Why did the White Bear facility choose the female criminal
instead of the man, who was probably the one who actually did the raping? Was
it because raping a man would be too graphic for viewers, but there are ways to
inspire the same emotions of raping someone other than rape? Was it because the
man was bigger and stronger than the female and therefore more of a threat?
Does that mean that the weakness of someone was used to punish them more than
the actual rapist, or was there another place where they punished the boyfriend
but wouldn’t they have mentioned that? The White Bear facility didn’t choose
the person who committed the worse crime, but the person who was easier to
punish.
Justice
should be blind, not measuring who it would be easier to put through hell. The
White Bear facility was unjust not because of the way they punished her, but
because of the way they chose her. They chose the weakest person of a high
profile case even though she wasn’t as bad as the actual rapist. The White Bear
facility used the idea that a woman would be easier to control and prevent from
harming the viewers than the man. The White Bear facility took advantage of
weakness and let someone off easy because of strength.
I agree with you. My personal opinion on why they chose the girl to torture instead of the guy is that since the victim was female, then the one getting tortured should be female so that she could experience the fear and confusion that the little girl felt. and yes the faculty at White Bear were wrong and to me...they are just as wrong as the woman and her boyfriend. .
ReplyDeleteThey chose the woman because the man hung himself when they first went to prison. I am not sure if they would have chosen the man to undergo this form of punishment if he was still alive, but I do think that his punishment by White Bear would have been different in that the facility molded the punishment of the woman to exactly what she did to the little girl. I do agree with you in that the facility was unjust and morally wrong in its punishment of her.
ReplyDeleteI actually had never taught of that, but I do agree with you that we tend to let our anger out towards those people who we know are not going to react aggressive against us. We choose to punish the ones that cannot defend themselves as a result we take out our relieve, but we also begin to build up anger on that weak person who may become strong because of the injustice that is been committed.
