"My lifelong journey is one of many emotional and physical prisons; I went from abused child to repeated rape victim to desperate teen mother to solitary confinement where the boundary of my world was a 6’x10” cinder block room. It’s a story of tremendous pain and suffering, but it’s also a love story about freedom, hope, survival, sisterhood, redemption, and forgiveness. It’s about learning to love myself and fight for myself and for others."

ultimately, she served her time and turned her life around, good for her. i thought this nation was proud of giving second chances?


Marked for posterity.

I shouldn't have to point out that what went on was at the psychopath level.... followed by showing no remorse for those heinous acts. There are people who deserve seconds chances but not pieces of shit like this lady.
 
You should be far more concerned about Trump because he is, after all, the POTUS. Donna Hylton AFAIK spoke for 2 minutes at one protest rally.

That, however, doesn't mean it was a good decision to have her speak. It wasn't.

It's pretty obvious you still don't have much grasp of what's going on. This is like a samaritan who gives a dollar to a homeless person, and a drug dealer using that opportunity to claim this sanitarian is the Real reason for the drug trade because that hobo might use it on drugs.

Treating that situation as some sort of legitimate debate is the reason why libtards lose despite superiority in every post-enlightment metric.
 
That was her speaking immediately following the crime. As a traumatized and severely damaged teen who had been violently sexually abused her entire childhood. She has said nothing like that since she served her time, got two degrees and went through decades of therapy. In fact, she has shown nothing but remorse and a tireless effort to help others.

Yes, immediately following her arrest for having a part in the long and brutal torture, rape and eventual murder or a man. What part of her earlier trauma has anything to do with what she said? Are you saying we should discount what she said because of her trauma earlier in her life?

Seriously, if this man wasn't murdered and instead survived and he went on to brutally torture and rape a woman over the course of weeks would you be defending him as well? The rape and murder are one thing but it takes a very special kind of evil to play a part in the torture of someone over a very extended period of time. She had a crapton of time to come to her senses and think about how horrible the situation was and she didn't. Instead she seemed to justify it by saying "he was going to die anyway". I truly get the part about being messed up from her earlier trauma but this is about as heinous of a crime as I can imagine.

Good thing we've got the conservatives who totally care about women's and gay issues here expressing their utmost concern re-litigating this person's case.

I don't, nor have I ever, been a cheerleader for either party. I am simply arguing facts and my own personal opinions. If you have an issue with the conservatives and what they are arguing I would suggest that you take that up with them. If I have an issue with them, which I often do, I shall do the same.

I suppose between being seen as a conservative and admitting to real trouble understanding the situation one is much preferable.

Since I am obviously not the former you are implying that I am the latter.

However, I understand the situation just fine. This man was not just murdered in a crime of passion. It wasn't a simple rape and then he was murdered. He was brutally tortured and raped for weeks. That gives a person a metric fuckload of time to think "omg, this is really fucked up I should try to stop this or at least stop participating" and anyone else is some sort of psychopath that shouldn't be allowed back into society ever again. This woman should have never been released from jail, I couldn't give half a fuck about her political views, she should be expressing them from prison.

Well said, and I completely agree. If for some reason real or imagined all these people cannot be executed, they should at least have their ability to export their evil be as severely limited as is practical for the rest of their lives.
