And you keep missing the part where "society" isn't society-ing and has failed someone in the worst way. I'm saying that when this happens, it's the failure of society to do what it's meant to do that is to blame, not the victim who got shit on by said society and had no other choice for their own health and safety but to do something very uncivilized.
Please get it this time because I'm not going to circle back and explain it again.
Edit: What's all this "we" shit anyway? You live in Germany, not the US, and you got plenty of societal issues of your own right now, so this high horse bullshit isn't gonna fly here.
Oh fuck off with your what aboutism. I commented on the text in the image, which made it sound like someone murdered their rapist after a court let him go. And I will disagree with that kind of vigilante justice on principle. It might be understandable, I might not even be sad, but it's not something a civilized society can tolerate. I hope you finally understand that.
That is what happened.
On that we can agree. But your principles, and actual realistic expectations do not agree on this. I understand this and you don't seem to.
There you go, circling back again. So we can tolerate the rapist going free, but not the woman he raped making up for society having already failed to stop him? This convo is over.
Why can a civilized society release a rapist out in to the streets, but can't grant clemency to the person to made said streets safer? Does that sound civilized to you?
