Along with most of what Randi said. I tell my kids that they can lie to bad guys. I let them know that if someone tells you not to tell because they will hurt them or us as the family then it is ok to tell the bad guy that they won't tell. But if they tell they will not get into trouble.
After we establish his guilt... I'm recommending the "Dan treatment".
For those of you who may not know Dan... he was a 450 pound silverback gorilla up at the zoo. So we simply apply a liberal amount of female gorilla "in-heat" scent to the perp's back side, and introduce him to Dan. Something about a pedophile being ass raped to death by a primate that large would make a lot of us feel better. Picture a grown man being thrown around like a rag doll till near death... only to be raped again for good measure. I'm sure his last thoughts would be similar to those of his victim.
Book 'em Dano
If this goes through it might 'reform' a few sickos. Mr. BLM might get to face something new....
Court mulls death penalty for child rape By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer
40 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court agreed Friday to decide whether a state can execute someone convicted of raping a child, one of the few remaining crimes that does not require the death of the victim to result in capital punishment.
Patrick Kennedy, 43, was sentenced to death for the rape of his 8-year-old stepdaughter in Louisiana. He is one of two people in the United States, both in Louisiana, who have been condemned to death for a rape that was not also accompanied by a killing.
The Supreme Court banned executions for rape in 1977 in a case in which the victim was an adult woman.
Kennedy's lawyers say the death penalty for child rape violates the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment.
The justices were scheduled to hear arguments in the case in April.
The last executions for rape or any other crime that did not include a victim's death were in 1964.
Forty-five states ban the death penalty for any kind of rape, and the other five states allow it for child rapists. Kennedy's case is the only time a state has sought to execute someone. Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas allow executions in such cases.
The Louisiana Supreme Court upheld the sentence. "Our state legislature and this court have determined this category of aggravated rapist to be among those deserving of the death penalty, and short of first-degree murder, we can think of no other non-homicide crime more deserving," Justice Jeffrey Victory wrote.
Chief Justice Pascal Calogero dissented, saying that with the possible exception of espionage or treason, "the Eighth Amendment precludes capital punishment for any offense that does not involve the death of the victim."
The child rape case is the second capital punishment case from Louisiana this term at the Supreme Court. The justices already are considering whether a prosecutor improperly excluded blacks from a jury and then inflamed the all-white panel with references to the O.J. Simpson case.
In addition, the court is weighing whether the way Kentucky executes prisoners by lethal injection
Hell, they won't even kill admitted murderers.
They can have all the sentences they want, I just find that notion odd when they've pretty much put a halt on capitol punishment.
That
I would think that child rapist get off --- often?? -- Even when guilty.
Am I right?

Yes the locals don't like the people who from out of the area or state, but not everyone who works for them is a pedophile, a sex freak or even the enemy.
I'll bet that investigations shows he has done this before, if not in Kanab, then where he previously worked.
FOR THOSE THAT WOULD KILL IF HE HAD MOLESTED THEIR CHILD: as another poster said, you would be depriving your child of the person they so very need at this point in their life.
Bruce... I could not agree more! However the old time population of Kanab has a whole different way of thinking that shocks me. It has taken years for me to accept how they do think, but I finally have. Granted.. not all are that way! But so many. Things are changing as the town grows and new people move in though. There is hope!
It would only make it worse if they know he did it before he came to Kanab. That makes him all the more an 'outsider.' I guess I should not mention any of this, but it just amazes me how the mind set is there.
No, it is ok to post your thoughts and feelings. How many people from Kanab read the UUtah forum. I can think of only one.
Most of my co-workers are of the Morman faith and yet it doesn't affect me at all. I know how they feel, wonder in some cases why they put up with some of things that go on but just don't let it interfere with my interactions with them.
I realize that sometime in the near future I will be leaving Bryce and when I'm gone they will have not changed and I will be just someone who 'used' to work at Bryce.
I can see the different views presented here, but in my eyes, anybody guilty of raping a child needs to make restitution with the only thing he has worth anything to him, his life. I am a full supporter of capitol punishment and believe our society has grown soft in the noodle when it comes to making things right by the victims. If the heart-bleeding liberals want to save these criminals from their fate, then I think the courts should start putting these monsters in the personal care of those who want my tax dollars to put them up and feed them for the rest of their lives. I guarantee that there's not a single one of them, in their right minds, who would take one of these people into their homes, knowing what they are capable of. :soapbox:
I also think they should bring back the firing squad. :rifle:
