Yes, courts are very very impersonal. They can let people walk over a technicality. Life is personal, killing is personal, rape is personal. You see that is flawed thinking, I see that is reality.

ok so a sick twisted creep got what he deserved and can now never hurt another child(they almost always reoffend, it's only a matter of time). So the problem is? The only problem i have with it is whoever he molested's dad is obviously a pansy for not killing him sooner.
Genius way to put it. I never got how somebody could allow another human to violate or kill a family member and not seek revenge. That's sounds bad but if anyone molested my kid...

The people that are saying "all killing is wrong!!!" are just as emotional as the ones that say they don't care if the pedophile is dead. In fact perhaps more so.

The problem with your assessment is that whether or not you think anyone against the vigilante-killing of paedophiles is emotional or not - and reading the comments on this thread, I think it's fairly evident who is making the more emotive responses - the people actually against these vigilante groups are asking for non-emotional response justice. They're actually saying, let's take these decisions out of our hands, and put them put the decision in a neutral, non-hysterical court.

Inalienable means that no matter how abhorrent the crime, no matter how disgusted and rage-filled you are towards a person, they always have human rights.
Always.

I empathize with Paedophiles. I do not empathize with Child-Rapists or Kid-Killers.

The death of a human being economically has a negative value, it is the destruction of someone's existence. Whether monstrous or divine, that holds true.
Now, if you don't care about blood on your hands, I can't help you. But don't pretend you are righteous because you're killing the monsters. Blood is blood.

And herein lies the crux of the problem; 97% of judges, juries, lawyers, statisticians, doctors, parents, children, and the american populace cannot be reasonable or impartial about Pedophilia. They don't even know the bloody difference between the act of being attracted to inappropriately aged children and Child-Rape and Murder.
Yes. Yes, all for a fair justice system. I am all for a system that prosecutes and treats all criminals fairly and with an even hand. The problem is human emotion isn't limited to the public. Many people cite that "STUDIES SHOW" Paedophilia is non-treatable and the recidivism rate is through the roof.
Have any of you here read those studies? Can you cite a link to the studies, or are you just regurgitating the crap that has been poured into your brain?
Hell, have any of you even read the Wikipedia pages I linked to? Did you know a great majority of Child-Rape and Murder is committed by NON-Paedophiles who aren't discerning about their victims?
Or hey, did any of you know that a majority of ALL crimes are crimes of convenience, which means that the Criminal personally KNOWS the victim?
The problem with these conversations is that the emotional knee-jerk "Kill the Pedo" crowd don't read anything on the topic. They aren't interested in being passingly familiar with the reality of the situation, or knowing the damn differences in terminology.

Thats the way it should be, we SHOULDNT have to rely on the government or society to take responsibility in areas that are OUR responsibility. .......however that is not how its set up, and the system is broken.....I tell you this, you pass a law that says any man convicted of molesting a child has to spend 10 min in a room with the victims family and see what happens.....wake up america, dont wait on the government to fix your problems.......stand and deliver......

There does not seem to be an equitable solution to child molesters.
There is a state in USA that when the criminal sentence is complete the state declares the child molester mentally ill and locks them up in a mental institution for the rest of their life. So they have the criminal sentence to finish and then they stay locked up till they die.
Washington's State has such a program.
McNeil Island

Washington state's Supreme Court has ruled that it's permissible to confine sex offenders even after they've served their sentences, as long as they receive mental health treatment that could lead to their release.
Great.
They’re not allowed *out* for life.
But you know what they get?
Room, board, work out facilities, libraries, teachers, social workers, medical care, and more.
Thank you Tax Payers.
Quarterly these animals get their special packages from approved sources such as JC Penny's, LL Bean, Barns and Noble, Amazon, Sounds of America Records, Jewish and Islamic bookstores. Families can order from the above (and more) to send their *loved ones*.
This is abhorrent.
Ok - it’s great they’re kept *locked up*.
If you can’t kill them (as you should in my opinion) - at least keep them away from the public.
But make their life hell.
I don’t care if it’s moving 1 million tons of dog excrement from one side of the yard to the other day after day - make them do SOMETHING - and that does NOT include social parties, let’s go muscle up at the gym, time for my valium, teeth cleaning time, and oh bummer my cholesterol is just sky high again boys!
BS!
You know what the victim is doing?
Paying for their psychiatrist, if they even have one.
Paying for their room, board health care, gym, etc, if they’re lucky.
And if they live in Washington State paying for the *care* of their attacker too!
Ok, I’m going to stop.
This is just too filthy to keep even thinking about.
For anyone in this forum to justify in ANY WAY the rights of a pedophile is the grossest form of ignorance I’ve ever seen. If you do - you need your head examined.
One reason why? Because I bet if it happened to someone close to you - your daughter or son, your brother or sister, etc - you’d be willing to commit murder too. But noooooo, until then you’re just spouting off some bs to hear yourself talk.
We call ourselves a civilized nation - but we keep animals like this in happy hotels - and the victims still have to pay?
We’ll be a civilized nation when all pedophiles are publicly burnt at the stake and the victim gets to live on tax payers money for life.
...taps...

Regardless of the mans death what i cant understand is why a KNOWN child abuser is even allowed on the streets, for everyones safety these people should be put in mental hospitals where they should remain indefinitely, they have nothing to contribute to society other than pain and misery. Although i dont agree with vigilante's i certainly feel no pity for this guy because if i had children and i caught a man who had abused them i think things could possibly follow the same route.
