....No? Why would I be? I didn't/don't want him dead out of any form of vengeance, I just feel that he crossed the line from "possibly redeemable" to "nothing but a detriment to the planet as a whole".

Don't be; I didn't personally know the guy. He was in jail for years and years (accidentally killed a guy in a bar fight).

You don't need much more than (a) some item of clothing (b) something at least 1-2 feet off the ground to tie it to (c) maybe 30 minutes unattended, tops.

Simple answer: Because any defense lawyer in the world will attempt to take the death penalty off the table. It's step-one; accomplishing that and nothing else at least means you've served your duty.

Give each of the victims 1/3rd of the cash needed to keep him alive for 50 years, a baseball bat, and 90 minutes. Problem solved, society bettered, and to hell with keeping people like this alive in prison.

So what, "reverse trolling" is a hobby now? Get a life.

I was in medschool, years ago. The answer was no. I'm actually a little weirded out that you would expect this to be common.

Yuuup. The first think I noticed was that the study seemed pretty biased from the start, something that scientific studies shouldn't come across as. Then you had the fact that they didn't include anyone under 35, which I thought was pretty odd. The fact that they lumped everyone into "physician" makes this data…

The quasi-hilarious thing is that I missed the last five-ish episodes of the series, and have yet to rewatch the last season. I always thought it was a pretty great show.

They do make non-alcoholic juice-flavored beer. It's called Juice.

Nope. I often wonder how much crack the developers smoked to have their mentor be an Elvis-impersonator-ghost. I think a lot.

You either haven't read a single thing I've written, or are absolutely clinically insane. At no point, whatsoever, have I said a thing about defending "the 'right' of rapists" to anything at all.

Actually, I know enough about the numbers to know that your 3% isn't based on rape charges or investigations, but instead a somewhat nebulous number including cases that are not even reported to the authorities. The percentage of REPORTED cases is significantly higher; the numbers were referenced in an early entry…

Are you just copy/pasting this or something? It doesn't seem to have any relation at all to my comment.

Um, did you respond to the wrong comment?

Ugh. I'm not talking about the physical act. I'm talking to what came before it. That was why I used "courting". Scream "rape" as much as you want, but BEFORE the physical act presumably came TALKING of some sort, which I cannot refer to as "rape" because there is no court of law that would charge him with rape if…

Thanks. Maybe I should have followed through with a career in journalism, but I probably would have blown my brains out years ago.

Ok, then what word would you use that does not make assumptions based on information you don't have? I don't know that he was specifically grooming her. I don't know if they had a "romance" leading up to the point. I don't know if he blackmailed her with grades. I know that the word "courtship" in and of itself…

I dunno. Maybe I'm used to trying to interpret shitty writing? Or maybe I'm just inserting what the person should have said, maybe was trying to say, but maybe was just thinking about chicken nuggets instead.
