This asshole tries to justify his assault and murder of a woman because she was out late at night<\/a>. Well, that’s expected. A rapist take responsibility for his actions? Never!<\/p>\n

He’s right about one thing though. The death sentence for rape per se<\/em> is a terrible idea. I’d written about this earlier<\/a> as well. Of course, it hardly applies to this particular case now does it? Nirbhaya was murdered, and not just raped. She was tortured as well. But he doesn’t have enough intelligence to see the difference. Anyway that’s his problem, not ours.<\/p>\n

Instituting the death penalty for rape will only delay the victim’s trial and suffering further. The appeals process will take longer as the sentence is sure to be contested all the way to the Supreme Court. Then the President will take his own sweet time (probably a decade) to deny or grant pardon. And only then<\/em> will it happen. Minimum time frame: 20 years.<\/p>\n

To make things worse, this will put victims in even greater danger. There is now an incentive to kill her rather than leave her alive. I don’t know about you, but I think that being raped is does NOT mean the victim life is “ruined”. She deserves a chance to rebuild – hopefully with the guy safely locked away for a long, long time. She doesn’t deserve to be a cold corpse in addition to being a rape victim.<\/p>\n

So no – I do not support the death penalty for rape. At all. And in that, I feel the low life rapist of Nirbhaya has a point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
