46. Rape is considered some sort of right in this part of the world

Nov 2013

I am so sorry to report.

30 years ago I was renting an apartment maybe 100 miles from there and a predator broke in, but we chased him off. The police informed us that this guy had just been released from serving a 7 yr sentence for rape and attempeted murder. He had not succeeded in killing the woman only leaving her paralyzed for life! 7 years for this violence? And here he was breaking into our place? And they wanted us to stay and call them when he broke in again so that they could arrest him in the act....we moved out immediately.

But the poor woman in Florida gets 20 years for shooting a warning shot when her abusive husband was getting ready to beat her up a mere week after giving birth......

Simply outrageous.
