- badqat, on 12/02/2008, -41/+352I know some oppose it as "cruel", but the way I see it, the death penalty is just another way of winning a Darwin award.
- tEhKewleSt, on 12/02/2008, -17/+199FTA "Under cross-examination from Hird's lawyer, Roger Eagles, the woman said she and Hird had been videotaped having sex before and she had agreed to it. They had also watched the footage together in the past, she said."
Now I know that doesn't mean he didn't rape her this time, but it sure is fishy... - WiretapStudios, on 12/02/2008, -1/+164Why would a video of rapping dogs be punishment?
- 1smartguy, on 12/02/2008, -15/+159Yea, this guy shouldn't be killed because there's a chance he could be innocent. It's not like they have solid evidence like a video of the crime.
- BluesFan, on 12/02/2008, -60/+197I'll make my own judgment after I see the tape.
- CoreyTamas, on 12/02/2008, -7/+112She asked for it? Yeah, you're probably right... what with all that sleeping in her own bed while he was outside the window screaming like a mental patient and stuff. I hate when chicks throw themselves at you like that.
- CoreyTamas, on 12/02/2008, -2/+93"Mr Eagles also said Hird admitted punching the other man but had never attempted to stomp on his head."
Oh. I guess that's okay then. - HCviolence, on 12/02/2008, -6/+92His next performance should be a re-enactment of the BME pain olympics.
- spaceddaisy, on 12/02/2008, -5/+82Just because you've done it before and have given consent before does not automatically mean consent for everything else after that at any time, place or for any act.
- axelgrease, on 12/02/2008, -13/+89Thats just sick
- ellem, on 12/02/2008, -18/+88uh... RTFA people. This is NOT a clear cut case of rape. In fact, it's questionable it was a rape at all.
- krellor, on 12/02/2008, -30/+94Yeah, tell that to the innocence project and the people who got out of death row after being wrongfully convicted...
- distressless, on 12/02/2008, -6/+64He broke into her house, she was in bed with another man, who he had to shove in a wardrobe after beating. Sounds like an ex boyfriend (I'm guessing) they didn't say how long ago it was that she had consented to sex with her now attacker. If she was afraid and wanted him to leave I would still call that rape. She may have been in fear of her life if he was that messed up. (thinking more the LSD and whatever else he's not admitting to then the pot)
Regardless of what they've done together in the past, this is still rape. - gamben0, on 12/02/2008, -2/+54Wait, aren't we cloning mammoths?
- doremon313, on 12/02/2008, -34/+83we should tape him get rapped by dogs and make him watch it
- inactive, on 12/02/2008, -3/+49I'd like to see some dogs rapping.
I bet they could spit that ***** and drop it like it's hot yo. - ScooterG, on 12/02/2008, -2/+47Buried for sensationalistic and misleading title.
Digg should make you take a quiz on the article before you can comment, because it's really apparent that the majority of the morons posting here did not. - Rockkybox, on 12/02/2008, -9/+53I know the search for questionable porn is a noble one, but can we leave it at hermionie granger and japanese tenicale porn rather than a lunatic taking a woman against her will?
- H4n90fThur5D4y5, on 12/02/2008, -1/+44Death penalty for rape is a terrible idea.
If a rapist kills his victim he has more opportunity to conceal his crime, and therefore less chance of getting caught. So, if the penalty for rape is death then a rapist has nothing to lose by killing his victim, and has more motive for doing so.
As a woman, I would very concerned if rape were made punishable by death. - VenDrake, on 12/02/2008, -0/+41This is why ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He82NBjJqf8 - paradisetonight, on 12/02/2008, -11/+50"He said the other man had not been forced into the wardrobe, but hopped into it himself and could have slid the door open at any time and left. "
- Edorey, on 12/02/2008, -0/+37Goatse's law says that no matter how ubiquitous an internet horror becomes, any reference to it will cause somebody, somewhere, to unknowingly look it up for the first time.
- bjs3171, on 12/02/2008, -26/+62uh....this would be real rape. ***** sicko.
- MelissaOfTroy, on 12/02/2008, -0/+35The thing that bothers me most about this is they mention a couple times how he was wacked out on drugs, and then it turns out he just smoked some weed at some point before the rape and took what was possibly (but he doesn't know) LSD. Aren't people informed enough at this point to realize marijuana isn't going to cause you to rape someone?
- Gareshra, on 12/02/2008, -3/+36You guys need to lighten up. He's obviously kidding. Besides, for people who are into that sort of thing, there's plenty of consenual bondage porn out there...
