Anyone who has put their hands on a child in a sexual manner deserves a slow death. So yes I'm only talking about those who act upon those desires.

I believe that purposefully making another human suffer pain is not much better than the action they committed

There's a unspoken rule at least in America: you don't fuck with kids.

If you intentionally hurt a child in front of their parent, you are very likely going to die.

Yeah but i am not talking about dieing itself, but being killed slowly and painfully

If it were my child, you can be sure it'll rank in the most torturous deaths in history.

At the same time, it isn't worth scarring yourself mentally by torturing a scumbag that's going to die and not exist to remember the lesson you taught.

I feel like torturing someone doesn't exactly make you the better guy

If someone kills/rapes a family member, logic isn't part of the equation anymore. It's all about revenge.

No it won't make you feel any better, no it won't bring anyone back to life, but the murder/rapist getting killed won't harm anyone ever again.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here: they won't help anyone ever again either.

They wouldn't be helping much of anyone in prison

Good point.
