Its amazing that these 3 women can be kept for 10 years in a built up neighbouhood only a short distance from where they all disappeared with no one noticing.

MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCES IN THESE TYPES OF HOSTAGE CASES, AND ANY OTHER RAPE FOR THAT MATTER.
Using BIG LETTERS just emphasises how much that post of yours makes no sense.

What do you mean? I think it makes enough sense, I'm no English major but I think I worded it right, no?

Wait, I think I figured out what you're talking about:
I see I accidentally used the word hostage instead of captive.

Noted.

Sorry, for personal reasons, I take these types of cases personally. And as a result, I sometimes type fast and use the wrong word.

It is simple enough, mandatory sentencing often makes no sense, in this case you managed to be also calling for the death penalty to include for example something like 2 17year olds in Tennessee or Florida choosing to get it on together.

Understood, but in most matters it is better to put emotions to the back when looking at such hot issues. It's not always easy, indeed it's not always possible, but it is always neccesary.

When ever I hear of cases like this, I think "what about long term kidnappings don't we know about?"

There was a time when I would not have believed that someone could keep a captive for 10 years....... then I turned on the news.

Very scary.

A sad and depressing occurrence. It's very strange that 3 people could be held against their will for so long; and in an urban area, too.

Nobody will ever be able to restore all the years these women have missed out on.
