    A father has been arrested for raping his six-month-old son and infecting him with HIV.

    Police say that Lenny Love, 29, from Silverton, Ohio, knew he had the virus when he raped his son in March.

    He was arrested on Friday and charged with two counts of rape, one count of felonious assault and one count of possession of marijuana.

    Police say he admitted the assault to them.

    He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center while he awaits trial.

    Police in Clarksville are currently hunting for a 28-year-old man who also knowingly infected a woman he met online with HIV.
    Joseph Daundrey Thomas confessed to the woman the following day after sleeping with her in May and told her he had done it before and once spent three years in prison for the crime.

      I'll do one lots better.  A 16 year old girl and 17 year old boy stopped at a convenience store for a coke.  When the boy ges back to the car, a strange man is in the back seat with a gun.  He orders the boy to drive to a secluded area where he ties the boy to a tree and rapes him.  When the girl freaks out, he shoots them both and leaves them for dead in the woods like animals.

      This was someone's son, someone's daughter.  They were children with their lives ahead of them. 

      Tell me why as a taxpayer I should support this person for the rest of his life while he lives out the rest of it in jail.

            So I hear, Shogan, but I think inmates should be put to work doing something to make money for the government instead of take it from the government.   And Cags, I'm in 100% agreement with you on this. (Alert the media, did I just say that!)

            The particular lowest form of human life in question was executed by the state of Arkansas for another murder there.  It only took 14 years from the time of the murders to the execution.  I would rather have my money used for those 14 years knowing that he was going to pay for those crimes than pay for him to live out his life for the some 30-40 years he had remaining.

            We're not talking about people with consciences here.  They won't sit and reflect on what they've done while they're in jail and see the error of their ways.  They're like the child who gets put in time-out who can't wait to get up and do it again.

              DIY, I'm against the death penalty...I won't make a secret of it.  I have no problem whatsoever, however, with the idea of inmates put to work.  If they can pay back what they cost the government, I think that makes sense.  I don't think that there's any paying back for their crimes, though.  Ideas like qwark's (good to see you again, qwark!) just leave us as heinous as they were.

                Hi Shogan:

                Give me a time in our barbarous history when man hasn't been a "heinous" creature. You can't.

                It is much to late to try to make amends now.

                We've dug our hole and are preparing to try it out for size.

                In all other facets of "life," the weak don't survive.

                I'm not saying that our less fortunate, those that serendipitously were dealt an unfortunate hand and who are innocent and deserving of experienceing life should be destroyed. I'm saying that those who have been proven to be of no value to humanity because of their violent ways, should be dealt with permanently and with due haste.

                    The most important gain is that we no longer have to care for the valueless which have become a drain on an already overstressed society.

                    I am an imperfect human and I would seek revenge upon the murderer of a family member! The revenge I'd like, would be to allow my genetic barbarism to wreak havoc upon the body of one who took the innocent life of my loved one. I'd do it with no compunction experienced!

                    There is nothing to be gained by nurturing a sociopathic murderer for 20-30 yrs until he dies a natural death, unless it is that we wasted money, time and compassion on one who did not deserve it, to placate the religious majority!

                    To me, that would be a crime!

            Correct Cags!

            It doesn't cost much to lay someone on a table and administer a couple deadly shots.

            What costs is the "appeal" process during which the condemned is fed, entertained, housed and bedded for 15-20 years at a cost of about 80 grand a year just for room and board at out of taxpayers pockets!

            I'm for Spanish dictator, Generalisimo Francos method i.e. if the defendant is convicted of a capital murder his execution is ordered for the next morning at sunrise.

            In the case of DIYweddinglanners instance, once the perp is caught, convicted and condemned to death, the SOB should die in the same manner the kids did: tied to a tree and a gay 300 lb man have his pleasure with him and then pop a couple'a "caps" in 'im and leave him to die hangin' on a tree!

              Nice to see we agree on something Qwark. tongue
              Actually, the pharma companies charge outrageous amounts for the drugs that are used during an execution, which is part of the argument that it is too expensive to execute vs housing them for their lifetime.

              Example: one drug alone is $20,000 and that's just one dose.
              Agree again, the appeal process and the Judicial system is fraught with many errors and should be corrected, but that's truly another story aside from the main application of the sentence.
              That would barbaric. However, I get the point. But, a more effective and efficient manner of the appeals process should be put into place, so things work better. lol

            "The death penalty is much more expensive than life without parole because the Constitution requires a long and complex judicial process for capital cases. This process is needed in order to ensure that innocent men and woman are not executed for crimes they did not commit, and even with these protections the risk of executing an innocent person can not be completely eliminated."

            http://www.deathpenalty.org/article.php?id=42

            Moreover, many studies have shown that fear of the death penalty is not a deterrent to so-called capital crimes.

            Also, the use of DNA evidence has shown that many innocent individuals have been sentenced to death, and some have been executed.

            What civilized countries have abolished the death penalty? :

            137 countries have abolished the death penalty.

