Sorry, but I am going to have to disagree. When someone dies, they have no more capability to rebound and become happy again. While they go through suffering, a surviving victim has the ability to smile and enjoy life again. A very close relative of mine has been sexually assaulted and today she is a very peaceful and happy person. Madonna was raped and look at her now. Furthermore, don't think that murder is murder and that's the end of suffering full stop. Family members of the murdered are often haunted and scarred by the death of their loved ones for years. If you see many reports of how their loved ones were killed, even decades later they are still very hurt by it. Some of the extreme hatred and violent crimes are caused by the deaths of loved ones. For example, recent terrorist attacks overseas have been done as revenge for the killing of innocent people.
Don't get me wrong, I am in no way downplaying the severity of rape (ESPECIALLY against children). Sexual crimes as you describe are one of the worst crimes that can ever occur and I think society should take them much more seriously. I find it disgusting that people just say stuff like "get over it", too. But still, I rank murder as worse.
I knew a girl in California who was molested repeatedly for several years. Eventually she was rescued and removed from the home. But the agony of what had happened never left. She never got over it. At the ripe old age of 18, she mixed up a delightful cocktail of chemicals and killed herself.
How is this not worse than murder? Instead of being swiftly killed, she was left to linger on in pain and agony for years. It was a terribly slow death. She was tortured. In the end she chose death over the ongoing pain of her molestation. Do you get that? Given the choice between life and death, she chose death.
Yes, any victimization that allows one to live could be said to allow possibilities whereas murder leaves no possibilities. I get that. But to leave someone in such pain for so long is surely worse than simply ending it quickly. For my friend, murder was preferable. And it is my opinion that her abuser should now be charged with murder. Her death is on his hands.
The consequences of death (especially if it is sudden or violent like murder) can also torture family members and lead to post traumatic stress disorder. This often leads to suicide attempts, too. For instance, Soulja Boy's brother threatened to commit suicide after his younger brother died an untimely death, saying he wanted the pain to go away. There was also a woman who attempted suicide after her son was murdered. The grief can last for years, too. If you see many people discussing the loss of their loved ones years ago many still break down, indicating that it is still painful for them.
IIN that I find paedophilia incredibly amusing?
