On a more serious note.

Awhile ago I stumbled upon a thread in a forum. Nothing special about that, since I'm doing that pretty much every day.

This thread however started by linking to this news site. It said that this one man in Northern California had killed an older man, and later he said he did it because this man had sexually abused him when he was young. Now it doesnt matter if it was true, or if he just made all that up as a lame atempt of an excuse for what he did. The guy (killer) got sentenced to 9 years in prison for the killing anyway.

Ofcourse, if his story is true then I think the man who got killed got what he deserved, if that.

Anyway, as in all forums things gets derailed and the subject goes from the original post to  discussing about pedophiles and sex offenders.

In my opinions those are the worst crimes anyone can commit, even worse than murder. But thats just me.

What surprised me though was that there is actually people out there who is defending pedophiles and child molesters.

What the hell....?

Saying stuff like "They are sick", "they cant help themselves", "They should get treatment" etc etc.

Really?

How would you feel as a parent if anything like this happen to your child? Would you be all understanding and saying "Aww well thats ok, he's sick and cant help himself"? The whole "beeing sick" to me is just an extremely lame excuse to get away with one of the worst crimes a person can comitt.

Because, even if it's true that they actually are sick, it's not like they dont know that what they are about to do is not only very very wrong, but also illegal. I mean, should a Kleptoman get away with bank robbing because they are sick? Should a psychopath get away with murder because they are sick?

Ofcourse they shouldnt. And if they are so sick that they really cant know the difference between what is right and wrong, I would believe they should get capital punishment anyway.

Treatment? Who is gonna pay for that? You gonna pay for that with tax money? Tax money that the victims families help paying?

"Not only did this guy rape your child, now you are going to help paying for his (so called) treatment"

Does that sound right to you?

I can only come up with one reason why anyone wanna openly defend childmolestors, and thats because they are one themselves.

When it comes to crimes like this, crimes against defenceless children, I really really wish we had death penalty in this country.
