Maybe we just have a different take on pedophiles here in the US. As to your thoughts on this thread not belonging on a shaving forum, well this is the "Conversation" forum where most topics can be discussed and debated.

My original point was made about taking the law in to your own hands - we all have opinions about what should be dished out to lawbreakers but my belief is that the hanging tree is not the answer. I thought the US had moved on from this 19th century mentality but some of the posts on this thread make me wonder.

If I'm not mistaken, hanging as well as firing squad are still considered legal methods of execution in several states.

Hanging I do not think so,Firing squad, yes,Utah.Great read by the way about Gary Gilmore,(shot thru the heart)
One of my best friends was killed by a single blow to the head,evulsed his vertibral artery,he was dead before he hit the ground.

Hanging is stil an option in New Hampshire if lethal injection cannot be given and in Washington, an inmate can request death by hanging over lethal injection.

Personally I would prefer the firing squad.

I just did a quick search and hanging is still an option in Washington and New Hampshire. In Washington, the condemned have the right to choose. In New Hampshire it is only used when lethal injection is not a viable option.

It's one thing to be made aware of a child molester's presence, such as the Sandusky case. I did not see a line to lynch him on the "hanging tree". Our court system has him, as it should.

It's another thing to hear your child scream and find her in the act of being assaulted. What do you think would have happened if that father had not won that fight? Would you be willing to bet the child's life, that the molester would have left either alive?

It was live or die for all three of them. Thank God the young father won.

If any message is sent here by the Grand Jury, it is not that vigilantes are alive in Texas; it is that Child Molesters should reconsider applying their trade in Texas.
