It is obvious that Kimo Wires is expressing a hope that the man accused of a sex crime against little girls ends up in prison, where he will be raped by another homosexual prisoner. That's offensive on so many fronts. Most notably, it connects the social constructions "gay" with "pedophilia," when in fact the vast majority of pedophiles are men who seek out little girls. It is also uninformed, as it assumes that men who have sex with men in prison are gay. Most are not. They are just horny and take what they can get.
As for "a better way to describe what Kimo is implying," Kimo could have simply expressed a wish that the person (if guilty) is eventually punished by the state for his crime.
Again, I am sure that Kimo meant no offense, but the comment was insensitive.
I've said my peace and do not intend to comment further on this matter.

Only a judge or jury can decide the guilt of this man under our system of justice, which system is much better than any yet devised. It is also better than anarchy or adjudicating guilt based on a newspaper article. And bail is a matter of right except in certain narrow circumstances. This isn't a village in Iran where we execute people in the public square with a scimitar. We make the state prove its case and let a jury decide guilt. While others are entitled to express an opinion about guilt, they are not entitled to find guilt. The jury gets to do that.
If guilt is found, the punishment is imprisonment for a crime of this sort and not rape.
I am always amazed at reading the comments to newspaper articles about crime where the same people who rail against muslims and so-called Sharia law with its supposedly instant justice, advocate the very same thing by suggesting we string up people before they have even been found guilty.
Let this man have his day in court. And, if he is found guilty, imprison him.
And let me have the gorilla.

So true. Kimo's intentions were clear and good and a normal reaction when predators harm children. I look at it as just a way of expressing his disgust and don't take it literally including and up to the gorilla.
