Yes, yes it is funny. There’s a whole category of humor called “black comedy” and this fits into that rather well. It’s also a good opportunity to express outright schadenfreude; in other words, since the guy who died was a total piece of shit, and because he’s dead and can’t be affected by what we say, we don’t have to feel bad for making fun of him.
None of us would belittle the woman’s suffering to her face, and I hope you don’t think we would. Of course it’s tragic. I myself was a victim of sexual assault committed by an adult family member when I was a child–it’s fucking awful. But the fact that a rapist died while committing rape is, quite frankly, fucking hilarious.
Different strokes for different folks and all that.
Yeah, it’s even smaller than Seadrift, where I grew up.*
I can’t help but be glad that he didn’t get away with this and I’m absolutely glad to know he won’t ever hurt anyone else.
*I always hated how Tivoli is pronounced Tie-VO-luh. I mean, I could live with Muh-HAY-uh (Mexia) and Reh-FYOO-ree-oh (Refugio), but the Tivoli thing just got on my nerves!
“God –> Rapist” = “Microsoft –> OS lock up for no apparent reason”
It’s not how it’s handled that’s the problem, it’s the existence & tolerance of the condition. Plus, I mean, every creature God ever made is dead or will be so soon. Looks like failure to me.
Yeah I don’t get this story either. So one rapist dies in the act. Bound to happen occasionally. I guess the score is now rapists 10,388,732,873,269,232, victims 347?
Random chance during long periods of non-events is just random chance. This happened during an event or period of activity that stands apart from the days around it in the monsters life of relative inactivity . I could say she did and be right just by her being the one victim who triggered the monster’s cardiac arrest. I could say she did and be right if ever comes up in the autopsy that there’s a hole the width & depth of a knitting needle. I could say she did and be right if the evil SOB begged for an ambulance in chest pain and she rolled on top of him to keep him from the phone.
She did it, intentionally or unintentionally or some mixed bag of what falls between. You’re assuming that I’m assigning intent as opposed to involuntary presence and involuntary participation. To me, she’s just the hammer that he beat his own brains out with and I’ll leave intent to first hand witnesses, forensic science, and some phony caveman institution called Og.
But if he just happened to have a heart attack due to over exertion, I don’t see how that would be due to her in any way–that would be his decision to rape someone.
Well how sexy was her girdle, and what kind of message did the front of her house send to passers by? Had she been taking medication? There are so many questions we need answered before we can be sure she didn’t just cry rape and kill some poor innocent man who misread her cues.
