Personally, I'd be in favor of chemical or physical castration for this guy, if he actually created the offensive material. This is a way to prevent his likelihood of acting again.

i know you from ats, your a decent person that i respect.
My reaction seems pretty damn appropriate to me and quite honestly i dont care what comparrisons can be drawn to smoking pot and then it escalating to gang violence - its not even in the same league, however i see the point you are trying to make; completley have no interest for it, but see it never the less.
simple, get caught for rape or pheodophillia, pay with your life. End Of.

i am truly saddened - why must we protect these people?
i defy anyone to come up with a theory on why these scum should still be jailed as opposed to executed.
40 years we have kept brady alive, all that pain he inflicted on those children and their familys, i have lost all faith in british justice - give me a goverment that will execute phaedophiles and they can have my vote.

Most murderers think that way, or in some way want to justify their crimes.
Our society becomes better by bettering ourselves, not killing ourselves.

That's a little extreme, if you ask me. You want to judge somebody based on their sexual proclivities? I don't. We're all a product of nature and it's not our fault (or even wrong) if we happen to have been born with desires that other people find offensive. I don't like the way bananas taste, but I don't think everyone who likes to eat them should be rounded up and killed.
As long as this man doesn't actually go out and rape children (which would be a crime because it physically violates another person, I don't have a problem with consensual sex with minors) I think he should be free to look at whatever pornographic material he chooses to. Anti-child pornography laws are ridiculously harsh.
Now before you attack me by saying he's raped children in the past, let me just state that he's served his time for those offenses and perhaps looking at pornographic depictions of child molestation and fantasizing about it is the only thing that prevents him from acting upon his urges with an actual child again.
Be less judgemental, because there isn't a single person in the world who doesn't have sexual tastes that another would find objectionable.

I am an advocate of capital punishment and a hardass when it comes to people like this.
However, in this case I think capital punishment would be a mistake.
If a paedo knew he would get death for his acts, then it would seem logical to eliminate any possible witness. Thus, the incentive to murder his victim.

Of course it's easy to justify murder dude, that's what murderers do. If they couldn't justify it, they wouldn't do it.
State sanctioned murder and, whatever the justification, is still murder. Just because we can't think of another way doesn't make it right, it just means we're not thinking hard enough.
It means we don't understand ourselves, and we fear ourselves. So, we kill what we fear.

Top of my head, don't have one. But does that mean we don't bother thinking of one?
That's just lazy.