              This argument is moot, depending on the basis of my hub. So an innocent person wouldn't ever be executed.
              Ralph, of course you are going to have plenty of studies that show that, only because it isn't applied properly. Otherwise, your argument again fails.
              Which only shows the process is screwed up, nothing more. But, nice try.

    What he kept missing was that "drastic" applies to the initial crime.  When people choose to commit a crime, they must be prepared to give up their most basic human right, freedom.  And sometimes another basic human right, life.

        I agree, and care should be used.  The case in question was very cut and dry.  He got caught running and shot and killed the officer who pulled him.  This proved to be a blessing in disguise, because it was an automatic death penalty case after that.

          On a case by case basis is how it should be applied. Just one person killing another person, isn't good enough to warrant the application, even if that single person is a police officer.

        It is not too late, Cagisl can we use this system to enforce the death penalty upon the likes of George Bush?

        After all GW Bush and gang killed One million Iraqi, burn many villages to save the villages, wail operating on their soil, no Iraqi has killed an American on American soil. He also gave the death penalty to the Iraq President, why not give the death penalty to himself for killing many more people?. Even if we throw out the book of ethics, even the US eye for an eye justice REALLY SUCKS?

        Authority has killed more people than the criminal have. No, I say America is a horrible example for justice in domestic affairs and foreign polices

        Put murder to work camps in prison for life with only onces of freedom for good deeds. Because you never convince me that  killing will ever stop killing, it only shows who the greater hypocrites are.

            About half of married men have a sex affair on the side; I guess you must have a sex scandal to actually commit high treason toward the American people, mmm, not much hypocrites there, mmmmm..

          "Because you never convince me that  killing will ever stop killing, it only shows who the greater hypocrites are."
          Hypocritical? Are you kidding?

          Man is just doing what comes naturally! He is a "natural born killer!"

          There is no hypocrisy there!

          Nations have created methods to commit genocide on the magnitude of billions with one tap of a finger on a computer keyboard.

          The destruction of a few mentally malformed human animals whose existence has been proved to be detrimental to innocent citizenry is of no consequence to anyone but them.

          And I say good riddance!

    Eye for an eye, I almost like it. In the OP, it seems the baby would have died, wouldn't that kill an infant? This is the guy that needs to die and ASAP.

    For one, we wouldn't be seeing those signs along the road anymore that say, "Beware of hitchhikers, prison nearby".

    The costs of these drugs are simply price gouging by the drug companies. It costs no where near that figure in countries that allow assisted suicide. These drugs are quite humane. The fat that the drug companies are allowed to rape the country in athe country's efforts to kill a rapist is a crok of crap.

    How exactly do you decide which inmates on death row should be allowed into the general population?  None of them have anything to lose. Even if their life is saved, they will spend the rest of it in prison.How do you justify the additional murders that will result from the mixing of these inmates?

    I believe each person who dies at the hand of the state should go in the same manner as their victims. Might not stop many from committing mayhem but it will allow for some entertaining reality shows. Everyone knows how popular those are in this country.

        Maybe we could help balance the budget by selling tickets and TV ads.

        I must think opposite, do you know, Bush was listed in the Guinness world book records as having the most death execution as Governor of Texas’s

        I must say, Bush knew how to make people laugh, if Bush was lock up for life, I would pay to see his comedy routine in prison work camps.  He has a wealth of one liner, like one of my all time favorite.

    Hello smile

    I find the crimes described truly despicable and distressing ~ and I think that, if anyone treated my loved-ones like that, I would probably want to go and kill them, myself.

    However, I would not want the death penalty to be re-instated in Britain. I am glad that it has gone. I consider it to be barbaric ~ and, by killing criminals, we would be bringing ourselves down to their level.

    I can understand people who disagree with me, but I have thought about this over the years and haven't yet changed my mind. Maybe I will be persuaded, one day. smile

      I agree

      If a person murdered my daughter, I would feel like killing that murderer myself, too. Yet, we cannot kill someone to prove to all of us, that killing is wrong.

      About 11% of the death penalty murder accused was innocent in the first place. The rate for capital punishment countries are at a rate much higher than countries without capital punish. If only goes to show you killing only increases killing, not reduces it.

        It's not about proving to other people that killing is wrong. It is about holding people accountable for their atrocities on society.
        Your statistics are useless in today's day and age, because 97% of statistics are made up on the fly.
        Of course they would be. DUH!
        Actually, the only reason increases have happened is because of the improper use of it to begin with.

          I would agree most statistics are made on the fly; many of my client want to know how much money they will make rather than to know how beautiful a sandcastle or a museum display would look.

          Imagine no statistic in a court room; every lawyer would be handcuff to the bench. Murderer, without a place, DNA, time or date, how much time they have killed statistic to pin them down, they would get OFF again and get to kill again.

      The prisoner was led down the hallway to a door.

      A priest was counting beads and reading in latin the last rites.

      The stopped and opened the door.

      The prisoner saw 2 electric chairs above each was a sign:

                     YOUR CHOICE
               REGULAR OR EXTRA CRISPY!

      The priest fainted.
