Capital Punishment

I was reading yesterday's newspaper and one of the "small" time news was about some village where the punishment for a rapist was to be beaten with shoes and apologize to the victim and their family.

This is not the first time, the whole concept of rape is being underplayed in our country. There were and are scores of such cases where the issue is not even considered an act of wrong-doing, leave alone a sin. I wonder, if cruel treatment and hard core harsh punishments to the guilty would make a difference in our society. And increasingly, I feel this is the only way to go in order to put an end to the hardships that women face.

Capital punishment is the ONLY way to go. It should not be something as simple as putting the guilty individual to a permanent rest. The way to his death should not be any less painful than what he had inflicted on a woman. For example, stripping the guilty naked, smearing honey on him and lettin big red ants to kill him in a slow and painful way wood be a good punishment. Every scream and shout, plead for mercy should be shown LIVE in all the leading channels and everyone should watch and read about the punishment.

Instilling FEAR is the best way to curb such criminal activities. Human rights have no room here. In fact, it is for the very protection of such human rights, that we will have to have these punishments.

If someone feels that the punishment is quite harsh, the choice is theirs. You don't rape, you don't face the axe.

A sudden death like this is not a deterrent.
For scum like this , you need a longer and more painful form of torture.
He should live and he should live knowing that everyone is looking at him , talking in front/behind his back , mocking him , making fun of him.
He should be made a social outcast and subjected to the worse form of humiliation possible.
It should be branded deep into his forhead that he is a rapist so that everyone knows about it and avoids him like a plague.
Even he will see it daily and yet even the best of plastic surgery should not be able to remove it.

He should be subjected to brutal form of punishment every so often at frequent interval at a public venue : like public lashing at a town square while everyone abuses , taunts and generally throws shit on him.


Ok , that might have sounded a bit barbaric ... but then his crime is indeed inhuman !

Now that my blood presure is back to normal after writing that , let me get back to work !

Wow..!! The meat is back. Keep it coming. I like to see more of real Srini's rage reflect in his blog.

btw, with respect to the punishment aspect of it, looks like you have watched the movie "anniyan" too much. It should be an eye for an eye. Not a head for a toe.
