should make sure they can never touch another child again. Perhaps cutting off all of their fingers would work? ✂️ Can't grab a kid with no fingers. 😂

[420Rachel]

I have no sympathy for monsters

[TonightYouu]

No it’s situations like this where violence isn’t the answer given what has happened you’d be totally justified in killing them but it wouldn’t be worth ruining your life im more for rehabilitation and chemical castration I don’t think we should ever say it’s okay to kill anyone rape is terrible but so is murder im Ngl I don’t have an idea at the moment a lot of rapist are victims themselves every mother isn’t as protective as you some women turn a blind eye to their sons being raped just so they could get high or allow pedophiles to have their way with him for money my point being is there is some messed up people out there and yes that doesn’t justify rape but I wish more people understood hurt people hurt people but for now as long as they behave like animals treat them like animals ✂️ chomp away 😂 but you don’t have to kill ‘em

[420Rachel]

Hey I'm all about a compromise 😎✂️✂️✂️.

All jokes aside though it's disgusting what often happens to these people as children, male victims shouldn't be dismissed just because they're boys. However, that doesn't excuse their actions as an adult. I applaud those that are able to heal from their trauma and use it for advocacy for other victims. But for those that don't and who continue the cycle of abuse, need to be stopped in their tracks, permanently.

[TonightYouu]

Or instead of stopping one rapist we put systems in place to stop all rape and do you only feel this way for male rapist because female rapist and pedos get much more lenient sentences most of them don’t go to jail at all no one threatens to kill them people only make rape synonymous with men and not women and it allow these sick rapist women to get away with it most of them completely get away with raping children

[420Rachel]

Female predators deserve the same. I'm an equalist. 👍 I'm so sick of the same old story of the teacher having a sexual relationship with her student and the worst thing happening to her being that she can no longer work in teaching. THROW HER ASS TO THE SHARKS.

[TonightYouu]

There was an episode of law and order svu with a 17 yr old boy who was going around brutally raping older women and the detectives didn’t like him very much until they realized that when he was a little boy his 16 year old babysitter used to rape him and make him have sex with her she didn’t go to jail there wasn’t a case nobody looked into it and at the end of the episode the boy went back to her apartment and brutally murdered her for ruining his life and his mother felt like a grade A POS because she didn't protect her little boy from a predator because she didn’t think that a woman would do that and that was actually one of my favorite episodes because people don’t talk about that but female l pedophiles don’t get the same treatment a lot of them get away with it

And that’s why I let people just talk and when I listen the rapist or pedo most people imagine or assume is male and it’s one of the worst and most vile double standards in society we really need to break this stigma that only men rape or molest children

[YoogurtBro12]

Yeah, lets form a alliance 😂 seriously child abuse is terrible

[420Rachel]

Yeah if I find out that anyone, man or woman, is harming kids, I will do my best to ruin their life. 😁

[TonightYouu]

@YoogurtBro12 settle down Nick fury I don’t want to start a pedo crime fighting team 😂

Even though we totally could the Texas rangers did and they were just a bunch of pissed off dudes with ropes and guns

[420Rachel]

The pedo avengers 😂

[lightbulb27]

not sure on that, but for murder yes.

why we let these people free? there is something the rest of us don't know about the system... probably that it is overflowing... why let out mentally ill people who are walking trauma zombies without therapy. I wouldn't release someone until their crap is resolved, no matter how long.

we need to build more prisons in far away nature places where these people can either be away from society or recover.

can only imagine the horror this woman/these people experience in the last moments of their lives.

[Anonymous]

No Death penalty for rape
Rape isn’t that bad Of a crime as long as condom is used and
If the dude Is being violent then It can be a Bad thing.
But if no violence is involved and protection is used and Dude knows he doesn’t have any STD then it’s not bad thing only bad thing if the girl experiences Physical pain and isn’t Abused in the process.
If the dude goes around finds his victims then that’s Not okay but if the dude Fucks a Girl In his bed she gave Consent but then later When she’s asleep and naked, he Puts condom on Fucks her then it’s not that bad as long as she’s not in any pain she could enjoy it really just depends On each Situation.


Sucks for the victims though But death penalty is A lot that’s murdering someone who Was horny and nobody can control how horny they get but rapist should spend 3 to 6 months or 2 years or longer depending on each Case.

[Opinion Owner]

Bad thing if Girl experiences physical pain not bad thing if she doesn’t

[Anonymous]

No, there are too many false accusations and too many innocent men wrongfully convicted. Linked below is just one example of many. This poor guy served 40 years before being exonerated. He lost 40 years of his life, but at least he is still alive.

https://dailyorange.com/2022/01/anthony-broadwaters-wrongful-rape-conviction-shows-need-justice-system-reform/

[888theGreat]

this is true

[D_Bone_Steak]

I'd rape him with a wooden broomstick and break it off in his ass so he can't pull it out. That's just where I would start... didn't say the torture would stop. That first thing will probably kill him eventually, but he'll go to hell without a penis on him... or any balls, teeth, nails, or eyes. Wounds can be cauterized to keep him around long enough to cut his tongue out as well.

