Death penalty for child rapist?

Link via Washington Post. Because Louisiana wants a review of the eight amendment.

There have been interpretations of society's "evolving standards of decency" to remove juvenile and mentally retarded killers from death row. In 1977 the court also concluded that a state could not execute a man who raped an adult woman. But on Wednesday the court will consider whether a person who rapes a child is different.

The state's Supreme Court held that children require special protection from society and that the "the degradation and devastation of child rape, and the permeation of harm resulting to victims of rape in this age category" justify the death penalty.

Read the whole article because it's interesting and I can't really articulate about the law. What do I know anyhow? I'm not American. I do wanna say something about the death penalty.

Here where I'm from, if you rape a child, I believe you deserve to die. Well, no matter where your from. No questions ask. I will [not] agree with death penalty. I'm half and half actually. But I'm pretty sure that raping a child is like killing a child. No mercy. One has to pay for committing a brutal crime.. If death penalty is the answer, then so be it. But if you let that animal rapist rot in jail and slowly watch him deteriorate forever is like killing him slowly. Death penalty all thesame.

Redux

My left arm is sore and I'm pissed. For the second day in a row, I lost my keys. The other day, I couldn't find my damn key chain. I have my house keys and of course the one for the locker and fuck, I must've have dropped them and sure enough, I went back inside the room and noticed it on to the table and I was damn relieved. Yesterday, same thing happened. I didn't even noticed keys were missing until I had to to go home. I'm racking up my brain as to where I might've dropped them or misplaced but I couldn't think and so I didn't stay long enough to search. I'm too damn irritated.
