Letter to the editor: Rapists: Go to Hell
Issue date: 4/12/07 Section: Opinion
- Page 1 of 1
Well, it is spring and the rapists have come out of their winter hibernation. In the last month, women have been attacked on the
Longleaf Trace, abducted and gang raped in Hattiesburg, and raped on the USM campus.
As a rape survivor/thriver, let me just say this: go to hell, you bastards. Women (and other men and children) are not put on this planet for your use and abuse. I am sorry if you are feeling powerless or if you get off sexually by hurting someone, but you have absolutely no right to use another human being to satisfy your own twisted desires.
Our country is built on the idea that each of us individually have the right to be secure in our person/body and our property. The Constitution protects against government encroachment on these rights and our criminal law forbids assaults and batteries against persons.
So, you are twice expected to respect all other human beings (yes, you too, Mr. Davis, since an assault can be verbal), simply because they are human but also because they are citizens of this country (or, at least, under its jurisdiction). Yet, since I doubt this argument will not stop you from your evil behavior, how about this thought: your karma will get you in the end (pun intended), probably at the hands of someone like yourself in your prison cell.
