Can we all agree that rape is worse than offending people?

    I never said harassment was worse. In the first sentence I agree with OP’s statement.

    However, the reason most of the assailants are not in jail is not because their crime wasn’t worse, it’s because they are minors. The 19 year-old assailant got 2,5 years jail-time and no probation. The others got between 0,5 and 2 years on probation, which is arguably worse than 3 days in jail.

    So, no the headline is not accurate.

    Edit: I just reread your post… you think the victim got jail time over harassing her assailants?! That’s what these rage-bait headlines do. It’s not about what actually happened. It’s about triggering the preconceptions of the consumers and pushing them farther into the extremes.

      @janonymous The headline is accurate. Remember, this is what it says:

      > GERMANY: Woman Convicted Of “Offending” Migrant Gang Rapists Receives Longer Prison Sentence Than The Rapists - The Publica

      What makes it accurate is whether or not it is true, whether or not it says what you want it to say. So long as the woman got a longer prison sentence than the rapists, which she did, than it is accurate.

        But she did not? She got 3 days, while the 19-year-old assailant got 2,5 years. I get the feeling you don’t read what I’m writing so this is my last response.

          He’s not, he’s just trying to assert himself as right. I’m guessing he’s barely skimming your articles. He does that.

          Typical reactionary conservative
