While I am not a big fan of the south, I say BRAVO to this new law that OK just passed. If any sicko ever touches my daughter, I would kill him my self.

I am trying to understand what this has to do with the south. There are plenty of northern states with the death penalty. I agree this is a good law, but as someone who grew up in "The North", but currently lives in "The South", I do not understand the seemingly prevalent bias against this region.

While that might be true, capital punishment in the US is very much a Southern phenomenon.

"The last message you want to give an offender who has the life of a child in his hands is you might as well kill the child because he's already got the death penalty," said Brook, who runs the Virginia Capital Case Clearing House, which assists lawyers in death penalty cases. "This is a very stupid message."
Better to be a rape survivor than a murder victim, which I presume we'll see an increase in these states...

Again, not exclusive to the south. Furthermore, if the residents don't like it, they can lobby for it to be changed.

If any crime should be up for capital punishment, sex crimes should be.
Once a girl/woman has been violated they are never the same. A lot of the time it destroys that person forever.

I note it's for a 2nd conviction ; nonetheless, it will probably get knocked down by the courts.
Incidentally, sex offenders quite often murder their victims,and I doubt the death penalty would make any difference.
Incidentally, doesn't OK have a Democratic governor too ?
I see several of the states have Democrats at the helm,so I assume it's not a Republican/Democrat kind of thing.

Sounds like a good law to me. And I would doubt that the murder rate of people being raped goes up, there are rapists who are in it for the sexual pleasure and domination, and then there are those that go into it with murder being the summation of the act, two different types of people, I doubt that those that are in it for the domination, degredation and sexual pleasure will all of a sudden start murdering the victims just because the penalty is the same.

Um, that has to be one of the dumbest things i've heard in a long time. If any crime should be up for capital punishment, it is - DUH- murder.... Not saying theres anything wrong with thinking it shoudl be one, but that statement was pure ignorance.

I'm afraid that's in the realm of "urban legends" : may have been true at one time,but no more !
The typical serious offenders don't care about children one way or the other-mainly because all they REALLY care about is themselves.
Sex offenders piss and moan when they are sent to "treatment facilities" -mainly because they can't get out on parole as quickly,and because they get supervised a tiny bit more strictly.

It didn't "seem to imply" anything. You interpreted it that way. The list was clearly labeled.

The southern parts of MO are very much "Southern" in terms of culture and regional identity.
During the Civil War, Missouri was a "Border State", and along with Kentucky, had two separate governments, one Union and one Confederate. In my view, that makes it, to some significant degree, a Southern state.

I say execute the molester, and then execute dumb lawyers who make such stupid statements.
Child molestation is the most dispicable of all crimes, even beyond murder IMHO. It should be stamped out ruthlessly and without remorse.

Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 13): Anyone messes with my daughter - and well - lets just say there won't be any evidence left . . .
First of all, this almost looks like a police officer publicly sanctioning illegal actions, not that I'd ever put that past you; you've made comments like this before. Second, the chances that you'd somehow be a witness are probably fairly slim. Thus, you'd most likely be killing another human based primarily on the word of a child.
Children don't always understand and fully appreciate the consequences of their actions. Parents often think they know their child well enough to see through any lies, but that simply isn't the case. When I was a child, most of my friends and I could bluff our parents without much trouble and the more serious the lie, the more likely they were to believe it. If you later found out that you had possibly killed an innocent person, would you even admit to your actions?

That's 82.4% of all US executions since 1976.
I agree with you, but those numbers you are posting need to be run on a correlation model with the population of the state.

That is not true. Sex offenders and murderers are a different kind of animal. Sex offender have a sichological pathology and what they are looking for when molesting is not murder. They are searching to satisfy some disfunctional desire in their minds.

Acroos the board, no. There are many reasons for committing murder and not all murders are the same. A cold blooded murder should see the death penalty I agree, but when a wife who's been abused for years snaps and kills hubby, it's just not the same.

Well there are exceptions to every rule ,but I stand by my previous post in generalization 100%. Maybe could say first degree murder.

I have a question for the liberals here who jump to say that murdering a child is worse than molesting them (I'm not talking about a peek up a skirt, which is bad enough, but all-out rape). Liberals also say that prison time is worse than the death penalty.
We have all heard countless interviews and reports of how victims of child sexual abuse live lives filled with horror and fear, and a variety of disfunctions all related to what happened to them. That appears to me to be no different to what you claim prison to be - with the exception that you are never "let out". The experience will haunt the child for life.
So, by liberals' arguments with the death penalty, child abuse is worse than prison, which is worse than execution - which itself has been called murder by many liberals.
So which is it?
