Amber Dubois and Chesea King, both teenagers from the San Diego area, are both dead, yet as far as we know their killer(s) are still alive and will hopefully be brought to justice and punished - but what kind of punishment should Amber and Chelsea's killer(s) recieve?
There are laws in place which deal with sexual predators and murderers, yet some people believe those laws need to be changed. John Albert Gardner III who is charged with the murder of Chelsea King had a history of sexual molestation. If he is found guilty, should his punishment be more severe because this is not his first offense?
In the year 2000, John Gardner battered a 13 yr old girl who resisted his sexual advances. Some say John paid for his crime by serving jail time, even though the girl was, according to John Gardner's probabtion report: “quite probably marred ... for life.” Does that really mean he should be able to leave jail and start over with a clean slate as if he had never committed that crime?
Needless to say there are a number of moral, ethical, and social issues at stake here. Without going into all scenarios, or all possible punishments, I would like to narrow things down a bit and then take a vote ...

Death by bungee
Dropped off at a disclosed location in an isolated spot at a designated time...far from civilization.
Fill their mouths with that white foamy stuff that people use as car insulation and let them strangle to death.
Wow, that’s a new one to me!
Public hanging.....from a well lighted crane.
Everglades sound like a real good place to start!!! Also cover them in chicken blood so the gators have a head start!!
There is this punishment called the “death penalty”...
Fill a cage with hungry rats built around his private parts.
Killed in the same manner as his victims.
An Iranian was raping and killing young boys by throwing them off a cliff. His punishment? Off ya go!
And God looked at him and said - “
Let the punishment match the crime.
That blade’s too sharp, and I don’t see any rust.
We would be better off if most murderers were put to death.
An Eye for An Eye
Another idea is turn him over to the victim’s families.
Doesn’t matter to me if it’s the guys first offense or his fiftieth.
The Law has two faces. One face is to punish offenders and rehabilitate them back in to society.
But the other face is where we are simply doing what is necessary to protect the women and children and neighbors we have. No one in their right mind would raise questions if somebody shot and killed a rabid dog in a playground full of children.
The issues are compounded by the fact that the lawyers and judges and juries are NEVER held accountable when there is a screw up. They were just “doing their job”. Just not “doing their job” very well at all!
Lock ‘em in a room w/ ME for 1 hour.
‘haven’t seen the word “fire ants” yet.
