'How my five-month-old baby was raped'

I don't know what to say.
If you read the SA news on the web, it seems like a new story like this one gets posted every week or two, and there are probably some that never make the news.

If I lived there, I'd be instrumental in starting a brand new myth. Men who abuse babies and children will wake up tied to a fence, already castrated, having every square inch of their skin methodically sliced loose and left hanging as a flap. Then hot coals could be inserted and superglued or stapled into place. I think that would be a good myth, don't you? Perhaps it could be tried a few times, just to give the myth a little substance. I just made this up but I can't find a flaw in my plan. There are worse things than AIDS.

I'm not normally inclined to torture but I can't think of a more just way of dealing with someone who tortures innocents for any selfish purpose. Even if these babies survive what has been done to them, the odds are they'll have contracted HIV. Their suffering isn't over.

that 'security guard' should be arrested too

these people deserve the death penalty

if the state won't do it, just let them go... make sure to advertise their release to the public.... the public will do the job.

[GeronL]

the fact that we are horrified by this makes us racists, huh?

[Ruth A.]

There is a growing myth in South Africa that Aids can be cured by having intercourse with a baby or a virgin.

Seems like there needs to be growing statement of fact that males who do this are castrated or put to death to deter such animal behavior. I think the security guard is criminally responsible in his actions, too.

What the liberals succeeded in doing to South Africa they are now attempting to do to the USA. There needs to be some lines drawn in the sand.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

These people are definitely sick. They deserve a worse than what you offered. Eternity in H*ll would be appropriate. If I were in South African with a daughter I would keep a gun handy.

[Slyfox]

Parents in SA are taking out rape insurance on their children, but I'm not sure what good it does them.

[exmoor]

the fact that we are horrified by this makes us racists, huh?... So be it...I'm surprised you are horrified, you should be hardened to the facts by now.

[FormerLurker]

Seems to me that a good way to cure these sick bastards of their desire to rape little babies is to shove a 12 gauge with 00 buck shot as far up their butt as possible, then pull the trigger...

[Jonathon Spectre]

I as well would like to post my desire to do something lethally awful to these rapists, but the fact is, I cannot. I cannot even adequately describe what I feel reading of such horrors. I cannot fathom this; it is beyond me; it is beyond any of us. Those who do not believe in capital-E Evil should look no further.

If those who carried out such atrocities do not die, slowly, in the worst, most horrible way conceivable, then surely there is no God, no justice, no karma, only darkness. Please, Almighty God, kill them in the worst way you know how. What else can I say? It is a sad thing to pray for, but I pray that nonetheless.

I think that would be a good myth, don't you? Perhaps it could be tried a few times, just to give the myth a little substance. I just made this up but I can't find a flaw in my plan. There are worse things than AIDS.

While I sympathize with your sentiment, your plan has one flaw. In order to carry it out one would have to expose himself to lots of infectious fluids.

[sheik yerbouty]

Some lawyer will get up and claim that the filthy swine were "honor students". Mandela's paradise.

I guess it works in the sense that if you're hanging from the end of a rope you definitely having nothing to fear from AIDS but suicide seems simpler.

[WolfsView]

Their eyeballs should be popped from their sockets, and they should be forced to eat them. lay them in abed of hot coals, set their feet and hands on fire till they are scorched to the bone, and then let the mothers of these children have them to do whatever they wanted with them

[nopardons]

It's nice that you and the rest of the posters are angered by this, and want the perps to be [unished. The truth of the matter; however , is that they will NOT be killed, and I doubt that they'll get much of a jail sentence. Oh, and BTW, because of the extremely LAX policing, many prisioners just walk out of jail, and aren't even looked for.

The South African blacks, have been told, by the COMMUNIST ANC, President Mbeki, and also during Mandela's tenure, that " The whitemans' medicine will NOT cure AIDS." The powers that be, will NOT permit FREE , American medicines to be brought into South Africa !

The blacks may now have the vote, but their lives WERE better under Apartheid ; which was on its way out, when the Western LIBERALS and the UN interferred.

Hust an FYI ... the MAJORITY of crimes ( ALL types of crimes ) are not only NOT reported, in S.A., but very few people are jailed because of committing a crime, now. It was NOT always like that !

Regretfully indexed.

>>"I read several weeks ago that this is happenening because of a misconception by African men with AIDS that sleeping with a virgin will cure them of the disease."

This tops it all.

[nopardons]

It's been happening for years, in South Africa. You only know about it, because now, it's all over FR.
