I suppose I'd manage to feel much more sorry for her if she just shot him in self defense, didn't cut his fucking head off and would stop rambling about honor. Makes me sick.

A woman should be trialed for self defense and get away rather easily in such a case. But she should not "have every legal right to shoot someone she sees approaching her"! What is this, the middle ages?

Yes in this case, he did it over and over again for months and there was the point where she struck back. Understandable and forgivable, but her right? No. What if she shot him just before his first attack? "Yes, officer, I know he was about to rape me". Or maybe he wasn't. Where do you draw the line? You're talking about everyone taking punishment in their own hands and according to what they think will happen.

And you should know better than think that his horrible death is any deterrent for any other rapists out there. Do you honestly think they watch the news and go "Oh boy, I don't want that to happen to me, I better fight my urges, then..." Those people are sick, no deterrent will ever stop them. They have to get trialed and locked away for as long as they are a threat, no more, no less.

Makes me sick how often vigilante actions get applause lately.

I hope the woman gets a fair trial, a fitting punishment and stops ranting about honor, as if such a thing existed or mattered in such a case. I don't blame her for checking into the possibility of the abortion, though.
