Apr 2015

At one point, after a sleepless night, by making a comment about a rapist that raped a 90 year old woman being put in the general population so he would know the pain. It was stupid, an emotional response and I never should have said it. My only hide and I deserved it.

What blew me away was the fact that multiple other comments on that thread advocating torture, stood. I thought at the time that was odd. Now, I am afraid that it was because people don't care what happens to anyone that committed a crime. F4lconF16's post today and yesterday are filled with people calling for torture.

I don't know this country anymore.
