Do you think he deserves a 2nd chance?

Clinton by that logic, we should lock up everyone who is on the dole.

He has committed deceiving acts, he lied to Diabetes Australia so they would allow him to sell toys to children. This shows the intent of Ferguson to act again. He should still be in jail.

I think he's trying to say that by this argument

people like that don't change, lock him up forever. he doesnt bring any value by coming out of jail therfore he shouldnt come out at all

dolebludges (who are claimed by the folks on Today Tonight for example) who do change their ways should also be locked up forever.

clinton clearly said "people like that" - referring to paedophiles - i.e. he is stating that paedophiles don't change, therefore imprison him indefinitely because he is nothing but a risk to society.

I still don't see the connection with dole bludgers o.O

The thrust of the argument by clinton is that criminals who do not change their ways should be locked up forever. clinton stated that paedophiles are one type of people. lukeperry91 pointed out that dolebludgers could also be such people.

It's an reductio ad absurdum argument.

death by firing squad

i'd opt for something for subtle, say fed to hyenas?

Hm, an extremely slow build up on an electric chair drag out the pain

he should suffer the same fate as Louis XV's would-be assasin, Robert-François Damiens:

 "before the torture, on 28 March 1757, he said "the day will be hard".[cite this quote] He was tortured first with red-hot pincers; his hand, holding the knife used in the attempted assassination, was burned using sulphur; molten wax, lead, and boiling oil were poured into his wounds. Horses were then harnessed to his arms and legs for his dismemberment. Damiens' limbs and ligaments did not separate easily; after some hours, representatives of the Parlement ordered the executioner and his aides to cut Damiens' joints. Damiens was then dismembered, to the applause of the crowd. His torso, apparently still living, was then burnt at the stake."
