seppuku involves a ritualistic suicide via the three deep cuts to the chest and stomach area. (Possibly a fourth, decapitation by a friend)

and this is funny...? hummmmm
interesting perspective

Good.

Yeah, we do judge other humans to protect the innocent. It was his choice to off himself. Maybe he saved a child by doing it. Most of them repeat the offense and worse once they have a taste of prison. I have absolutely no sympathy for people who hurt children.

I think we should judge actions and words and not people because we know noone completely enough to do so. I think labels are tossed around too easily and people should not be judged upon the label someone else gave them but on what they have done or not done.... but thats just my opinion

His actions were molesting children. How is that a label?

Remember him at your next weenie roast. And Freddy Kruger is a fictional character. be seeing you

It is not a label. They do the crime and pay the price. The victim is the person you should have sympathy for because in the long run they must live with and recover from the crime.

Nobody has sympathy for criminals who prey on children. They are the lowest form of human debris.

Wow, there sure are some ugly thinking folks in this world.

I would be ashamed to say that that is what anybody deserves.

I am a victim of child molestation and still would not let ugly things like that cross my mind about my perpetrator.

I am a victim of child molestation as well. What the man did to me did cause me alot of pain and problems, BUT hating him won't make that go away. Wishing him harm (even though the man died a few years ago) will not allieviate the pain. In order for the children that he molested to get on with our lives, we had to work hard to heal. I will never forget what he did nor can I forgive him, but i am trying to move on from it. I refuse to let him control my life 20 years later.

Without the details molestor and sexual offender are just labels. People can be accused and found guilty but still not have done what they are found guilty of. I think we just put too much focus on the labels of others instead of seeing each other as humans. If this man molested children, he needed to be kept away from children but he was still someones loved one himself so I do have empathy for their loss.

While I have no grace to let anyone out of jail that is proved to be a child molester/abuser I have seen how easy it is for a person to decide that just because a child has been manipulated to say they were abused that another person's life can be ruined.

Children know the power of certain accusations and they do sometimes lie. More often a parent or grandparent is the one encourageing them to lie and what to say but kidding yourself that no child is able of knowing enough to be convincing is ridiculous.

With so many people being victims with out voice I have to wonder how just gathering the facts always is.

It doesn't make sense to me that that someone would burn themself up in a van, not saying it didn't happen, but what makes more sense is some one doused the van, threw in the person who died , and lit a match. I find it interesting that the Fire Department let it burn itself out.

Said it before you don't always know who the criminals are. Not like there are not cops that rape and molest.

monsters like that deserve to die painfully

I suppose all the people that children said were witches during the salem witch trials deserved to die too.

It seems that lately child molestation = salem witch trials.

I just wish more investigation was done on an accusation before ruining a persons life. Even if it comes out later that the accusation was a lie, the persons life is over.

I do feel that those guilty of the crime deserve punishment though i wouldnt go so far as to say they should die.

I'm glad you do, cause I do not. BTW, he killed HIMSELF, so he did everyone a favor.

You can feel all the empathy in the world for these people, but you really need to reread your post. I feel as though you feel more for the guilty party, than for the victim. And that to me is cruel.

I would even be ok if at the trial of one of these sickos the victims father or mother killed the scumbag......I would find the parent(s) innocent of all charges against them if I were on the jury.

Hell worse people get off by reason of insanity so why not. I honestly do not think I could convict a parent that killed a disgusting pig that has hurt a child, especially knowing he was in prison before only to get out and do it again.

By the way bored, you pic freaks the heck outa me.

Well then this should make you feel good then..I would think there is a fair amount of pain in burning to death.

Maybe it's just me... I find no comfort in knowing this man set himself on fire. No enjoyment, no pleasure at all.
I find it very sad...and disturbing.

Being a survivor there are times when I have found myself wanting to do henious things to my abusers but what is really hard is the people who just can't get past what happen and won't believe that I can go on and have a normal life and a loving relationships. The whole "scared for life" crap is a lot worse than the abuse. Most time I feel if I get all eye for and eye then I am getting down to where the monster lives. I don't even like to call them animals because animals don't act that way. They maim and kill to survive not to get even.

I am also a survivor...and I'm blown away by how easy so many are saying this is a good thing..so much hatred. I'm thinking..if I can forgive why can't others. Do we really want to go to the place that the abuser is? Do we really want to wish bad for others and find this sort of story pleasing? Your point is taken and understood.
