The whole of Australia wants to PUBLICLY hang the murderer and rapist of young Jillian. How do you feel about this?

People want to see with their own eyes. They want to see this guy get hanged. Do you think thats..., civilized, or humane? Honestly, I think he needs the death penalty. But publicly? What do you think this means, for civilized people in Western Society?

    Early - after 16 rapes? I'm sorry, that's a joke. And you know i'm not a 'get tougher on crime' kind of person, but that's a joke.

    Well, you're wrong there. I'm an Australian and no-one in my family or friends believe in capital punishment - so it isn't 'the whole of Australia'.
    But then there are a lot of Australians who 'just knew' Lindy Chamberlain was guilty. Idiots.

    Lindy Chamberlain was a horrible case. I can't believe she was actually put into jail :. This man has been proven guilty, though his not innocent

    Hanging a murder/rapist (I'm assuming since you said young it was a child) isn't civilized or humane. It's actually heading up the ally of what he did, only not even close.

    Something like that isn't about humanity or being civilized, it's part revenge, part dealing out a fitting punishment for a horrific crime. In Canada that's life (which I think is disgraceful), but it's a decision for a society to make, to step away from their general beliefs to deal with something like that.

    In Canada, a "life sentence" doesn't actually mean you get sent to prison for life.

    I don't mind. Sounds like it would be better to get rid of the scum based on what you are saying. As it is, we haven't been civilised in a long time in my opinion. That's just a term to ease our consciences.

    That's completely inhumane and degrading. Yes, I understand that it will make people wary of what to do next. But it's a bit too far.

    Hanging IS the death penalty. But publicly and for children to watch, I disagree. It's disgusting.

    Australia is civilized in their own right (every country and culture is). So you can't really distinguish civility truly. Not all agree, I'm sure.

    Besides, America used to hang people publicly. They were called "lynchings". And for nothing at all: a different skin color.
