Give \'em what they deserve!

Another day with too much time on my hands....

This will serve the bastards who get victimized by it right:

Ow.

 

[Equus]

Double ow...but more power to \'em.

That sounds like a pretty hefty device.

Also sounds like vigilantiisme. It\'s probably not a great deterent, either. Still, and perhaps most relevant, perhaps justice will be served more often through the use of this device.

Hell, I don\'t care about the deterrent value, it\'s about vengeance for me. Give the bastard something to remember the rest of his miserable life. But if it leads to more rapists being caught then that is great.

EDIT: Actually, a deterrent would be much preferable. Nobody should have to be in a situation that requires a device like this. But in the absence of said deterrent, make the worthless scum pay dearly.

wouldnt it be more dangerous...

for the victim.. The the rapist gets nabbed with this thing, isn\'t he going to take his rage out on the victim?

Instead of 1.5 million rapes, will it end up being murders instead?

Good point. I wonder just how much it would incapacitate him? As usual, I am starting to regret starting a thread (sorry Finn )

First I\'ve heard of it...

... and it\'s been controversial?

supervike got it dead right, rape would turn into murder. I simply cannot believe that any woman would use that device. They don\'t expect to get raped, certainly not enough to warrant shoving that thing, uhm... somewhere... Rape happens, it\'s never anticipated.

And considering the cultures here in South Africa, it would never, ever be acceptable. The \'shame\' at being caught with it (or caught by someone caught by it ) would be thoroughly demeaning and indignifying. You have to understand the cultures to understand.

Never gonna happen! (Till someone proves me wrong)

There has to be a better way to stop rape.

Aye! Indeed, the trouble is that the rape has already happened. I\'ve spoken to a rape victim, and she quite clearly said that the penetration didn\'t bother her as much as the absolute helplessness, powerlessness and despair. It\'s said often enough that rape is a hate crime, or a crime of violence, not lust.

Thinking from a rapist\'s point of view, I\'d probably insert something else to get nabbed before poking my chopper in anything that\'s potentially got teeth. And then watch the violence begin as that little victory adds to the power-rush.

I am glad to see that someone is trying to come up with ideas, but I just don\'t think this thing will stop rapists. The poor gal will get beaten or killed.

Unfortunantly you are right.

That doesn\'t go well with the barbarian image, Steve!

Exactly. Rape is a crime of violence primarily, I\'m sure the consequences in many cases won\'t be desirable.

And I apologise for sinking into the gutter with this but unless there\'s also an anal version...

Now if the device could inject a powerful poison that works instantly ...then worrying about getting murdered afterwards would be moot.

average CMON user: ...\"Eww, ok maybe today isn\'t such a great day. And I am feeling a twinge of anger, Maybe I\'ll click on this thread entitled \'Give them what they deserve\', that should cheer me up!!

moments later

average CMON user.\"maybe I\'ll delete my account...no maybe I should just shoot myself....what? its ILLEGAL to shoot myself\" NOOOOOOOOOOO!

NarratorIs this place depressing today, or is it just me?

I for one would like to thank Primeval for giving us topics to make us think.



Granted my one lonely little gray brain cell is about ready to explode, but who asked “it” any way..lol
