    Maybe they leave you alone or maybe they use this as a claim to mobilize even more forces against you. I guess we will find out soon what happens.

      And, what? If there’s a house full of rapists nearby, and the rationale to just roll over and get raped is that if you do not, the rapist will just bring over more of his rapist friends, that’s a fucked up situation that I would assume everyone would agree has to be solved and ended.

      The very reason to fight against the rapist is to deter the entire house full of rapists to come over for easy prey. What are you talking about? Just let them do it is what you are suggesting? Even if you do see a car ripe for burning which could save you all from getting constantly raped? Of course you try the car. Doing nothing is just letting them do it and keep doing it, despite there being opportunities to, you know, end the entire rape? You’d want the rape to continue?

      I feel stupid having to explain this. You can not be serious, I refuse to accept that. Absurd.

        Can you please stay on topic? A rapist is a person with a mental disorder, they get deal with retention and psychological help.

          Duck and dodge. 1/10 attempt.

          Your essentially upset that they can disprove your stance so you look for someone trivial to some focus on. Entirely avoiding the issue. Extremely transparent.
