Poll: How would you punish a rapist?
- Thread starter lucky_sharm
- Start date
I haven't read the answers before mine, but to throw in my two cents, I chose Rehabilitation, but I need to add something: CASTRATION! You can't keep your sexual desires under control? Then you're better without it. I'm not sure about the penis itself, but the testes can go to the swines for all I care. I think it has been done before, and eunuchs existed since ancient times, most common in the Ottoman Empire, the guards and male harem caretakers. And the rehabilitation afterwards for integration in society.
This falls in line somewhat with my view on killing other people. You can do it, sure, it's your choice, but don't expect to have a hold onto your own life afterwards. You take a life, you forfeit yours, no bitching if someone does the same to you.

Like it or not, rapists are still human. The only thing we as Society have the right to do is remove them from our midst and keep them where they can't be a danger. If it's possible to rehabilitate them, rehabilitate them. I don't believe that you're making the victim's life any better by torturing, or castrating, or executing their attacker.
Have you considered the fact that rapists were born just the same as us? That they have parents, and brothers, and sisters, and friends. Do you think the victim wants to be blamed for the death of their loved one? The treatment victims get from other people after admitting to being raped is already nothing short of abysmal, but can you imagine if there was more than a prison sentence as consequence?
It's pretty interesting to see how your conscience would justify being raped if telling anyone would lead to your attacker being killed or tortured.

As soon as a person stoops to the level of petty revenge, then they're no better.
Well provided it wasn't the kind of rape that was the guy being 15 and the girl being 16 (or vice versa(if that seems odd its because the legal age here is 16 if you didn't already know)) and it was horrible and not consensual then murder. Kill the fucker, they don't belong in society. No prior imprisonment before death, if they're guilty with out a doubt then just turn up at their house and blow the fuckers brains out...
If the rapist feels guilty, horrible and truly repents then I'd be fine with just then being beaten mostly to death but not fully...

You're assuming it a man while that may not be the case-women are capable of rape [although it's less likely it still happens and is equally horrible-also males are less likely to report if they have been raped so that screws up the actual numbers] and before you say but he got an erection he must have consented-erection are involuntary-there are drugs that force an erection-strap on can be used-Not all men are hound dogs who enjoy any type of sex-female rapeing men tend to lead to the males gentals being mutilated-just some food for thought for you and everyone else who is assuming rapist=man.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
Op
rison and sterilization for both male and females rapist's.
How in the fuck is that protecting your daughter?! If her attacker is on his knees begging for forgiveness that isn't fucking protecting shit, it's cold blooded murder. That is no more protecting his daughter than shooting a robber in the back who is fleeing out the front door - defending your property. If someone can snap so viciously because of their emotions, then I'd damn well say they are unfit to be in a civilised society.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
So what? You're a seer now? You can see the future?NameIsRobertPaulson said:
A person can do terrible, horrifying things to others, but in failing to try and understand what led a person to do such things, that is also a crime against education and understanding.
Understanding something allows us to combat it, and it allows us to rehabilitate those who commit such crimes.
The poll need more options, like "Life sentence", "Castration" (maybe with two options for this), "Harsher punishment if the person does it again", etc.BiscuitTrouser said:
I am conflicted with this, because part of me wants them to suffer. Castrate them or just kill them because people like these have no place in society, and frankly, if they chose to disrespect the basic rights of others, then maybe they should have their own rights taken away (which would mean that you aren't violating their rights when you punish them, when technically they don't have such rights anymore).
HOWEVER... the logical part of my brain kicks in and I think I agree more with the guy I'm quoting: Life sentence for them (because their crime was heinous), and maybe they can get out, if we find a way to prove they won't repeat their crime. If they do it again, or if they ever murder and torture their victims (even more than penetrating them against their will, I mean, like beating them within an inch of their lives or cutting them just to give them even more pain, etc), if they kidnap in order to rape them, then the rapists can be penetrated by a needle with a lethal injection. Hum... now I seem to have hit the same wall as before (the person has nothing to lose if he/she kills the victim)... maybe the death punishment could be worse if the rapist did something like that, but I guess my way of thinking is flawed already... Goddammit!

If we are to take that quote at face value, why not simply kill the offender painlessly rather than the elaborate torture? Either way they aren't going to hurt anyone-else afterwards, so all the torture will achieve is causing needless pain to satisfy one's urge for vengeance.NameIsRobertPaulson said:

Question:Would your punishment still apply to female rapist's
First of all i understand your story and i think what im saying doesnt apply.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
Dale acted in rage. A fit of rage for someone he loved. Thats understandable. Thats not sadism. Or a love of torture. That's a purely emotional response. He didnt choose to feel no empathy. It was forced on him by circumstance. So i wouldnt judge as i judge those who say "I WANNA SAW OFF A RAPISTS COCK AND MAKE HIM EAT IT" because that just glorying in the suffering of others. Its a little demented and marks them as a sadist. I wouldnt say dale was a sadist. Id say he was angry. So angry. It was a calculated torture. It wasnt reveling in suffering. It wasnt an outlet of justified rage. Of course what he did was wrong. But its human emotion that drove it. Not the lust for pain and suffering.
Also he didnt protect his daughter. Hurting that boy didnt make her safer. It wasnt an act of protection. It was one of revenge and anger. Im not going to call him a monster for it. But lets not pretend it was done to ensure her safety since the classmate was going to admit and take punishment for it. It didnt help anyone or make any situation better whatsoever. Sure from his perspective he feels better. But from the outside who is better off? Is anyone safer than they were before? How can he protect her now?
