Since when is this world especially on that side of the spectrum, or any side of diamond prism for that matter, has been compassionate or forgiving? In a time like this, this whole peace thing is a damn pipe dream. We're so fucked as a species anymore, we need a little force, why the hell are we trying to pretty up punishment for, anyway?Lonan said:Ok, since you've put it in such a friendly, but perhaps too liberal way, I think boys under 12 should rape even younger girls. It's good for them, both, makes them stronger. Just like the boy in Gladiator was told that watching death matches made him stronger.PyroZombie said:Smash his manhood. plain and simple, most sexual predator problems can be solved with a little time, a sledge hammer, and some restraints.
And if you have a problem with this, just give me the pro-rape side of the argument.
Now in all seriousness, I want to make something clear to this whole thread: none of you understand this boy. Neither do I. You don't understand him, but you understand that you don't like what he did, so you want to kill him or destroy his genitalia. First of all, he didn't do that to the girl, and second of all, there are much better ways to solve problems than destruction. While I'm all for population reduction, I think 9 is a little early. On the other hand, most people in my grade 4 class were as well insighted in grade 4 as most people around my age are now. So maybe age isn't an excuse.
Ok, so I suppose you're going to stand on a pedestal labelled "moral high ground" as you smash a hammer into a 9 year old boys genitals, and maybe his head afterwards (once he's suffered enough) to make sure that we can all live in a loving society that tries to push everyone towards compassion, forgiveness, and love. All power to you. In fact, I'll give you a buff if you want, free of charge.
Also, I definitely felt something for a girl in grade 4. I told everyone I loved her, so I definitely had hormones. But if I actually raped someone at that age, I hardly think it would be deserving of ending my life right there. I'm sure there's some self survival involved in that, but I don't think it would be fair. Also, he played with ehr for a long time, could it have been something she said? Was it just a form a dominance? I still think the murder you people are advocating is very much over the top. I'm sure his parents will give him quite the punishment. It should also be known if he is usually violent to girls, or boys, or not.
Warning; rant oncoming
We got lethal injection now, which is too peaceful, being protested against because people are saying they feel pain at the very end.
...This idea is bridging on psychotic! Killers, Rapists, They don't care about anybody else's lives, why the fuck should we?
this has been a rant.
Now that that's out of the way, let me say this, age changes nothing. There is a Brazilian 17 year girl who killed 30 people over a time span of 3 years, who confessed so she will be tried as a minor instead of a adult. She's so far detailed 11 of the murders to the police.
If we let this girl off, she'll undoubtedly do it again, no psycho can be fixed, no amount of medicine, no amount of help. As for this boy, he knew what he was doing. I have no doubt that it will happen again when he is a adult. As for the genital smashing, it's a clear method if shrouded in admitted barbarianism. I don't care how you do it, but i believe that's the only true way to fix a rapist.
