4 life sentences still not enough.
Yes - These Sick and Perverted Pedophiles that Prey on the Most Innocent and Vulnerable in our Society - Children - Should be Locked away forever. Though I would rather see them not waste Tax Payers Money - sitting in Jail - - and just permanently rid Society of them once Convicted of their Crimes.
Since we are so PC - Politically Correct in America - We cannot Kill them - though that may act as a Deterrent and to some - of them - I wish we had Laws that would Reflect the Outrage we have with these Sick and Perverted Individuals.
There are the 24-States With the Death Penalty - Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wyoming.
These are 3-States that have a Moratorium / Hold on the Death Penalty - California, Oregon, Pennsylvania -
There are 23-States that have Abolished the Death Penalty - Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
We have to Start Being - Harder on Criminals and Pedophiles - This is National Crisis - and requires Strong Politicians, Judges, and Prosecuting Attorneys - to Serve the Needs and Justice of their Communities and Victims and make these - Men and Woman - Serve Time for these Heinous Crimes - - Not just give them Slaps on the Wrist / Probation - so they can Re-Offend Again and Again -
Stop Feeling Sorry for the Criminals and Start Feeling Sorry for the Victims.
