He freaking confessed!!!!! An innocent man doesn't do that!

But the story started a lot earlier than this. The rape of the child happened in 2008, but as early as 2004 the school had already issued a warning to Rambold to “avoid touching or being alone with female students” so they knew something was up. Then, after his initial arrest for the rape and pleading guilty to a felony count arising from the case…

So now, your the arbiter of which arguments are acceptable and who is allowed to make them.

Self righteous puffery indeed.

WOW, I NEVER though that I'd see the day when FReepers would be sticking up for child molesting rapists. The times they are a changin' and not for the better.

I'm on the Board of Directors for an organization that uses horses for therapy with children who have been sexually abused and/or traumatized. We serve clients from 4 - 17. The horrors these children have endured is beyond belief and it absolutely makes me sick to see grown men on FR trying to justify adults having sex with underage children. All of you who are justifying this behavior in any way are disgusting and need to be shunned!

[Valpal1]

There has always been a component of misogynists on FR. A certain type of male mindset that thinks conservatism is a great tool to beat women over the head with, much like they use the Bible to keep them in line.

I guarantee you that if someone did that to their child their attitude would change fast! Unless they’re total degenerates.

[IronJack]

If you think I’M making the case, wait until the media, Hollywood, and every left-wing wackjob from Dover to Dallas starts piling on. You’re going to need a better defense than “It’s the Boogeyman! Run!”

[Anton.Rutter]

And now it’s the normalization of “conservative” babyrapers.

Well, it’s a brand new world.

[2nd amendment mama]

Disturbing, isn’t it?

[IronJack]

It’s clear you’ve missed the point entirely. But if it makes you feel better to attack me than to formulate a coherent defense, I’m sure the enemy will thank you.

[2nd amendment mama]

But if it makes you feel better to attack me than to formulate a coherent defense,

What do we have to defend? You're the one defending abhorrent behavior! You're the one blaming the victim - the 14 year old that was RAPED! You're the sicko!
