Alabama to castrate child sex offenders.

Good to see you're hanging on every word I write.

You betcha...

White riot:

 
All the more reason that such draconian and frankly stupid punishment shouldn't be carried out.

By that reasoning, why not just legalize everything? The crime rate would drop to zero! ...

By that statement, you indicate you have no idea what draconian punishments are.

I'm not much interested in hyperbole, precisely because I do have a clue. Chemical castration is not 'Draconian'.

It's also not as effective as hanging. :dunno:

True. I'm not much impressed with the 'It's a mental illness' excuse their fellow deviants peddle to get them off, either, but it is an alternative that can achieve a consensus easier than a death penalty.
 

Alabama has made a decision to stand strong against convicted child molesters. Because most Americans agree that criminals who steal the innocence of children are among the worst of the worst, Alabama has decided to pass a chemical castration bill that would forever change any person convicted of an abhorrent sex crime against a child under the age of thirteen, which is a measure approved by most people across the state.

State Representative Steve Hurst, a Republican, introduced the bill. It was passed by the state legislature and was recently signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey. Because the state wants to make it abundantly clear that child molesters are not welcome, the law now requires that any child sex offenders over the age of 21 will be chemically castrated before they leave prison and entered society again.

“They have marked this child for life, and the punishment should fit the crime,” Hurst said.


ALL states should do this. It would put a HUGE dent in the child trafficking problem. Can't/won't sexually abuse children or anyone else if they can't get "satisfaction", now can they?

I don't think I like this. They need to consider maybe chemical castration. Physical castration is irreversible physical mutilation that won't actually stop a person's desire or ability to molest kids, could even raise it to acts of violence instead. Besides, if done, we should send them a bill for the free transgender operation.

How about tattooing their forehead with PEDOPHILE instead.
I agree. Too easy for innocent men to be caught up by vindictive kids, don't say it doesn't happen - it does. Little story. My brother-in-laws daughter decided that she wanted a little more freedom than he and her mother were allowing, so she told a school counselor that her father had "touched" her inappropriately when she was younger. Girls a teenager - very capable of making shit up because she caught a case of the red ass. Long story short, it was a lie. She recanted but NOT before my brother-in-law lost is lifelong career in the military, among other things. Military didn't CARE that it wasn't true, they stuck with the original dishonorable discharge and now he's working for $8 at 50+ years old. So, would he be castrated? Of course, he would. This kind of stuff happens all the time. I agree that sickos that like to rape babies SHOULD be shot, but make DAMNED sure that the accusations are true before moving forward. It's far too easy for malicious women to ruin a mans life like this.

But there are plenty of cut and dried cases; the kiddie porn case is actual evidence, not hearsay. Anecdotal stories are great, except they don't apply in many cases.

False prosecutions are an easily fixed problem, but not many people seem interested in fixing that, since it only hurts poor people who can't afford big bucks for lawyers, which means right-wingers aren't interested and left-wingers love lawyers and wouldn't do anything to hurt their incomes either.
That's not true at all that "right-wingers aren't interested and left-wingers love lawyers." And in case you didn't know "anecdotal stories" are exactly what define the false prosecutions to begin with. Don't try to play it off like it's insignificant because were it not for those "anecdotal" stories, YOU wouldn't even be aware that there IS a false prosecution problem. The so-called "false prosecution" issue wouldn't BE an issue if the standards for conviction had not changed. There's a REASON that it was set up to ONLY convict those whose peers were convinced "beyond a reasonable doubt" of one's guilt rather than convicting on circumstantial evidence and hearsay. It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one. There are far too many innocent people in jail today, it's only acceptable because ALL Americans REFUSE to address the issue. It's not a "right-wing/left-wing" issue, it's a societal issue.

What I said is exactly why an easily fixed problem isn't fixed; few people actually care, until it's their ass in the fix. Just a act, and both right and left wingers don't mind railroading proles into prison if gets them votes. See the prosecutions of those three men in Georgia, endorsed by both Democrats and Republicans in the state of Georgia, for a well known example. And yes, anecdotal stories are indeed worthless when it comes to fixing the problem; nobody should legislate or support legislation based on some story somebody told on the innernetz. That's the same mentality that leads to bandwagoning and lynch mobs.
