Teenage rapist who was let off let off attacks again within days

[master m99]

Ship him to Texas, try him as an adult, kill his ass.

Seriously, bring back firing squads, or hanging for this one.

no no no my idea is the death is to good for these people it provides a kind of release from the guilt. a worse punishment would be LIFE in a cell and i dont mean 30-40 years i mena untill you dont have a pulse anymore imajin that kept alive day after day year after year no escape no release no hope at all... that lack of hope for anything ever to look up that would eat away at someone untill they are begging for death that my freinds is what these fucks desirve a liftime of empty dispair. yes i can be a cold hearted ass hole at times but only when the situation calls on it.

I don't see why almost everybody is reacting negatively to the fact that the first boy's parents forgave the rapist. It shouldn't have affected the sentence in any way, but being able to get past something horrible done to oneself or a loved one is a sign of maturity. Harboring hatred would only poison them.

Anyway, he should have been jailed for several years in the first place. Rape is one of those crimes that should never be ignored regardless of the offender's age. As sick as this is though, and as much as I think the offender deserves death, I'm still not a proponent of the death penalty for him. No one is beyond redemption, and killing every problematic person in society doesn't get to the root of the problem.

Oh shock horror, they forgave him!

They should forgive him, and so should the child when he becomes an age that he can understand, and they shouldn't hate him, they should pity him.

The person who did this was 16! Imagine what was in his mind, try and empathise with the rapist himself, of course this was horrible for the boy who got raped but everyone seems to be forgetting that the guy who did this doesn't need punishment, he needs serious help.

You are sympathizing with somebody who raped a child, was let off the hook, and instead of straightening out, decides to rape another child within the week. And the grounds for sympathizing with him are that "he needs help".

Following that logic, Saddam Hussein didn't need to be hung, he just needed to get some help after murdering hundreds of thousands of his own people.

Yeah, because two rapes is exactly the same as mass murder.

Some logic.

 

[LeonLethality]

If it were up to me, I'd tie the guy to a post and hum 'Another one bites the dust' to myself while loading a clip into my AK-47. Swiss cheese time!
But, alas, it's not up to me.

what happened to the good old fair days of the guillotine?

OT: it's rather disturbing that he will be out in three years and most likely will do it again... oh well he will feel what the kids felt when he goes to the showers in the showers lets hope the jail time changes him

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

So he gets a lesser sentence because the parents of the victim "forgave" him? Pardon me whilst i hold my laughter at the stupidity and imagine what went through the original judges mind. "well son you clearly broke the law here but the parents seem to forgive you for it and so will i you're free to go". That may have been a little exaggerated but it sounds a little possible, I mean not giving someone who BROKE A LAW a harsh punishment because the parents let it go it ka-stupid.

It's stuff like this the justice system need to revise. Mercy for the criminal is not always merciful for society. It should be rather clear that this boy had highly dangerous urges and was extremely far from the norm, and the right merciful thing would probably have been to sentence him to a (closed) youth instituion for psychiatrical treatment the first time around. An offender that young might indeed be more in need of help than punishment, but society's need for shielding from such persons until help has succesfully been administered to them cannot be denied. If no treatment alternatives to prison existed, he should probably have been send there for a long time regardless - he was obviously too dangerous to just let go, with an offense of such magnitude against a blameless innocent.

 

[asdasdasdasda]

Oh look, retarded judge. *sigh*

 

[JaredXE]

The solution is simple....we need to start executing teens for shit like this.


Seriously. There is NO reason why they should not be tried as an adult. Any hippie who complains that he's just a kid and didn't know better is a fucking retard, because at the age of 6 most people know that rape is bad, nevermind 16. And no, we should let in religion in our justice system when it comes to punishment. Religion has all the best punishments....crucifixtion, beheadings, stoning, pressing, drowning, ritualistic heart-surgery, fed to lions, abandoned on snowy mountaintops....the list goes on.

The 16 year-old needs to die. Even a life sentance is 99 years, you serve a third, time off for good behavior(I.E. NOT raping anyone in jail)....kid's out before he's 40. Fuck that.

 

[DuplicateValue]

F**k the justice system. It's a joke.

The justice system has been fucked for years now. Decades even. Did you know, that if you're under the age of 10 in America, and you rape someone, you don't even go to trial for it? They just release you to your parents.

Is a ten year old even physically capable of rape?

They should forgive him, and so should the child when he becomes an age that he can understand, and they shouldn't hate him, they should pity him.

Hmm, violently forcing yourself upon another person and doing irrepairable harm to them....and not just once.

Pretty damned close to mass murder to me.

