only right answer.
She’s right 🤷🏽♀️ it stops them from becoming repeat offenders
Heh, asked and answered 😎
Omg sisters ❤️
I agree with her.
Terrible take, woof.
She ate
You go Christina!
Can’t say I disagree, most get away with it and face no repercussions at all, meanwhile for survivors our trauma is lifelong. I was 4.
If our justice system was accurate at identifying offenders, yeah sure.
But as it stands about 15-20% of the people on death row are innocent. So…I can’t ever be pro death penalty.
She’s right
Still feels like they’re getting away with it
Sadly, many Republicans and MAGAs agree, except they define “child rapist” as “anyone queer, brown, or left of myself”, which is the inherent problem with capital punishment. It is a tool that should not be wielded by *anyone*.
Edit: every rule, every law, every tool of governance must always be evaluated for its capacity to oppress. Capital punishment, the ability for your government to kill you, is a tool begging for the wrong person to abuse it.
And she is absolutely right.
My father, Christina Ricci, and I have so much in common (that, and growing up in NJ) 😍.
Based as always.
She was open about calling out Johnny Depp despite having worked with him.
Right answer ☝🏻
I agree with the sentiment but you cannot justify the death penalty in a justice system that is corrupt and incompetent
The death penalty is abhorrent even if its against child rapists. Jail for life is the only moral answer.
You go Wednesday
What would the law look like if women had been involved in writing them since the beginning?
She’s had this shit ready for a minute.
Disagree, this would incentivize pedos to kill their victims.
Why is everyone suddenly pro death sentence when it’s about kids?
Throw them in jail, that’s what prisons are for. I don’t trust the government with the power over life and death.
Anyone who is accused of Rape and found guilty should get life
Death Penalty feels like the easy way out here
I’m proudly against the death penalty. Yes, even for the people who did do this to me as a kid.
She came with that energy. Goddamn.
I wouldn’t cry over it, but I’m against the death penalty because I don’t think the justice system is competent or ethical enough to handle the responsibility. Just find a square state, pay everyone to leave, and turn it into a penal colony and drop all the lifers off. Rapists, pedophiles, murderers. Hell, put stalkers and domestic violence people there too because honestly I don’t think you can fix them. I know a guy who beat up his girlfriend, went to prison for 5 years, got out and showed up on her doorstep that day to harass her.
So life for all these antisocial crimes. We can fix the druggies and thieves and guys that get into bar fights.
Capital punishment is immoral.
When you deem a group of people, no matter how evil, as *homo sacer*, without rights, free to kill, then it inevitably becomes a tool for bad actors. Western societys obsession with murderous rhetoric towards people deemed pedophiles (and not the ones committing the statutory rape themselves) is a pot waiting to boil over, until anyone vulnerable becomes labeled a ‘pedophile’ free to lynch at the publics whim.
All this to say, I really don’t like this grandstanding attitude. I know Ricci has suffered some trauma as a child at the hands of lecherous adults, but its going to embolden the wrong people.
That mean little face next to the comment if such Wednesday
Adams vibes. Love her!
I think my sentiment is great idea on paper, not so great in execution (literally, in this case). It would be nice to just have a guarantee that we could rid the world of any child rapists when they get caught with no worry of them being released back in the world or anything. But there’s so many things that could go wrong. As mentioned, these people just killing their victims in fear of being caught and having nothing left to lose, the small percentage that may be innocent, justice system being corrupt enough to have these cases be long and drawn out anyway, on top of others, that I don’t think it could work as well as we’d want.
But if it could, oh boy, this would be an ideal scenario. I’d rather rid the world of monsters like this than having them sit in a cell and learn nothing.
100% agree
Conservatives will find this post super offensive. In this instance, I bet they dont believe in the death penalty
I can only speak for myself, but I am a csa survivor whose assaulter ending up slowly dying from cancer later in life. I was very conflicted when I first heard he got sick because I felt this was the exact karmic justice he deserved. Instead, it just made me feel like shit.
He had a terrible upbringing and did terrible things informed by that upbringing. When I wasn’t thinking about the absolute guilt of not wanting to tap dance on his grave, I was thinking about the emptiness of the situation. He had taken something from me I could never get back and I was now witnessing life take everything from him in return. It didn’t feel like peace to see him withered and barely lucid from the chemo, calling for his mother as she sat behind a telephone half a continent away. It just made me feel like the world was an unkind place. I know it’s cathartic to shout death to all rapists and I don’t blame anyone who does, I just don’t think it’s as binary as some make it out to be. I wish so much that it was because then I wouldn’t be spending years of my life trying to unravel what any of it meant. I don’t know. I just want to live in a kinder place.
I disagree. I think they should suffer for the rest of their lives.
