Yah, death would be good for him. Or castration, not the chemical kind. They could give him the death penalty as well, afterward, if they want.
S not sure if he is one of the bleeding heart liberals referred to

Curtis Thompson Linked To Second Sexual Assault
September 1, 2004
By Kevin ReeceSEATTLE - A convicted sex predator arrested for allegedly attacking two women in Seattle's University District has been linked to another sex attack.
Investigators say they now have evidence that Curtis Thompson raped a woman in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood just a few days before the U-District attack.
Prosecutors argued that this guy should never be let out of jail; that after four brutal rapes and 18 years in prison, Thompson was a continued threat and couldn't be rehabilitated.
In court documents released Wednesday, prosecutors say fingerprints prove that Curtis Thompson brutally raped a woman again.
On Aug. 23, KOMO 4 News showed surveillance video from a Univeristy District apartment building where police say Curtis Thompson attacked two women, beat up an older man, made one woman take off her blouse, and threatened to kill them all.
911 calls got police there quickly. They tackled Thompson as he left. He's been in jail ever since.
But six days before that happened, someone broke into an apartment on Minor Avenue East in Seattle at 2 o'clock in the morning. There, a 29-year-old woman was brutally raped for up to two hours.
At one point, police say she hit the attacker with a lamp, but he grabbed it away from her and tied her up.
He finally left taking her car, police say.
Now, police say fingerprints on an open window and that lamp positively match the fingerprints of Curtis Thompson.
This has been a frustrating case for prosecutors. They begged a jury to agree that Thompson should be committed indefinitely in prison as a sexual predator. But that jury, in the first of its kind decision, decided to set him free.
Now within a year of that release, he's charged in two brutal attacks.
This time, however, if convicted, he'll get life in prison and never have a chance to attack again.

Bleach allegedly used to cover up rape
By Jessica Blanchard
Seattle Times staff reporterA registered sex offender accused of raping a Seattle woman in her Eastlake neighborhood home last month dumped bleach on her and her bedding in an attempt to avoid being caught, according to court documents filed yesterday in King County Superior Court.
But prosecutors say fingerprints on a window and a lamp link convicted serial rapist Curtis S. Thompson, 45, to the scene of the Aug. 17 rape.
Thompson was charged yesterday with one count each of first-degree burglary, first-degree rape and car theft.
Those charges were added to the 11 felonies Thompson already faces after being arrested Aug. 23 in the University District, accused of forcing his way into an apartment building there and assaulting two women.
He is being held in the King County Jail in lieu of $5 million bail. In documents filed yesterday, prosecutors asked the judge to keep the bail amount high because Thompson presents "an extreme risk to the community."
According to court papers, a man broke into an Eastlake apartment early on Aug. 17. The 29-year-old woman who lived there awoke to find a man on top of her, covering her mouth with a bleach-soaked sock, according to court documents.
He threatened her and demanded money before raping her. At one point, the woman attempted to escape by grabbing a lamp from her nightstand and hitting him in the head with it, but the attacker recovered and bound her hands and feet, according to court documents.
He raped her several times before splashing bleach on her, causing chemical burns. He also poured bleach on the bed, took the bedding to the laundry room to wash it and then stole the woman's car, according to court documents. Prosecutors contend the man was attempting to destroy forensic evidence linking him to the crime scene.
Fingerprints recovered from an open window and from the lamp match Thompson's prints, according to court papers.
Thompson was convicted of four rapes and one attempted rape in King County in 1985. After being arrested in 1985, Thompson told police his behavior was "out of control" and that he was "afraid that he might kill his next victim," according to court documents.
Thompson served more than 17 years in prison for his crimes. Shortly before he was scheduled to be released, prosecutors sought to have him committed to the state's secure treatment center for sexual offenders on McNeil Island, Pierce County. They argued that Thompson had a history of sexual sadism, had refused sex-offender treatment in prison and was likely to offend again.
But a jury was swayed by his attorney's arguments that he had been a model prisoner and developed good relationships with women who worked for the Department of Corrections during his incarceration. He was released in October 2003.Thompson is scheduled to be arraigned today. If convicted in the Eastlake rape, he would be a candidate for the state's "two strikes" law for persistent sex offenders, which would mean a term of life in prison without the possibility of release.

Curtis Thompson Goes To Court To Face 14 Charges
September 2, 2004
By Tracy VedderSEATTLE - First it was a fingerprint. Now it's DNA.
Prosecutors say they've got the man who committed an Eastlake rape behind bars.
Curtis Thompson pleaded not guilty to 14 charges that could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
The 45 year-old Thompson walked into the King County courtroom Thursday shackled, wearing the white jumpsuit of an ultra high security prisoner. He was surrounded by an unusually high number of guards.
"He is clearly an angry, angry man," says Senior Deputy Prosecutor Scott O'Toole, "who is prone to violence."
That is the image public defender Richard Warner is fighting, "I think it's a concern in every trial that a defendant get a fair trial."
But Warner's motion to unshackle Thompson failed.
Thompson is charged with 14 crimes including rape, assault, robbery, and kidnapping.
A surveillance tape captured his arrest Aug. 23 outside a U-District apartment building. Police say he followed two women inside, attacked them and a man who came to their aid.
And then, he allegedly threatened the five officers who arrested him.
"He very, very imposing," says O'Toole, with "a history of violence, a recent history of violence and threats against victims and against police officers, against jail officers. He is clearly an angry, angry man who is prone to violence."
A week before the U-District attack, a man broke into an Eastlake apartment, raping a 29-year-old woman, pouring bleach on her giving her chemical burns, and then stealing her car.
Police and prosecutors say fingerprints and DNA at the scene are Thompson's.
When the rape happened, people in the Eastlake neighborhood were shocked and frightened. They began double-checking locks on doors and windows, reviewing safety plans.
Now with word of an arrest, there is definitely a sense of relief.
"We're very, very happy that the police caught the man," says resident Joy Huber, "and there was apparently enough evidence to tie him to this particular incident."
The neighborhood is also banding together to help the victim, raising money to help her move. Helping everyone heal.
In 1985, Thompson was convicted of raping four women. If found guilty this time, under the state's "two strikes" law for sex offenders, he could go to prison for the rest of his life.
