The incredibly tragic story of Tori Stafford's end

[goldoyster]

UPDATE, petition:

We, the undersigned, believe that when there is irrefutable evidence that a child was murdered with forethought, the murderer should lose their right to live within our society and should be put to death. 
Canadians strongly oppose the continued support of these individuals.

We want this to be called Tori's Law.

I really have to gently say, imho, there is no justice in the death penalty, and it only brings us, as a society, down to the killer's level. It actually costs more to put someone to death, rather than let them live in prison, facing their crime, every single day. I say, as a mother, if you can't bring me back my child...you can't give me justice, and I will not have blood on my hands

What do you think is an appropriate sentence for someone who kidnaps, rapes and then kills a little child in a very brutal, cruel manner?

I would feel safer knowing they were in prison for the rest of their lives but that doesn't happen here. Some are out in 10 yrs after deals they make to share the details of what they did. These people often re-offend. At worst, they are out in 25 yrs. that is what one of this little girl's killers/abductee was already sentenced with.

I sincerely believe in life without parole. What happened to it? Put a child-rapist in jail...the other inmates have no tolerance...predators become prey. He will know fear, every single day. I think it's bullshit that deals can be made...and life is fifteen years or so. That's what has to be stopped. At the same time, there are soooo many people in jail, who shouldn't be there, who didn't receive the justice they needed...because they didn't have the money to spend on a decent lawyer. Look how DNA testing is freeing so many 'rapists' who were innocent. Look at the first offenders...a stupid kid who tried to deal pot, put in with violent criminals, who teach...violent crime. I want the system to be better. I want parents to have more training, I want schools that can find these troubled people...when they are troubled kids, and haven't done anything yet. Then I'd like to see jails in the wilderness, for violent offenders...where they have to fight the elements, and each day is hard, hard, hard. I'd like to have a justice

I happen to agree with this...No matter how utterly horrible a crime is, I can never wrap my mind around saying that killing is wrong by killing. I think we should petition to make sure those people rot in jail and never see the light of day.
