It's not about fighting for the rights of child rapists. It's about fighting for the rights of all human beings, no matter what. Because if we start making exceptions for child rapists, there's nothing to say we won't start making exceptions for less and less heinous crimes and go down the slippery slope. It sounds like something you can scoff and say you won't fall for, but given the sheer number of times it has happened in history -- even recent history (cough McCarthyism) -- tells a different story.

Also? Mutilating a child rapist doesn't magically un-rape the child. It doesn't protect future children from being victimized by him in other ways. It's pure, empty, pointless vengeance that will help no one and be of no good to society whatsoever. All it does is give people a bit of hollow sadistic glee for a while, at the expense of bringing us down so low that we are actually chopping off people's balls in anger. That's pathetic and degraded and just so devoid of human dignity it's revolting.

I couldn't give two shits about the pain of the child rapist, if the guy tripped and fell in a vat of acid and died screaming I wouldn't shed a tear, but I do give a shit about other good people being driven to commit torture. No child rapist is worth sacrificing human dignity and civility in order to exact empty revenge on. There's nothing admirable about becoming barbaric torturers for the sake of getting a bit of satisfaction, and the fact that the object of your torture is a complete monster doesn't change anything.

Now, I wouldn't really judge the child's mother or father for cutting off the child rapist's balls, but the gulf between that and state-sanctioned action is so immense as to not even be comparable.
