[Truth is a Weapon]

He should be castrated and skinned alive. He should be given drugs to keep him conscious. Then he should be dismembered put in a pile and burned. His wife should be tied up next to him knowing she is going to get the same, save the castration. All of this should be recorded and every sex offender should be forced to watch the video. To take someone's freedom for 19 years is real close to killing them. For some people the pain may be worse. Her poor parents had to relive their pain over and over. It is wonderful she is alive. I took my best shot but I don't think I was nearly imaginative enough with the punishment.

Where is Saddam and his industrial shredding machines (set on 'slow' of course) when you REALLY need 'em?

Of all medieval punishments, breaking on the wheel was supposed to be the worst. The convict was tied firmly to a wagon wheel on an axle. He received a thorough beating with iron crowbars to break every major bone in his body, and then the wheel was spun until he died. The fractured ends of the bones would continually grind against each other, causing incessant agonizing pain for the several days it took to die. The Russian czars used this one freely on their subjects.

ALL, I am sickened and disgusted by all the so-called conservatives ,self-labeled freepers and others who are vying to devise ever more vile tortures and means of abuse and extended,excruciating means of executing the kidnapper/rapist.It has even been proposed we should have spared and kept a mass murderer captive solely to gruesomely execute sex offenders.Ever hear of "a cure worse than the disease"?

Have any of you spent even a portion of that hatred towards those who MURDER ,practically routinely,in this nation and elsewhere,yet are as routinely paroled?An estimated 20,000 paroled KILLERS walk the streets and where is your outrage? DEATH is permanent,a fate which this girl was spared.Or are all you willing to propose your barbaric tortures upon the thousands of abortion doctors who kill a MILLION babies a year?But ONLY this particular kidnapping and rape spurs you to invective and violent fantasies,which you utter from behind the safety of your keyboards?

If you don't like the laws and the punishment meted out to kidnappers and other criminals then ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING to CHANGE the SYSTEM: WORK to have the laws changed,campaign against politicians who are soft on criminals,VOTE in every election after carefully considering the candidates.And keep in mind that there are about a BILLION adherents of a system which wouldn't find this kidnapper/rapist all that disturbing,so better hope they don't take over here.

When and if the courts find any criminal deserving of the death penalty it ought to be done by a means that is quick and doesn't constitute entertainment for the sick minds who revel in seeing ANYONE tortured.

There is no punishment that can be conceived of by man that would bring justice in this case. Even drawing and quartering would be grossly insufficient.

These are dangerous, rabid animals and should be treated as such. Don't try to punish them. Don't try to extract justice. Just remove them from this Earth as quickly as possible.

Take them out back, shoot them, burn the remains, and bury their ashes with with equal measures of lye in a landfill somewhere.

The victim and her children (who are also victims of these animals) will spend the rest of their lives trying to recover from what was done to them. They deserve the right to do so without worrying that the animals that did this to them may get out someday and do it again.

I think I’ll let God punish him after he dies. satan and his demons will be tormenting him for all eternity. That’s good enough for me.
