Rapist are Scum

Gun Shy is going to call it like I see it, as I always tend to do. Rape is not about sex, because in this day and age there is more than enough consensual sex on the streets available for whoever is seeking it. Rape is about power and control, which in its finality is the violent and willful violation of another. I just read this story about an incident here in Orlando:

Woman escapes kidnapper before sexual assault

quote:
A woman was kidnapped at knifepoint while waiting for a bus in Orange County early Saturday. The victim was at the bus stop at Church Street and Ohio Avenue at 5:45 a.m. when a man brandished a knife and forced her into his car. The suspect drove the victim to Roosevelt Martin Park at 210 Bayshore Drive in Orlando where he attempted to rape her, but she managed to escape and run for help, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

The problem with this story, is that even though the woman escaped (thankfully) the rapist is still free to attack another victim in the future where he might be more successful.

Gun Shy would much prefer if the headline read as follows instead:

Woman With Shotgun Kills Rapist in Self-Defense

Please watch the above linked video and see if the readers agree.

Gun Shy has known and trained many strong and empowered women over the years. One of them who was only 5 feet tall kicked the snot out of a would be rapist while forcefully adjusting his equipment for him, and another chose not to be raped in a park, and instead exercised the right to allow her very feisty and extremely protective German Shepherd's teeth to have their way with the rapist instead. In both of those cases, Gun Shy was very pleased with the outcome.

It is no secret that Gun Shy admires strong empowered women:

There are some strong and empowered woman who are on the net blogging these days. You can read some of their opinions here and here, as well as here.
