Death is a punishment disproportionate to the crime of rape. See my answer here: link
I think killing is wrong, in any situation. Killing is always evil, it may be a necessary evil at times, but it still evil (impo). As far as punishment goes - any punishment really - I think we as humans are too focused on revenge. Two wrongs still don't make a right, and punishment for the sake of punishment is not justice. I do think it is important to protect society and individuals from people that would harm them. But I also think it is the responsibility of the criminal justice system to sort out people who are truly threats from the people who are not; it is their responsibility to provide therapeutic support to people who can recover and become law abiding citizens and to confine indefinitely people who prove to be a danger to others without legal supervision.
We all have choices, and we all have to face the consequences of our actions. Being a victim of abuse does not change this. I would not expect a child who was molested at five and who grew up to become a serial rapist to be excused from the crimes he committed against others merely because a similar crime was committed to him. At some point the cycle of violence has to end somewhere. It's not about punishment or blame, but creating a society that we can live in cooperatively. It's about making choices, suffering clear and consistent consequences, and having the opportunity for redemption. Or at least, that is the ideal any way.0 0 0 2when I was younger I always swore that if I got raped I would kill them, then it happened to me last October it was an ex boyfriend of mine. I didn't report it but I was so angry, I formulated a plan in my mind of how I was going to knock him out with chloroform then carve the word rapist into his head with a razor blade then salt the wound so it scars. only problem is where the hell do you get chloroform? I looked it up online they do not sell that stuff commercially. plus I would get charged with assault. so I just put an embarrassing picture of him on a web page. a bunch of people commented and made fun of him so I kind of felt better. plus a couple months later he apologized to me genuinely apparently he felt terrible about it he even started rubbing my hand and stuff so I forgave him. If it was anybody else besides him though I might be serving time as we speak.
0 1 0 0i think that we all know that this answer might be diff. after youve been through something like that
but no, I wouldnt, I would think of him as scum and I'm sure someone I told would kill him for me through anger but no, I really don't think people like that are worth it. I don't think they should get the death punishment either, that's an easy way out. I think cruel and unnatural punishment law should be abolished for rapists & I feel like they need to see what they did and actually understand/comprehend what their doing , these people aren't sane at all and I would just want them to be able to feel the pain I felt [ mentally]1 1 0 0Maybe,, but id still wanna see them dead by my own hands

If that happened to a friend of mine or my girlfriend I think my instinct would be to do just that.
I've never been in that situation so one will never know.
I do know that I would be there to protect her even if it meant sleeping in my car outside of her place.0 0 0 0Yes, I would kill them for being an individual that would do that. However, I would torture them before hand. An eye for eye, only I'd use a red hot tire iron.

3 10Nah I'd tell the police, and they would then get raped in jail.
2 0 0 1I would never kill them.
...Only hold them hostage, strip them naked tie them down, insert a small tube/straw into their penis and pour hot sauce, red ants, and anything that would cause them pain into it. :D
...Or just use chemical castration on them. :D1 0 0 1Remind me to never rape you!!!! lol Sounds 10x worse then death.
I don't tolerate rape at all, but I think it would be wrong to kill anyone. Regardless of the reason. Unless of course, your own life was at risk.
0 1 0 1its absolutely right and shud be legal...
i mean the typical type (guy rapes a girl), ot at least the gov should giv her guardian the right to shoot him under police observance that'd give them a big relief1 0 0 0I'd die before letting someone rape me, so no I wouldn't kill them as I'd be dead. But I would haunt the sh*t out of them.
1 2 0 0I'd kill them.
0 0 0 0I don't agree with the government killing them for it, but I would kill them for sure, but not before raping them first. I'm very vindictive.
1 2 0 0Lmao "not before raping them first"
If someone succeeded in raping me and I could kill them w/o having to pay any consequences for it?
Absolutely, hell yes. Slowly and painfully with as much horror and drama as I could work into it.
If I have to take my chances with the criminal justice system? Maybe.1 0 0 0no, I would not kill them. murder is a worse crime than rape. doing so, you're actually worse than the person who raped you. if you really want 'revenge', I'd press charges. you get some compensation for your suffering and can also make the rapist in debt, and WORSE imprisoned.
2 1 0 1And plus.. you could go to jail when you murder someone, simple as that :P
I didn't do it, but I think it should be legal and even sanctioned
0 0 0 0No how ironic would it be if I failed at killing him and we shared a jail cell? I would also die before Id let someone rape me.
1 1 0 0i wouldn't kill the person ...yes the person should be punished.
0 0 0 0Yeah, it's not a hard question. Killing is easy. As I have a very evil side. You wouldn't know either as I rarely let it out to play.
I would also kill if someone I cared about was raped.1 0 1 0
