Whilst I don't agree with the ridiculously short sentences these disgusting people receive, some of the suggestions for 'punishments' made in this thread are absolutely disgusting. I don't know about most people, but I would much rather see a criminal suffer for decades on end in prison than killing them quickly. And I know that doesn't happen, but that is what needs to happen.

As far as 'inhumane' things go, the furthest I would go is leaving the criminal in a cell with no clothes, no water, no food, absolutely until they eventually die.

But as I've already said, it would then teach kids that we accept and promote violence and torture - and we'd end up with even more criminals than we have now.

This coming from one who thought the 'jokes' made about the toddler taped to a wall were ok to laugh at,lol,oh dear and as it happenes I would prefer to see a criminal be behind bars for decades,but they don't do they?they get a cushy ride,so you can't wonder why people get angry,so stop pontificating and TRY and understand where some of us are coming from,so do you think leaving one to die of cold,thirst or starvation is more humane than ,chopping their hands off or steralizing them?Why should we be humane to things that harm our kids,Would you feel the same if it was YOUR child?
