I am not ok with this. This is cruel and unusual punishment, specifically for the sake of punishment and nothing else. Castration will not reform him, will not protect anyone, since he will be spending the rest of his natural life in prison, and will not help anyone in the world at all... Except for the judge. Judge William Dykes, who is an elected official, issued this ruling not for justice, but because he knows that a certain type of moron will vote for anyone who harshly punishes pedophiles. If he wanted justice, he would've hung the pedo in the public square. But he wanted votes. So he ordered him to be castrated. Y'all are fucking retards for thinking this is ok.
