I find it sad that people like you are effectively defending these people.

Who is defending him? Not wanting him to be raped, dismembered, slowly killed, quickly killed, tortured doesn't mean you agree with that they did. Why is it the people always leap to this assumption?

What if it was your child he molested and ruined their life, would you feel the same?

I would obviously want him dead (I doubt if I would want him slowly tortured to death) but I am not sure if that is a good way to run a legal system. Especially when you have people that would want burglars dead too.

We need punishments that fit the crime, people re-offend all the time because there's no consequences.

If the death penalty is so good a detterant then why do countries that have it still have to execute people? Do you honestly think that someone sick enough to rape 103 children had that rational "you know, if I do this I could get in trouble" thought process going on?
 
I can't beleive this has decended into the whole capital punishment debate...........again.

I am more interested in how this doctor got away with molesting and raping children sometimes in front of their parents for 6 years without anybody seeming to think it was just a little "odd"?

Are these people so uneducated that they don't know right from wrong? Or is it the case that claims made by them fell on deaf ears and dismissed as he was a high standing member of the public?

I could have beleived that he might have got away with it 100 years ago but not nowaways. Surely with the coverage on tv and in the newspapers, these mothers must have realised that their children were being molested especially when they sat there and watched him do it?

Or was that "normal" family life for them?
 
What can I say? its just disgusting those poor children :( I hope he never gets to see the light of day again and if I really had my way he'd be tortured and made to feel what thoes kids have been made to feel :(

This country is too soft on people like this man.

He deserves to be shot. As soon as the investigation is sure he is scum he should be taken outside and shot there and then,

End of story, less cost for the public and another dirty scum bag gone.

Who ever wants this man to go to jail is having a laugh. He will basically live in a hotel.Shoot the dirty scumbag...

This happened in America....
 
For that sort of crime and the amount of it committed theres no question in my eyes that he should be staring at a wall on death row.
 
Shooting him may not solve anything, but neither would putting him in a cell - the only difference is the cost to other people. The way I see it is the only thing we can do now is be rid of him and carry on. Shoot him, job done. As much as I'd like to "see him suffer" for what he's done, ultimately it means nothing. The money spent on keeping him incarcerated would be much better spent on psychological treatment for the children involved.
 
If serious offender prisons were as they should be - tiny concrete room, lock the door, only out for minimal exercise (no weights etc, run around the prison yard only), fed through a hatch at the bottom of the door - then I'd say prison is a good option. Because they aren't like this, the death penalty is suitable imo.

It depends really. Do you want the safeguards that a modern democracy would need to ensure that only guilty people are executed? Generally multiple appeals and plenty of time to ensure you have the right guy. If so, then it generally works out more expensive than just locking them up.
 
Oh for the love of god, it was just a comment the OP made, why are people so serious about what he expected the guy to look like.
 
I am certain people cannot be executed for raping children in the USA.

I seem to recall a convicted child rapist challenging his death sentence and winning as however damaging rape my be, especially if the victims are vulnerable, it is not totally irrecoverable in the way that murder is. I think even Obama said he found the decision difficult to accept.

103 children is a bit over the line though, it's not just one. You wouldn't want him in your country and no one would want to take him so just... Put him under it :p
 
Of course, but the death penalty can no longer be used in cases of rape even that of a child or children. There were only a handful of states that had the punishment available to them to begin with and as a result of the decision , it's been ruled unconstitutional, it can no longer be used.

EDIT: I cannot type. :)

Well that I can't really say, it'd be up to people in the know, as they can work out the figures. However, in this case at least, there is video proof - he practically gathered his own evidence.
 
What he did is absolutely horrendous, and I do believe he deserves no more than the same he did to all those children. However I also know that is wrong, and wouldn't be able to agree to such a "sentence" however much I wanted it.

There is no place for emotion where justice is concerned.

That would be me back in the late 70's in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
Many a time we went down to the local sports pitch to watch a beheading or hanging.
