good, decent, humane, strong and loving men. We should all strive to raise our children to be such good, decent, humane, strong and loving people.

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

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

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
