This is one of the responses to a quora question, "Why do people have no sympathy for pedophiles and rapists and (almost) no one defends their rights?"All I have to say is that I've lost some braincells

Charlie is wrong. Societies have long shamed, prohibited and made examples of, behaviors which were, or were thought to be, harmful to the community. And, for a percentage of deviants, it reduced the maximum number of potential offenses due to fear of personal, actual, consequences. So that's not a positive thing?

And the sad truth is most of these guys CANT be helped, there is NO treatment. They Will Not/Cannot Change. We need to be realistic about this, and either isolate these deviants together, or remove them permanently. We do this for dangerous animals, machinery, or even ideologies nowadays. Not that big a step...
