Death For Child Molesters?

Maybe.

I's just pointing out a slice of local life and the issues we face where I live.

Some people deserve to die.

Tell me. Would you want a four or five time convicted kiddie rapist moving in to your neighborhood? Do you really think those sex offender lists keep your kids safe? These guys don't plan on stopping any time soon. Going to prison isn't a bad thing for them. In prison, they are often introduced to new networks and groups of people who have more effective means of luring children in. Most of these guys come out prison far more dangerous than when they went in. It's like a school for them.

That's a straw man argument. You're only offering the choice of death penalty or release from prison. There's a third option: life in prison. It keeps the child molesters you're afraid of safely away from kids without the mess that the death penalty brings with it.

Like it or not, there are people that just do not deserve to live.

I'm a Christian. I believe that none of us deserve to live, but by the grace of God we have all been shown mercy by the Creator. We are asked in turn to show mercy to those who may not deserve it as well.
