Rope ! Cheap and quick !

There is a story in the bible that involved a woman facing death by stoning. Before the stoning began, Jesus said to the crowd, those without sin, cast the first stone. Many of you have assumed that Mr. Baskerville is guilty. That assumption is understandable, considering the mechanics of the media. What many people fail to realize is the media shows the public what it wants the public to see. Editors and story writers make sure that happens by using selective wording. They often fail to leave out details that would allow, the pubilc to view them as a person. Many of you feel that he should be executed, left in the room with "victim's" father, and other cruel things. These assumptions are being made based upon accusations. Mr. Baskerville has been accused of this crime, but he has not been convicted. Has the media provided any solid evidence against Mr. Baskerville? Have they told you about him as a person? Does Mr. Baskerville have children. If most of you know, many sex offenders are

just put him in a room with the father for a few minutes. That would save the tax payers some money. a million for a trial, $2000 for a funeral, I'd gladly pay the $2000 myself

what a sick *&$ !!!!!!!!Now what will the legal system do with him? Make him register as a sex offender and not be around children alone. Hang him!!!!! This world has some disturbed people in it, and until these people stop getting slapped on the wrist it will just get worse.

As a parent, I am with the person that wrote to execute if he is guilty. Better yet, put him in general population and see if he likes it. That child is scarred for life. Doesn't anybody care for the victim. We put so much energy into the criminal and not the victim. To the person the wrote about letting the relatives get to him. I AGREE. LET DADDY AND MOMMY in the room with him. All they need is 10 minutes.
