More and more reason to execute all pedophiles.

If that 11 year old girl was my daughter....there would have been 19 that would have experienced my “A Time To Kill” moment

The important part is “11 years old”.

A town of 8,000 people and it took months for someone to get the authorities involved?!

The thing is about this guy is that he turned himself in, so
I want to know if he turns himself in planning to plead innocent thinking they have the wrong guy or if he turned himself in because he was conscience stricken about the whole issue concerning his own involvement. This guy didn’t run away. There is a lot to this story at least involving this man that the story doesn’t explain!

This is from Wikipedia, it seems your grandfather may have been aware of something I only learned about recently. At least I don’t recall hearing anything about it until a few years ago.

“The use of elephants as executioners continued well into the latter half of the 19th century. During an expedition to central India in 1868, Louis Rousselet described the execution of a criminal by an elephant. A sketch was made of the execution showing the condemned being forced to place his head upon a pedestal, and then being held there while an elephant crushed his head underfoot. The sketch was made into a woodcut and printed in “Le Tour du Monde”, a widely circulated French journal of travel and adventure, as well as foreign journals such as Harper’s Weekly.[17]”

agreed.... this is a horrendous story. Unless I’ve missed something... did the perps know she was 11?

I’m in no way blaming the victim..... but my own daughter who didn’t wear make up at 11, looked 16 as she matured very early and was already 5’2”. I keep asking myself, where were her parents? How did they not know this was going on?

“The assault of the sixth-grade girl by 19 men and boys – ranging from a middle school student to a 27-year-old man — occurred over a three-month period in Cleveland on at least four dates beginning in September, court records show.”

OK this seems to put this in a different light for me. I can understand the outrage if this was a yank her off the street and gang rape her type of thing but this sentence seems to indicate that the girl was a willing participant in this, which turns this into statutory rape rather than “rape rape” as Whoopie would call it. It would be interesting to know if this girl was turning tricks or if she was just in it for the thrill if this is true.

I think it is illegal to even hang a rope in a tree where an Amish person might see it. OK, hang him in the barn!

Any pedophile, regardless of deed, needs to be shot! No better yet, prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, imprison them, force them to wear uniform with ‘Convicted Pedophile’ on their uniform in bright lettering and turn a blind eye to what will happen behind bars. Anyone have a more severe punishment?

Of course! The younger they are, the easier they are to manipulate, intimidate, and exploit. Pedophiles always look for the weakest prey.

No excuses for any of them. Just too bad they'll get off as easily as they will, after destroying her life.
