This is one of the responses to a quora question, "Why do people have no sympathy for pedophiles and rapists and (almost) no one defends their rights?"All I have to say is that I've lost some braincells

Charlie is wrong. Societies have long shamed, prohibited and made examples of, behaviors which were, or were thought to be, harmful to the community. And, for a percentage of deviants, it reduced the maximum number of potential offenses due to fear of personal, actual, consequences. So that's not a positive thing?

And the sad truth is most of these guys CANT be helped, there is NO treatment. They Will Not/Cannot Change. We need to be realistic about this, and either isolate these deviants together, or remove them permanently. We do this for dangerous animals, machinery, or even ideologies nowadays. Not that big a step...

Someone trying to condescend all people with a rational reaction to sex offenders, by claiming they can't introspect beyond learned thought patterns ("schemas") can't look within to see why they, themselves, are empathizing with scum of the Earth. Only someone who can put themselves in another's shoes can empathize...they can paint a scenario in their minds where they would rape or pedo-rape, or they are a pickme who loved someone they could see doing it.

All of this bullshit "sympathy" for predators and not one mention of the victims they attack. Not all sex predators and offenders were hurt or victims first, and at some point that ceases to matter. There is a long list of flawed groups of people who need "protection and treatment"--If you are so flawed that you can't be trusted not to hurt other people, you must be put down or put away. So sorry -.-

To answer that moron: We defend the rights of the victims, we prosecute the criminal.
