Honestly, this type of thing should be decided on a case by case basis. A sweeping rule of rape = death will not get anyone anywhere.

Plus did you know that in the USA (at least here) the only thing that they need to convict someone of a sexual assault case (of any magnitude) is someone saying it happened. No evidence or anything needed.

I know a friend who is on the sex offender list because he baby sat for his cousin and the mother randomly said he molested the kid. (the child said NOTHING in court) No proof was given, heck they didn't even give an actual date, just said it was "sometime in the month of feb. around the kid's birthday" He served jail time and is now a sex offender for life and can't even get a job because of it.

What if you were dating a girl (or guy) who you had a bad break with and then they charged you with raping them? Would you feel that you should instantly be put to death then?

Also what if someone has mental issues and attempts a rape but has no idea of what he is doing? Should he not be treated different then someone who intentionally inflicts pain and abuse knowing that it is wrong?

The laws are WAY too easy to mess with to allow death on one occasion. Sure if he is convicted, they have PROOF (tangible evidence), and/or if it was multiple times/people then yeah, skrew the sick freak.

Another idea would be to create a prison specifically for this kind of people and keep them there indefinitely. It would be more humane and take care of the problem of them entering society.

And in all honesty the only thing we need is for them not to be able to do this stuff again. Vengeance is not good for anyone, it is one of the worst things a person can live with and randomly projecting vengeful thoughts on others you do not know or understand is ignorant and useless, if we proceed in doing such things as that then we might as well be a mob with torches calling for the burning of a witch. (noting that most witch burnings were due to ignorance and the people burnt (or hung or drown or killed whatever way) were for the most part simply random people, not witches (not even in the sense of being a religion which uses magic and witchcraft or anything of the sort))

In short before you call for EVERYONE who is a rapist to be murdered (and that IS what it is, wither justified or not) learn about the circumstances of each case and then make your decision.

True words

im fed up with people who take in their duty to ruin other peoples lives. personally i belive if anyone touches my stuff or me in a threatening way i have every right on the universe to strike em down. The law is nothing. So what the bad guy gets caught all the police do is tell them they should do it tell them not to do it again and let them go! Great justice sherlock.

But i dont think we should kill them, thats too easy. Instead we kill two birds with one stone. Why tyest on INNOCENT (and usually rather cute) animals when we have prisons full of blokes who think it is right to do such things to women and even to men. Prisons full of people who have murdered, tortured, maimed and wrecked other people and their lives. Perform the darn tests on them guys and girls! I dont care about human rights! If you decide to do such a thing you throw your rights away. Like i said zero tollerance, kill em but even better torture them before they die.

And dont bring up the whole "but then youre as bad as them argument." I'm not a threat to the public if im taking away the threat. Surely that argument would mean that all police offers who have made an arrest should be in jail? All parents who have ever hit their children (if the kids are being a pin in the a** not just hitting them for fun) should also be hit. That argument just doesnt work anymore.
