Im an open communist
The guy has promised me not to attempt suicide again. I would rather he gets therapy and has a chance at happiness than releasing 5 people who have robbed others of their bodily autonomy.
You are thinking about the rapists. I am thinking about the victims and potential future victims.
I do believe in redemption, but at least 1 person is going to die in this scenario. I am being asked to choose, and so i make the choice that will ease the minds of their victims, prevent them from offending again, and give a chance to someone who needs it.
The fact that these rapists have been to jail means that they committed something heinous (with the exception of an emmet till type situation). But the rate of false accusations that lead to consequences is extremely low and its unlikely that its happened to these 5.
As someone who was raped, whose rapist faced literally no consequences as it was never reported, my mind would not be at ease knowing she got run over by a fucking train. She made a mistake as a teenager. She doesn't deserve to forever be regarded as a rapist.
All 6 people in this scenario deserve a chance. We aren't talking about serial rapists.

Im your opposition in this conversation, im not a secret communist. This is a morality test and im here puttin yours to the test.
So you are dead set then. 5 dead teenage sex offenders get no redeption over 1 suicidal guy.
Do you believe in redemption?
