Can we all agree that rape is worse than offending people?

      I never said harassment was worse. In the first sentence I agree with OP’s statement.

      However, the reason most of the assailants are not in jail is not because their crime wasn’t worse, it’s because they are minors. The 19 year-old assailant got 2,5 years jail-time and no probation. The others got between 0,5 and 2 years on probation, which is arguably worse than 3 days in jail.

      So, no the headline is not accurate.

      Edit: I just reread your post… you think the victim got jail time over harassing her assailants?! That’s what these rage-bait headlines do. It’s not about what actually happened. It’s about triggering the preconceptions of the consumers and pushing them farther into the extremes.

        @janonymous The headline is accurate. Remember, this is what it says:

        > GERMANY: Woman Convicted Of “Offending” Migrant Gang Rapists Receives Longer Prison Sentence Than The Rapists - The Publica

        What makes it accurate is whether or not it is true, whether or not it says what you want it to say. So long as the woman got a longer prison sentence than the rapists, which she did, than it is accurate.

          But she did not? She got 3 days, while the 19-year-old assailant got 2,5 years. I get the feeling you don’t read what I’m writing so this is my last response.
