CLEVELAND kidnapper Ariel Castro has been found hanging dead in his state prison cell.

Prison medical staff performed CPR, and Castro was transported to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centre. He was pronounced dead at 10:52pm.

Castro was sentenced to life in prison for holding three women - Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michele Knight - in Cleveland for more than a decade and repeatedly raping them.

'well' people can do evil evil things.

Donna, here is the question i asked :-

By simply saying that he was sick, do you think that absolves him from the evil deeds and excuses his behaviour?

To which you answered  No

i have said nothing that you your self have not said or implied.

Goodnight

how do we really know that though? Surely it isn't normal to be evil?

[poddster]

And they do ...... more often than not.

Az, What is termed normality is what is acceptable by society as a whole.

Society is being eroded in dribs and drabs by unacceptable behaviour being accepted bit at a time. Before we realise all types of behaviour which was not acceptable in the past is considered normal. I wont mind falling off my perch before it goes too far 🙂

What he did was terrible, but to wish the same upon him is the same kind of evil.

that, that is actually a very good point. Are we any better to want to cause him evil harm?

Differentiating between 'mad' and 'bad' is one of the problems in mental health. Not everyone who carries out an antisocial act act has a mental illness although someone with a mental illness may carry out an antisocial act as a consequence of their delusional state.

. he doesn't have to be a product of hell, just a weak self centred crim.  poddy, your idea of punishment (which i doubt you could carry out) is a bit over the top. its hard to get deader than dead, drawing and quartering a corpse has no effect on it.

Donna, it would have been justice and a deterrent to others.

Even the bible preaches "an eye for an eye....."

Question, what if it had been your daughter that he kidnapped and raped?

Would you still think my punishment towards him was harsh and evil?

Why are you bothering to use the bible??? It just makes you sound ignorant. THe only punishment for raping these girls according to the bible is he gets to marry them.

LL I would rather he was alive, in a cell where he was isolated from everything, to not see another human being again.... ever.

collectively he deprived 3 young girls of 30 years of any social interaction he repeatedly raped and tortured them and thought that was fair enough. He should have endured what he dished out.
