No need for all that.... A ironically 'humane' injection will do.
(The irony would be that that humanity would then be wasted on those bereft of it.)And thats a very confident assertion, your second point.
And how you can make it, is beyond me, given that you've just indicated that you had an understanding of where the public outrage comes from.
Worse than blanket policies, are groups that advocate peodophila, IMO.
I fully disagree. Understanding where something comes from does in no way justify it. Yes, I understand where Hitler was coming from, yes, I might understand why he killed millions of people and started a huge ass war, but, it does in no way justify it.
Groups that advocate pedophilia, imo, are much less bad than groups that advocate the public torture of child molesters.

I feel your points, I really do. But if an adult man were to ever touch my adolescent daughter, he will probably die by my hand or be near death once the authorities find him.Didn't say it was rational or humane, but it's true. I don't see myself giving a **** about the justice system at that very moment. If I somehow came across the guy then it's curtains for him.
I also understand that point. And I feel with anyone that has to go through it, but it truely doesn't matter. The law is not there to justify the blind vengeance of the victims. And it shouldn't. Yes, if my girlfriend was raped I'd be outraged, if I caught someone doing it I might kill them, I totally dig the Punisher. But when trying to analyze something objectively, that can't and doesn't matter. I'd not behave reasonable in that moment, and, in the long run, I'd probably be happy that there were people that did keep their cool and would have stopped me and lead the offender to true justice, not bloodthirsty revenge.
