Utah Man Jailed For Alleged Wiimote Rape

[lion el jhonson]

despite the fact that this man was drunk... he was not in a well state of mind. you dont just get shove a wiimote up a 12 year olds ass because your mad at him. usually, (and this mostly happens when people are either worthless pricks or drunk because our society has become so pussified) a guy just wacks a kid because he misbehaved or because he didnt want to put up with the kids shit. No, this guy SODOMIZES this kid with a WIIMOTE... you dont do that. this man needs help and if he cant be helped then he needs to be locked up.not dead, because he admited to what he did was worng.

So....

Many....

Things....

Wrong....

I'm sorry, I'm BSODing from the amount of stupidity emanating from this guy. Do some people really have no self-control?

 

[cross_breed]

Oh, mercy... Why do I get the feeling Fox News is going to be blaming this on Bulletstorm by tomorrow morning?

 

[wilsontheterrible]

Wow, a lot of back and forth about the death penalty?! While I am loathe to get into the whole debate about whether or not the death penalty is right or wrong, I will say that I think it is decidedly not called for in this instance. Yes, this is an absolutely despicable, disgusting act, but as far as I'm aware the death penalty is only given for people found guilty of murder.

I'll take a crack at it. I don't think that the death penalty can reasonably called in under the current legal system. However, this does not mitigate my feelings that this individual should be killed.

Hopefully he'll be put in prison with a father. Justice comes in many forms, why not at the hands of another prisoner?

Out of curiosity, what's the scariest thing you're talking about? *lives in Utah*

The <url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Banner_of_Heaven>situation involving the mormons where two brothers brutally murdered one of their brother's wife and infant daughter because God had told them to.

the depravity of it, especially if you read the book, for no real reason for it to happen is just sickening. While yes, that pales in comparison to something someone else can probably think of, to me thats been the most horrible I've heard.

I really don't see how religion being a motivating factor makes it 'scary' or in any way worse than if two brothers murdered someone's wife and infant daughter because they wanted money. The victims certainly wouldn't care.

A little googling revealed in Hi-Fi murders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-Fi_murders) which, to me, seems just as worse if not even more horrible than what you described above, especially for the girl who was murdered.

As to the topic, I think the worst punishment you should give to anyone is life in prison. There are far more cases of innocent people getting thrown in for crimes they didn't commit than you'd think, but even so I find life in prison a more suitable punishment. It is essentially death, and allows those thrown in to reflect on their actions. What they knew before is gone and over and their new life is merely surviving until they die.

I think he should certainly get life in prison, but the prison system itself is greatly flawed especially when people think male-on-male rape is hilarious and deserved. I bet you if they took a woman who'd sodomized a young boy with an object and threw her in a male prison, those same people who think male-on-male rape is justice would have a hard time applying the same mindset to her. That is why there's an Eighth Amendment.

 

[Hitchmeister]

Though KSL claims that "object rape" is the key crime Parry is being charged with, the state of Utah defines that act [http://corrections.utah.gov/community/sexoffenders/76-5-402.2.html] as only technically possible with a victim "who is 14 years of age or older."

... why would anyone define a law like that ... you would have to explicitly decide for the age limit to be 14, which means that you would have to explicitly say, `if the victim is like ten or whatever then it doesn't count,' or something along those lines ...

The only justification I could think of would be if there were another crime warranting a far worse punishment if the victim was younger.

Good. I hope he gets raped with a shiv in prison; a little ironic justice.

No. That is both stupid and wrong.

He should just be taken to jail. That's it.

Oh really? Any more stupid and wrong than the fact that he raped a child?

I said it in the other thread, and I'll say it here;

This fucker deserves nothing better than death. Anyone willing to brutally violate the basic human rights of a CHILD has no place in society and deserves to be eliminated.

Fuck him, fuck all the ******s who will come to this thread to defend him/say the incident is funny, and fuck the U.S. legal system for the fact that this guy will get off with minimal punishment.

Yeah, we normally let people who have control over their emotions make decisions in the legal system. Normally.

 

[i7omahawki]

Yes, and what a way for the justice system to teach people that harming your fellow man is wrong, by murdering someone in cold blood, and inviting people to watch.

The people who enforce our laws have to be above the morality of the people who break them, otherwise they have no credibility. There has to be a difference between us and them.

