So are the rapists going to have to write seperate essays for the rape and murder or one really long essay to cover both?

Let's not get extreme, one essay is cruel enough already

I have a (former) friend who is in jail for murder after unknowingly selling fentanyl laced drugs and causing a fatal overdose.

He isn't a good man, but I feel in his case it was a bit overblown. He is a piece of shit but not a killer, in my opinion.

This fucking rapist? Premeditated. He is also a murderer. Full stop.

Expect to see him as a regular guest on Fox News in the near future.

That guy was seriously depraved. Throw away the key.

People really need to be better about who they let into their lives.

It's a shame watching these shitbags have their way.

I'm ok with violent rapists going free as long as we physically castrate or mutilate their genitals beyond sexual function.

also, tattoo "rapist" across their foreheads.