- jmpeagle, on 12/02/2008, -2/+34it's actually the reverse. You are less likely to die by another persons hand today than in any other time in mankind's history. We are actually abdsurdly peaceful even with the constant warfare in Africa and Middle East compared with even a few decades ago, and few hundred years ago, or thousands of years ago.
- bakaferret, on 12/02/2008, -0/+32"He pushed the other man into a wardrobe before repeatedly asking her for sex."
I'd really like to have more info about the other man...was he knocked out? I know he was punched but it doesn't sound like he was incapacitated. Unless he's an epic douchebag (or pussy) he should have been able to help the woman out. - Pahtcub, on 12/02/2008, -0/+31I don't get rape....nothing makes me more limp than someone yelling NO STOP NO in my face.
- thatsgoodkarma, on 12/02/2008, -4/+34Marijuana doesn't make you do that.
That dude is messed up by himself. - hairyjim, on 12/02/2008, -2/+30You've had someone yell NO STOP NO to be able to report it makes you limp?
- tEhKewleSt, on 12/02/2008, -1/+28I don't disagree with you, I'm sure the courts will figure it out. All I'm saying is there are two sides to every story, and being someone who has done enough acid to know, it doesn't make you into a violent rapist. And weed just makes you lazy and hungry.
Also, it's a little odd that a dude would sit in a closet and just watch while some guy raped his girl. He wasn't tied up or anything, I mean he could have at the very least made a break for a phone to call 911.
I'm not saying the defendant guy is a saint or even innocent, I'm just saying that there seems to be a little more to this story.
All that being said, after all the facts come out if he is guilty - send him away for good. - Stavrosian, on 12/02/2008, -1/+28Rapping dawgz, surely?
- CynicSight, on 12/02/2008, -0/+26I think for rapists it's not really about the sex. It's about the control and power aspect of it.
- iVisionX01, on 12/02/2008, -6/+32Or rather horse rape, it'll ***** him up inside.
- jgzman, on 12/02/2008, -1/+23Ommatidia: Yes, we would need to have a trial, even if someone was strangling a nun at the Superbowl, and it was captured on the jumbotron and every news feed in the world. It would be a pretty damn short trial, and I doubt any lawyer could wiggle out of that one, but it would be a trial nonetheless.
- jikmo, on 12/02/2008, -1/+22My god, I think you've come up with the best torture ever
- toastbot, on 12/02/2008, -1/+22"She had invited Hird to have sex with her because she thought it would mean he would then leave the house."--Does this sentence not make sense or is it me?
- graemee, on 12/02/2008, -5/+26Yeah, 100% sure O.J. did it.
- lennybird, on 12/02/2008, -4/+24I don't think that's what krellor was saying. Obviously this man did it, but it's not always so clear cut...
He's just saying overall, if you were to choose all for the death penalty or not, your decision would be based on sending an innocent person to death or a guilty person free. I'd rather a guilty person go free personally.
I think life in prison in general is a far more humane and mature way of dealing with scum who, unlike what most religious people would like you to believe, aren't evil, but had an extremely wretched and abused lifestyle beyond many people's comprehension. They need help.
I understand separating the "bad," from the, "good." That's what prison is for; that's their world. Because who are we to decide who lives and dies, and what's call for death? I think it's a step out of the dark ages.
Plus in a lot of ways, the death penalty is the easy way out anyway. Life in prison or death penalty? I think I'd rather see the other side. A person who murders and commits, "sins" obviously doesn't give a damn about the afterlife and whether there is a hell or not. - je12u, on 12/02/2008, -2/+22I think I just read that somewhere....
- spect3r, on 12/02/2008, -1/+20They are... outlawed
- Wildefire, on 12/02/2008, -0/+19Seriously though, what is up with the guy who STAYED IN THE CLOSET WHILE HIS GIRLFRIEND GOT RAPED???
- hurrayforschool, on 12/02/2008, -3/+21All of the people involved in that incident seem like great people.
- Cuchanu, on 12/02/2008, -0/+17Yeah, if anything, SHE was the rapist.
- poidh, on 12/02/2008, -12/+29Well, in the case of a death penalty, then it has to be a 100% sure conviction and not just "beyond reasonable doubt". That's a way around the "executing the wrong person" problem.
- Scrappy1850, on 12/02/2008, -1/+17marijuana makes you lazy.
- nomadxx7, on 12/02/2008, -3/+19My penis.
- Totz83, on 12/02/2008, -1/+17And forgetful,
and hungry -
