  1. Well I'm personally against the death penalty for any crime so in that respect, and perhaps somewhat controversially, I consider this a good thing.

    That said, if you're going to have a death penalty then what for if not child rape?

  2. @Albionshores I'm with you. The raping of a child is one of the most horrendous acts possible, but no one has the right to take the life of another for any reason.

  3. I'm all for the death penalty, but not for a child rapist. Why? Because that is what many of them want. they want to be put out of their misery. I would rather have them put in prison to suffer a turning of the tables in the yard.

  4. He may end up wishing he was executed with how prisoners tend to treat child rapists
