This is completely normal in our society, im tired of the blatant disrespect of our women, im tired of the blatant disregard for human life, im tired of people not saying shit, but what im tired of most of all... Is the penalty for these crimes being so minuscule. Rapists, and sexual predators aren't afraid of anything. They have NOTHING to fear when it comes to being penalized for their actions by the law. I feel that ANY type of rape or physical sexual assault should be punishable by the removal of whatever part of the body that was used during the assault. Women should not be afraid to walk by themselves, afraid to go to the gas station at night. There should not be fear of sexual assault in the minds of anyone and I opt to make that happen. The stats above are flat out fucking sickening, it makes me want to grab a group of really strong, like minded, and ruthless men, go on familywatchdog.com, and kidnap each person that I find and punish them according to the severity of their crimes...
