Please hear me out before judging my point of view. I will start by saying that what they are doing is completely and utterly wrong and they must be brought to justice.
My point is that although these people are causing so much negativity in this world with their actions we shouldn't be so quick to add to that negativity with our reactions. We do know what they are doing but we don't fully understand why they are doing it. It could be because they faced some of the same abuses as children themselves. It could be because they too grew up in a system trying to break them down and deceive them from the truth. It could be something to do with their brain chemistry that makes them sick and perverted, or emotionless psychopaths.
Whatever the case may be we need to handle the situation as peacefully as we can. If you were doing these horrible things and everyone was calling for your head on a platter would you be willing to go peacefully or would you try to fight it with all of the power that you had at your disposal? We know that our prison system as it is doesn't rehabilitate troubled people but only exasperates their problems. These people do need to be locked away from society but we can make their incarceration a more healing process than a condemning one.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and these people are some of the weakest links if not the absolute weakest in our chain of society. If these people are sick and troubled then we are all sick and troubled and the only way to get better is to take care of each and every person as best as we can, including those involved in pizzagate.

Pedophiles are untreatable and should be locked up for life.

Did you read what I wrote? I said they need to be locked up for life as well. My post is targeted towards those who believe the answer to this problem is to shove glass shards up their asses and castrate them and leave them on a deserted island. I'm not arguing against punishment I'm arguing what kind of punishment is appropriate and most effective.

Locked up for life, away from general population because of their offender status. Seems like the easy route, that's not deterring anything.
Source. Close family works within the Dept of Corrections, anyone watching LOCKUP or JAIL knows they're kept separate from danger other prisoners deal with. Seems too cushy to me. Can they be put with Gen pop?
