Man throws 5-year-old to alligators

    A man in Florida received the death penalty for throwing a 5-year-old girl into a swamp where she was mauled to death by alligators. According to another report, she was alive when the gators attacked.

    That's a pretty awful way to go, imo. I wonder if he thought that by throwing her in the swamp and letting the alligators kill her, he wouldn't be directly responsible for her death....

    Quatisha Maycock and her mother Shandelle Maycock were kidnapped November 1998 from their home by Braddy, who was angry at being rebuffed by the mother after meeting her at a church gathering.
    Every time you see a Discovery channel special about vicious criminals and childkillers, they're always upstanding members of the local church.

    What is it about Church that attracts all the sickos?

    I have thought the same too, it's amazing... I think they feel they are God's own children e.t.c.. total Gobsh!te
    She was only a child.... I am glad he got the death penalty!

    He'd need to be an idiot to believe that, condemnation and all that.

    Should be fed to those gators... piece by piece.

    truly a horrible story


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭Trojan911


    Randomly select a torture method from the running "Torture" post & put him through it....

    But I quite like the idea of chucking him in to the allegators, tied up & alive...

    Unfortunately, there are legal questions over whether the current lethal injection system qualifies as 'cruel and unusual', so I don't see much hope going for the alligator concept.

    The big question is how do you deal with people like this, killing them just raises the issue of how are you any better, leaving them alive just leaves others at risk, as lets face it, when **** like this makes sense in your head I really doubt you are EVER going to learn any better...

    We need a "No Escape" style island to deport such people to...

    To the post, I'm really opposed to the death penalty. But I can understand people wanting blood revenge for a crime like this.

    However I don't think its in our hands to decide on what should be gods judgement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭coolhandc


    was it gods judgement to have this 5 year old kid mauled to death by an alligator?!this sick fcuk needs to be tortured in the worst way possible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 960 ✭✭✭Triangle


    Mairt,
    That's a riduclous thing to say.

    So why send them to jail in the firts place then - why not let them roam round killing people and live on the pretext that god will sort everything out!!!!

    Lock them away for the protection of society and punish their crimes, but I don't believe its in our hands to take another life.

    He took the decision though to take a life though, a childs life....I'm sure she didnt have a choice in the matter! I'm still for tossing him in with alligators alive :mad:

    Sentence him to a nice quick death, but during transport he has to do community service or some bullsh1t excuse, at an alligator farm.

    Then at gun point he better clean them gators boi!

    And dont feed them for a while.

    Put him in prison for a while also, lots of nice showers with the other inmates, come on death is too good for this sh1te.

    Two wrongs make a right? Nope, I can't accept that in this context.

    I don't have any answers but I think you'd have to be a pretty sick fcuk yourself to advocate or participate in torture of someone, no matter what they had done.

    I honestly think the death penelty is too good for some people

    Put them on an island far removed from society doing back breaking physical labour with no mental stimulation at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭radiospan


    This is a sick story alright, but I thought most people in Ireland would be against the death penalty? Sure, this guy should be locked away for life, but posts here seem to be advocating some kind of state sponsored torture/murder punishments? The government executing innocent families? (Timmymaggot's post) Is that really what people want?

    Can't believe so many people here are advocating torture, and seem to have the idea of the sicker and more painful the torture, the better.

    i disagree completetly

    either life means life for serious crimes and one can opt for the death penalty if one has given up on an appeal

    or a simple mirror retrubution

    do it have it do to you

    If you abhor him taking life in such a cruel way, it's hypocritical to want to do (or want the state to do) the same to him.

    If somebody did that to your family, it's understandable to want extreme revenge but the state is supposed to impartially consider the crime, and not exact mob revenge on behalf of victims.

    I think keeping him away from society for life is the best course of action.

    its illegal at the mo and makes them criminal;s but they say a man is happy if his job is his hobby

    to advocate the torture of tihis man is not the same as to advocate the tortire of a human

    attack the post not the poster

    i don't assume the human race is perfect

    i think that accepting evil is encouraging it and it'll take courage to fix the world or at least try

    now kindly don't flame me again

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,111 ✭✭✭MooseJam


    I hate that sort of over-zealous, burn them at the stake attidude whenever some crime inolves a child. How is it any different if its an adult who was brutally murdered?

    kids are sweet and innocent, an adult is possibly a total bastard, plus adults have lived a lot longer so it's not so bad

    He called you arrogant. Hardly flaming now for somebody who thinks torture is acceptable.



    Adults are just kids that have grown up.

    oh its you again

    first off he called my post redicilious ie worth of ridicule surley another word for flaming

    then he called me arrogant

    thats flaming
    that crap flaming but flaming none the less

    and read the post he referd to

    i answered the hypothetical post with a possaible answer

    its rhetoric
    its disscussion


    in a true democracy if the majority want touture on the books then thats the way to go

    its about the flowing discussion of ideas and idealogoys this brillian cyber communication world we call the internet bud not about ramming antiquated ideas of right and wrong and justice down each others throats

    that Justice Paul Carney Fella the other day said some thing about the irish justice system being anout the execution of the law as the statutes hold them rather than justice.

    Am i likley to start a petition to put torture on the books

    hardly

    but i'm able to understand the gut feelings of those who feel something more than we have here in ireland is nessiciary

    I disagree, punishment and retribution are valid penalties for a crime. The ultimate crime (murder) warrants the ultimate penalty.

    That's an objection to a flawed justice system, not the death penalty. "innocent people could be sent to jail" isn't a valid objection to a jail sentence,

    Clearly you have never seen the film "No Escape", go watch it, then come back and make a counter point which at least is a disagreement/agreement, not an agreement claiming to be a disagreement.

    If you even took the time to look up the film's IMDB listing:
    Robbins is sent to prison for the assassination of his general officer, a prison you only get out of when you die. Since nobody ever gets out of the prison, nobody knows how the prison is like. The prison manager has realized this and bought himself an island (playground) called "Absolom" where the worst prisoners are let lose to create an isolated barbaric society where the strongest men rule - a living hell. This is where Robbins is dropped off after he almost kills the prison manager.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭cjt156


    @moosejam & timmymaggot
    Again, that's like saying give a murderer community service; if an innocent person is convicted then at least he won't have gone to prison. Your problem is with the trial system, not the sentence.

    So do you have no problem with a death sentence if someone is 100%, no doubt, self-confessed guilty?
