The men and women who this week were arrested in association with the child porn sting carried out by the Justice Department should experience true justice. They should be dragged to Times Square in New York City, hands tied behind their backs, and their crimes should be announced to the packed square and an international TV audience. They should be given no more than two minutes to sort out their business with God.
And then ... they should go meet Him!
They should have their necks stretched, a bullet placed in the back of their heads, or a dozen bowling balls tied to their necks and dropped into the ocean. Or all three.
Whether they watched it or participated in it – and when it comes to moral sin, the Bible doesn't distinguish between the two – they should receive the same sentence. But what these mongrels have done goes beyond the pale of moral indiscretion.
When President Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth, the authorities saw fit to burn and shoot Booth, but also publicly hanged his co-conspirators, including a doctor who treated his broken leg following his shooting of the president. They even hanged the women.
The crime the crew had conspired to commit was so deadly, lethal and dangerous to the nation that it was obvious no wrongdoer in the matter could be allowed sanction.
How much more evil is it for a father to engage in oral sex, even anal intercourse with his 18-month-old infant? How violent an act is it to injure a baby's rectum from such activity? How diabolical is it to videotape it? And how far beyond perverse is it to encourage others to watch while it is done?
My radio audience, in urban areas especially like New York City, seem to always rally against the idea of death penalty. The normal arguments relate to certainty of a convict's association with the crime. The rest argue that God is the only one who can mete out true justice in such a scenario.
In this case – the identity of the sickening dogs is easy to prove – they're the people raping their own children and watching the rapes occur.
So have the "trial" – if its necessary – but that should more or less consist of, "here's the tape of the defendants doing what they are accused of." Once that is proven, then there should be no more delay, no more posturing, no more psychoanalysis calling for "understanding these people's mental state." I have no interest in understanding their reasoning for sodomizing their 18-month-old baby, and I would want to lock up anyone who did.
This is not now, nor should it become, a matter of these persons' mental state, capacity, or potential. There is no need for "intense counseling" where they can uncover "demons that made them do it."
This is a matter of perverse appetite that is so far beyond control that it is unredeemable. The ability to be compassionate to a person in this position should not humanly attainable. And for those who argue that it would be God's will to extend such compassion, then let us agree by sending them to meet Him forthrightly.
Let us return to the public, the benefit to the human psyche, of putting these offenders to death in a brutal and agonizing fashion before the world's TV cameras for all to see. In doing so, we send the resolute message that there is a God, and that it is always better to meet Him on His terms, rather than yours. In scarring our now hardened hearts with the shock of what happens to wrongdoers, perhaps we can avoid the pain that comes with the shock to the innocent of the wrongdoer's actions.
Let Tim Robbins and Jesse Jackson hold the vigil and weep for the pain that the molester will experience. We know they care more for the cause of their agenda rather than the pain of the child who will be stunted mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and perhaps physically – because someone they trusted made their 18-month-old body their own personal pleasure tool.
Determine the facts as to the matter of guilt and let justice be done swiftly.
And let it be so for the sake of our children we seek to protect, and for the restraint it might encourage in others whose proclivity to evil might be stopped.
Try them, show them, hang them – and let the people learn.

I think the dock that set Booths leg was dr. Mudd. He spent his days in Fort Jerrerson in the dry tortugas, west of Key West.
He was a fine doctor there helping both the prisoners and families of the forts attendants.
Don't know if he was in on the scheme from the beginning, I think he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and as a doctor was just doing his job.
Otherwise like usual a very good job John.
Pay per view and you'd make up some of the federal deficit.
I agree with the sentiments, but there's an historical error in that article. The doctor who treated Booth's leg, Dr. Samuel Mudd, was not executed. He was given a life sentence at Ft. Jefferson in the Florida Keys, and won parole about 4 years later, when he was the only physician available to treat a yellow fever epidemic there.
Hear Hear!
Abso-freeking-lootly!!!!! And to the morons that argue the death penalty is not a deterrent, tell them we'll use it to remove such scum from society and the human gene pool!!!
This goes beyond "sick", "perverted", or even "demented", and the practitioners of such shouldn't be allowed to breathe!!!!

I've always thought it was a mistake to remove the criminal from the district in which the crime was committed, send him/her to a state institution far away, and allow - by numerous appeals - time to divorce the crime with punishment.
IMO, if society exercises the option of capital punishment, the society that endorses it ought be held responsible by that execution being held PUBLICLY. In the Mosaic law from which America's law has its root, it was required an accuser face the accused AND take part in the punishment. It carried a more sure deterrant effect - which was the entire purpose of capital punishment.
In studying the local history of my town, the last public hanging at Courthouse Square afforded the townspersons a time of twenty-eight years without one single murder. The "state" became wards of capital punishment and since, murders have occured on average every year since.
One murder was so henious, the perp nailed the elderly man to the wall and made him watch his wife be raped before cutting their throats. The perp is still on "death row".
"Death row" really ought only be a mound.
"slowly burning in oil one body part at a time"
Wow! Can the Neaveau Inquisition be long to come?
And if I am on your jury, don't worry about a thing, unless you forget to pick up the cartridge case.
Then I am afraid it would have to be a $5 fine for littering.
Take the following steps.
1. Place perp in suit of armor
2. Place perp in wooden shack
3. Weld perp's member in a vice
4. Set wooden shack on fire
5. Hand perp a machete
6. Wait outside for perp to emerge holding the bloody spot where his member used to be and then shoot him between the eyes.
What do I win?
Second, I agree with the author that public execution should be brought back but maybe for different reasons.
The "public" very rarely get to see someone "executed". It isn't much a deterrent if the consequences aren't seen. If all you have is a mind picture of it, it doesn't make a lasting impression.
Sure, the "public" get to see people die, but accidents, shootings and such aren't punishments by the government for crimes. Especially in the modern world they are fleeting events that don't impinge on the psyche much.
I believe in the Old Testament, "An eye for an eye". I'm not going to worry whether the convicted offender suffers, or not. Let them suffer in proportion to the suffering they put their victim through when they committed the capitol crime.
Finally, this can be, and is becoming, a drain on society to keep the convicted offender living on death row.
There is a normally a higher cost, monetarily, to incarcerating a convict that is given the death penalty, or a life sentence, than there is with someone that is not going to be put to death. There is waaaaaaaayy too much time between sentence and penalty due to all the legal proceedings.
If it is a clear cut case of guilty then execute them and be done with it.
I have a special spot in my heart for child abusers and what happens there is downright ugly. If it is a clear cut case of guilt, kill them and be done with it.
Otherwise, I might do things that would put my soul in jeopardy.
