If there were any true justice left in America, John Couey would already be dead.
Couey is the evil monster who molested, raped, tortured and then buried alive little 9-year-old Jessie Lunsford. A jury sentenced him to death last week.
Couey doesn't deserve any more food, oxygen or any other creature comfort. We should kill him as soon as possible. If his death takes years to carry out the sentence, there will be no justice. I want all child molesters executed, not just murderers like John Couey. I do not care if the child molester is Couey or a priest. Execute all of them. The sooner the better.
The irrefutable fact is that pedophiles have the highest recidivism rates of any criminals. Once released from custody, it is virtually a statistical certainty that they will prey on more of our children and destroy more innocent lives.
Couey was arrested and charged with various crimes 24 times, our pathetic legal system guaranteeing more victims. How much more evil will America take?
If we value our children as we claim, then we should protect our children from these monsters. The only sure way to protect our children is to get rid of pedophiles.

It disgusts me to think that John Couey could be on death row longer than Jessica Lunsford lived. Kill him and all other pedophiles immediately.
Put him in a box and let the little girls family bury him alive.
I think judges should be help responsible for their decisions more often in this country . Half the judges out there are out of their minds and lack ANY common sense at all.
Pain/Sex/Pleasure........
Not a deterrent to perverts!
Why should society bear the cost of this rehabilitation? I agree that what you propose would possibly work, but does the benefit to society outweigh the cost?
In manufacturing, you have a certain percentage of defective units. Throw 'em on the scrap pile.
I think that the real solution is for the government, acting on behalf of "society" -- we the people -- to identify and destroy people like Couey early, before he has a chance to destroy an innocent child's life. You know as well as I do that this character has committed similar, if less notorious, acts early in his career.
This should happen in a dispassionate, predictable way. The fact that government does not do this is the reason that every time something like this happens, we always have people expressing helpless rage by proposing gruesome tortures or, even worse, hoping that a prisoner in the general prison population will do what our government should have been done in the first place.
Here is how I'd like to see this handled: The judge says "You have been found guilty, the sentence is death" then from under his robe he draws a large bore wheel gun and puts a round through the diseased animal's head, thus assuring no recitivism.
Well I didn’t really mean to suggest that it should. Those decisions are to be made by the people’s representatives (in this case at the individual state level). But if such treatment were effective I believe that it would be less costly to the taxpayer than keeping a prisoner for life. I don’t believe (and I am sure you don’t) that many of the more liberal states will pass laws to execute pedophiles (many of them barely imprison them).

I believe here you mean that pedophiles should be executed for lesser crimes of sexual molestation.
The states have it in their power to pass laws to make such crimes punishable by death. They might be overturned on appeal to the Supreme Court (State or Federal). But I would think that the crime would have to be fairly severe to warrant death (more than touching). As much as I hate pedophiles I can’t accept the idea of executing a person for what they might do.
Every so often we read about some young man who has molested a child. I think that if some kind of therapy were available to change the way his brain is hardwired (I have recently read that the human brain is not fully developed until about the age of twenty-five) we could stop his re-offending.
And to go back to the subject of paying for rehabilitation as a condition of release the man could be required to enlist in the military. This was done in the past and I believe that the idea does have merit in this case. For one point it puts the offender in a position of being under fairly constant supervision. Two he could be assigned to combat duty (in time of war) were he could repay his debt to society. In combat he would be in constant sight of his fellow troupes.
The military being aware of his pedophile past could be sure that he was periodically retested.
This is all supposition but I think it is worth some thought. As we all know the present society that we live in does not take capital punishment lightly. The possibility of a medical treatment for these brain damaged retches needs to be looked at.
As for being cheaper to kill him; jus think of all the money Florida will spend on the public defenders and courts as Couey fights his death sentence.
If there were any true justice left in America, John Couey would already be dead.
should read:
If we behaved as a civilized society towards child molesters, John Couey would already be dead.
No civilized society would allow Couey to live.
Ted Nugent ought to run for Congress when he hangs his guitar up -- for no other reason than it would make it interesting.
Really dull ones, with lots of dirt under the edge.
I checked your Freeper Home Page, I knew you had to be a woman:)
Which means the molester has nothing to lose and everything to gain by killing the kid and leaving no witnesses.

Ted, we don't.............just ask the millions upon millions we flushed down the abortionist sinks
...then we should protect our children from these monsters
The ACLU says their rights supersedes the rights of our children
I think its a great idea, its like saving our planet from REAL threats instead of using meteoroligical hysteria to support political ambitions.
What we really need is the modern day Judge Dredd.

That is why I almost puke everytime I hear Dubya mouthing his lame "Islam is a religion of peace" statement.
"What I have been saying, and been called a hater for it:)"
Only by self loathing people! They have a tendency to transfer their hate to others.
"Castration was not a cure as other implements would take the place of the useless one (barf)."
After you castrate them, you kill them! Problem solved!
