Good guys. Hope only great things happen for them. nt Ilsa Jun 2016 #1

Yeah, if it was consensual sex, why was he running away? Ilsa Jun 2016 #2

And what woman is going to consent to sex behind a dumpster? pnwmom Jun 2016 #4

you mean behind the dumpster isn't at the top of the list NewJeffCT Jun 2016 #56

more like three. apparently, they are already planning on time off for "good behaviour" niyad Jun 2016 #24

Absolutely, Bless their hearts! I am still completely gobsmacked by the rapist's father's response: Raster Jun 2016 #6

OFFS. the father doesn't sound much better than the son! nt m-lekktor Jun 2016 #13

His father is absolutely correct (or at least he should be correct) whopis01 Jun 2016 #49

They are good men. nt sheshe2 Jun 2016 #5

Did they get a lot of practice in Sweden recently, tackling rapists? Califonz Jun 2016 #7

No. They were able to tell instantly that a crime was being comitted. REP Jun 2016 #8

Apparently they practice using common sense and being brave in Sweden. nt pnwmom Jun 2016 #14

They need to teach a class in that FrodosPet Jun 2016 #42

Your question is confusing. Care to explain at length what you mean by it? Hekate Jun 2016 #16

I think Califonz is referring to the skyrocketing of rapes in Sweden Albertoo Jun 2016 #22

Skyrocketing rapes coinciding with the massive influx of midle eastern & north african immigrants Quantess Jun 2016 #33

I agree with you. radicalliberal Jun 2016 #51

That's what I had in mind too Albertoo Jun 2016 #59

That's a travesty, since there is a long-established, if fairly small, Jewish population in Sweden. Quantess Jun 2016 #61

You're welcome. Califonz Jun 2016 #60

apparently he was sentenced to six, but will be able to get out in three for "good behaviour" niyad Jun 2016 #26

The news outlets zentrum Jun 2016 #37

Does anyone know if he will have to even register as a sex offender? Stonepounder Jun 2016 #18

His father was saying that he did. He thought that was enough punishment. n/t pnwmom Jun 2016 #20

Be careful out there, guys. Jerry442 Jun 2016 #19

+1, The judge being one of them... freakin disgusting uponit7771 Jun 2016 #54

Would dear old dad call it "20 minutes of action" if it was his daughter being raped? keithbvadu2 Jun 2016 #21

Or his son, who will be wearing prison jumpsuit IronLionZion Jun 2016 #23

No, that would be "20 minutes of inaction" Gormy Cuss Jun 2016 #43

Perhaps, it's not so fanciful to imagine. It reflects a very low level of moral Joe Chi Minh Jun 2016 #48
