The same people would shoot the man for taking anything else they considered their property. It was never about protecting the woman, it was about protecting something the man considers to be one of his possessions.
They fantasize about shooting people who go after their property, and they view the women in their lives as property. (Some simply fantasize about shooting people for any reason whatsoever.)
My response to that is "Casey Anthony wasn't proven to have killed her daughter, would you let her babysit your child/grandchild?" Hell, Casey Anthony wasn't even found liable of murder.
Yeah but he didn't rape THEIR daughter so they don't care. The cornerstone of conservative ideology is whether or not they are directly affected by something.
Both of Trump's wins were about the LGBTQ+ community. First time the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. This time, it is about the Trans rights the Democrats support.
Fear of black men raping white women was the rational for many lynchings. White men can only be guilty of rape if they use a weapon and are a stranger. /s
That's not true! They would 100% shoot a person who raped their daughter...because they didn't pay for it. Keep in mind, these are people who essentially sell their underaged children to older people to get married
You misunderstand, they'd shoot the other guy because the wife/daughter's bodies are their property and they're jealous of the other guy taking what's theirs, especially the daughters body that they want themselves but can't openly take.
They only want a reason to shoot a man they dont care why. They'll have to find a new reason to shoot a man now that rape isn't the moral highpoint anymore.
Those people are uninterested in justice. They just want permission to be violent so they can feel "powerful" in a manner they yearn for but know is unacceptable.
It's the same reason "preppers" stockpile beans and ammunition while completely ignoring the ACTUAL necessities of survival like agricultural tools and navigation systems - they fantasize about the violence they could enact if they were given the freedom to hurt people without personal accountability or consequences.
They only fantasize about shooting a sexual assaulter. It makes them feel tough, badass, like a hero of the Wild West... and it justifies the gun culture they've co-opted. In reality, they'd freeze and shit their pants when presented with a real opportunity to be the hero.
I grew up in the rural area of a red state. You'd be surprised what happens and gets covered up. My boyfriend is a corrections officer and he has a couple inmates that are in prison for that. Also a sheriff in KY last month just killed the judge in town cause he found out he was messing with his daughter.
Well that’s a bright side. I wish that is what happened here — in my rural town sexual assault has happened to a lot of my close relatives and was absolutely covered up or had one side of the family in denial. In my experience the thing protected is the abuser not the abused. Thank god at least one of them finally died of old age
Cops often have a hard time identifying a shooter in an active situation because so many 2A bros are running around with their licensed carry. Not looking for the aggressor mind you, but fleeing for safety.
Or shoot their daughter when she's sneaking into the house after curfew. They're cowardly bullies that want to pretend happily punching down makes them tough.
No, they'd likely panic, shoot themselves, shoot their kid, or other innocent bystanders because real life isn't a fucking Movie. They're not going to see the bad guys coming in a black van in a panning shot approaching and watch them pile out with black masks and AK's. They're going to hear a shot, turn see someone with a gun fire wildly at what is most likely another NRA/Maga fuckwad, hit his wife, that fucker returns fire, and the guy who's car just backfired drives off wondering what all 1/?
Hey now that's not fair. They also fantasize about shooting POC, LGBT people, poor people, young people, old people, democrats, republicans, their neighbors cockatiel, and sometimes Canadians.
ApothecaryGrant
These are people who happily disown their children for not voting Red.

sleepyskellybones
except actually not cuz my friend's dad who's a cop did nothing when she told him how her ex-husband assaulted her
SerialChickenLover
(it’s because they fantasize about it being a Black man)
3dartwork
I'm so frustrated where we all know what this asshole did, but I do nothing but hear "he never was proven to have done this or that."
Layinginbed
My response to that is "Casey Anthony wasn't proven to have killed her daughter, would you let her babysit your child/grandchild?" Hell, Casey Anthony wasn't even found liable of murder.
walnutbreath
Same asswipes that will fly their daughters to Canada or Europe for an abortion. They're just not good people.
secretman180
They're the ones most likely to be doing the raping.
It's not about women's safety, it's about enforcing their property rights over women.
Burke616
They don't care when people get raped, they just want an excuse to shoot someone.
kerms
Yeah but he didn't rape THEIR daughter so they don't care. The cornerstone of conservative ideology is whether or not they are directly affected by something.
ahorseelbowdeepinme
Yeah, but he didn't rape THEIR daughter, wife, sister, etc. so it's totally different. /s
Tommyknockerman
I'd shoot a man that sexually assaults my wife/daughter/sister/mother/neighbor/husband, and I voted for Kamala.
Layinginbed
Exactly! You aren't a hypocrite
elvisdumbledore
If that were true they would have shot themselves a long time ago.
MKUltraMega
Bonsaipanda
+ Epstein pedophile, human trafficker, etc.
Shizzstains
They also care about "fairness" in women's sports, but support policies that physically harm all women and restrict their access to healthcare.
Layinginbed
Another good point I hadn't thought of
kinarism
You're missing the point. It's not their daughter. They don't care.
GuysJustWannaFish
No. They voted for a rapist for president three times in a row. For 12 years.
Dustorm
I don’t think they’d shoot themselves.
Yupurineutah
They don't give a fuck about your daughter. They only care about their breeding stock.
MissSiesta
This. Women are cattle to them.
Layinginbed
Not my daughter, their OWN daughter
Clara93
They don’t give a fuck about her either. It’s just an excuse to shoot someone
YeroctheBarbarian
That’s because they think the people who do that are LGTBQ. They don’t want to shoot rapists, they want an excuse to shoot people they hate.
Banzai51
Both of Trump's wins were about the LGBTQ+ community. First time the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. This time, it is about the Trans rights the Democrats support.
amglasgow
Let's be fair, they think the people who do that are black and brown.
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
They should hate rapists

Actually if they’re certain religions, their daughters will have to marry the rapist.
HighMagosSquidward
I think that's just a manifestation of violent fantasies. "The American Dream is the Justified Kill"

Child* rapist
dirtmarker
That thought is the only thing that gets their dick hard anymore.
OptimisticMisanthrope
Most sexual assaults are committed by family members, so unless they want to commit suicide they ain't shooting their daughter's molester.
Hercules99
And if she gets pregnant from that rape, you become grandparents, by force. Yay!!

It's not about the rape. It's not about their daughter, their wife, or anything else. It's about getting an excuse to shoot someone.
koops
“Hey! What are you doing with my property??”
AdobewanKenobe
Rape is a property crime now... Perves killing perves.... full circle nightmare.
McMasterx
And then the cops show up and shoot everyone in the room holding a gun, also fantasizing murder.

the fucking noise was about back there. 2/2
Jewdakris
Funny thing is how many of them would shoot the man in the mirror, since that's who is the assaulter.

KirchoffsVoltageLaw
Freeze? They'd fucking join the crime even if it was their own daughter being assaulted.
