The thing is though, can you compare an execution with rape? Now obviously I really loathe rapists and would like to see them suffer equally to what they did to their victims, but murder is finite, rape you can live through. Horrid though the crime of rape is, I don't think it's worth a life.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
