    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.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    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.

    Most sex crimes are not reported but burglaries are.

    Your man wasnt a criminal just a concerned citizen who didnt want those beasts in his area.

    Since when is burning down a house not a crime? regardless of who lived there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,006 ✭✭✭✭end of the road


    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

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Mr. Williams is a troll.

    Why bother feeding it and destroying actual discussion?

    once is once to many, i don't want ferrel vidulanti vermin in my community thanks
    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.

    We were never asked if supported capital punishment against child killers and serial child abusers.

    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.

    Also: how do you know someone is a pedophile if they never touch a child?

    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

    Apologies for not writing back sooner my laptop packed up over the christmas.

    I would rather have wheelie bin man living in my area than a sex beast.

    Wheelie bin man sounds like a civically minded individual who was trying to protect his community.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 188 ✭✭Mr Williams

    Sometimes the law is wrong. The law also released larry murphy into the community. In some cases people need to forgot the law and do whats right. Those of us with kids can not allow these sex beasts to live in our community.

    You seem more concerned about a dead sex beast than the people he abused.

    The world is a better place without this beast.
