Residents cut off child rapist's penis
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | February 12, 2004

Angry residents of a South African township cut off the penis of a man caught raping a five-year-old girl, police said.

The 26-year-old man was in a critical condition in hospital after the assault, which happened on Sunday at Mandela Park in the East Rand township near Johannesburg, Sergeant Zithini Dlamini told Reuters.

The traumatised girl was being treated for her injuries, which were not life-threatening, she said.

No arrests had yet been made. Members of the child's community would not reveal who assaulted the man when several caught him in the act of raping the child after luring her to a shack, she said.

"Nobody is talking. While we condone the community for catching the man, we would encourage people to come to us rather than taking justice into their own hands," she said.

South Africa has one of the highest rates of reported rape in the world.

If South African Court are like American Courts, they don't dispense justice. American Courts dispense Social Remediation.

I hope nobody there talks.

Sometimes the best response is the most obvious one.

I bet there is not another child rape in that township for YEARS. Justice, true justice, works. Sometimes people need to be reminded that process of the justice system is not justice, the results are, or in many cases, are not.

They caught the SOB in the act - not much to argue here - in this case justice was swift and the punishment most definitely fit the crime. Next case.

Well, if we could do that to Carlie Brucia's murderer before he's fried extra crispy...

I'll volunteer.

(The issue pierces through me, since I have 2 little sisters: a 6-year-old and a 9-year-old)

My first thoughts were that the fantastically mentally disturbed Leftists will try to turn him into a Saint.

But have you noticed how they seem to be silent about such matters nowadays? How can they reconcile things like this when GLSEN/GLAAD/NAMBLA is in their corner?

If you can't use it appropriately then be prepared to lose it unappropriately. I say this should be the world wide punishment for rapists of children!
