Chemical or scalpel. And don't worry about post-op sutures.

Find a dilapidated woodshed, soak it with gasoline, drop the perps' drawers and, set
him on top, nail his manhood to the roof, give him a rusty razor blade or a very dull
knife, set it on fire and walk away. I sometimes wondered but never ask if they would
ever think roasting hot dogs or marshmallows in the fire.

if some perv touched any child of mine, the Police/Courts would be the least thing for him to be worried about.......

child molesters are the lowest of the low.

And sorry, I don't really care.

Republicans and minorities are gleefully supporting Trump, because he's been right on the issues they support?

ISSUES THEY SUPPORT?

The support a leader that openly releases criminals, who takes bribes, who has corrupted our institutions and ruined our standing worldwide?

Can his just immoral supporters ever be reached? With the basement already subterranean, I don't see how!

when people went to the town square to see a hanging. I’ve always thought that I could never watch something like that. This might be the one time where I would make an exception.

starting with our leader, they could raffle off tickets for who got to pull the trap door lever, and the tickets, sold at 1 buck each, would certainly eliminate our national debt......they could also make even more, by making the final act a pay-per-view.....

EDIT: I just checked and it only about 1% at this point but for the victims it is 1% too much since they would not have been attacked had Trump not put their attackers back out on the streets

I think they should sue the bastard though for allow their predators to be free to attack them.

Imagine if 1% of the U.S. population were pedophiles. That would mean 3.4 million pedophiles walk among us.
