(1,591 posts)I understand your outrage, but saying we are "raising our boys to do this" is BS. THIS man did this, and the men who commit rapes and/or molestations account for less than 1 1/4% of the male population between 18-44, based on the 2010 census of 112,000,000 males between 18-44. 98+ % of us never have and never will abuse a woman.
this crime is a great example to debate the death penalty though. I think his life should end after the second appeal to determine if he in fact was the person that did this to the woman. 100% sure he committed the crime, then in my opinion the only issue to be resolved is will the family claim the body after execution, or will it go to the city for disposal, and I think the execution should be done within 30 days of second appeal, that is enough time for the family to make funeral arrangements. I do not believe this level of aggression has the DNA to be "rehabilitated". Put him in prison for life and give him nothing to do but prey on weaker inmates for sport and continue to inflict horror on other people, train him to be a MORE violent sociopath for 8-10 years in prison and then release the nightmare back into the population, or my preference.... remove the threat...permenantley with extreme prejudice and give him a cheap, shallow inscribed limestone headstone. Think of all the younger potiential abusers that will NOT have this trash as a role model.
I love the FB picture that says "When a dog hurts a child it is put down, why not the same treatment for rapists"
I don't believe it should be her choice to press charges or not, he intimidated her to the point where Tampering With a Witness should allow the state to remove this level of threat for the common good of the entire population. If she is able to protect him by not pressing charges, she should face charges as an accomplice WHEN he hurts another woman.
