Sex offender feeling the urge attempts to castrate himself

[tinhamodic]

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (CBS) ― A convicted sex offender tried to castrate himself with a knife after apparently having an urge to offend again.

After the 59-year-old Springfield man severed one of his testicles and flushed it down a toilet, he called a friend for help. Paramedics arrived and treated him for his injuries, and he was rushed to the hospital, the Springfield State Journal-Register reported. Police would not identify the man, but say he is expected to survive.

The Journal-Register reports that the man told police he was feared that he was going to harm children.

This guy's got balls, er, one of them at least. But for real, he realised he had a sickness and instead of hurting others hurt himself instead.

[Robotkiller]

Huh, that's a lot simpler than checking yourself into a clinic now isn't it.

[Denji]

Self mutilation for the loss.:arg

It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done or even plan to do, you don't cut the marbles loose.

[Luigi]

He got balls.... well, one of them at least.

[Mike Hunt]

All I have to say is... Bravo (You admit you had a sickness and "attempted to cure it") and Ewww... (aww dude not ur nuts :-()

[Jagon Fox]

well, he saved the taxpayers money, but it wouldn't have made more sense to cut off his shlong rather then his nuts?

[Urahara Kisuke]

Pure cray I tell you.

[Aurentuku]

Uh... if he's so poised to do that then go see a doctor... they can do it for him and without pain :S....

[Dimezanime88]

That's bravery at its best!

[Xion]

At least he wanted to change for the better. But of all things to do...THAT!!!

It pains me to think about it. :cry

would of made more sense to chop his wang off

[Gaawa-chan]

... Um... good for him for recognizing that he has problems?
... But... Bad that he... did that?
Um... ow?

well what do you expect, this dude wasn't right in the head

[tinhamodic]

He's gonna lose his shirt, pants and underwear! Believe me! Aaaarrrrhhh! :nod

[Tsuki]

Whoa.

It's cool that he recognized that he had a problem and did something to prevent himself from hurting someone else, but chopping off one of his balls was not necessary.

There are other ways to keep yourself from doing something bad, y'know. :oh

[Cæk]

Can't believe no-one commented on the fact that its in a town called Springfield, am I really the oly one who finds that amusing? :huh

[Hitomi_No_Ryu]

Why are some people congratulating this?

Self-mutilation under any reason is wrong!

[Ecclaed]

Whoa.

I agree.

Desperate times call for desperate measures? :amazed Sometimes people want that kind of pain as a punishment.

[Tsuki]

I guess so.

But still. Don't cut something off. Just cut something. That way you can heal.

Human bodies are not capable of growing your balls back. :sag

That post would HAVE made more sense with some grammar in there.

Castration is smarter than removing the penis, because the testicles is the source of potency.

[maximilyan]

damn.. maybe this thing really isnt their fault.. i mean dude was willing to castrate himself.. cot damn.

well I was going for a PG-13 version of what I said, don't like it, TS

[RPG_Fan04]

Well, at least he knew what he did was wrong and tried it...er...."cleanse" himself like that.

Er..., but doing that is just plain wierd.

[Veriantor]

That is very weird

[Kage]

um..wow. self mutilation not cool but he really didn't want to end up hurting someone and sought to destroy the means to do so...it's noble and stupid. in a way i guess..?

[Sky is Over]

for some reason, I see this as kind of contradicting or a type of paradox...

[Immortal Flame]

I understand that he's trying his best to avoid committing the same crime again, but cutting off the tubestick isn't the right way to go about it.

[chocy]

Ouch. He could have arranged to see a psychiatrist or something. I wonder how he could endure all that pain while doing so. This is really sick.
