[QUOTE=zombojoe;39641672]Why are people rating this winner?
The termination of someone's life should never be a cause for celebration, no matter the justification. I would much rather they all be rehabilitated, rather than hanged in such a [b]barbaric[/b] fashion. Rapists and Pedophiles are people too and while they should pay for their heinous mistakes, I believe they should also have to live with them too.[/QUOTE]
I rated you funny, because of this. "Barbaric". Since barbarians are anyone who lives in a civilization outside of the Greek, Roman, or Christian empires, then why [i]shouldn't[/i] they act barbaric? They [i]are[/i] barbarians!
[QUOTE=The golden;39641752]They fucking drugged and gang-raped a 14 year old girl
You go ahead and try and rehabilitate that.[/QUOTE]
You can for some.
Especially concidering that a few of them where probably in it due to peer pressure.
Death penalty is never the answer. Not even for people like Anders Breivick, who did something 100 times worse than this.
[QUOTE=Fhux;39643453]Of course one would want that, but that doesn't make it [I]right[/I]. As I said before, personal pain and a longing for revenge is not reason enough to kill a human being.[/QUOTE]
Sometimes what is "right" gets lost in a sea of tumultuous emotions, never to be found again until it is totally irrelevant.
[QUOTE=Lachz0r;39642208]gang rape, of a child....[/QUOTE]
Yes its bad, but reactions like this make me think: Soccer mom.

Rehabilitation is really impossible, but it's the principle of giving them the chance to at least regret their crime, even if they're gonna be locked up for most (or the rest) of their lives. I won't mourn these people, but I'm against the death penalty, no matter the case.
While I know facepunch is full of variety opinion-wise, it's kind of shocking (nay, extremely shocking) that all of a sudden the general majority supports the death penalty "In this case". You either support it, or you don't. It's like being pregnant. You aren't "sort of" pregnant. You either are or aren't. No gray area!

people told me FP were against the death penalty, like shit.
[QUOTE=Vilusia;39643360]Just because you think the death penalty is outdated doesn't mean other agree with you.
I someone commits a crime like gang raping a girl they don't deserve to live.
I bet if you were the one raped you would want to killed.[/QUOTE]
And I bet if you ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and got charged for a capital crime you didn't commit you would be very angry at anyone who supported the death penalty.

This forum's consensus is topsy tervy beyond belief, first the majority moans about a few criminal's wellbeing, then suddenly act happy over sending someone to death.
lol at how everyone becomes a comic book villian in threads like these. "DUMP THEM IN ACID" "YEAAA KNEE CAP THEM!!!"
couldn't give a shit about them getting hung, its what they deserve

no because youre either pregnant or your not. there is a lot of indecisiveness when it comes to the death penalty look at this for example

This thread title bothers me. "7 to hang for Sudan Child Rape"? Is "Sudan Child Rape" a special type of child rape? Or you mean "7 to hang [B]in[/B] Sudan for Child Rape"? You should have probably been more specific and write something like "7 to hang in Sudan for the gang rape of a 14 year old". I know this is Sensationalist Headlines, but please, mind your titles when you make a new thread.
Also, this is a disgusting crime, but death penalty is just as barbaric (even more by hanging).
wow the people on the board must really hate people with glasses
If you all really want to go with revenge logic then when you just kill them you just make them cease to exist, if there is no hell then there is very little to reason to just kill someone, because they would not really have to experience a punishment for their crime.
It's odd that we aren't willing to question the evidence used against the men. The incident is honestly unfortunate, but if the evidence consisted of poor eyewitness accounts, then I would entirely disagree with the ruling.
Incidents like thesr make it very dificult to stick to my view point when it comes to execution.

Uh, that's how it was an the original article, and it's a very common format for newspaper headlines.
[QUOTE=Melkor;39641741]That doesn't explain sudden dramatic shifts in popular opinion.[/QUOTE]
Let's call it the bandwagon effect

Cannot rehabilitate -> Next logical step is death
[QUOTE=The golden;39649948]I'm not ruling out a prison sentence but have fun finding people who would want their tax money going towards keeping these people clothed and fed in prison.[/QUOTE]
If those people value their own lives, they wouldn't want to live in a country where death was a super common sentence.
Wouldn't castration and prison be a more effective sentence then death?
[QUOTE=Speedhax;39650816]Wouldn't castration and prison be a more effective sentence then death?[/QUOTE]
That requires time and effort (and a sturdy anti-death penalty mind)... killing someone doesn't.
[QUOTE=Fhux;39642720]It's either they live on tax payer money, or they die by tax payer money. However you look at it, I can't see how pain and revenge is reason enough to kill a human being, let alone seven.[/QUOTE]
I'd rather my tax money go to killing twisted pieces of shit, rather than sustaining their useless lives. Regardless of them being stuck in jail or not.

In order to have a "fair" death penalty system (whatever that means), it will almost certainly cost more to kill the criminal than to incarcerate them. If you'd rather have them rushed through the legal process to a hasty death in order to save money, then I'd say that takes a truly twisted mind.
reading this reminded me of this incident:

In a clear cut case like this, I wouldn't mind rushing them at all.
In a case where there is doubt however, that is a completely different story.

You clearly have no idea how a legal system is supposed to work. You don't make special cases, that's how innocent people take the fall.
There is nothing wrong with this at all, we not sinking on there level by far.
This is what they deserve, the sicks fucks.

EXACTLY!

Two completely different types of assault. Apples and oranges. Either way, what you're saying does come across as psychopathic.
