Their coming to our planet so they'd be under our law. Not the other way around. Again, harboring a fugitive is a crime so if they don't turn the rapists over, we arrest them all.

Funny how you keep saying we're talking about arresting them all. I'm talking about having them hand over the guilty. Also interesting how your scenario ends with a forced sexual assault. I bet you still wouldn't want that one turned over either?

Who says it's our planet? It could be their planet, and they're just allowing us to live on it. If aliens really are here, then I'm inclined to believe they created us, meaning they had "ownership" of the planet long before we ever did. It's like telling a Christian that God should be imprisoned for his crimes against humanity, and if heaven doesn't turn him over, then we imprison not only God, but all his angels as well. How's that going to work exactly? IMO if we ever find out alien races are here we should just be extremely thankful to them that they have allowed our pathetic species to exist this long.

Quite right .. we could be an intergalactic petting zoo for all we know .. or worse, we could be an intergalactic brothel that was put up simply so that traveling aliens could have a good time on their way back to the home planet.
It really is a valid point though aside from my humorous spin.. we could have been put here by them, or we could just be test subjects.. it would also be like the rat in the lab issuing an arrest warrant for the scientist who just put a dang ear on his back.. arrest cause? cruel, unusual and embarrassing treatment

Or they could be liars and not actually be aliens. They could be going with our version of the stories. They've been called all kinds of stuff throughout history and just went with it. They have made no effort to be forthcoming or upfront with any information, which makes me think they are liars anyway. How do we know they are not evil shapeshifters from another dimension pretending to be whatever humans say they are?

First of all, you need to have "bigger gun" then we talk.
Here's an example; would a president of a country agree to stand for a trial in a tribal courtroom in Amazon ?
or would you stand for a trial by a bunch of 5-years-old kids or ants ?

Then I would fall back to the post above us pointing out that first we'd need a bigger gun.. feel free to go up to the alien and make your accusations and tell them what their punishment is because it sure won't be me making that challenge against a creature that has already proved their dominance in technology by simply being there in the first place.

If they come and take him by force, yes. We could always do the same. So far I don't know of any alien weapons on their ships. They seem to mostly grab people at night. So we hide in some closets, wait til they show up, then grab a few. We throw them in prison with known rapists for a week and then give them the chance to go free if they turn over the guilty parties. No guns needed LOL

OP my points made are that your type of thinking w/o ALL the facts could get a planet ready for Harvest of (some/humble) into a major galactic WAR. Because just as you stated your argument the same can be made against YOU and where does this leave humanity and the approaching species. Again not sayin I dont understand your points. Just imagine if this was brought to the LIGHT and then they produced and even better argument against YOU in LIGHT.

You don't know of any alien weapons mainly because none have been fired on us yet .. they can disable our nuclear warheads according to some high ranking testimony .. ( if they exist, again ) .. they can also transport you to their ship to rape you so I don't think a jail cell is going to hold them anyway.

Yep. All those things have been done while they were IN THEIR SHIPS. Once they get out, we strip them of all technology and put them in a cell with rapists so they can experience what they have been doing to humans.