[888theGreat]

Dang , you are even worse

[D_Bone_Steak]

@888theGreat Yeah maybe depending on perspective... but nobody gets raped around me. Nobody does this shit when there are consequences that you'll pay for in a real way. Think about the phrase, "an armed society is a polite society" and what it means ya know. This guy would puss out of such a act if he knew she'd blast is fucking brains out with a gun or that some guy like me would come around to make him really suffer.

But here is what it is... read some of the other peoples' answers. They'd do jack shit. Most likely let him get away with it on some technicality even though it's obvious he did the shit. If you were the victim or one of his potential victims... I'd be the guy you'd probably say is a blessing... or at least justice for you.

[D_Bone_Steak]

He'll get released... and do it again... and again. Mark this guy's name down somewhere and keep track of him once a year... I bet he'll finally murder someone. If the next victim was your girl or your daughter... possibly your son... wouldn't you at least in hindsight wish a guy like me got ahold of him first and wrapped a zip tie around his neck and kept kicking him down as he struggled with it? Better him than your innocent loved ones. ... I lived in Japan for a long time and have a very different mindset about it all. You deserve this and accept this until you pay me to take out the trash... the real police.

[whirled_up_girl]

I don't really support the death penatly, having to live life in prison seems like a fate worse than death. I think I read somewhere that he was let out after 85 percent of his sentence was complete. I can't say I understand the whole early parole, good behavior releast stuff. That seems to defeat the purpose of sentencing.

[Jenny-Marie]

Sentencing takes parole into consideration. A prisoner is more likely to behave rather if an early release is possible. If there is no parole there is no incentive to behave.

[loveslongnails]

Hmmm... interesting that life in prison isn't viewed as punishment enough? Death is too easy for people like that. On the other hand, I'm all for "voluntary suicide" options for dudes like that, in case you don't like the death penalty.

[HighValue]

Only under two circumstances.

1. It has to be proven to be rape with video and audio evidence. Prrof of intercourse is not proof of rape.

AND

2. The same penalty has to be applied to proven false accusers.

[dustybiker]

Keep in mind men rape men too.

Brutal offenders don’t deserve to be housed and fed for the rest of their lives.

[Jenny-Marie]

A prison sentence for sexual crimes, especially against children is no walk in the park. Statistics for tripping over, walking into doors, shutting fingers in doors and other more severe "accidents" etc prove it. Nonces are no more popular in prisons than out.

[dustybiker]

@Jenny-Marie Oh I get that too.

[nawtee_me]

@dustybiker I am okay with women who rape as well getting the death penalty...

[dustybiker]

@nawtee_me It’s a brutal crime.

[dustybiker]

@nawtee_me And I didn’t intentionally leave out woman. There are some nasty pieces of work out there in all shapes and forms.

[nawtee_me]

@dustybiker there are indeed...

[Lynn7dsd]

They should make it a law that if you kill someone and there is extreme evidence... you should get the death penalty. If someone no longer exists because you ended their existence; then you have no right to live.

[Anonymous]

no, I don't really support the death penalty. But I don't support letting pieces of crap roam the streets either. I'm more in favor of programs that provide opportunities for these people to make positive contributions to the communities which they harmed. Not pointless "hard labor", but things that make the community a better place.

[NottaNatty]

I love the optimistic attitude but I feel like this would only work in a perfect world. As some people are too evil to contribute to society in a positive manner I have met a few. But again my respect to you for your optimism!

[Opinion Owner]

@NottaNatty well it wouldn't be "by choice" so much, as it would still be within the prison system. I just know there's a lot of things they could be useful in creating that would 100% make communities better, rather than just killing them for their crimes, or locking them up and "throwing away the key".

[NottaNatty]

Ok yah, now that makes some kinda sense... I guess.

[Missgingles]

Yes!

I dont want our taxes paying for his food for the rest 50 years of his life.

Have them killed:)

[Anonymous]

No, given the chaotic nature of court proceedings on rape cases. Who knows how many of them are actually innocent and you'd just up and kill them for doing nothing wrong.

If evidence were to come up of their innocence they deserve to be released if it was enough to overturn their conviction.

[Adam1978]

No I wouldn't, if you want to be extreme you can always sterilized them. That will remove their sex drive. No reason to kill them.

[jennifer_bloom]

What Gandhi said is that the punishment should fit the crime and murder should be punished with murder.

[thatrandomguyagain]

any sources?

[Levin]

I support the death penalty for any minor infraction.

Death penalty for all. This is my election manifesto.

[888theGreat]

so , you get a speeding ticket and get executed

[Levin]

@888theGreat it will cut crime

[ShadezMcgee]

I figure genital mutilation would be a fate worse than that. Take out anesthesia and make them suffer the whole way through the procedure.

[DermalPunch]

Yes, I think that the death sentence is absolutely appropriate however I do not agree with Tue barbaric execution methods employed in the US.

[YoogurtBro12]

That's was i gonna say

[YoogurtBro12]

Infront of public so nobody dare to do it.
