"Baby Raped To Death" or "What The Fucking Shit?"

I'm not even going to quote the story because god-fucking-damn, it's pretty bad. There's this guy named Steven Smith killed a six month old girl named Autumn Carter in 1998. He asks that you take pity on him, and turn a murder charge into a lesser sentence. That might actually happen, because apparently Ohio law requires intent to kill for a death penalty verdict, when he only wanted to rape the baby.

I think the discussion would be better if instead of just calling this guy a douchebag, we look at the mental deficiencies or personal troubles that would have originated in order for him to do something like this. Because why the fuck would you do something like this? Rape is awful by itself. Pedophilia is awful. What triggers are there that allow someone to do this?

Goddammit.

*vomit*

what`s the alternate sentence?

Cause right now it still looks like he is going to get the needle for it. Which is fine. i honestly can`t object to that.

On the other hand, life without parole is also fine by me... to some degrees i would actually prefer it. Let him rot, live with the knowledge of what he did and paying everyday for it... killing is just giving him a way out. Maybe that`s a more cruel thought process... but just killing him is also just revenge killing that doesn`t undo the harm he did.

Either way, the article says that the guy drinks a LOT and had sexual performance issues with his then girlfriend (mother of the baby). So, if you wanna talk about triggers... you can start with a "Alpha Male" douchebag's Ego Hurting.

Actually, with how our prison culture works here in the US, a life sentence for him would be rather short. Unless of course he manages to get into protective high risk solitary confinement.

Either way, would we care?

Just throw him into the prison's general population. According to what I've heard, child molesters/rapers/killers are the lowest common denominator. Considered the lowest scum of the prison system. He wouldn't last too long. The words "prison justice" come to mind, despite being an oxymoron.

I agree with this sentiment very much. Just throw him into the general population if they have to put him on a Life Sentence without Parole. It will be a very short life and save the Taxpayers having to pay for his medical care for any length of time.

That may sound cruel but...was it any less cruel TO RAPE A 6 MONTH OLD BABY GIRL TO DEATH JUST TO GET YOUR ROCKS OFF YOU SICK MOTHERFUCKER!

I do not apologize...I got no sympathy for this inhuman monster.

Some people actually are just sick fucks. I don't think there's any mental treatment for them because there is something physically wrong with their brain. I'm sure attempts can be made but the success rate is going to be next to nothing because some few people are just not fixable.

There are times when I wish the US prison system was more focused on rehabilitation than punishment.

And then there's this.
