Should rapist be put to death if guilty?

Should Rapist be put to death if guilty?

I don't know how to answer this question...maybe just send them my way, I'll figure it out.

yeah honestly it should I was raped when I was 12 and it messed my life up totally..

yeah think so too
cause if they aready did it once they can do it again

yes, but they should have their junk cut off before they are put to death. mabey that would stop more people from rapeing. expecially child molesters.

A serial rapist... YES

Some drunken insecure frat boy who has rejection issues... NO

I agree with Captain.

No.
As horrible a crime as rape is, the death penalty should be reserved for "in kind" crimes, that is, crimes that result in the death of the victim, and then only the worst ones - multiple or serial murders, or extreme torture murders.

Hell yeah I think they should be put to death as soon as they hit prison that's what I would do if I had those rules.

Dotto bimjob (did ya ever think THIS would happen?? )

Rape and murder?? Yes, and it is a capital crime in many states...Serial rape...where the safety of the public needs to be secure...a life sentence...the fat frat boy and the drunk girl at a party? No...I don't really know how these should be treated, to be honest...that particular scenerio has taken place so many millions of times, with so many different outcomes...But I'd venture to say, that the rapist at the frat party isn't an ongoing threat to society at large.

I dont think anybody deserves a death penalty!! its awful
but..come to think abt it...hmmm...maybe some do!!

yea because they might strike again you never know whats in their mind it can mess people up really bad and mess with their lives so yes they should be able to pay for their chioces and be able to deal with it

well they should be put away for a longzzz time!(LIFE)

Absolutely not. A lifetime of prison? I would agree and I do not mind lending my taxes to the cause. Death? Absolutely not. Who are we to play god?

Also - you are letting someone get away and you are giving them the easiest way out. Rather than allowing them to suffer in Jail, you are ending their life for them so that they do not have to deal with their consequences.

That's an interesting philosophy...the "letting them suffer in jail for life", instead of "putting them down like the dirty dogs they are"...except...if asked, they'll ALL opt for the "suffering in prison" choice...that makes me suspicious of the rapist's view of which is worse...

However, I do believe that the Karma bus could be waiting for them right at the prison entrance...like make the punishment get more specific...they HAVE to live with the general population (no protective tier for them)...the rapist can now be the rapee...that would make a life sentence seem VERY long.

This is a hard question.
At times I'll be like YEAH!!!
I guess it depeneds...
Either way, rapist, pedophiles, or whatever should get LIFE in prison, atleast.
I think it's stupid how sometimes they only get like 5-10-20 years.

this guy who was a rapist close to where I lived, got out of jail, played the lotto and won fifty million dollars.

I think he should have given that money to the girl he raped.
That has no real relevance really, but I just thought I'd put that out there..

 
No, not unless murder is included as part of the crime.

Nope, but life in prison, definitely. (However, I would *like* them to die.)

Definatly not. No one deserves to die.

As someone who was raped as a child over 200 times by her adoptive father, I'd have to say I'm in favor of the death penalty for rapists. (castration would be nice too.)

I go to trial in 2 weeks. I'll be happy of course if he gets life.

Many people think of stranger rape when they hear the word rape. Aquantance rape is much more common, especially in child rape instances.

The frat guy at the party with a drunk girl - I am apalled that many people seem to think that scenario is less serious. Rape is RAPE no matter WHAT capacity the person is in or what they wear or how they act.

xox
Sika

It IS less serious... ONE time (drunk and newly acquainted) vs. TWO HUNDRED times (by a paedophile / father figure = serial rapist). There's a big difference.

YES
to me yea
