I oppose the state putting this man to death.
Just put him in with the other prisoners and let nature take its course.

A California man who kidnapped and raped a 7-year-old girl with severe developmental disabilities was sentenced Friday to 65 years to life in state prison.
The convicted rapist was brought to justice because of an unlikely and brave little hero -- the victim's 8-year-old friend.
Daniel Vlas Flores approached the victim, who was playing with an 8-year-old girl and two boys in an apartment courtyard in Huntington Beach on April 19, 2009. Flores, then 30, told the children, who were under the care of a babysitter, that he needed help moving his furniture, the Orange County Register reports. The 8-year-old girl urged the man to take the boys to help him, but Flores pulled the victim -- who repeatedly said she did not want to go -- by the hand and ran with her into his nearby apartment.
In the apartment, Flores raped, sodomized and sexually assaulted the little girl with his fingers, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

"Eye for an eye makes the whole wor" NAH. You do this to a child, DEATH.
My way IS the humane way. Dance around it all you want . . . what do you think's going to happen to this pedo-predator in prison once the GP gets wind? Is lifelong torture the better option? Many prisoners are fathers themselves.
