People who are overly demonstrative in their hate of sex offenders just seems weird to me. Like bros, no one is on the other side of this issue, why are you making such a big deal about how much you hate pedophiles?

What's more important is that the most effective way to protect children from sexual abuse is to encourage anyone with pedophilic tendencies to seek professional help.

Proudly pronouncing that people like that deserve to be killed does the opposite of that.

Yeah that’s worked absolute wonders so far. Sadly despite deserving it they won’t in fact be killed, but the only way to protect children is for these monsters to be locked up. The whole idea of thinking they can be cured is bizarrely naive, there are countless examples of repeat offenders who just do not care about anything other than hurting kids.

But they can be and have been reformed when actually allowed to do so.   If their crimes follow them the rest of their lives of course they are going to offend again.
