Poll: Paedophile sentenced to be beheaded then crucified

[bjj hero]

I just wonder what sort of deterant this is if they have had to decapitate 40 people this year. Something isn't working.

 

[infinisynth]

I think it's a great crime deterrent and I wish that it was implemented here in the U.S. That would be swell.

 

[DrScoobs]

bastard deserves to die after leaving 5 kids for dead after raping them.

 

[Tiny116]

Isn't crucifying someone AFTER beheading them slightly counter-productive? I mean the guy can't feel any pain if he's dead?

And to answer the main question, no, it isn't humaine at all, but then niether is raping 5 children.

Oh look

This person already pointed out the flaw in this logic.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

Sounds good.

 

[MasterSqueak]

Ew.

Just shoot them in the forehead and harvest their organs, it's much more efficient.

Or set up some sort of gladatorial combat punishment.

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

I don't see how chopping off someones head and then crucifying them is humane. Though I guess that I'm biased since I'm against killing people for any reason.

A lot of people on this website have said that pedophiles should be horribly punished, so they should like this.

I completely agree with you. This is just stupid...

 

[FranzTyphid]

i'm sorry i lol'd
seems a bit much though.

I give my full support to Amnesty for their stance on this issue. There is no place in the 21st century for such systems.

At the same time, it is up to Saudi Arabians to change their law and culture to fit the times. One day, when the oil resources have dried up (or much sooner, the demand for them has), they will need to do much more trading with the Western world. That trade will lead to the necessary change. But in the meantime, we can only hope Amnesty can create some influence for itself.

That is just stupid. God damn backwards ass 3rd world countries.

Saudi Arabia's actually technically a 1st world country, being one of the oil-rich nations. Of course, for the living conditions of its lower class citizens... yeah, fair enough to call it 3rd world.

I support, and LOVE it. Seriously, bring that to the USA. Crimes would drop like a sniper shot over 500 miles!

You clearly have no idea how crime rates work. Not to mention, you have no respect for ethics. You'd prefer revenge. Personally, I find that low. Humanity didn't crawl out of the dirt to be brought down by such barbaric attitudes.

For those of you suggesting that prison would be more humane for him, then I have to ask whether or not you know how other criminals feel about pedophiles. (They hate,hate,hate,hate them.)

Not all prisons work like this. Some completely confine cellmates from other people for most of the day, reducing such dangers massively. So to say a life sentence isn't more humane than death on that basis is a big mistake.

 

[Acidwell]

Damn it didnt those people learn anything from the bible its crucify THEN do whatever

 

[knight of zendikar]

That is just stupid. God damn backwards ass 3rd world countries.
Crucifixion is a horrible and amazingly painful thing. So as such should be done first. Only when he is about to die should they cut the bastards head off. Though personally I would cut his "other head" off first.

thats is a great idea people like this dont deseve humane punishment they deserve to die a slow painful death. this especialy is sick what this man did.

 

[MoganFreeman]

Anyone who believes in capital punishment should be shot.

 

[geldonyetich]

Capital Punishment in Saudi Arabia. Film at 11.

 

[asdasdasdasda]

Why not crucify him first? He deserves far worse then that. Sure, it's not very humane, but I doubt the children he raped think he's very humane either, if they're even alive.

An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

While child rape and murder certainly does deserve to be punished harshly, I'm personally not a huge fan of the death penalty. Especially carried out in such a barbaric way, and especially when the person being punished is mentally unstable.

I do however support forced chemical castration for sex offenders. Mentally unstable or not.

Animals aren't humans.


If an animal has a disease that causes it to kill, you put it down. If a human being has a disease that causes them to kill, you cure them. Or at least try to cure them, while making sure they don't harm anyone again.

Why? Because a human life is worth more than an animal life.

I agree, animals aren't humans. However, humans are animals.
(If you deny this, then I suppose that's because you've never had sexual feelings for another.) If a dog has to be taken care of, perhaps that is how it should be, but I believe the same for humans. I do not want to pay tax money for this man that has raped children to live. Why does he deserve to be cured? and above all...how do we know it can be cured?

We can spend all of our time, all of our money just to fix that one mans problem, or we can do it the most efficient and fair way - end him. Also, who put you in charge to decide what's life is more valuable then another?

The most us humans have done was screw up the world, exploit, destroy, and bastardize. It could even be argued that animals have more of a reason to exist then us. At least without us humans the world wouldn't be in it's horrible shape as it is today.

We're also 99.7% from an animal that flings it's excrements around, with organs just like a pigs.(Also, we taste like pigs too, cannibals would call humans 'long pig.')
So there, I suppose your idea of a more valuable life is one that's diseased, conceited, with the capabilities of an ape, and the organs of a pig.

-Moving on-

I don't quite understand why they intend to crucify him 'after' they behead them, that sounds kind of excessive and even stupid. Well, even the crucifying seems stupid, is there a point?
In the end, beating and torturing the pedophile to death will not really accomplish anything.

Personally, I think the kids that were raped should decide what becomes of him.

I read in the news to day that A saudi man has been sentenced to be beheaded and then crucified [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8342005.stm].

Well, if you disagree then I wouldn't go to Saudi. The beheadings/amputations take place most Fridays and Westerners are promised front row seats.

Got to admit it's effective. No repeat offenders.

And seriously, if it was your child? We were hanging, burning, waterboarding, drowning, poisoning, shooting and beheading for a lot longer.

 

[Symplify]

Seem to be a lot of Saudis on the Escapist. Who would've known.

You mean a lot of people who hate pedophiles.

That's right, if a person doesn't support crazy inhumane barbaric forms of punishment, then he must surely loves pedophiles.

Makes perfect sense.

I didn't suggest that, you just did. I just said a lot of us hate pedophiles, and don't necessarily view the rather barbaric and archaic form of punishment the Saudis use to be unacceptable in this case. Nice try though.

What can I say, I try.

But whatever, I've long since abandoned any pretense of arguing with anyone in a thread like this.

I know, right? Arguing with someone on the internet never works, because there's no face-to-face interaction to make belligerence awkward. (No sarcasm/hate, I'm with you)

A lot of people have said that they think he should be treated; someone explain how you would intend to treat a person like this.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I support this punishment, even if he does have a psychological disorder. He might want to die anyway.
