My radical views on crime and punishment
Hear me out. I realize that I have not had alot of exposure to crime in my life. I have had a somewhat sheltered existence. However, the more and more I hear about and see the many crimes that are committed across the country the more I question how fair our justice system really is. On tv you see criminals committing some of the most heinous crimes imaginable and they have the opportunity to gain their freedom again (sometimes disturbingly quickly). The more I think about these things, the more I realize that the only reasonable punishment for violent crimes in this country has to be the death penalty.

Seriously. We don't need these people. They hurt, kill, or otherwise hinder productive members of society. They need to be gotten rid of, and we need to get the message across to others that the risk you run for committing a serious crime is the forfeiture of your life. Some people would say that these criminals deserve a second chance to try and rehabilitate themselves. Honestly, and you have to know that this is true unless you are truly naive, people, in general, do not change. There are those rare occasions when someone is able to turn their life around, but that is the exception rather than the rule, and it often requires some extreme intervention for that change to take place.

I have taken into consideration the fact that some people are wrongly convicted of crimes, and my answer to that is that people should only be put to death when there is a sufficient amount of evidence (like a video, conclusive DNA evidence, or a series of corroborating witnesses, or even a confession). When, and only when, there is no doubt that this person has committed the crime, then they are automatically a candidate for execution.

Considering my extreme views on law enforcement I now realize that I could never be a cop because every criminal that I caught in the act would infuriate me so much that they would never make it from my police car to the jail. I suggest that we all exercise our right to own a gun and fight back against crime. Take to the streets and be your own hero. If you see a crime being committed, or if a crime is being committed against you, take it upon yourself to exact justice. When drug dealers and gang members start turning up dead on a massive scale, then I think that the point will get across that we will not take this shit any more.

Here are some of the worst offenses and the punishment they should carry:
Rape - execution
Armed robbery - execution
Aggravated assault - execution
Child molestation - torture, mutilation, then execution

We as a society could even create some more inventive punishments for crimes. The punishment for rape could be castration, especially after multiple offenses (though it would never come to that if we just killed all of our rapists). Multiple time offenders could be surgically blinded (damn I am sick, but criminals just piss me off).

In closing, justice is as much about giving retribution to the victim as it is about punishing the offender. The constitution says that the punishment must fit the crime. Rape scars a person for life. It robs people of their innocence and can carry psychological consequences for the rest of their lives. The Constitution also states that there is to be no cruel and unusual punishment. If you really look at those phrases, their meaning can change due to a person's point of view. "Cruel" and "unusual" are terms that are open to interpretation. From one point of view torture is cruel. From someone else's point of view it is not. We need to get ourselves into the mindset that crime will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
