A shotgun Enema is a miracle cure for pedophiles. Works every time.

Sounds more like a shotgun orgasm.

I know your heart is in the right place, but don't ever 'arrange' a crime scene or lie to the cops. The truth will out, and you'll be in the can.

I agree 100%. In this situation, the father would have been entirely within his rights to beat the intruder to death, to rip out his throat, or to get his gun and shoot him between the eyes. No policeman would arrest a father who killed a naked intruder he found in his 9 year old daughter's bed. Most policemen that I know would thank him.

If this guy had been in my daughters bed, He would have died in it. 1 big kick to the crotch, hang him by his throat for a minute or 2, then a .32 to the head. Then call the police. End of story.

Absolutely correct. There's a reason rapists used to be executed. We need a constitutional ammendment (overriding several Supreme Court decisions) to allow executions for crimes other than capital murder.

While I agree with the sentiment, executing rapists gives them an incentive to eliminate the witness/victim.

Sending rapists to prison also gives them an incentive to eliminate the witness/victim. They already have an incentive to kill the victim. The point is to give them an incentive not to rape.

True, but we're talking about incremental effects here. The question is whether the increase in penalty from a long prison ssentence to a death sentence deters rape more than it increases the incentive to kill the victim so as to eliminate the witness. I tend to think that when one sentences rapists to death, the act of killing the victim doesn't carry any additional penalty and may facilitate escaping punishment altogether. That means, in my view, that you're likely to get a lot more dead victims. Your mileage may vary.

I really don't see too much fiction on the web page you are deriding. Perhaps a little hyperbole, but not outright fiction.

Liberals hate to be corrected, and have done their very best to shape the world around their lusts, whether it's redefining the word "is", killing inconvenient babies, or insisting the "evil rich" owe them something. By making perversity legal, they think they can escape guilt for evil behavior. (They can't.)

Sorry, forgot to copy you on my #68. I have no daughter, but I do have sons and a wife. I practice at the range with the target 45ft away....precisely the distance from my bedroom door to the top of the back stairs...

This is why people should get a dog.....the dog alerted the parents, otherwise they may have slept through the whole thing...the dog is the hero.<br?




Yeah, like the Van Dam doggy that barked and alerted the parents to the intruder.

Oh, there was no stranger? It was someone that the dog knew? Oh, that changes it.
