It's not self defense of immediate threat has ended. You can't take retributive action after the fact and call it self defense.

Okay, I'll take a shot at this: I assert that you can and that the laws should be updated to account for that fact.

You go ahead a assert that all you want in a courtroom, see how far you get.

If I was in court for killing a rapist, what makes you think I would care about going to jail at that point? The system would still be wrong for doing it regardless.

Did you know that legal does not equal moral, just or true?

So if you successfully flee from danger, and then put yourself back in danger for the explicit purpose of killing someone, that's okay?

If you successfully build a strawman, will it come alive and sing and dance?

How is what they said a strawman? You said laws should be updated to allow retribution.

Because no one is talking about purposefully putting oneself back in danger. That's logically impossible because the rapist put you in a situation where you are always in danger, not just from them but the community at large.

Burdening rape victims with the responsibility of avoiding their rapist over something done to them inherently puts their life in danger.

It's not always possible to avoid the rapist. Most rapists are people you know. What do you do when you have to interact with them at work? At school? At home?

What happens when you run into them at the store?

Because that's the nightmare those rape apologist bitches are asking for. Entrenching the rights of rapists to act without consequences by shouldering responsibility for the situation on the victim.

Like what all evil people do.

And I will NOT support it. Ever. Rape victims have a unilateral right to kill their rapists and no one with any shred of humanity or decency will deny that. Deny it, and you're a bad person. Period.
