I agree 100% - the justice system is too soft on rapists. IMO, they deserve life in a cell the size of a closet. But we can't have ordinary citizens dispense justice(unless they witness an attack). There was a time in America(not long ago), when innocent men were hung from trees based on accusation. What we need to do is get on our elected officials to make the punishment fit the crime.

i somewhat agree b/c you may not witness an attack but there may be other compelling evidence; detailed description from the child of who attacked her, what they did, look like, significant physical characteristics that would only be known if the attacker exposed himself, third party witness, or multiple victims. Many rapist have comitted dozens if not hundreds of crimes before they ever get caught. Prevention is key! Criminals probably fear the everday vigilante far more than the justice system.

Despite America's ugly past about lynching (i think that's what ur refering to) America has never taken to task child rapists. As a matter of fact, many cultures find it perfectly acceptable to pair children with adults (think child bride) and many cultures think that child molestation is simply teaching the child about sex. Bottom line is America today has to be better than she was yesterday and better than other nations. We have to show the world that you don't fuck with our kids! Period! I don't trust elected officials. I live in Cali and we have the 3 strikes law which is the biggest crock of shit ever. Basically you steal a car twice and a candy bar a third time and you go to prison for life. Kill somebody once and you get 6 years! We have Megans Law here too but children are still raped and molested at alarming rates and in SF and LA we repeatedly have to crack down on teen sex slave trades. the law is useless!

I hear you, and to be honest, maybe I'd snap if some fool hurt one of my young family members(we're only human). But I'd have to be willing to face the music.

uPtoWnNY said:

Too many innocent men in prison today also. How many have been exonerated after spending years in prison...

If the justice system is so incompetent in finding the right guy... then I'm really not going to trust vigilantes to be able to...

I've never been sexually assaulted, but I know people who have been. Too many people IMO, and many of them even years after the fact have a hard time saying out loud what happened. One girl even is still "friends" with her rapist.

DesireeNevermind said:

I can get with your overall point, but watch it with the ethnocentrism will you? It's ignorant.

Set the vigilantes onto the rapist, his friends and his family? Are you joking?

mdiver said:

I know, but I can keep hoping.

meow85 said:

All we can pray for is some half decent non US mods...half decent would be a huge improvement but i would prefer decent

she was 13...some people don't know the damage that does to the victim...physically and emotionally.

meow85 said:

before you accuse me of being ethnocentric maybe you ought to point out to me which ethnicity I'm referring to...since you apparently have the power to read my thoughts?

uPtoWnNY said:

im sure some people have- but i think most just feel helpless...id first want to set my kid up to be safe and well taken care of...then off to whooping that mofo's ass and then some. Im just not one to turn the other cheek under circumstances like that. if the justice system was so damn good we wouldn't have this problem to the extent that we do.. the statistics are unacceptable IMHO.

coolcat said:

you tell me how many men have been exonerated. and tell me how many of them were sentenced to prison for raping a child and they turned out to be innocent. the justice system is incompetent when it comes to protecting children. why do you think the statistics for child rape and murder and all other abuse is so high. I think ur focusing on the wrong topic- either that or you been watching too much CNN.

mcmeekle said:

Um...No. You'd be surprised how many people have child molesting child abusing family members and friends but choose to ignore the issue. Also, there is the fact that many child molesters associate with other child molesters. Its a club of sorts.

peacenlovealways said:

either they don't know or don't care. my $$ is on the latter.

DesireeNevermind said:

Very damn true. I find this very prominent in the Black community. Molestation and Mental Health are the 2 most taboo subjects that frequently go undiscussed in the Black community.

MuthaFunka said:

For realz? See that's what I'm talking about. Crimes and social ills like this continue and become an infestation because people choose to look the other way. Even those that choose to let the justice system deal with it are complicit because often...the victims don't testify and the charges against these monsters are dropped or some freakin plea deal is made; they get out in a few months and are back on the streets ruining some other kid's life. Absolutely infuriating.

DesireeNevermind said:

Yep. For the Black community, it's mainly the "interference" from the church on these issues. It's believed that prayer and service will take care of those t "issues," so they're swept under the rug for "God to handle," especially when it comes to mental illness. The Black church and its impact is huge in a lot of Black people's lives.

MuthaFunka said:

Oh that just makes me Did the church just forget about free will and the whole obeying of god's law and man's law? We are supposed to govern ourselves to some degree.

And what about the Devil? This is the problem i have with many a church. They preach being a servant to God and loving or obeying him but they don't address those who are of an allegiance to the devil. I believe in God but I don't think God wouldn't want me to protect my family and myself from those that would do us harm and I damn sure don't believe he would be okay with just letting child rapists go unpunished and mentally ill go untreated. This is such an archaic thought process. I remember watching a child molestation special on Oprah and this poor woman had been repeatedly raped by her own father from the time she was like 5 up until she was 12. The damage was so severe that he took away her ability to have children. Some fat ass Bishop Jakes (black guy) was on there telling this woman she had to "forgive" her father. I wanted to yank his ass thru the television. I don't think he ever condemned the father but all his focus was on her and how she had to find it in her heart and what not. Made me wonder what shady past he was hiding.

DesireeNevermind said:

That's just it - religion itself is all about control.

mdiver said:

Absolutely, and mainly because people no longer fear there being any consequences to their actions.

You can say "lock him away for life" and feel good about yourself, but the truth is that these pervs get a slap on the wrist and are sent out on the street to start anew.

So a scumbag rapes a f*cking THIRTEEN YEAR OLD, and her kin give him an old fashion ass-whoopin'. So what?! It's a consequence of his actions. Like throwing a bowling ball up in the air and not moving out of the way when it comes down. Like getting shit-faced drunk and falling onto a subway track and losing a limb. Like a 130-lb computer geek picking a fight with a 300-lb NFL linebacker and losing most his teeth.

CONSEQUENCES.

Was the family of the rape victim acting irrationally, vengeful and un-Christianlike? Yup.

But some of us think that the rape of a child is a heinous enough act that the consequence of that action call for more than just an inconvenient incarceration.
