Death is too easy. Let the punishment fit the crime. Put them in a cage with a bunch of gorillas and let them be ass raped till they scream for mercy.

Even gorillas wouldn't do that.

You are so right and I stand corrected.

Why oh why is the West so lenient to evil scum. Pretty much the only thing the Saudis have correct are their judicial procedures involving public lashes, stonings, beheadings and hangings. Where did we go wrong in not implementing these forms of punishment?

Because of the huge number of innocent people who are mistakenly convicted or framed. Perhaps they should have another layer of conviction that is beyond beyond reasonable doubt, like if they confessed and were caught on live TV or something. I'm glad we don't have those punishments, because when I think about the government putting to death an innocent person, that one terrible terrible injustice is so much worse than the situation where actual evil criminals just have to rot in prison forever instead of being given a quick exit. And you just know it would be abused, especially by the government, to 'legally' not only discredit their enemies but also dispatch of them.

That said, I make an exception for people in positions of power who do this stuff. They can go into a vat of boiling oil feet first, and slowly.
