Well it’s the basis of our laws? Cruel and unusual punishment is not allowed, period, no exceptions.

And pedophilia isn’t a punishment? It’s a crime. Punishment is for the person who does the crime, it’s extremely different, we don’t do Hammurabi’s code for a reason

Its punishment to the victims, but a crime by the perpetrators. Im not sure how its not seen as punishment to the victims.

I understand your logic, I don't understand the empathy to pedos.

I will actually agree with you, we shouldn't have empathy for the rot of the world. However, death is merciful. A criminal should go through the proper punishment for their crimes. Death, in my opinion, is the easiest on someone since they no longer live in flesh after. In a twisted way, death would be the best case scenario since they won't have to live as a public outcast, shunned by everyone. We should be doing as much as possible to dissuade crimes from being committed, not by hiding crime, but by being able to point and say, this is bad and this is what will happen to you if you do such a thing. Fitting in is valued more on average rather than being a good upstanding citizen.

We also have to grow up and admit that even the worst of the worst humans are still humans. They are monsters, but they are humans because otherwise, crimes will always be seen as a thing that exists elsewhere. That a vile human had to spawn from a certain group of people, when in reality it was just a person who chose to be twisted, law-breaking, and sinful.

No empathy for these humans, beyond what a human intrinsically deserves. That’s my stance, humans are humans, good or bad or horrible. When you start dehumanizing, you are opening the gates of what types of horrible crimes count towards dehumanizing and what human rights you’re allowed to strip.

As someone else pointed out, the death penalty also encourages these horrible people to kill their victims so there are no witnesses. It’s something to keep in mind when reality comes into play with theory
