    Yes but it happens extremely rarely. Wheelie bin man did his community a favour he should not be locked up.
    This is the point where I'm beginning reckon you're trolling - on one hand you are saying "nobody" you have heard of has been murdered over it, then on the other you were perfectly aware of someone who was, hence you were lying. Secondly, you claim nobody would get murdered over being on a public register, then salute someone... for murdering a person over being a known paedophile.

    Nonsense... again. What about the Asian guy who had his house broken into an was beaten so badly with hammers that the scene was described as a 'bloodbath' with neighbours being woken from their sleep from the screaming. Or the family in Tipperary who had their front window basically caved in, were tied up and terrorised with guns and a machete? I'm sure their 8, 6 and 3 year old daughters won't be traumatised for life over that of course! Or the guy who got attacked in the Great Train Robbery, had to retire because of those injuries and as a result died about a year later.

    These guys re-offend at much, much higher rates than paedophiles - convicts most forms of burglary are over 4 times more likely to do so. But hey, let's not allow facts and reality and all that junk get in the way...

    Not at all surprisingly, not one single person has responded to these on this thread, despite my bringing them up multiple times now.

    .
    I'd agree that those animals that break into peoples houses should get sent down for life. But child abuse is more bigger problem than those sort of burglaries your talking about.

    I only remembered that case your were talking about. Most sexual offenders dont get attacked.

    Also it wasnt murder it was manslaughter the guy was only trying to scare him.

    And you're not? The people of Ireland have voted against capital punishment.

    We were never asked if supported capital punishment against child killers and serial child abusers. Most people with any common sense would support the execution of those people.

    So you dont think pedophiles should be locked up ? your starting to sound like Harriet Harman.

    No, once a paedophile crosses over into a child molester, yes. But many dont, and you're locking someone up for having an attraction/feeling they didn't "choose" to have.
    You'd punishing someone for thoughts not actions.

    Again this is completely untrue - there were 103 reported cases of "defilement of a boy or girl under 17 years of age" from June 2012 - June 2013 (a decrease of 19.5%) compared to 294 cases of aggravated burglary (an increase of 3.2%) - it is almost three times more prevalent.

    http://www.cso.ie/en/media/csoie/releasespublications/documents/crimejustice/2013/recordedcrime_q22013.pdf

    And don't even try and claim that aggravated burglaries do not go unreported.
    We were never asked if supported capital punishment against child killers and serial child abusers. Most people with any common sense would support the execution of those people.
    Yes, we were. We were asked if we wanted to abolish the death sentence for any any all crimes that could be committed, and said yes.

    What are you talking about ? Its well known that pedophiles reoffend.

    I'm sick of people making excuses for these animals.
    according to statistics only 15 % have been proven to re-offend, fact, deal with it, when you post evidence proving what the other 85 % do then we can talk

    Wheelie bin man did his community a favour he should not be locked up.

    Wheelie bin man is a piece of ferrel vermin who needs to be locked up indefinitely, he was probably going to murder someone anyway eventually, just so happens that his first was a paediophile, next time it might be someone for looking strange

    it wasnt murder
    debatable
    it was manslaughter
    because they probably couldn't get enough evidence to charge him with murder, but no doubt it probably was his intention to kill.
    the guy was only trying to scare him.
    was he? and how would you know that now? because thats what he supposibly said in court which in turn was reported in the papers? you know people do say things as part of their deffence? chances are he knew exactly what he was going to do and did so, the CPS couldn't get enough evidence so he was charged with a lesser crime to make sure he served some time at least, he's still locked up thankfully for a while at least.

    wrong, you were asked whether to keep it or abolish it, if your for it for sex offenders and rapists then you would say yes, sounds simple to me and i expect most people.
    Most people with any common sense would support the execution of those people.

    lol, why would "Most people with any common sense" support the execution of those people or anyone? maybe those who don't support executions have the common sense no? what makes your way right? what right do you have to decide who lives or not?

    Not every pedophile acts on his or her desires. It´s the same with any fetish or philia.

    In any case, putting someone to death because of somethign they are and not because of something they´ve done is defintiely never going to be a good idea.

    Oh I'm not speaking in the context of putting them to death for being a pedophile. Was just making the point that I believe them to be a risk...see further down.
    Thats like saying, someone who plays GTA is going to go around robbing cars and killing people.

    Thoughts aren't a crime.

