i do not tell myself or anyone else any lies (unless iam joking and iam sure people understand that)
Because thatās the only way He could save me. My sin is too heavy a burden to carry.
I totally agree with her. Even if that father was only 20 years old, he never should be able to leave the prison. 50 men, we only know of for sure and who probably not just once raped his wife. Then he probably also raped his daughter. And I wonder who else. If you break it down, to be raped minimum 51 times - if thatās not enough to get a lifetime meaning the word, then I happily help that person to understand it.
It took quite a while for the writer of the article to mention the druggistās age. Maybe that was so Iād read the whole thing. I thought it was never going to get mentioned. If it never was and I was the editor, I would have fired the writer. That would have been more than a simple oversight.
For me, it is always about likelihood of repeating the behavior and never about punishment. He will be 80 years old when he could potentially get out. That is young enough to repeat the behavior, but another question is what good will releasing him do for anyone. He will have no money or family. He would probably be put in a rehab type place. Hopefully, he dies in the next 8 years. If not, itās probably best that he stays in prison. For himself, as well. He wonāt be able to do much on his own snd will be an even bigger money burden.
I donāt think families of victims or victims themselves should get to choose the sentence. Iām not saying this woman is saying she should get to decide. She might just be expressing her thoughts.
If families or the victim could decide, the result for similar deeds would be highly unfair. From the article I never would have derived that the daughter was suggesting such a thing. It just was what she thought was appropriate.
To me an appropriate punishment considers both, the probability of a repeat as well as the crime itself. The latter must consider how that crime affects the victim. I know of course that rape is extreme hard to prove. I get that punishments only should be done if the evidence is clear. I pity every victim who has to go through that police and judicially procedure for nothing or for a ridiculous verdict. Many donāt accuse their rapist because they fear they donāt have that energy or feel too much shame. And I can understand them.
But knowing how much even just the attempt of rape and the fear during that situation can do with the victim, not to mention rape, I consider the average punishments for rape not as appropriate. The victim of rape is the one who got the hardest punishment by far, namely life. Plus the fear to meet her rapist again at any time, night or day.
It is partly about the punishment and the fact that it offers no rehabilitation but strictly expectation of obedience to the Law upon release, should that happen.
So sad. And he even smiled on his way out. Will he change when being released? I doubt it.
