WASHINGTON (AFP) - The idea of executing child rapists, even when there in no loss of life, is making headway in the United States.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
 
Good, more opportunities for wrongful execution. Let's see them start executing police officers, prosecutors, jurors and judges involved in wrongful executions. Let's extend that to governors who failed to give stays of execution.

Ye they catch him in this undercover house, the undercover girl behind the door tells him to take of all his clothes and wait for her, then this reporter walks into the kitchen and catches him, he just sits there naked crying about how wrong it is and its his first time warararaar they let him go.

Then with the same nic of a chatroom he picks up the dummy and falls for the trap again!!!! Lol that was to funny even the reporter didnt know what to say when he saw it was really the guy he saw yesterday!!

Also another scary one, a guy brings another child with him to "meet" another kid.... wierd.

If this is introduced in SA the size of the goeverment will be much more streamlined. :p

Death for China's pharmacy chief
Dan Martin
Wed, 30 May 2007
China sentenced the former head of its food and drug watchdog to death on Tuesday on corruption charges for accepting bribes in return for granting approvals for hundreds of medicines.

The sentence by a Beijing court comes as China scrambles to assert control over its chaotic food and pharmaceutical industries following a series of public health scares from Chinese-made products.

Zheng Xiaoyu (62) looked haggard and despondent as a pair of court security officers clapped a pair of handcuffs on him following the verdict announcement in footage aired by state television.

The former director of China's State Food and Drug Administration accepted 6.5-million yuan ($850 000) in bribes, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted the court as saying.

"(Zheng's acts) greatly undermined the uprightness of an official post and the efficiency of China's drug monitoring and supervision, endangered public life and health and had a very negative social impact," the court said, according to state media.

Among the consequences of Zheng's actions, the court said six bogus drugs received approval by his agency.

One Chinese firm is alleged to have bribed Zheng to grant approvals for 277 medicines, most of them high-profit antibiotics, according to previous state media reports.

Questions about quality control

China's consumer product quality-control systems have been called into serious question recently due to incidents ranging from fake drugs to chemical-tainted food.

Zheng's downfall is a key step in reining in the country's chaotic pharmaceutical industry, said Chen Zhonglin, a law professor at Southwest University of Political Science and Law in Chengdu.

"For many years, surging medicine prices and a market awash with fake drugs have been linked to Zheng's unlawful and disorderly time in office," he said.

"Many drug prices are now 100 times higher than production costs and many people can't afford them. Addressing this is vital."

It was not immediately known whether Zheng planned to appeal the sentence, but law experts said it was unlikely to change.

The stiff sentence could be a sign of official determination to head off growing concern, both domestic and international, over continuing health and safety fears.

China this month announced it would dramatically tighten its nationwide quality control systems following the poisoning of thousands of animals in the United States from pet food additives made in China, and other cases.

In the latest step, the China Daily newspaper on Tuesday quoted a top official with the country's quality control watchdog as saying a new food product recall regulation would be completed by year-end.

A show of fighting corruption

It would target goods deemed to pose a health risk and apply to foreign and domestic companies, said Wu Jianping, a director-general with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

China's Communist Party leaders typically make a show of fighting corruption ahead of the five-yearly party congress, the next of which is set for later this year.

Official corruption has become a serious problem as China has opened its economy, and the government has launched several high-profile crackdowns over the years.

Zheng's former secretary Cao Wenzhuang, who is accused of accepting bribes totalling two-million yuan, faced trial along with Zheng, state media had said earlier.

Earlier reports also said 31 other people were implicated in the scandal, including Zheng's wife Liu Naixue, his son Zheng Hairong, and officials at several drug companies.

read http://www.digg.com/offbeat_news/Proposals_to_Execute_Pedophiles_Making_Headway_in_US for some good comments on the same story...

...but let me put it this way - would you completely trust our justice system with people's lives? Especially in cases such as these were people really don't want to be seen to be siding with the offender?

Don't get me wrong - these crimes are horrible ... but I prefer the idea of rehabilitation (were possible) or at least the possibility to allow someone to appeal an incorrect ruling than giving the government the right to kill people

Pity they can only be executed once. :mad:What does all that have to do with executing pedophiles? :confused:

Sorry - nothing about pedophiles but a lot about execution. ;)

I just think that more extreme measures are needed to address social disorders - pedophiles, corruption, murder. If countries such as USA and China recognise this when will SA also realise that severe penalties will discourage serious crime.
