Sorry to rain on your parade, but that headline is the product of a sick mind.
I might agree with that headline if it were removed from the mindless emotionalism that renders it worthless. Perhaps the use of the word "some" might redeem it.
The expected next statement is that I am defending "child molesters". So be it.
Wrongful deaths are caused by a great number of factors. Injuries to innocent people can be the result of an unlimited number of causes, from accident to deliberate planned mass murder.
To state that "the only answer to anyone who causes the death of another should be the death penalty" would also be characterized as the product of a sick mind.
It would cover all forms of murder, as well as the killing while defending one's home and family.
Non-sensical in the extreme.
The present state of civilized criminal justice has a large component of proportionality, rightfully so.
Yes, this is true also of crimes presently categorized as "child molestation", crimes which may be real or merely suggested.
You need professional help.
You work with the nine year boy who has been raped by his grandfather like I have, then tell him the bastard who did that to him should live. I think not. The only ones with sick minds are the ones who want to protect scum like that.
I hope you're comfortable taking the position that John Couey's life should be preserved. You obviously do not have children.
