Why do you want to make a hero out of rapist by the manner you are when 
they are criminals who make women a victem forever?
     I don't. And don't even try to imply that I do.

It does not matter what sex the perpetraitor is, the punishment should 
fit the crime, and it has in past.
The American case is the first exception that has ever occured.
     The American legal system is also the first one that has admitted that
the government CAN MAKE A MISTAKE! If you convict an *INNOCENT* person (which
10% of the people in America currently sitting in jail are), and castrate
them, you have just destroyed someone's life even more than the rapist
did to the victim.
     And, let's not forget that the American legal system is the least
likely system, currently, to convict an innocent person.

I know people have made heroes out of Bonny and Clyde and other s who 
kill and take freedom away, but why is that mindset a part of American 
culture?
     I don't know why people made heroes of people like that.
