Answer 1

I'm pulling the trigger

Answer 2

The law is there to penalise those who do the crime with incarceration. Thankfully the UK abolished capital punishment some 40 years ago.
Since then, some convictions/executions have been found to be unsafe.

This raises the ugly fact that the law can and does get it wrong even with the jury system. This fact of the prosecution service getting it wrong was reflected in the recent rejection to increase the time a person can be held on remand to three months.
The rejection is basically saying, be better police officers and do your jobs properly.

Unfortunately due to the nature of rape, it can be extremely hard to prove. this is often the case in domestic cases where rape may have began as consensual sex between two or more adults but descended into something more violent. With people more liberated in their views on what passes for normal sex, the distinction between rough sex and normal sex is somewhat blurred.

The government of the UK has tried to bring in laws on non consensual sex and drinking whereby it is automatically deemed rape, or likely to be a weightier consideration, if the woman was drunk at the time of the assault. At what point is she said to be drunk i don't know but it is an example of the state trying to up the prosecution figures, rather than improve methods of detecting rape.

The prosecution services should work harder to execute a safe conviction rather than execute the defendant.

Answer 3

Depends. After a trial and a finding of guilt, in some states a rapist may be eligible for the death penalty. And, last I heard, death by firing squad was still one method allowed in Utah. (As I understand it, they accept voluteers and have a lottery or something. So it IS possible you could be a trigger puller.) I'm not sure if the US military still uses that (as in the cases of the soldiers who have recently pled guilty to the rape and murders in Iraq or those with charges still pending).

Answer 4

Yes than victims wouldn't have to stand up in court, be told what a slag they are (when they aren't) and how they deserved it, even asked for it and still not get a conviction only 4% do. Not even a restraining order!
Though personally i would opt for a similar kind of mental toture to that they used on their victim and perhaps the word rapist tatooed on their forehead so everyone knows what they are, preventing them from getting on with their lives in a similar way to their victims.

Answer 5

No, waste of bullets.
But I want to prove a scientific experiment because I think that rapists bounce, so my proposal is to get 1000 rapists and push them all off the top of Blackpool Tower. And it would be better entertainment than summer season.

Answer 6

YES - and child molestors. Did you see on news the 9yr old smiling innocently on a tram cctv, sat next to a nonce known to the German authorities? Breaks my heart they found him strangled two days later; after having been repeatedly raped. Skin the paedophile alive. Let him alone in a locked room with his victims relatives.
That poor boy. Same age as my daughter and all.

Answer 7

Put them in a room with the victim,s family for 1 hour end of story

Answer 8

If you are witnessing it occur, I would say go ahead and shoot.

If it is after it has already occurred, I say no, because as contemptible as the person may be, the way our justice system works, we cannot have people simply shooting each other like that. There would be utter chaos.

Answer 9

better to make them suffer don't you think.locked away with no access to what they like to do hurt.getting a hard time from all the in mates finding out what the fear is like they installed in their victims.shooting is too immediate and kind in my eyes.their victims pain and fear lasts forever why shouldn't theirs.Its this thought in a future conviction that keeps me going.thanks for the question hun

Answer 10

Yes.