I could go on... so I will. There is also the fact that when you choose to execute someone you are doing so first at the risk, however small, that the person you are about to condemn is actually innocent, and second, in the knowledge that by executing him you are eliminating any chance of them being reformed. That's the thing about killing someone. Whether you see it as justice or murder, if you get it even slightly wrong then you can't take it back. Besides, when you kill someone, they're dead and that's it for them, chances are they'll barely have time to feel any pain, if at all. The people who actually go on suffering are their families, and what crime did they commit?

Still think the death penalty is a good idea?

Not to mention that if this justice is meant to be 'an eye for an eye' kind of retribution, are we saying the kid's life is already over? That the child is basically dead?

I'll likely never understand the sheer suffering and difficulty of life after an incident like that, I won't pretend to. But what I won't admit is that the child's life is flat out over. I'm not sure that our perception of rape, and the revenge-hungry animal it unleashes in a lot of humans is good at all, even for the victims.

Roman Polanski's victim has said she suffered more because of the media than by his act. I think we need to learn from that. Don't react personally to an act that didn't happen to you. Even if you think you've been through something similar, you're different people and may handle it very differently.

Lock the guy up, study the fuck out of people like this to see what makes them tick, see if we can't prevent this sick stuff happening (as much as humanly possible), and (hopefully) rehabilitate them.

If killing is your only solution to the problem, how far do we take it? If you kill a murderer, they won't do it again. If you kill a thief, they won't do it again. If you kill someone who accidentally bumps into you, they won't do it again.

This thread is full of crazies. People who want to kill other people, or see them killed are mentally ill and need help.

Fox News is going to love this

 

[Alexander Cunningham]

I can't be the only person who clicked on the article because I assumed it would be about a man who raped a wiimote.

 

[Alandoril]

Well now that depends on whether it was actually sexual assault or a follow-up to the common threat that goes something along the lines of "say that again and I'll shove that up your a**e."

Not that that excuses his actions of course but that is an important distinction to make when considering the actual severity of the crime.

 

[Dragunai]

Everyone, please back up and make way for the inevitable media hype and the "concerned" (interfering) citizen Witch hunt against gaming in its ENTIRETY that is going to follow this story.

Yes it is sick, messed up and should not have happened and I do feel bad for the victim as his life is now scarred by this and it will make him emotionally fragile as a result.

However I can already smell the bonfire burning and the crucifix getting put with "Gamers" being the intended Witch.

 

[BoogieManFL]

And the parents let a drunk person around the kids why?

Could have been easily averted with common sense.

 

[Swifteye]

This thread is full of crazies. People who want to kill other people, or see them killed are mentally ill and need help.

That happens a lot in general when it comes to topics like this. Personally for me I'm just fine with the rapist going to jail and the kid getting whatever sort of help he request. It's doesn't feel fair on an emotional level given the trauma this may cause but we can't exactly deal with controversial situations on the ambiguous nature that is feelings. It has to be approached clinically.

Yeah I thought of that too, and that's probably it, but in that case you would think that the worse law would be the one they mention, rather than the one that doesn't apply anyway ... But I don't know much about Utah, so ...

Those weren't Mormons, they were FLDS (Fundamentalist Mormons.) They're a break off of the regular Church, and they're also crazy.

...this is why the Wii is bad. Why else would Nintendo design the Wii-Motes like that? Also,what kind of 12 year old boy owns a Wii?! Get a manlier system.

I laughed.

If the parents had bought the kid a real system this never would have happened!

Next thing you know the family will sue Nintendo for making an anally insertable controller, just like people sue toy companies for making parts small enough for their kids to swallow!

Thats a pretty terrible excuse. Thats like saying that if your friend asked you to meet him at the movies, and you got hit by a bus on the way there, its your friends fault you got hit by a bus! And im pretty sure you have to agree to something that says nintendo isnt responsible for any damage caused by the system, and small toy parts have warnings on them as well.

...this is why the Wii is bad. Why else would Nintendo design the Wii-Motes like that? Also,what kind of 12 year old boy owns a Wii?! Get a manlier system.

Are you suggesting Nintendo designed the Wii-mote like that for that specific purpose? Or am i just reading that wrong? And who said the wii isnt a "manly" system?

 

[Sir Shockwave]

Nicholas Parry is currently being held by authorities who allege he forcibly sodomized a 12-year-old boy with a Wiimote.

O.O...O.O...

...someone send this off to Nash on TGWTG ASAP! The world must know of this dickery!

(I made a bad pun there didn't I?)
