I SO agree with this:
S.C. May Soon Execute Repeat Child Rapists
State Senate Gives Preliminary Approval To Bill
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The South Carolina Senate has given preliminary approval to a bill that authorizes the death penalty for twice-convicted child rapists.
The proposal approved Tuesday still needs a final reading before going on to the House.
It would authorize prosecutors to seek capital punishment for any sex offender convicted twice of raping children younger than 11.

I support the death penalty for very few things, but child molestation is ABSOLUTELY one of them. A repeat child molester has voluntarily sacrificed his/her right to exist on this planet. I hope it hurts.
Actually, I would probably opt for the parents of the molested child/ren (or the victims themselves, if they are now fully-grown) to have this choice:
In a room with the perp. Perp in restraints, possibly against the wall. Table of shiny sharp implements by the door, for the victims/parents' easy access. Two hours of whatever you like. If the perp dies in the process, all the better.

As vile as they are for such acts, I cannot support the death penalty. There are moments when I really would wish to see this, but with a more time to ponder, move back towards locking them in and welding the door shut.
Nelle, what are your reasons for opposing the death penalty?
Bear in mind that this is suggested for repeat offenders - ie people who have been convicted twice or more. IMO it's extremely unlikely that an innocent person would be convicted twice for a molesting offence.
