Officer tells of finding Florida girl buried alive

AKE WORTH, Florida (CNN) -- A police officer who came upon an 8-year-old girl buried in a Florida landfill said "hopelessness turned to hope" when a fellow officer saw a finger move.
Holy crap, that would freak me out. :paranoid:
Good thing to know she's alive, but the fucker that did it needs to be assfucked by Bubba. :icon33:

When you Americans say thinks like 'put him in the pound-me-in-the-ass-prison' and 'that dude needs to be fucked by Bubba', do you feel this is fair and just, especially taking into account the high percentage of HIV positive inmates?

So is kidnapping an 8-year-old, raping her, and burying her alive, leaving her for dead.

That is a terrible thing to do to a child or anyone for that matter. I'm sorry, I have no pity for someone who does this sort of thing.

Look, if you're going to send someone to a prison where you know there's a high chance he'll get sexually assualted by other inmates (who have a large chance to be infected by HIV), that is not justice.

That is goverment ordered rape and possibly murder, and i find it difficult to see how you can defend it.

Woods chippers act way too quick. The suffering needs to be long and painful, like their abuse.

An "eye for an eye" make the criminals think twice.

Its quite easy to defend. That child's life is forever ruined. She no longer has her innocence and will probably have mental issues for life. To do such a thing to a child of EIGHT YEARS OLD is one step away from a death sentence. You not getting this is whats disturbing and difficult.

Wood chipper.
the point -> .

Punishment has nothing to do with vengeance or lack of pity, it's only goal should be to protect the populace. This can be achieved very effectively with imprisonment. There is absolutely no need for further punishment, no matter how barbaric the crime was, since the purpetrator is behind bars and is no longer a threat to society.

It's completely immoral.

I don't support vengence for the sake of vengence. The ultimate goal of punishment is to prevent re-offense and deter criminals from breaking the law in the first place. Where possible, the criminal system should be adjusted accordingly based on the effect on crime rates, to determine that method which best reduces crime.

Some say Canada and Europe are too easy on criminals, maybe, but they have lower crime rates. I don't rule out other causes for this lower crime rate, but it's something to consider.

Eye for an eye is the oldest law out there. Old is always best. Just like grandpa always knows best. If you don't go with eye for an eye you're saying that grandpa isn't best. BUT GRANDPA IS ALWAYS BEST!

You think pulling her attacker through a woodchipper will take away the trauma? What possible good does it serve except making YOU feel better? And does that justify doing it?

I think not.

Doesn't the US have something like 10% of their adult male population in prison right now?

Aren't we all selfish anyway. Even the preacher man who cries from his pulpit is only doing so because the fear of God is in him. Even the hippie liberal who sucks tree dick is only doing so because the tree gives good head.

I hope to god you never have to ask yourself if you still believe this statement while standing over your child's hospital bed.
If that happened to my daughter, I would do everything I possibly could to make sure that whoever did it met a BAD end.

Incentive for others not to do it. That and it removes him from the population, thus bettering the gene pool. Oh, and more oxygen for me.

Bah, jsut give him to Marcellus Wallace.

I tend to agree with Ryoki, though I would add that in addition to protection for society (from the criminal), there should be, in addition, a focus on rehabilitation of the criminal.

Also, protection for society can be in the direct way (by jailing the perpetrator) or by deterrence (by making it less likely that others will commit crimes).

I don't believe in retributive justice, although if someone close to me was brutally murdered, it would be very hard to overcome the feelings. But I would rather resolve the feelings by watching the criminal accept his crime, and rehabilitate, than by bitter vengeance.

Do you feel a sexual predator can be cured? I always thought sex was a preference and trying to change a predators sexual orientation was like trying to make a gay person straight or vice versa

Ryoki is right, that's why we evolved from medieval justice. Even when it comes to horrible crimes like this you have to detach your emotions and feelings so it doesn't influence the process in a subjective way.

Revenge is not retribution
