135. what's your point?
Edited on Wed Jul-27-11 05:38 PM by iverglas
It seems to be a very dull one.

If someone had a weapon at my throat, my concern would be for MY LIFE, as I have clearly said I suspect this victim's was.

It certainly was my concern when it happened to me.

I did not say that I believed he intended to rob her and not kill her. No one will ever know that. I said she appeared to have acted reasonably in the circumstances by using force to defend herself against what she very reasonably perceived as a threat to her life.

So why did anyone need to drag sexual assault into it at all?

What -- is rape a fate worse than death?

So take your nasty demagoguery:

And we should take "The assailant"'s word that it is all he intends?

in which you pretend that I said that you should take the assailant's word that robbery was all he intended, when I did not SAY OR IMPLY OR THINK any such fucking thing, and find something entertaining if uncomfortable to do with it.
