I don't think that the death penalty is appropriate for rape,

Thank you for the reply, and while I generally apprecite the "Honk Honk" meme, in this case, I don't understand. Would you be kind enough to elaborate?
One guy committed the crime of rape.
The other guy committed the crime of assault while stopping a rape.
These things are not the same. Your example compares apples and oranges in the worst possible way.
Thank you for answering me (upvote). With respect, it seems that you've misunderstood. I'm not comparing at all, I'm contrasting. The fault of your misunderstanding may well be my writing.
I wanted to delve into the issue of weather or not any person to be deported should have the benefit of the punishment faced in his home country (edit) being considered when determining weather to exile or deport . There isn't an objective "correct" answer, just a philosophy.
Different example for clarity's sake: I'd say that if a Chinese dissident facing death in China gained assylum in America and then got a DUI , we may want to exile him, but not deport him. Exile would give the him a chance to avoid death by petitioning another host county to grant him assylum.
The example is meant to illustrate the idea, rather than to compare these two, as you correctly pointed out, apples to orange cases.
