Rant Room Community Group
Somewhere for people to have a good rant about anything they choose. Where people don't need to feel guilty about being angry and can just let in out.

oh wait-- without a penis--what would they --do?
SOUNDS ABOUT FAIR TO ME???
Beginning in 1995, a few states enacted the death penalty for child rape not resulting in murder. These laws went unchallenged until 2008.
1995.........Louisiana...........Aggravated rape of a child under 13
1997.........Montana............Second conviction for sexual intercourse without consent accompanied by bodily injury.*
1999.........Georgia.............Carnal knowledge of a female less than 10**
2006.........South Carolina...Repeat offense of criminal sexual conduct with minor under 11 years old
2006.........Oklahoma..........Repeat offense of forcible sodomy of a victim under 14 years old
2007.........Texas................Second conviction of rape of a child under 14
In 2008, the US Supreme Court held, in Kennedy v. Louisiana, 554 US ___ (2008), that it is unconstitutional to impose capital punishment for the crime of child rape when the child does not die, or is not intended to die. This ruling extended the earlier decision in Coker v. Georgia, (1977) to minors and overturned death penalty laws for child rape in the six states that had passed such statutes.
At present, the only crimes for which capital punishment is permitted in the US are capital murder (usually requires aggravating circumstances, which vary by state) and crimes against the state, such as espionage and treason.
My personal opinion is that just because law exists, that doesn't mean the law is right. I would applaud any serial killers out there who want to make their focus killing and secretly disposing of the bodies of child rapists, child molesters, and child abusers. If these criminals just start disappearing without anyone knowing what is happening to them, word will get around, because sickos tend to communicate with other sickos.
I believe that the death penalty is not too severe for the worms who rape or otherwise do irreparable harm to children. Some people just won't stop committing crimes until they are put to death by whatever means necessary, even if it has to be done by breaking the bad laws that now allow them to live.