There is NO way you can seriously empathise with a 16 year-old rapist. What, his mommy never hugged him and daddy's breath smelled like Jim Beam? Now he needs to go out and rape kids? Yes, he's messed up, and the solution is to either lock him up and NEVER release him, I MEAN NEVER.....or execute him for heinious crimes against children. Considering you never hear about REFORMED rapists (Statutory doesn't really count because most of those cases are bullshit), I'm going to take a guess and assume that most sexual predators cannot be reformed and allowed to integrate back into society. Sure, chemical castration is always an option, but that strikes me as inhuman to allow a person to go on being only a shadow of what they used to be and live out their life like that. Better to die than be a zombie.

Agreed, Saddam Hussein shouldn't have been hung. Serious thought should have been put into discovering what in his brain made him do that.

It's called being bat shit crazy.

You are not making an attempt to empathise with the rapist here because you're blinded by your anger

It's not anger, It's more or less RAGE my trying to grasp an illogical concept. I can understand you sympathizing.

but evidently, this person is much different from you

No shit. I don't go off and rape children. [sub]I prefer animals instead[/sub]

I would assume that they wouldn't be as well educated as you have the fortune to be

That's their fault.

they have obvious mental problems and they don't know how to control their own sexual urges.

Again, that's their fault. I have urges as well but I make sure I find somebody who is around my age.

So yes I think you should sympathise with him, and the child.

I'd sympathize with the rapist if he had done it once and had tried to straighten out after that, however he loses any of my sympathy and/or respect when he went off and raped another child.

The children on the other hand does get my sympathy, as this will be something that will be brought up for the rest of their lives and will be used against them in high school.

ARRGGHHH, no it is not called, being bat shit crazy! And if he is, don't you think that he should be in an institution rather than hanged?

It's not their fault they aren't as educated as you because they wouldn't have the facilities to become as such, and probably have never been taught how to control their sexual urges, they may even have just been completely disregarded, also, his sexual urges are for children, is that his fault? No, and the fact that he raped another child shows how unstable he is. You're assessing him as if he is of a sound mind which he obviously is not.

 

[oppp7]

Why is everyone so lenient on crime? We don't need people like this.

 

[Blatherscythe]

Well, just goes to show the YCJA is fucked up.

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

That's horrible but like FurBurt, I've became almost completely desensitised. That doesn't stop me from thinking that the f**ker who did this horrible crime deserves the death penalty.

If it were up to me, I'd tie the guy to a post and hum 'Another one bites the dust' to myself while loading a clip into my AK-47. Swiss cheese time!
But, alas, it's not up to me.

I really wish it was up to you. I really do.

Uh. There has been so much of this I'm completely desensitised to it. Call me immoral, but I really don't care anymore.

Admittedly it is hard to care sometimes, I don't mean that in a sick, insensitive way, but with so much shit that happens if you let yourself get affected by all of it you'll never be happy.

That said, this is pretty sickening, especially the parents forgiving the rapist of all things.

Oh shock horror, they forgave him!

They should forgive him, and so should the child when he becomes an age that he can understand, and they shouldn't hate him, they should pity him.

The person who did this was 16! Imagine what was in his mind, try and empathise with the rapist himself, of course this was horrible for the boy who got raped but everyone seems to be forgetting that the guy who did this doesn't need punishment, he needs serious help.

I hope that acid your spewing is sarcasm. [small] I'm guessing not. [/small]
He raped two kids and your saying that everyone should forgive him?!?!
Would you forgive a person if they raped you or a friend/realative of yours?
If something like that happened to me or someone I know then the my first thought would be that I want the guy who did this to suffer...

 

[Lexodus]

If it were up to me, I'd tie the guy to a post and hum 'Another one bites the dust' to myself while loading a clip into my AK-47. Swiss cheese time!
But, alas, it's not up to me.

Or, to set up an elaborate scheme, get him to serve community service by working in a bar... and then ask him for a Holy Bartender.

Cookie for reference.

I'm tempted to link to this article to back up my views on capital punishment in the capital punishment thread. To have commited rape twice by 16 shows imo serious problems, this kid should be put down - he is essentially an animal in my eyes.

Also the judge is obviously a joke.

An animal?

The fact that you think so strongly on this shows a weakness of the mind.
You're assessing the situation from an emotional point of view, instead of with logic.
Whatever about the victims (who will admittedly probably suffer emotionally), the 16 year old probably has some underlying mental issues too.
Maybe he, too, was raped as a child, and so sees it as something not out of the ordinary?

 

[Cherry Cola]

The problem with the justice-system is that it's based on rules and not the morals of a true and just man.

There aren't enough good and just men in the world so we must rely on rules. And these rules always fail to be specific enough, so criminals can constantly be set free through loop-holes.
