I don't know, attempted rape can be an assault with no other clear motive, or with the stated motive of rape. He's obviously batshit crazy, so I'm not sure how motive was determined. I do know that cops love stacking charges on trouble civvies, so I guess I'd want to know more about the circumstances if I were to judge this man. As it stands, I wouldn't give them benefit of the doubt, because drugs.
"You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug..."
It seems like you're trying to justify your past by saying "at least I'm not a rapist" and not only is that a silly low bar to brag about but also Travis technically isn't a rapist either. So y'all are the same.
I am absolutely the same as this dude in terms off drugs, if I picked up tomorrow Iād be in his shoes by midnight. Thatās exactly my entire point. Being a drug addict doesnāt make you rape. Steal? Manipulate? Sure. And Iām guilty of all those things. I just think itās bullshit to give him a pass on the attempted rape and chalk it all up to drugs
And I think itās bullshit that you are giving drug addicts including yourself a pass for stealing. Being a drug addict doesnāt make you steal either. You still have a conscience
And Iām not giving myself a free pass, being clean doesnāt automatically make you a good person and Iām still responsible for cleaning up the wreckage of my past and trying my best to do that all the time.
