The victim appeared before the court on Tuesday and asked for the maximum sentence, according to WBRZ. She spoke of the incident where Mystikal “choked her, pulled braids out of her hair and forcibly raped her.” After she spoke, the rapper told the courtroom, “If I did that to you, I deserve the max sentence.”

      Being imprisoned is already quite a large punishment.

      Rape is an act of torture. Wishing for more rape doesn’t help anything or anyone

        “large punishment” compared to being literally raped by a man bigger and stronger than you? Not knowing if he’ll kill you after? Raping someone is not some simple mistake, it’s several decisions made on top of each other. People with that level of disregard for another human will get zero sympathy from me.

          And yet you wish to make others experience that same fear and pain. Should we have zero sympathy for you?

          I understand, I really do. But I still strongly believe that no one deserves to be raped.

              You’re arguing FOR rape. Be for fucking real.

              No one called you Hitler. Getting your feelings hurt because you got downvoted is not the same.

                You’re the one defending him only getting 20 years in prison is enough to justify his actions.

                Oh. Poor fucking rapist. He raped someone and is getting 20 years in prison. That’s enough of a consequence as it is. He doesn’t deserve any more punishment because prison is enough. JFC.

                  Calling you out for wishing someone becomes a “prison bitch” and be raped over and over again isn’t pitying rapists.

                  Your feelings were hurt enough that you deleted that disgusting comment.

            I never said I wish it to happen. I said I wouldn’t really care if it happened. Why would you have zero sympathy for me? I haven’t raped anyone because I understand how fucked up it is. I think everyone knows that, yet some people do it. So yes, if that rapist gets raped himself and experience the sheer horror he himself put someone else through, then I would be completely indifferent.

            This whole idea of “poor evil people” is why shit is the way it is in the west now.

          Wholeheartedly agree

          But it’s ok because they pity the man who has no regard or respect for other humans. Fucking stupid.
