20. Threatening an innocent person is aggressive behavior.

Threatening a rape victim for speaking out is outrageously sick. Threatening a rape victim with DEATH is psychopathic. I almost think that giving those two awful excuses for human beings a joke of a punishment is worse than giving them nothing at all. Now they think that if they do similar things in the future AND they get caught doing it, THIS is what awaits them. That's sick. I just don't think these girls will learn anything from this particular lesson. Those girls should be locked away for a good while.
