Personally I think he should be crucified first. If he is beheaded then the only thing crucifying does is try to serve as a potential deterrent to others it is not an actual punishment to the offender since he is already dead. Its like kicking a man who is already dead, he isn't going to feel it nor is he going to care.

You know, we could sure as hell drop the population of Birmingham into Riyadh, and the only difference they'd notice is that everyone seemed to be wearing pajamas. :rofl

This is what needs to happen here in the states, instead of giving a child raper a year of probation.

Great...so child rapists can murder their victims more often to avoid leaving witnesses. That's just a dandy idea.

Rapists, typically, don't have the guts to kill anyone. It's not their malfuntion.

They typically aren't motivated to do so. Although, rape and murder don't get tossed into the same sentence so often because they are mutually exclusive.

They don't get tossed into the same sentence too often, because they rarely occur a the same crime scene. Not only that, why waste a rape charge on someone, when you can charge them with a capital crime. Personally, I think rape should be a capital crime. I bet there would be alot fewer rapes in this country.
 
They were nice enough to not reverse the process.

Actually, as mentioned above and repeated to you just now, "there's mere irrationality involved in mandating the death penalty for rape. It provides a perverse incentive for the rapist to kill his victim(s) and violently resist attempts at police capture. At least there's only one dead person instead of five involved here."

Wait, what? Do you not pick up on sarcasm?


The last stat I read... something like 8.5% of rapes end in murder. That's no small number.

That's just a lame ass argument against the death penalty.

I agree with that. And I am all for the death penalty when treated rationally.

And he and I never agree.

I guess maybe I didn't. Those numbers weren't right here in front of me. Maybe I need to fire some of my staff?

But, you did blew Agnapostate's argument out of the water with that 8.5% figure.

Actually, if most rapes ended in murder presently, that would constitute a counter-argument, since we couldn't argue that rapists will be substantially more inclined to murder their victims in that case...they already would. :2wave:

All the more reason to go ahead and smoke all rapists. Right?
 
I believe in a point system for all violent crimes. If a person racks up enough points they should be executed.

...they are saying that if you start executing rapists they'll be way more likely to kill their victims and not leave witnesses who could testify against them in court.

Then how about a sentence of "death by slow torture"?

So rapists don't care about dying?

Hey, I would see the ****ers split from groin to gullet and then have a pack of hungry hogs turned loose on them while they try to hold in their own innards. But if it is going to make it more probable that a child will be killed after being raped, I can put that desire in check.

Do murderers? If the death penalty was an incentive to NOT kill I think we'd have far less people killing by your argument wouldn't we? Because neither nor rapists stop to think about the legal consequences of their actions. They simply think they can get away with it. So obviously the death penalty is not an incentive to not rape or kill but merely a punishment. One that shouldn't rationally be applied to rapes.

Public execution and then putting the body on display for all to see is the way our ancestors used to take care of such matters before lawyers and limp wristed psycholgists took over. Serves a good purpose of giving those prone to abberant behavior, especially young empty minds, time to reflect on where that life leads to. I am strong believer in bringing back unpleasantness, uncomfortness, and pain for criminals in our USA justice system much like Joe Arapaio has in Maricopa County Arizona.

He should've just married some child brides. Why the hell do you have to rape a kid in countries that legally institutionalize pedophilia? Glad that Saudi Arabia made a good call on this one anyway.

EDIT: Let me guess - he was raping little boys (had he been raping little girls I bet he would've gotten off with about 10 years in prison)
