I am a victim of a rape. It is how I lost my virginity. I was completely destroyed and I suffer from PTSD. I live my life in fear. I have such a social anxiety now that I have avoided college (I was an honors student). Some days I would rather not eat than go to the store. I have been to a therapist and on numerous medications, but I get no relief. I have constant nightmares in which I re-live the entire rape. If a guy even looks at me when I do go out, I start to wonder if he is going to follow me. How on earth can you say that these people do not deserve to die? This guy took my soul. I am an empty shell now. He killed me. You just don't understand what it is like to have someone make you feel so disgusting... or what it feels like to have your neck being crushed by someone else's hands... or to wonder what death will be like when your vision starts becoming blurry. I used to think I was so powerful, but now I know that anybody could hold my life in their hands at any second. Study after study shows that they cannot be rehabilitated. People like you make it so that these people will be back on the streets, doing what they did to me. I wouldn't wish that on my enemy. It's just such a slap in the face to hear people make the rapist/murderers victims ("they have compulsion problems"). How do you not stop when someone is pleading for their life? When they are crying and screaming? How do you look at that person, smile, and then hurt them even more? I would watch the guy that raped me burn alive and it would be no burden what-so-ever. Hell, I'd even light the match if they'd let me.
