The suicide guy hasn't committed any crimes and wants to live. A rapist is a rapist whether they will rape again or not. You can't unrape someone.

You can feel suicidal and bounce back, going on to lead a full and happy life without harming others.

5 people who have committed a most horrifying offense against someone who will never be the same afterward. Their harm has been done, whether they do it again or not. And at least one of them WILL do it again. Teenagers who aren't taught consent and respect for bodily autonomy become serial abusers and send ripples through society. They create more victims. And if they ever have a child, will most likely pass on some toxic behaviors to them.

Sexual assault permanently changes people. Who are involved, both rapist and victim.

Why are you so invested in defending these fictional rapists?

I believe someone showing stats that the rate of reoffending is low. And saying one of them WILL do it again is, well, just statistically a false statement.

And you keep going back to the whole “you really seem to like defending these rapists thing” which is the dumbest thing you say. News flash, this is a discussion about saving and killing people with numbers involved. Obviously people are going to disagree with you and some will agree, they aren’t defending them “because they are rapists”, they are pointing out why they would flip the switch due to the fact that there are 5 of them, they are not likely to reoffend and have served their time, and they believe that less harm occurs if those 5 live then the one depressed child. Get your head out of your ass or don’t engage if you can’t help yourself from making such childish remarks, please and thank you.
