Court rejects death penalty for raping children

Here is part of  a story that I grabbed from MSNBC:

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Wednesday outlawed executions of people convicted of raping a child.

In a 5-4 vote, the court said the Louisiana law allowing the death penalty to be imposed in such cases violates the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

"The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in his majority opinion. His four liberal colleagues joined him, while the four more conservative justices dissented.

Since we cant kill them then when someone is convicted of raping a child then the parents or guardians of that child should be allowed to cane, beat, batter and bludgeon the convicted rapist.  That is my two cents.... we have got to make them think twice about doing it again if we let them live.
