OK, OK, OK....

Let's compromise and just make it "Physical" castration, hell we can even use one of the "gender clinics" to cut them off. Death penalty takes too long. Do this ASAP when there is zero doubt of innocence.

Save the death penalty for a repeat.

Why? So they can become beautiful brave heroes?

If Pedo rapes a baby.... castration within 7 days of sentencing (and jail of course!)

I find that acceptable and Just.

A bullet is cheaper.

Or a short rope.

True, but that is something that usually happens "before" the justice system. The justice system won't go for that.... so, next best option.

This is wrong on many levels and for many reasons.

The Supreme Court was correct in their ruling that we should not be taking a perpetrator's life if the perpetrator did not take a life. Even the Biblical "eye for an eye" logic would find this abhorrent. It's no longer about justice, or deterring future abuse, or even paying their debt to society. It's about vengeance and vindictiveness and tyranny. It's saying, "You hurt someone so we're gonna hurt you the worst way possible and revel in every minute of it. It does nothing to further the principles of justice, just blood lust.

For all the whining and crying about thugs and antifa and BLM being violent killers, the only difference I see is that conservatives hide (and cheer) behind a government gun... and the death penalty. They're just as violent and blood-thirsty, they're just cowards who empower and embolden "authorities" to do their dirty work for them... while pretending like they're all about law and order.

As a society, and a Republic, we have guiding principles and standards to respect and honor ALL life, to temper justice with mercy, to work towards rehabilitation and restitution for offenders to become responsible and non-threatening members of society. When that is not possible, we institutionalize -- whether in prison or in a medical hospital or a therapeutic facility. We take the high road. We understand that the right to life comes from our Creator and it is not for us to take what God has granted. WE DO NOT KILL.

Slippery slope indeed. If this is allowed to stand, what next? What other crimes will we deem worthy of death? Rape would be the first and most obvious, being closest in nature to child sexual abuse. What about child abuse in general? Will the mom who snaps and slaps her kid across the face be next? Will it be the husband/wife who gets angry and throws a glass at the wall? How about the spouse that cheats and "kills" the marriage? The drunk driver who didn't even have an accident... but could have donchaknow!

Bottom Line: If murder isn't the standard for the death penalty, then what is? How will that be defined? And by whom???

Why is the trans community worried about this bill if they’re not grooming and abusing children?

Preach it Sister! This choir members says "Amen, Amen!"

When I was baby up until I was around 4, I was sexually assaulted and raped (penetrated), repeatedly by my Grandfather's brother, my "Uncle Johnnie", who had also been abusing my older sister. It took the moving of a mountain for my family to finally do anything about it and even then, all they did was ban him from family get togethers. Their nonchalant silence and/or blame the victim attitude made it even worse. But I would have been irreparably devastated if my Uncle Johnnie had been executed because of it.

I would have been okay with life in prison. My Grandmother's brother, a reporter, was already in prison for breaking and entering and theft, while looking for the goods on a bad guy. We probably would have even gone to visit Uncle Johnnie if he had been indicted and convicted, which he should have been!

This might make people consider their mental illnesses and seek help before they break laws 😁

Florida is getting dangerously basado.

Let the parents of the child decide the punishment.

That would end pedophilia. Let the parents of the harmed child make the decision on how the punishment goes. Simples.

Also, for when a parent isn't around, instant castration, physical not chemical, and also no Internet access at all, of any kind.

Or, round 'em up, put 'em in a field, and bomb the b*st*rds.

Harsh, but fair.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful news.

I think Ron missed a beat where the capital punishment for such an offense could've been turned into a game show called

The Running Ma'am

The Bible clearly states "Render unto Caesar what is Caeser's." So God clearly knew there would be leaders on earth we would have to obey, even if "Caesar" came up with edicts that weren't necessarily approved of by God. I think this law fits into that paradigm and therefore it is just. We HAVE to save our children! They have no way to defend themselves.

Please do it for the children.

Don’t kid yourself. Even without the death penalty Pedos end up getting their skulls caved in during their prison sentence or stabbed 100 times with a pencil because even the other murderous scumbag inmates cannot stand their continued existence the second they catch wind of their crimes.

This is just reality with less steps.

Boiling kettle with a packet of sugar added is common in prisons for them over here.....

a reply to: Sookiechacha

That's horrible and I'm sorry you had to go through that... but I'm also glad (maybe even a little bit proud) that you've come to terms with it and made peace for yourself.

And thanks for sharing that you would not have wanted to see your abuser executed. I'm not in your position obviously, but I would like to think I'd feel the same. I'd like to think that I could heal and make myself whole without needing to take anyone's life. I can live with being a survivor; I don't think I could live with being a killer. Even if the law condones it. I'd rather let them live with their choices and their conscience... and I can thrive with mine.

So was your Uncle Johnnie allowed to remain free to continue sexually assaulting and raping other people's children?

a reply to: Athetos

No, they don't. They are segregated from gen pop.
I'm ok with the public thinking that though.

a reply to: Mandroid7

Over here they are segregated. It doesn't always protect them sufficiently though.

Why are we protecting them?

a reply to: IAMTAT

Human rights and all that?

My sisters youngest was assaulted/raped by a family friend seeing how it has taken her future away from her, I have no problem with this law, as long as the normal procedures are still in place for appeals and such.

She has a man in her life that is busting his butt to help his family, and the birth of her son has gone a long way to healing her, but the heart problems and the seizures are here to stay.

So yea her attacker getting the chair/lethal injection/tall tree short piece of rope... I would be ok with once the court system has done its thing.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Over here their families will sue the state for not keeping them safe, so they get protective custody and grouped together.
I like where Florida is going. Pretty solid evidence is needed though imo.
Claims of inappropriate behavior during divorce situations are fairly common, for instance.
