Non-sims related: you can help

[freezetomorrow]

I am aware that this is a sims-journal, and not a soapbox, and this is probably what you didn't want to hear or see. I am also aware not all of you will be interested, or have seen it before, but I would like to just link you to this post on omtd - 8 Year Old's Rapist Gets Extremely Light Jail TermTo outline the article, in Korea, an eight year old

Holy fuck.
I just barfed in my mouth.
And then signed the petition.

Assfaces like this deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Thank-you. :)

Damn straight I'll be signing this. Screw a harsher sentence - I'll get a passport and have him drawn, quartered, and sliced into tiny pieces myself!

If only - he's probably in police protections. S. Korea is outraged, even their PM said he should have been given a harsher sentence.

Hmm... Recently in school I had a class discussion over whether minors in the United States should be able to get a life sentence in jail for crimes such as rape. Many of my classmates thought a lifetime sentence was too harsh for a minor, saying "they still have time to change." And I thought, "What about the girl? The guy gets a chance to change, but the girl... she's DEAD, you know?! She doesn't have a chance to change HER life."

Whether it's a fourteen year old boy, or in this case, with the 50 year old man, I think they should all be punished severely, and life in jail doesn't sound harsh for a rapist. Personally, I don't care if they were drunk, under aged, peer pressured, whatever. It was interesting to see that no one brought up the female's POV.

Sorry for this extremely loquacious comment, but I felt the need to rant ... honestly, these sick people should all be exterminated from the planet.

I agree: I don't believe in capital punishment, simply because death is too good for some people.
This child will have to live her whole life knowing what happened. Even if her body heals up perfectly, there will be major psychological scars. Simply speaking, her life as a normal child is over.

I think he has an illness, and cannot control his compulsions to rape and maim. He needs medical treatment, a chemical castration if that is the only thing which will stop him. He should not be allowed to mix with normal society, imo - if he's done it eighteen times, he is very capable of doing it again. Will they give him a harsher sentence if next time he kills someone? Will another person have to suffer before he can finally be put away? Idk

I just signed the petition... I feel so bad for that poor girl, I hope that "man" will spend the rest of his life in prison.

I hope so too. :( Thank-you for signing.
