Incredibly Sobering Article by Lavar Arrington

Sandusky is fu*ked. Life without for sure. But fu*k that motherfu*ker, who cares about some serial molesting piece of crap? The ones that should be focused on are the victims, but the media (As usual) always wants to make it all about the criminal. This story strikes a nerve way too close to home with me and it angers me when the focus is on some asshole rather than on helping the victims.

This was a reference to my death penalty comment earlier. I could care less if we have the death penalty or not, but some of the posters seem to agree with beating a man to death that molested their child, while being against the death penalty. Why is that OK but, having a jury of 12 decide to put a man to death so cruel?

My thought is that no one likes the death penalty until it happens to one of their family members being raped or murderd and then its justified.

It's cruel and unusual. The state has no business murdering anyone. The case where the father protected his child is different. He caught the subject while he was engaged in serious sexual assault. By definition of the law he can use deadly force. He did so accidentally.

the publicity and focus on sandusky brings the problem of sex abuse into the forefront of public consciousness, which is unequivocally a good thing. the focus of the media should be on sandusky.

You miss the point of what I was trying to say. The victims seem to fall by the wayside in these cases, the focus should be on helping them. To hell with the criminal

I agree. I cant imagine any of the victims would want to be on the forefront of the media blitz on this case. Justice will be served, I just pray its severe

what if one of the many underage girls you've posted pictures of causes a lust to spark in the heart of a disturbed man browsing the forums and is a step in the process of his slow slide towards depraved sexual abuse?

or are you already that guy

See thats the thing. None of the girls i posted were underage save one, one picture. And that was a kind of "in your face" at a poster that was calling me out. Sorry to bust the bubble but no dog, none were underage. Hell most if not all are porn stars.

The line between victims and abusers is not as distinct as people here want to portray. Most abusers were victims themselves. Why some go from victims to being abusers is not always easy to figure out.

I always though it was a control thing.

[panthers55]

The rationale for the death penalty or not letting pedophiles out of jail is that the research suggest they rarely are rehabbed and typically offend again. It isn't punishing them so much as stopping them from doing it again and sparing the 50,000 dollars per year it costs to keep someone locked up every year. To lock up a pedophile for 40 years will cost $2,000,000.

Rape is often a control thing, Pedophilia is when an adult prefers children as their primary sexual object. Very different.

I don't know their mental makeup i just figured they went after kids because they were easy targets.

Incest abusers often pick kids as substitutes for adults because they are easy to control. Pedophiles usually are a lot more disturbed and dangerous.
