Wow...what an asinine human being. I'm not much for the death penalty myself, but I agree...he deserves it.
I am totally sick of the "blame the victim" mentality that a lot of people have. My mom has that mentality in a lot of rapes. I remember the Mike Tyson Rape case. It happened shortly after I had been date raped. My mom totally blamed the victim. "What did she expect was going to happen going to his place at that time of night?" Well the same could've been said for me. It was late at night/early morning. We don't always make great decisions, but that shouldn't mean that we're punished for them. And my mom had no idea that it happened to me. And I never intended to tell her. Not after that statement...
Though I also dislike people who cry "rape" when it clearly wasn't so. It gives real rape victims a bad name.
