>>T. J. Parsell was a lanky pimple-faced adolescent bent on mischief. So when he found a toy gun one evening in 1978 while wandering home from a high school party, he thought nothing of pointing it at a store clerk and grumbling, "Your money or your life." <<

Hahahaha. . .what a jokster. Just a little harmless fun. . .bad thing that happened to him, but his own actions put him there.

Ha ha, what a sensitive soul you are.

He was sentenced to jail, not to rape.

What he did was wrong, but nobody deserves to be raped in prison except child rapist themselves.

Those comments and attitude will go great on the liberals' posters to show how stupid conservatives are.

It's far from a joke to get repeatedly raped in prison. There are some prisoners I would wish it on but not very many

I agree with you but no one deserves rape as a punishment. Thats what those bastards in Pakistan do to women who "dishonor the family."
As far as I am concerned rape is worse than death. Its the deliberate attempt to rob a person of their soul.
We need to do whatever possible to eliminate prison rape. My suggestion: Prison Work Camps with Hard Labor. They will be too busy and tired to rape.

I agree, his actions put him there. Yet unless I am mistaken, "forcible rape by a homosexual prisoner" was not part of his sentence. It is not just, and people need to stop overlooking it. They have broken the law and deserve punishment, but prisoners are also deserving of dignity as people made in the image of God.

If Rush Limbaugh goes to prison for drug abuse, does he deserve to be raped?

Rape is cruel and unusual punishment. The Consttution prohibitis it.

His own actions put him in jail...rightfully.

But no one should be tortured with gang rape while waiting for due process or serving one's term.

What happened to him was far far worse than what he did, and what is worse is that you and I share responsibility for it since it is the government that represents us that allowed it to happen.

So let me get this straight....by your train of thought a person who goes to jail for excessive unpaid parking tickets or littering and then gets gang raped in jail....its ok cause that person was in jail in the first place? Thats pretty sick thinking.
