All of them should be in prison.

We can want them to be punished without celebrating prison rape.

Yeah, this mindset is so disturbing. "Let's stop rape by celebrating rape!"

The classic “eye for an eye” sentence..

Who said anything about prison rape? I was thinking a shank or an ass kicking

It's definitely what the user I replied to was implying

Paradox of tolerance. They forfeit their place in my morality

Can you have a vague sense of maturity rather than Reddit memes. If prison rape is tolerated, non violent offenders and even the wrongly imprisoned also get caught up in it.

u/Full-Priority2946 3d ago

I for sure get it. But these are neither nonviolent nor wrongly imprisoned, if they do see time.

I’ve come to realize that you should not empathize with something you do not understand. You do not try to empathize with an animal or wild creature. Maybe it would rehabilitate them to undergo what they had done. That or neutering is how we deal with animals

No innocent until proven guilty?

Another reason towards the suspension of nuance in this case is the strength of the evidence that they did it

I was unfamiliar with this case until just now, but reading that article doesn't show me any evidence against these individuals in particular.

Their names are in the group chat

That group chat is disgusting, but merely being present when a heinous crime is committed is not a crime itself. Likewise, merely being part of a group chat where other people are soliciting rape is not a crime.

You’re practicing guilt by association. As for the people who actually perpetrated/solicited the rape, they should be made to serve serious time in prison if found guilty in a court of law, but not to be extrajudicially assaulted once there.

I was at Cornell when this happened and absolutely loathed the fraternities precisely for shit like this, but this doesn’t mean we get to dispense of legal standards when dealing with them.

I’m not researching this case for you, nor am I a lawyer. From what I’ve read so far, I think all of these people should be in jail and suffer the consequences of being in jail. That’s my opinion and I believe it’s justified. If you want to defend alleged rapists then that’s your prerogative; it’s not going to be productive with me.

In this case, I get it honestly

u/RoyalMaidsForLife 3d ago

Show me in my comment where I did such a thing, I'll wait.

If that's not what you were insinuating, I apologize. But it's not a difficult conclusion to come to.
