Missing US women found after decade

[Otto Fuhrmann]

It was just on the news here in Ireland. It is really, really strange.

This case is quite something to think about. Incredible these three were not discovered for such a long time.

This is my home town....so glad they're alive, sad this stuff happens at all...


MANDATORY DEATH SENTENCES IN THESE TYPES OF HOSTAGE CASES, AND ANY OTHER RAPE FOR THAT MATTER.

Hard to believe 3 nut men could do or partake of this together, much less one. Be interesting to find out how she finally escaped after all these years. It's obvious she had to have a baby in captivity. I can't imagine the abuse these women suffered by these men. They all should be put to death.

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.

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?

[Gunsilnger]

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.

Okay, fine. Now please imagine yourself into kidnapper's boots now (yeah I know its hard). If there is automatic death sentence why would you spare your kidnapping/rape victim(s)'s life? Why not just slit that little girl's throath so she won't tell anyone?

I'm all for tough penalties but mandatory death sentence severely endangers victims' lives.

I think they'd just as likely slit her throat to escape the kidnapping charge. Hostages have been killed for a lot less.

That is ofcourse possible but not all rape cases include kidnapping (atleast not here in another side of pond) and victim is usually not killed. Why not I don't know for sure but I would guess that "only" raping having lesser consequences than rape & murder would have something to do with it.
