Does anyone else think that the punishment for Rapists is far too lenient? ?

I think rapists get off so easily and can sit in jail and have a good time, living their lives. They get a place to sleep, meals, play cards or exercise while their victims have to deal with the shame, regret, and pain for the remainder of their lives. 

Truthfully.... I think the punishment should be castration, not medically castrated, I mean cut it off, balls and all (that just made me laugh out loud when i wrote that) but keep them alive and stop dying from blood loss. 

 

I know if I don’t say this there would be tons of people tearing into me about what if they are accused but innocent? What I said above, this punishment should only be available if the person(s) have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt or are 100 percent sure of guilt

    Truth is... the reason the punishment for rapists isn't more harsh and the reason the death penalty is not more frequent is because, when you get down to it, the far greater majority of people cannot and will not do it by theirself, one on one.  To go through with it would be an act of mob rule and mob violence and not the acts of a just society but a cowardly one.

    I think the really violent rapists should be castrated.
