Child molester gets justice
« on: May 30, 2009, 09:35:08 AM »
Print ShareThisRIYADH, Saudi Arabia  —  Saudi authorities beheaded and crucified a man convicted of brutally slaying an 11-year-old boy and his father, the Interior Ministry announced.

According to the statement issued by the ministry Friday, shop owner Ahmed al-Anzi molested the boy and then strangled him with a length of rope. He then stabbed the boy's father to death when the man came looking for his son.

Didn't know anyone still did crucifixion.
That's pretty interesting.
Well, if there's one thing to like about Saudi Arabia...

Would be better if they crucified him first.....a slow and lingering death.

Yeah, I'm perplexed by the logic of beheading first.  If you're going to punish to this extent, may as well go all the way. :lol

Sometimes even barbarians, by their very lack of sophistication, do things more efficiently than civilized folk.

Strictly speaking, I don't believe in a government-enforced death penalty.

I DO believe in an armed populace, jury nullification, and the validity of the "he had it coming, therefore not guilty!" defense in court, *particularly* for vengeful parents. :aok

Although it could be argued that turning these particular offenders out into the general prison population is a punishment worse than death.

Beside an eye for an eye type punishment, I think this is about the most appropriate sentencing this guy could have gotten.
Sent a message, too. A decapitated, crucified body hanging in public is going to make sure very few children are molested and murdered in Saudi Arabia for a while, I would think.

Or it just means they will try harder not to be caught.


I still think the punishment was good though.

You know, there is a certain amount of evidence that the certainty of justice and swiftness of justice is a huge deterrent, and that this certainty and swiftness are largely more important than the severity of the punishment itself.

Of course, when it comes to this *certainty* I speak of, the  widely-held impression is more important than the reality. I sometimes wonder if the 1,001 T.V. shows about forensic work we have nowadays are an attempt to convince the populace they will always be caught if they commit a crime.

As much as I have zero tolerance for child molesters, I do understand that they are sick people, who cannot be cured. As such, torture and less than humane methods of execution are not called for. A simple bullet to the back of the head would be sufficient. I am pro death penalty, and pro harsh and severe sentencing, don't get me wrong, I believe in hard time, hard labor, and no privileges as well. But mentally sick people, as in the criminally insane, should be executed in the same manner as any other criminal, quickly and efficiently.

As an aside, by the way, when the Constitution was written, the men who wrote it, and included the clauses that forbid cruel and unusual punishment, were using hanging and the firing squad as methods of execution. They did not consider hanging or the firing squad to be either cruel or unusual. Therefore either of those methods are quite acceptable. So, lethal injection should not be considered cruel and unusual, by any stretch, since they anesthetize a subject before they stop the heart and lungs. In fact, any method of lethal injection would be far more kind than they deserve. Go back to shooting them and hanging them, it works. Most of their victims suffered worse.

Huh...A normal heterosexual can endure celibacy without resorting to rape, so I don't see how child molesters get off the moral hook. But I agree torture as opposed to quick kill really isn't suitable...it is about maintaining what we (as a society are), not how "bad" the criminal being punished is.

I'm all for chemical castration and a full frontal lobotomy myself.

That or chain them to a chair and glue their eyes open and force them to watch the Teletubbies 24/7.

Maybe that's why the priesthood is under such scrutiny of late. hmmm..



in any case, I do not agree with the execution part. That's getting them off the hook lightly. Me? I believe in eye for an eye sort of deal: build a prison for gay criminals where the inmates are kept isolated from each other except during the once a day, unsupervised, 20 minute time in the yard. Oh.. and his cell is the yard.

It's a mistake to say that because a man molests a boy he is a homosexual.
