Good to hear man, It'll all work out!

   

It is hard to know how to feel when you're on the periphery of other folks' troubles. You've demonstrated a lot of compassion, Commander, in even questioning your feelings here, but you're right not to trouble yourself too much over it. For someone to kill themselves, there must have been a ton of other shit going on that you weren't privy to.

   

Other than the "bleeding heart leftist" part I agree 100% with Hurley on this. Good riddance to garbage, thanks for saving the taxpayers a bundle of money to lock up this scumbag.

   

This is probably the first thread I've seen just about everybody agree here. It's amazing. Whoever knew a dead rapist would bring people together.

   

Well, it's pretty much a non-issue - why would anyone expect you to be concerned with the suicide of a rapist that you've never met or known?

   

It's not really any-wing. The prisoner, with so much guilt on his conscience, chooses to kill himself to save himself from being raped in the butt. No death sentence required.

   

You're taking me too seriously,

   

Good riddance to bad rubbish is IMHO.

And I don't blame you one bit, especially because I went through something similar.

An ex-GF of mine once dated a real scumbag. He was a drug dealer, addict and stereotypical lowlife who spent his life in and out of prisons. She always liked the bad boy type and fell in love with him, running off to Vancouver, despite family and friends telling her not to waste her time with this guy. At first he was a gentleman, but once her money ran out, he got abusive. He beat her, cut her with broken beer bottles, burned her with cigarette butts (she still has the scars), you name it. She also had to make sure he didn't die several times when he OD'd. He made her get a job, and then cheated on her with their neighbour while she was at work. She wanted to leave him, but was in love with him and pregnant. While she was pregnant, he got arrested and sent to prison for 9 months.

Instead of running back to Edmonton, she stayed in Vancouver and waited for him. When he got out, he started abusing her again and she finally mustered up the courage to leave him (only because of their son), coming back here. He followed her and begged her to give him another chance. She refused and he went back to his hotel room and Od'd. This time, with no one around to help him, he died.

The first time she told me this story I was physically ill and couldn't finish dinner. To this day, I have zero sympathy for someone who was such a POS.

   

ok, correct me if i am wrong, but this is what i get from what you've said....in a nutshell:

you met this chick online and chatted for a while, she divulged that she had been sexually assaulted by some douche bag who was now following her, long story short he killed himself while waiting for trial.

now some questions:

did you ever PHYSICALLY meet this girl? or talk to her on the phone?
did she send you any pictures?
is there any reason for you to be attached to this girl?

I ask these questions because IMHO you are freggin WAISTING your emotions dude, and not just because this scumbag killed himself....how do you know this girl is telling the truth....or is even female? how do you know this person didn't just pick a local news story and decide to tell it to you for...some...reason. your claim that you can tell if someone is lying to you better through typing, heh, well lets just say i've been waiting for a guy like you to offload some prime real estate in Florida

I just really want to know is why you have emotionally attached yourself so readily to this person? do you ball yourself up in a dark room EVERY time you hear of a violent act?

I would say well.....who cares?...sorry...but women get raped every day in this country ALONE, terrible yes, do these rapists deserve to die, yeah....should you be upset to the point that it effects your life in a negative way when you hear of a rape of a stranger? no, should you continue to be upset when you learn that the alleged rapist committed suicide? HELL NO.

IF this person is telling the truth, I wish her all the best of luck in her rehabilitation and if you keep chatting with her online to help, good for you.

But as for being upset over this whole situation, you need to give your head a shake man, life's too short to waste it worrying about shit like this.

   

A question I've wanted to ask as well, since I first read this thread.

   

Now there is a guilt trip...

   

Really, though - if you hear about the suicide of a guy that you've never met and you've never known anything about apart from the fact that he beats and rapes some girl you also don't know, I'm not sure why you'd even question whether or not you should be 'upset' by his suicide; you're about as removed from the situation as you could be.

   

It's even worse, her son blames her for 'killing' his dad, because she wasn't there to prevent it.

   

how old is her son?

   

He was 11 when I dated her, he's probably about 15-16 now.
