Should violent criminals be castrated?

[Nobody]

Pedophiles and rapists should be executed in an expedited hearing that gives them no longer than one week of reprieve for appeal of their sentence.

That is a statement made from complete and utter ignorance.

I have had the occasion to know a number of convicted sex offenders. By and large, they are average people who have made some bad choices and done some bad things. THIS DOES NOT MAKE THEM BAD PEOPLE.

Look at you!
I notice you didn't say those sex offenders you're praising were wrongly convicted and were later exonerated.

Sex offenders! They made bad choices! They chose to offend innocent people sexually!
But...they're not bad people. Which would be the same as saying, they're good people.

Do you know any of their victims?

Sex offenders! They freely chose to use sex as a weapon of choice!

Yeah, you preach to me about my being ignorant because I have no patience nor respect for sex offenders! Meanwhile you defend ex-convicts who used sex as their weapon of choice!

Meanwhile, I'm sure you'd let one of those many convicted sex offenders that you know babysit your child.

Right?
Good people.
Bad choices.

You realize it's not all that uncommon for innocent people to be found guilty in court? Sometimes they are dead before they are given a "not-guilty" status. Even after decades of appeals it was still missed.

Of course I do. I'm well aware of the Innocence Project also. Which is interesting in that all the publicity that surrounds their activity denotes they thus far seem to focus on exonerating men who are wrongly convicted. I've noticed there are no women making the news owing their thanks for freedom to IP. But that's neither here nor there.

Per your observation, that's why those who are responsible for the wrongful conviction, after that particular type of convict (wrongly so) is executed, should be held accountable.
They should be tried, and if found guilty incarcerated in a labor camp for life without parole. So that they work and pay a civil judgement no matter how small the rate of income, to the victims of their wrong doing.
No matter who those who are guilty of contributing to an innocent persons death are. Judges, DA, defense attorney, cop(s), even lying witnesses.

Justice is blind, so they say. But when's the last time we saw a cop go to prison? Especially when the evidence was so overwhelming there's no way they could have been exonerated but somehow when a jury of 12 realized imprisoning one(or 3 as is the case in an old NY trial) guarantees they'll have to live with those convicted cops blue buddies who can find out their names, on the streets for the rest of their lives, it somehow never happens.

Then I did it right, bonus points if you can draw an inference as to how they relate to your own statement and why I chose such "foolish" questions.

Aw, now you're going to give a reason why you intended to look foolish on this subject?
How cute.
