don't recall him being accused of that either

let me get a big black man to fondle u,
u senseless lil bug.

More convicts were sent to America than Australia.

What does it matter whether he fondled them or fucked them?

So he fondled, but didn't fuck...

Well you see Judge, I just groped them a bit, not much you know...I personally don't think it scarred the children as much as if I had fucked them your honor...

Wrong is wrong, no matter how you paint the picture...

especially when you are in a trusted position...

well, that wasn't the sentance

interesting past couple days in the sad irony that is america...

pornographers arguing FOR censorship.

one criminal passing judgement on another.

A state constitution (a public document) that invokes God in it's very first sentence, says a monument (in public) doing the same is illegal.

proof it works

the attack described in the article sounds like a personal one.

I am not saying either is right, however I do feel the death penalty may be a little stiff

The guards let him die and let the other guy do the job ...

yep

50 DEAD CHILD MOLESTERS !!!

The attacker sounds like a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, who was already serving a life sentance, was convicted of an antrax scare while he was in prison, hated blacks, Jews, gays and had a thing against child molestors.

Yeah, I think he took it personal. :1orglaugh

I don't know...

I'm sure many of the kids will work through what happened...

But what about those that don't work through it, those that in essence he stole their life... destroyed all that they were to become... killing them emotionally...

personally if I was one of those kids he fondled, I'd sleep much easier knowing he couldn't do it again to anyone

yep

Well, since my involvement in this discussion really was centered on whether or not the state fucked up by letting him get killed, I will get back on topic and just say that MA does not have a death penalty. If I end up in their prison for any reason, I have a right to expectation that I will live thru it.

the point is not how he should be punished - the point is how can someone molest 130 kids before it's discovered? this was not an unknown stranger out of the dark woods - it was a person who could have been easily pointed at. that's the real failure of the system.

What a fucking waste of tax payers money to sent them to prison. Why just not kill them when caught? :BangBang:

Justice!

I would like to see all the other priests right now. Watch your backs you fuckin' pervs.

Just dont fight back when you drop the soap and youll probably live through it... might grab the hiv on your way out. Nothing's guarenteed in prison

I see a very interesting, yet alarming tendency in this thread, which can be summarized as follows:

<b>Person:</b> "Anyone who does something as bad as raping children deserves to die!!"
<b>Crowd:</b> "Yeah!!!"
<b>Bystander:</b> "But shouldn't the state carry out judgment and punishment?"
<b>Person:</b> "Not if you do something as bad as raping children!"
<b>Crowd:</b> "Yeah!!!"
<b>Bystander:</b> "Actually, he didn't rape them, he just fondled them."
<b>Person:</b> "It doesn't matter, wrong is wrong. So, he deserved to die!"
<b>Crowd:</b> "Yeah!!!"

<i>conversation continued</i>

<b>Bystander:</b> "So, if you do something wrong, you should be murdered, without any trial or whatsoever?"
<b>Person:</b> "Uhh... Yeah!!"
<b>Crowd:</b> "Yeah!!!"
<b>Bystander:</b> <i>slowly moves away from the crowd, before he is labelled a witch and thrown onto one of the many smoking fires</i>

UhOh.. A voice of reason? On GFY? Within a hate thread?
The end of days is near!

If I get sentenced to any jail time when my trial comes up I hope I get a cell with a priest :glugglug

agreed

So if you support vigilante justice what do you say about the religious right deciding to burn down adult videos stores. Or pro lifers shooting abortionists.

The law is the way we live above chaos.

He was discovered but the church leaders dicided they were above the law and just moved him to another parish where he could continue. Another form of vigilante action?

If the law had of been respected and followed a lot of children would not of been molested. The church took on dealing with it.

hmm. This thread makes me horny :Graucho

Most Americans are still cowboys.
Lets hang the fucker
Lynch him

:1orglaugh

Where was God when the priest abused those children?

Get the rope we going to have us a hangin.. Yeee Haaaaw!

the article I read said he was killed by someone who had a grudge against homosexuals. I'm not sure that is something to celebrate. Another article early on said the guy didn't know he was a priest but just knew he was gay.

I am not upset that he isn't around any more but not sure I want to celebrate someone being murdered.

Who was it that said that a civilsation is judged by how it treats its prisoners?

I always thought that part of our civilization was that people were send to jail AS punishment not FOR punishment.

Worse that all of that though - I think his killing will stop some people that were molested from coming forward. There are going to be pleanty of people that want to come forward but do not want to cause the death of a priest - regardless of what he did. Catholic guilt is a powerful thing.

torture him slowly for the rest of his life, and let the relatives of the abused children visit him each day as he's tied to the chair...................

He was already convicted as he was in jail, so what grey area is there about what he did, he had it lucky dying so fast, fucker

The level of hypocrisy is amazing.

What's the difference between touching a child and raping women?

I can see the rapists cheering on the death of the priest. Guess their crimes arent as bad as his right?

Awww, if it involved a kid he deserves a horrible death, but let it be a woman and it's just good old rape, which america craves.

Fucking hypocrites.

if he was found guilty of "fondling", his punishmen should be to be fondled. old school biblical justice says an eye for an eye, so the punishment should mirror the crime.

i don't think that our justice system should have its punishments carried out by convicted felons. it's bullshit that a person who is already serving his time should be vulnerable in this way. plenty of people feel that adult webmasters should be killed - but i, for one, wouldn't want to die in jail because a bunch of u.s. citizens feel it's okay for a prisoner to carry out their personal version of justice.

Another point of view:

Mitchell Garabedian, a lawyer who represents more than 100 victims, said it was impossible to predict how the killing may affect these talks. But several criminal cases against Geoghan will now be closed, he said.

So it looks like Geoghans dead was stroke of luck for the church :feels-hot

everyone is aware of how brutal prison is... this should be a detterrant on what not to do to land your ass there...the priest just couldnt keep his hands off little alter boys.. he landed in prison..It was his choice .....he should have just bent over when he first arrived..bitched up and he probably would have been protected for a certain amount of time.

Maybe if the catholics werent so fucking evil and tried for many many many years to relocate and hide the preists hanious crimes against children..then maybe people wouldnt be so apt to kill the fuckers...

bottom line .. he is dead.. he is home..back with Satan :thumbsup

You guys really are off base here.

I have a cousin (not even 22) doing time for armed robbery.

He told me in a letter there is no way he will be able to do 5 years without killing someone in self defense in jail. he said he almost has to fight daily to keep his shit.

This is from a letter about 6 months ago.

So he goes in for robbery and has to kill someone to protect himself?

What a way to do your time.

He told me he will spend the rest of his life in prison before he lets someone ass fuck or bitch him.

It's not right to allow criminals to do this shit.

accroding to the article - which of course could be wrong - he wasn't killed by someone thinking he was doing justice for the kids. He was killed by someone who would have most likely had a go at killing anyone he thought was gay. Sorry, I am not going to celebrate that.

He was a bad man and rotting in jail would have not been a bad thing. However, championing a murderer is surely not morally just either?

I heard an interesting theory last night. Someone said the Catholic Church ordered the hit to avoid the cost of Litigation for his pending charges
