IMO child sex crimes should get mandatory life in prison.
I like grown women. If I was arrested for that and made to go to counseling for it and made to sit in prison for 20 years....I'd still like grown women and I'd still hook up with one when I got out.
I think the same can be said of guys that like little boys and girls. Keep them in jail forever but no I don't support death penalty.
I don't support the death penalty unless a death has occurred. For instance, the man who buried this 9 year old girl alive, after raping her. Or the man who tied his 6 year old step daughter to a chair and then beat her to death, after starving her, because she "stole" a yogurt out of the refrigerator. Because she was starving.
I am not going to argue to keep those things alive. If they are put in prison, for life, no possibility for parole, that's ok too. But I am not going to waste my energy on even arguing, or caring, if they do indeed get the death penalty.
