Okay… I’ve been thinking about replying to this thread for a while. I know that my response won’t be incredibly popular, but I don’t really give a fuck.
This is not a “T” anything. This is being mentally unstable and not letting bygons be bygons. YES, I think rape is one of the most putrid and lowly things a person can ever do. YES, it’s even less classy to go and heckle the mother of the rape victim. But the hypocrisy of the responses to this woman’s actions are a bit unbelievable.
Just like it’s not anyone else’s business to decide who has sex with who (forced sex/rape,) it’s no one else’s business to determine who lives or dies… especially by setting them on FIRE.
Sorry, but I’d have much more respect for someone that can allow the past to be the past, and to let a snide comment roll off their back. Maybe I grew up in a different environment and different standards than everyone else here, but I was taught that forgiveness is godliness. Being able to overcome your own personal vendettas in the name of what’s ACTUALLY right is much more commendable than taking the easy way out… maliciously lighting someone on fire.
I’m not very spiritual, and don’t know if I really believe in judgement or the afterlife, but if there is one, then the guy would certainly what’s coming to him. Until then, he’s just as entitled to live his life as her daughter was.
As far as I’m concerned, this woman is no different than the very man she set fire to.
Flame away, have your way at this post. Again, I really don’t care. It’s how I feel, and I think someone needed to say it.[/quote]
Well, I think what she did may not have been right, but perfectly understandable.
To think that she is even close to this rapist is ridiculous.
Would you be worried to have her as a neighbor? Would you be worried to have HIM as a neighbor?
For if your reaction would be different, they were obviously not doing the same thing.
