Totally not worth it if they are convicted of sexual assault. Dumb.

Of course if this had been 4 men who glued a cheating woman's vagina shut, there would have been no bale.


And I would have made some joke about listening to the Go-Go's song "Our Lips Are Sealed".

You know, I say good on them, and anyone else that do something that ballsy.

I could tell you the story/s of some of the things I've done to men because they've been dicks...if you wanted to know.

I'm sorry, I'm just really bothered by that attitude. I think cheating men are loathsome, but sexual assault is more so.

Yeah, why is this okay?

Forget innocent until proven guilty--the article doesn't even say he "allegedly" cheated, that part is just the gospel truth. And, so what? Did his wife cheat on him? Were the women he was cheating with also married and living in infidelity? Had he cheated on her multiple times before and she knew about it, but stayed with him anyway?

We didn't ask those questions. Yeah, I'll be the tw in this thread. First principles are not established here.

And, in the final equation, brutal vigilante justice is not okay unless you are in a comic book.

I suppose that... because there is a history of violence towards women, perpetrated by men, we should chalk this one up to "payback" for all of the sins of history? I call bullshit.



FYI: In my previous marriage I was cheated on. I just left and got a divorce. That seems like a more appropriate response to me.

Or even just confronting him together, filming it, and putting it up on YouTube. Humiliation achieved -- without assault.

Yeah, okay--it's bad to cheat. What bothers me is all the snickers and laughs about the way they handled it. That's just mean, and I don't do mean.

There are things that are okay and things that are not okay.

Extreme situations test a person's parameters on this.

The true person comes out at these times.

I suppose it's better than actually castrating him with a butcher knife.

Relatively speaking, yes. Of course on the other end of the scale you have "none of the above" so it's actually pretty close.
