Not the same thing at all. This is a person who would like nothing more than to prey on innocent children. Disgusting, and so are you apologists.
Sure it is. You've insisted that unless we can *guarantee* that someone won't do something in the future....they should be executed or imprisoned permenantly.
Um, no. They shouldn't. Especially when they've *never* done what you want a guarantee they'll 'never' do.
Second, you're equating *desire* alone with the commission of a crime. With punishment so severe that based on desire alone, you want people executed or permenantly imprisoned. Presumably without trial, as they've commited no crimes.
Why then wouldn't a man who has never raped anyone fit your standards? After all, there's no guarantee he'll *never* rape someone.
Why wouldn't anyone who has ever desired a person that doesn't desire them back fit your standards? After all, desire alone is your standard for execution or incarceration.
