Repeat offender violent rapists and pedophiles are probably okay to have the death penalty for. Broken violent beings with impure thought. Cannot will not change. Who can defend them?

That sounds fine and all and then you realise its actually rapists we are talking about. No matter of morality talk is gonna change that they're human garbage.

Even then there is little profit to the rest of us to be found in tormenting them. Strapping their balls to a car battery won't enrich my life any.

I could understand the death penalty for repeat, violent, and currently unreformable offenders, but not because it's a good thing, simply because it seems a little more merciful and (theoretically) cost effective than life imprisonment. The desired goal should be the prevention of people getting to that stage which is not helped by the current criminal justice system.

They should all be in prison or hung. I'm not talking about torture or elaborate plots, that's just silly. Also I'm speaking from a northern european point of view. Our murderers and rapist usually get quite low sentences. Some rapist got maybe 4 years for horrible brutal rape. The US got some strange practices and also registries that we don't. Changes a lot of things. Maybe I should've clarified that part. :ghost:
