Agreed, Saddam Hussein shouldn't have been hung. Serious thought should have been put into discovering what in his brain made him do that.
It's called being bat shit crazy.
You are not making an attempt to empathise with the rapist here because you're blinded by your anger
It's not anger, It's more or less
RAGE my trying to grasp an illogical concept. I can understand you sympathizing.
but evidently, this person is much different from you
No shit. I don't go off and rape children. [sub]I prefer animals instead[/sub]
I would assume that they wouldn't be as well educated as you have the fortune to be
That's their fault.
they have obvious mental problems and they don't know how to control their own sexual urges.
Again, that's their fault. I have urges as well but I make sure I find somebody who is around my age.
So yes I think you should sympathise with him, and the child.
I'd sympathize with the rapist if he had done it once and had tried to straighten out after that, however he loses any of my sympathy and/or respect when he went off and raped another child.
The children on the other hand does get my sympathy, as this will be something that will be brought up for the rest of their lives and will be used against them in high school.
