Saudi paedophile to be beheaded

[McJag]

I vote for this. Seems like every child killed was taken by a repeat offender. Skip the trial when the evidence is totally clear. They already had a chance.

Pedophiles can not be cured. There sick desires seem to be ingrained in their psyche so deeply, they can never be fully suppressed or banished. They learn how to work the system and some say they successfully resist the urges, but admission to resisting means the urges are still there. Killing them or locking them up for life is the only way to keep them in check.

Exactly what I was thinking. Knowing the Saudis, they would have executed the little girls as 'Honor Killings'.

Baby P's "father" will be out within 10 years which is depressing. I'm not sure about beheading people as i'm a liberal but what use is he to humanity? He vacated it a long time ago

[Luminous]

I don't agree with "beheading" anyone (purposely). but def the death penalty

What's the difference? Gas, Injection, Sword?

This guy should have moved to Vermont, they don't care if you molest children there..

I know, but have you ever seen a beheading (on video)? It is so terrifying, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It goes way too far imho

[Wiseguy]

^^^I'm with you - beheading is going too far. Also, it concerns me that he didn't have a lawyer. If he's guilty, then he is the scum of the earth, but the punishment is sickening too.

I don't know, any imminent death would be terrifying for the one who is going to die. But I've read that, historically, a beheading can be swift and painless or a horrible, prolonged death, depending on the executioner. Anne Boleyn paid for a swordsman from France to behead her.


Haven't there been studies about how the death penalty doesn't discourage crime anyway? It would seem to me that pedophilia is a compulsion that many can't control. Maybe castration? Mandatory medication?

Castration, does that work? I just feel that anyone who sexually abuses a child has effectively killed any chance of a normal life for that child. Some kids may come out ok in the end, but the journey is brutal. There are so many pedo's living around me (in a 10 mile radius, thousands). They are the worst kind of human. Sorry this subject is a sore point for me.

I read somewhere that chemical castration almost totally takes away their desire to molest. But they have to be constantly monitored to be sure they're taking the medication, participate in therapy as well. IIRC, the percentage of those who molested again after being chemically castrated was really low, like 3%. But human rights groups are very opposed to it.

I agree. When sex offenders are convicted, jailed and paroled they have learned their lesson to just never be caught again. Seems like that is what drives them to capture kids and make them personal sex slaves. They lower their risk of being caught by keeping one individual for a long time. That happened with Fritzl and Garrido.
