In America there have always been punishments for crimes so I guess fear has less to do with the death penalty and more to do with punishment in general. If criminals are not afraid for their crimes then I guess that means we just need to put them away faster.

Anyhow, I rather have seen pedophiles be caught and scared in another way then this. But it isn't the end of the world.[/b]