    Not a good analogy and not at all the same.

    It's also akin to suggesting that everyday normal men are a danger as they find women attractive and might rape them.

    Also that stat of 85% is in relation to people convicted of a sexual crime, not people with a diagnosis of pedophilia.

    Sex offender does not equal pedophile
    .

    I know that, I never said it did, but we've veered towards speaking about pedophiles so I'll continue...

    ..It's not at all akin to that.

    Sex with a woman is completely legal, achievable and something society would expect from a grown man (unless he's gay then..ya know!).

    If you're a pedophile, you're attracted to kids. You're going to want something to scratch that itch, even if it's a picture - which of course is not OK.

    I think it's very naive to suggest that pedophile's can live and function with a few impure thoughts and not act on it at all, in any way.

    You're suggesting punihsing someone for something they are, regardless.

    Ok, rephrase question: how do you know unless the get cuaght committing the offense?

    How do you convict and sentence someone to death for beign a pedophile, without ever cathcing them committing an offense?

    The whole idea of the death penalty simply for someone being something, wihtout any evidence that they've committed an offense is one of the most dangerous ideas expressed on this thread.

    Alot of them are using 3G CGI and couldn't bare the thought of harming a kid. many peadophiles are very conflicted in their attraction, and feel horrible simply thinking about kids, they do not want to actually harm a kid
    You'd still be punishing someone, for something they cannot help. For thoughts not actions

    How do you know every peadophile touches a kid or watches child porn(real, not cartoons)?

    __
    And on my analogy, is it not?
    How so?
    It's a game about being a criminal, and one could say people like that because they want to do it in real life, but won't because it's against the law/dangerous etc

    well allow them you will, their going to go somewhere, keep an eye on your kids instead of expecting everyone else to do so and then maybe you should have any problems

    Sometimes the law is wrong....

    Certain pedophiles use the same excuse.

    While the law may be (and probably is in this case) wrong, your argument falls because of the assumption that any alternative (specifically vigilanteism - or the death peanlty, to bring this back on topic) is therefore, automatically right.

    Doesn't have to but it has happened in the USA. These prisons need to be full for them to make a profit, so people are near forced back into them.

    And longer sentencing does nothing to help crime. At all. If anything it makes crime worse.

    Can anyone here from the human rights brigade give me one good reason why this child rapist animal in athlone should not be put down ?

    Every his own girlfriend said he should be put in a gas chamber.

    http://www.thesun.ie/irishsol/homepage/news/5487081/Put-him-in-the-gas-chamber-Fury-of-caged-child-rape-beasts-ex-girlfriend.html

    THE monster who raped two girls aged six and nine should be killed with poison gas, an ex-girlfriend of his says.

    She told the Irish Sun: “There should be a death penalty for this — two little kids’ lives ruined.” The evil dad of two was given two life terms on Monday over the sickening attacks in Athlone last year.
    Speaking from her west of Ireland home, his former partner said: “It is a shocking crime. They should bring in the gas chamber for things like that. I never thought he was capable of anything like that.
    “Prison is too good for him.”

    No, they shouldn't be allowed to roam, I all for ankle wireless braceletts/shared-watched 'home'. Where they can still have a job but where/when they are is monitored.

    don't know if that would potentially be more or less cost affective than prison, but death isn't the way to go either.

    Maybe in time we'll learn enough about the brain to place a chip that zaps them if they think about/do something.

    Basically, punishments need to change, but forwards, not backwards.

    Would you not agree that animal in athlone should never be let back into the community ?


    I think people like your self are far too soft on these animals. In my opinion once someone rapes a child they should get the death penalty end of story.

    The problem is that the sex beast in athlone will probably not serve anymore than 15 years in prison. Then he will be free to do the same thing all over again. If we had the death penalty it would stop these beasts from ever harming another child.

    Its only when you let the PC brigade defend these animals that it costs more money.

    That scumbag in athlone should be put into the general prison population. He would be dead within a week and it wouldn't cost the tax payer a penny, problem solved.

    bull****, those carrying out the execution will get payed a lot also, anyway so what, these "animals" are entitled to be deffended, things can go wrong during the trial and evidence can come up later proving their innocence, so get over it.
    the PC brigade
    doesn't exist, its only a mythical organization people believe exists so they can rant at something because they can't get their way or because they can't spout bull**** unchallenged, now seriously, give up and go away, the death penalty isn't coming back, end of.
