I dont disagree with this sentiment.
Your first statement though sounds like you are blaming the victim. An elderly person who is bedridden and abused in a home doesn't exactly CHOOSE to be a victim anymore than a small child who gets sexually assaulted by a parent/care-giver/trusted adult.... do they?
And there are still others who TRY to fight back and move on, but it is easier said than done sometimes. Not everyone can fight...
I really don't understand human beings sometimes. They get their underoos in a bind over a dog being killed but when they hear of human beings getting killed it is not such a big deal....
The dude deserves to be punished for his crime and should receive no special treatment for his *celebrity* status. When are people going to realize that athletes are NOT role models but highly paid entertainers?
