Everybody would rather kill than be killed, but if that's all the law boils down to in this country, it's still a sign of total collapse. C'est la vie.Why stop at women? I can get behind a national firearm ownership mandate for all lawful citizens.
Now you're speaking my language
I encourage all sexual assault victims to go to the police immediately while evidence is easy to find. If I hear tall tales several decades later, those are extraordinary claims that I expect to be backed up by extraordinary evidence, especially when there’s a political agenda involved. Saying that Kavanaugh is a rapist is no different than saying Biden is a rapist - he got accused too, with no evidence to back the claim up.
No, you're wrong because it's YOU who doesn't understand.
And if you saw someone shooting innocent civilians, you blow them away first or as soon as possible, like this brave woman.
yeah nah because funny enough our gun laws over here have stopped most mass shootings we have had what 3 since our last major one over 20 years ago we changed the gun laws and well its been pretty good since then, there doesnt seem to be not even a month we hear over here another shooting in america. the rest of the world see's you as whackos, and not the abortion ruling, well
Why bother? The police are useless for anything other than showing up two hours after a crime has already been committed, then shooting your dog. They don't take thefts, rapes, or most crimes seriously, either. Easier to double-tap a would-be rapist and justify it to a court later. Especially in cases where that would-be rapist is a cop himself.
If people had more guns and less of the stupid and ineffective gun laws criminals would think twice and have more fear from doing what they do. I don't know what country your in or how it works, and quite frankly, I really do not give two shits because I live in America and I solve problems in my own country. The rest of the world can go screw themselves with whatever backwards laws they put in for all I care.
Always shoot rapists, I can get behind that (better than in front, I don’t want to get shot).
A lot depends on the quality of the police in your specific area, though, and in the states where abortion is now/will now be banned, I doubt they've been historically good about handling these issues. Let alone how much worse they'll get going forward with the new laws to embolden them.
I still lean towards some evidence over no evidence at all. Even if law enforcement is incompetent at any given time, the statute of limitations on rape is pretty long and cases can be reopened. A semen or blood sample can *eventually* lead to justice being served, testimony alone ain’t worth shit. An allegation is just an allegation - words are cheap. We have law, we should follow it. If you just wave your hand because “the police won’t do anything about it”, you have nobody to blame but yourself. I could’ve ignored that chick screaming behind the dumpsters too and not call the police, but I chose to call them, put my heavy boots on (in case I needed to kick the shit out of someone - I wasn’t armed) and went downstairs anyway. The cops showed up surprisingly quickly - by the time I was out of the building they were already there with guns at the ready, I just needed to show them the way. They caught the guy balls deep, so there really was no “arguing his way” out of that.
I don't doubt your story, but again it's anecdotal to the county you live in. I'd recommend getting a medical exam on record anywhere in the country, sure, but you don't necessarily need to get the police involved for that. Just depends on how wary your community is of police, because where they are, there's good reason for it. Anecdotally, there have even been cases where rape victims were raped again by police while in custody. I'd say they should only communicate with cops through a lawyer instead, but that advice is not helpful to people who live paycheck to paycheck.
Okay, now *that’s* an anecdote. When did that happen in custody, in the 1920’s, in Asshole County? What’s the likelyhood of that happening to any random woman today? One in a million? Let’s be real here - your odds of getting justice are better when you go to the police. In fact, that’s pretty much your only option after the fact. I don’t understand why you’d disincentivise that, even if you “hate cops”. I’m not a big fan of the state either, I don’t think the police is competent, but at the very least you have a paper trail and a potential investigation versus… what? Crying in the shower? Stop being so cynical, this is not useful advice.
Last one I can find is from 2010, I guess a more recent one I was seeing was about police in India. There are plenty of very recent stories about American police raping women in custody in general, though, not solely rape victims.
"Potential" investigation is correct, in many cases the cops will do nothing and victims will be left with no recourse other than crying in the shower anyway. My recommendation was to shoot would-be rapists beforehand, but that's not always going to be a realistic option either. There is no perfect solution, but I propose we start by treating rape as a more serious crime than aborting a rapist's baby.
Oh boy the irony of this statement from you.
Catching certain crimes "in the act" is largely impossible, This episode of yours is rarer than a lucky break.
The notion that women shouldn’t report getting raped because “they might get raped by the police” is absolutely ridiculous - you can’t seriously think that. What else shouldn’t women do? Call in a plumber during a leak because they might get raped? I had a look into this, and you know what? Between 2005 and 2013 there were 405 raped committed by police officers - not in custody, not on duty, just in general. This is by no means a comprehensive number since data on occupation of rapists is scarce, but it is “a number”, at least. By comparison, there were 139,815 rapes committed in the U.S…. in 2019 alone. Drop in the bucket, buddy - people who are victims of crimes should report them to the cops, period. I totally get that you expect police officers to meet a higher moral standard than the rest of us, but there are black sheep in every profession.
It’s what happened, I don’t know what to tell you. Perhaps they were on patrol anyway.
That includes you witnessing it and the guy still doing it when the cops arrived.
I wouldn't say that's an impressively low number, even if it were true. Logically a high percentage of rapes by pigs would go unreported because you can't expect a woman to report it to their fucking gang pals.
And those are just the ones we know about. Many aren't reported, and that's sure as shit not because of anything I've said or done, it's due to police misconduct; particularly when it comes to dealing with poor and/or non-white victims. They know the best they can hope for is nothing at all.
I hope you realise that your brilliant piece of advice would result in more women getting raped, not less, and more rapists getting away with it. It’s foolish and I expected better from you since your posts are otherwise intelligent and worth discussing. This isn’t - I can’t believe you’re saying it in earnest. Newsflash - anyone can get raped at any time by anybody else, regardless of sex and profession. That doesn’t mean that we should live in constant fear and stop participating in civilised society.
I don’t really care if you believe me or not, so you can keep the snark. I feel good about how things turned out, my only regret is that I couldn’t stop it from happening altogether, but that was sadly beyond my control.
I keep seeing and hearing people say this phrase on tv and the internet and the one thing i have to ask is WTf do you think u need to add incest as one of the reason....is it really running that rampent in your area that it is a huge problem....where im from that shits kind of frowned apon.
