Victim Blaming: Gang rape of 11 year old girl in Texas

[Alaude Drenxta]

yeah, if these guys did commit the crime, they should be punished. But wishing them harm and death isn't the right thing to do, what if one of those men was someone really close to you, like a brother or father, and people were wishing death on them and saying how they wanted to make them eat there own teeth. I know what happen is a very sensitive issue for some and the thought of a 11yr old girl getting raped is very upsetting and makes people enraged and confused, but we really don't know all the details is all I am saying.

A guy I had known for many years, and knew quite well at that, turned out to have raped his 12 year old cousin. I had at one time called him quite a good friend.

When I found out, I knocked his four front teeth out on sight.
And I'd do it again were I in the same situation, with no hesitation.
All the logic and reasoning in the world will not ever change that, because people who rape and abuse children deserve no pity, no respite, and no "justice", because equivalent justice will never come.

well, as long as you knew without a doubt he did do it, good for you.

I was just saying, we shouldn't make assumptions about people based on what the media tells us. My brother was accused of something many years back, people were wishing the death penalty on him, wanted him to be tried as an adult and face the maximum punishment, the media portrayed him as a bad person and people were saying things about him that weren't true and when I saw people on the news saying they wanted him dead, I was truly sad and angered. It turns out, he was innocent, was found not guilty on all charges. So I guess it just bothers me when people wish harm and punishment to others based on what the media says. I'm sure those guys are anything but innocent, but it isn't our call.

That's what's so terrible about rape. When someone rapes a person (especially if they're a virgin) they take something that person can never get back. Rape isn't like stealing a T.V. In that respect, it's closer to murder.

If you'd ever met someone who was brutally raped, especially at a young age, you might imagine why they often feel they'd rather off themselves than continue living. No, it isn't the same as murder, but it is one of the biggest causes of suicide.

well, as long as you knew without a doubt he did do it, good for you.

The prick even bragged about it. As for this case in particular, however, they gathered the suspects based on the fact that they'd seen them in the various videos on cellphones and cameras. Video doesn't lie easily.

@Amae: You're completely missing the point. I didn't say that rape was equivalent to murder. I said that in cases like rape and murder, someone takes something that no one can get back. Ever. The two are unfathomable, senseless crimes that cannot be made up for.

Yea, I guess torture could easily fit the bill. Women are fragile and easily damaged enough as it is without having the one thing they can control, their body, stripped away from them. No, I'm a misogynist, I'm just speaking the truth.
