In the past the Phalanx has railed against the death penalty, quite frankly the death penalty is no deterrent, it is applied too sparingly with little consistency from state to state. When it is applied the condemned thrive on death row for decades before their sentences are carried out and quite a few innocent men have no doubt gone to their deaths thanks to wrongful convictions. That being said, every now and then there comes a case that seriously tests one’s convictions. Today is such a day. Earlier today, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced the arrests of more than 25 people in an international child pornography ring.

This investigation, which began in Canada, has netted 13 domestic child porn perverts (CPPs) and 14 others in Australia, Canada and Great Britain (an English speaking alliance of child molesters). According to officials with the Justice department, the CPP suspects frequented online chat rooms complete with live streaming video of pedophiles molesting children, including one such low life molesting an infant.

While the death penalty may not deter these vermin, a lifetime of hard labor and atoning for their many crimes would certainly be a start that in conjunction with chemical castration would ensure that such filth could never again endanger innocent children. These CPPs are deserving of no special treatment, no consideration, no sympathy and no understanding. It will be interesting to see what type of defense these pedophiles mount; no doubt these sycophants will blame “society” for their criminal lust. If these dredges ever again see the light of day then one can truly say that there is no justice in this country.
