Child Rapists Cannot be Executed

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Wednesday that child rapists cannot be executed, concluding that capital punishment for crimes against individuals can be applied only to murderers.

I know it's a terrible choice, but which is worse, murder or raping and molesting a child?

What do you think is an appropriate punishment for a child rapist?

I think they are equal. Murder of a child is horrible but rape of a child  kills a child's soul and will be a life sentence to them forever.  I think by this ruling the Supreme Court is giving the go ahead for raping children by letting the rapist know the most they will get is jail time.  People who commit these crimes against children are demmented and should not be allowed the right to walk the earth as far as I am concerned.  To me it was a very sad day and I am very ashamed that this happened.

And how are you feeling today?

I have to agree with LMarie. Child rapists who do not physically kill their victims are still killing these children emotionally. These children suffer so much emotionally and physically that even with the best psychiatric and psychological help, they will always suffer from what the rapist did to him/her. I don't agree with the US Supreme Court decision.

Life is like a Vapor, here then gone

You can swim all day in the sea of knowledge, and never get wet.

This subject get me so mad. It seems its always the same old story.... A guy molested a child or whom ever and  they dont do anything,but give him a few months in jail. he gets out, there thinking, oh there fine, but in fact they never are . They have a very sick problem, than in some high profile cases, as you can recall, the person has done it over and over again. Then he kills them, and after that they say... oh, well now theres a problem. I think they dont really think its a bad think, or why would any judge in his right mind let a man out after he did something like that? To me, all those crimes are the same. They should execute the person. If you put them in jail, than the tax payers have to fit the bill which is around 60,000 a year per prisioner. it makes me sick. They have more rights than the victim. I dont know who votes on this, but they need to really think about how they would feel if it was there loved one that had to go through the horror of this. I could go on for days with this... my blood is boiling.....
