Give true opinion of vigilante murder of law abiding sex offenders. Did they deserve to be murdered?

It is absolutely 110% wrong! These vigilante murders should cause the registries to go away! At the very least, make them available only to law enforcement, which was the original intent along with the fact that originally they were only for Violent Sexual Predators. In the case of Mr. William Elliot, he was convicted of having consensual sex with an underage girl. I wonder, how does his death now make this past girlfriend of his feel? Do you think she feels like she is to blame for his death?\n\nI was molested twice as a child. I am not a victim, I am a survivor. I do not feel that my abusers deserve death at all. I can thank God and my parents for my views of morality. I can thank them also for my love of fellow man and the knowledge that I have about rehabilitated former sex offenders. I do my homework. I know that they can be rehabilitated. I know that they can lead normal productive lives. I know that they have less chance of recidivism than all other crimes with the exception of murderers. I know that 90 to 95% of sexual abuse is by someone known to the child. I know that many of the horrendous crimes against children are committed by drug offenders. Cocaine is the most often used drug by these people. I know that drug abusers, drug dealers, drunk drivers, gangs and parents have a higher rate of murdering children within a year than any registered sex offender. Learn the facts. Get active and make this Country abide by the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.

No. Armed, violent, sexual predators should be sentenced to death and quickly removed from society, No matter who you are or where you are from.

Sure, these guys deserve whatever they get for that act. \n\nBut consider that for every bonehead act by a cop that ends up in the news there are literally thousands of decent actions that are never given credit for. And they literally take their lives in their hands every working moment of every day dealing with people who would love nothing more that to feed off the anarchy that can result by having no law enforcement.\n\nThese guys are in a no-win situation 99% of their working lives. Everyone complains about the powers granted them and how much it costs to support a sufficient police force, but then complain because the cops weren't there when THEY needed them.

YES.  They absolutely should.  This 'minor' shit is completely irrelavant.  They were fully aware of what they were doing at the time they were doing it.  They should be held 100% accountable.  Their parents should NOT be punished, unless they were accomplices.  Our judicial system is absolutely ridiculous.  It's sad.  Seems they defent the criminals and not the victims most of the time.

I soooo totally agree with you. I first want to say my condolences to you. Second, my friend was shot by her ex and yes, they do treat the murderer better. They treat them too good. Even if they get time and go to prison they get cable and all kinds of extra things...I understand the whole innocent until proven guilty but, it seems with some cases that is not the case and other cases they let the person get by with everything. I worked for a lawyer for 6 years and so I know a lot about the prison system and the jail system. Its not what it should be... Murderers should all be sentenced to death. I think an eye for an eye and like you said, you cant hug your sister so why should the murderer be allowed to hug anyone let alone talk to anyone....

i believe people who attack children(especially a sex attack) should be removed from society permanently. if we can't execute them then they should be housed in a special prison for life.

They should be awarded capital punishment, even in countries where it has been abolished.\nBy molesting someone you are destroying that persons life, maybe mentally too. Imagine the agony that some victims have to undergo day in and out as long as they are alive when they relive those ghastly moments. Comparatively, killing the perpetrators is a lot more humane. \nst

No. They did their time for what? To be judged and ruined for life?  Why not just shoot them if they are never going to have a chance?

I am glad that justice has been served.  I do not see how he could not have been convicted.  Too bad he can't be publicly flogged by the remaining members (if any) of the people he murdered; then have honey poured upon his body and a mound of ants released at his feet.  He deserves a slow and painful death.  He is nothing but a modern day Hitler.

Do you mean pedophiles or all sex offenders? \n\nI know a guy that peed off the side of a boat and another boat passed by and a boy saw him. He has to register. Should he be locked up for life? \n\nMaybe you should do some research and educate yourself before asking such questions. Be more specific... I think you meant to ask if pedophiles and violent rapists should be sentenced to life... is that what you meant?

I am in favor of executions for the worst crimes.  For those that think it is "barbaric" to execute a murderer, do you really think the murderer was gentle with his victims?  Do you think the muderer gave the victim time to be with their family and say a tender goodby, like they get before their execution?  I guess you believe the murderer also prepared a  nice last meal for his victim too, right?  And since most executions in the US are now carried out by lethal injection, nice, painless, and peaceful, I guess you believe the muder victim died the same way?\n\nYes, I think the executions should be made public.  Nobody that does not want to attend has to.  And the criminals should lose all of the above perks that they get.  They certainly should not get more than their victims got.

sex offenders should have their balls cut off.. this law is not nearly enough..\n\ntwisted donut.. \n\nno sex offender is a one time person doing a stupid thing.. i suggest you do some research in that particular sexual varience.. \n\n>>>psychology lesson... pedophelia is a mental disorder.. many people can live with it and not actually commit a crime against a child.. once they do.. they are a threat to society.. it sounds harsh.. but if you have the background on the disorder you cant excuse it.. there is no mental illness that has a "cure" ... but people can live with a disorder and still be productive members of society this is what psychologists refer to in the field as "recovery"\n...\nas for laws not stopping them...\n\nthats why i said cut their balls off..\n\nchs is right about it being a feel good law. (somewhat).. but his background in law obviouslly lacks a foundation in the psychology behind this issue..\n\ni say somewhat.. because he fails to mention the proposed mandatory minimum sentences in these new laws which keep these nuts off the streets..(there are a lot of new laws being proposed on this topic every day..) instead he has seemed to take the route of only addressing how these laws are to be used as a deterrent.

I would suggest we treat them like any other perophile, perhaps a little worse. They should be tried, convicted and then imprisoned for life. A priest is especially more vulgar and disgusting than others as they are in a position of trust and that trust has been broken. And finally, ex-communication from the church.

Well... yeah, that is so wrong.  Everything you listed there seems pretty bad to me... rape/molest/death.\n\nThis isn't such a simple issue.  Perhaps it is true that some sex offenders should be in prison for life without parole, but whether the state should execute people for any crime is another issue.\n\nIt actually statistically costs more money to keep a person on death row and deal with the appeals process than it does to just keep them in prison for the rest of their natural life.\n\nOn top of that, some registered sex offenders are people who got caught pissing outside when they were drunk.  I don't think they deserve the death penalty.

A sane society kills its maniacal killers. Those on death row are beyond rehabilitation. They are beyond any usefulness to society. In hard labor for life they are a continuing burden on society. How beneficial would it be to still have Gacy, Bundy, et al still alive and in prison? Would you want these horrendous people out in public on a "crab boat" with a chance to escape? Are you for real?\n\nIt would be better to keep the appeals process from going on for 15 years, at the waste of taxpayer dollars.

How about what are the WRONGS of sex offenders?

What if the person is convicted and then punished accordingly by your standards here and it comes to light that he/she was in fact innocent? I cannot tell you how many time I have heard horror stories about abuse. both physical and sexual, and what gets to me is how detailed and convincing stories can be only to find out they were false. Castration isn't an issue as there are a LOT of abusers who have nothing to castrate (women abusers) and even some abusers who ARE castrated. Killing them isn't an option at all because "Thou shalt not commit murder". Taking the life of another human being for any reason IS murder, even if they would deserve it, even if they themselves committed murder, even in a war. But in EVERY court action of rape and molestation, after a defendant is convicted, the victims or victims family DO get to make statements to the court and the jury and/or judge hears these pleas and pass sentence accordingly. Allowing these victims to pass judgment alone would not work because of the emotional issue as already stated. Also, which family member gets to decide if they are not unanimous??
