Poll: Paedophile sentenced to be beheaded then crucified

[seongjun]

Well, if its down to punishments in other countries let em do the hell they please its within their lands and their citizens who are commiting the crimes we have no business stickin our noses in it. End of Story

as for the pedophile thing though, hell, we don't get any details about it so what are we to really say, sides when was the last time we got any news from an authority figure fully disclosing what the f is going on. Still death sounds resonable, sides left in prison he'd just be shanked, beaten, or choked to near death through the course of his sentence so alternatives wise this is relatively faster.

Sides lethal injection? who the hell has the damned money for that? the machine itself is f ing expensive to set up, the Toxins are harder to acquire probably just as expensive, its not worth the money.... oh wait....

Why crucify? Beheading is enough.

To show any other paedophiles "This is what'll happen to you if you rape children and then leave them in the desert to die", I'm guessing.

 

[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.

An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Eye for an eye? That's more like, finger for an eye, and a leg, and an arm.

Anyone who believes in capital punishment should be shot.

Aha...intentional irony...aaaa?...

So what would you have them do? You could argue that giving him a prison sentence is eye for an eye, as he is being punished for doing something.

 

[Smudge91]

I'm agreeing with the is the crucifying really neccerssary after the beheading, after all he is already dead.Is it for the example factor? But then again you could just put his head on a stick like it was before England reverted to hanging rather than beheading. If they want to do the death sentance which is a soverign countries own perogative it doesn't neccerssarily break any big human rights then at least just kill the guy and do either the beheading or the crucifying not both.

It's not just an eye for an eye. It's protecting society from future offenses. Prison won't make it better.

 

[You_have_a_name]

That's stupid, they should leave him in a cage and let him starve to death it would be cheaper and would make him suffer more

 

[GonzoGamer]

I'm more worried about him not being given a lawyer for such a serious trial.
What they do with him (if it's true) is up to them. Barbaric, yes but this is the mid-east we're talking about. I've never been but I've been to Texas and Arizona and I can tell you people who live in the desert can be barbaric.

The fact of the matter is that it's probably more humane than what we would do here. Here he would be thrown in prison (where his mental health problems would only get worse not better) for a decade or so before getting parole and being let back into public where he will start terrorizing once again but will be even more depraved from all the abuse he suffered in prison.

My suggestion for people like that: Hannibal Lechter style (solitary) mental health care including chemical castration. It would probably be the best thing for everybody. Try to make him better (if possible) but go with the chemical castration just to be safe. I would imagine it's hard to rape someone if you can't get it up.

Because when you're too lazy to find the actual source of the problem, frenzied retribution makes everyone feel better.

 

[Maze1125]

It's interesting how everyone's glazing over the fact that he didn't have a fair trial.

It doesn't matter whether the punishment fits or not, because we can't be sure that he was the one who committed the crime.

Yeah, but if we got held up on that, what would there be to argue about?

 

[BlackJack47]

Pedophilia is a mental illness...why can we not rehabilitate pedophiles instead of just killing more and more people.

You're missing the point.

Prison is not a cruel and unnecessary punishment. Prison can serve a purpose.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Given our record on that, I hardly think it's fair to use that against them.

 

[k3v1n]

well, he should receive an extremely severe punishment,but not crucifixion,that's outdated by my point of view, should he, then, be tortured? well, I think he should, but a pedophile never learns, so he should just let him rott in jail

 

[Chris^^]

good for the Saudis, if he is crazy then hes being put out of his misery, to be honest i think they have the punishments in the wrong order..

 

[Silva]

Uh, durr. No, the children that were brutally raped and left to die weren't harmed in any way at all; you're right; I don't know enough about this case to make any kind of judgement. They totally just made all that up to kill an innocent man who had never been caught raping children before; totally.

It is entirely possible in any system that someone can get wrongfully accused and convicted. It happens all the time.

It is very easy to turn a jury in a religious society against the accused, whether or not there is evidence. Corruption is also a possibility, not to mention framing and many other types of deceit or human error. Even genetic evidence has been proven to have some flaws, so don't assume any system is clean of such things off the bat. None are. That's why death is a stupid idea for a sentence; you can't return what you take away if new evidence comes to light showing someone else as the guilty person.

I completely agree that it is a heinous crime. That doesn't mean we should let its heinousness poison the justice that should be done.

 

[TylerC]

They should do it the other way around really..otherwise it seems to be a bit pointless.

Crucify him and poke him with sharp objects seems to be a far better way of doing it.

They could even put people on shifts so he never gets a break from being poked. And they all have to poke in the same spot.

Man I'm cruel.

That's basically what happened to Jesus...

How exactly does that make them better than the pedo or do anyone justice?

That's just cruel and they're just as fucked up if not more.

Yes, rape is bad and when it has something to do with children, its worse (by social standards. Its all the same to me.) but killing someone and putting it up for display? Thats just fucked.

Really? All the same to you? Having sex with a let's say...5 year old is the same as having sex with a grown woman? Honestly if you see it that way, you have some problems.

It may be overkill...no pun intended, but it shows criminals what could happen. You can't say their culture is behind or fucked up because it is there culture, I'm sure if you were born and raised there you wouldn't see a problem with it. I also find it troubling that so many of you are arrogant enough to say that there is rape and killings like crazy there, but you forget the fact that that happens everywhere. I mean Washington D.C. has the highest gun related deaths in the world...and that is counting the war in Iraq. (Don't quote me on this, I could be wrong.)

Again, having horrible punishments does not help to prevent future crimes. It never has, and it never will.
