I have no problem telling a serial rapist and killer that he's going to be put to death, by whatever means. You think that someone who brutally tortures other human beings and then slowly kills them should be released into society? Or even kept in prison for the remainder of their lives with other inmates? How about someone who brutally rapes little boys and then slits their throats dumping their bodies into a shallow grave in the woods. Their mothers and fathers never knowing what happened to them. No, I have no problem telling them, whatever age, that they are going to be put to death for their actions.

But happy? No... I would rather these terrible crimes never happened at all.

I remember talkin' about this with someone in another thread, but I can't be arsed to track down a link.

Personally I don't agree with the death sentence, I don't think any man has the right to take the life of another man.

Also I think in cases like you've mentioned above that death is too good for them........My method would be to put them in a mental hospital......sedate them so heavily that they become a dribbling, incontinent mess that cannot control their own limbs or communicate effectively but leave just enough coherence in the brain so they remember who they are and what they have done. But then I have a real cruel streak where things like that are concerned.

Punish them humanely.......you'll find it's often more cruel than the barbaric way
