How to defend against rape (finnish police advice)

What the majority thinks and what those who administer the law think are two different things. The system has far too much empathy for those who break the law and none for the victim of it.

Not necessarily.

Defending yourself from a rapist doesn't necessarily result in their death, however "kill that s.o.b wit ha handgun" necessarily does.

Not all rape occurs in dark alleyways. Sexual assault often occurs via people you know.

Can't believe people are disagreeing with you. If someone tries to rape someone they have forfeited their right to life. What the hell is wrong with justice in Northern Europe (including the UK)?

Defending yourself doesn't necessarily have to involve a handgun. In most courts of law I believe you would be expected to attempt to defend yourself whilst leaving them alive if you possibly can.

I never said I disagreed, but I do not think I am allowed to decide whether somebody has forfeited their right to life.

Angry is very religious, so I wanted to ask her is it fair that she ends the life of her rapist, because then her rapist can't then ask for forgiveness (and he/she will be forgiven if he/she asks, right?) but then I didn't want to bring religion into it sooo yeah.

But no, I posted that link to the Brazilian man who raped his own 1 year old step son and killed him. He handed him self into the police and in prison, he was gang raped and beaten by 20 men. He was taken to the hospital and had stitches in his anal area...

But what the story doesn't tell you.....is that.....well....the men did it again. They ripped all the stitches out and gang raped him numerous times. I've seen the picture. It's bad.

My point is, is that bad things happen when people take 'justice' into their own hands. Did that man deserve it? Well....It's not my place to say.

At what point do you shoot the rapist? At what point is it rape as opposed to assault? How do you distinguish between attempted rape and assault, for example, if the man/woman grabs you in the dark alleyway, do you whip out your gun and shoot then?

US stats but I'm sure somethng similar can be found for the UK

Do you feel the same way about murder?

My definition of murder constitutes unprovoked attack, if someone tries to murder me I shall kill them and I don't care for their poor suffering in the process one little damn bit. Don't want to get killed? Don't try to murder/rape me

So if you're at a bar on a night out, and somebody attacks you for no reason, they're trying to murder you, and thus, your response is to kill them before that happens?

Yes that is correct.

It sort of is your problem though since it's very possible you'd be sent to jail.

I'm not suggesting they ARE in fact trying to kill you, I'm just saying that because the attack is unprovoked, YOUR intepretation is that they are trying to kill you?

You'd still kill that s.o.b?

Of course, but if it is possible to escape the situation alive with minimal harm to yourself without killing the attacker, one would be expected to do so. Killing the attacker would only be acceptable if it were the only way to escape and minimise harm to yourself.

Ultimately it would have to be judged whether you intended to kill the attacker for the purpose of self defence, or whether you intended to kill him no matter what.
