1. They're right.
He should be in prison for oh, maybe 50 years or so.

He might prefer to be blinded by acid and set free, than be in Iranian prison for that long.

I guess Amnesty International might have a problem with that prison sentence too.

3. And I say they shouldn't give him anesthesia when she does it.
And she should be able to ruin his face too.

Maybe if those courts over there gave these women retribution like this the men would stop being callous assholes.

But normally it works more to a 12 year old girl being stoned to death for the crime of being raped or some such shit.

9. I agree. She was awake and alert when he threw acid in her face.
And he should be awake when she retaliates. Sorry, but I am a vindictive female.

19. I'm a Vindictive for whomever.
Have you seen The Kite Runner? Sexual Exploitation of the weak seems to dance cheek to cheek with religious insanity no matter what the flavor is.

30. In that case, are you in favor of letting someone
drown Susan Smith until she suffocates and dies?

This kind of retribution will get the species nowhere. We should work towards not letting it happen in the first place.

6. They're right.
What they need to do is keep the shitbag off the street until he's too damned old to attack any other women.

7. He should be given a choice.
Blinded or life imprisonment. What would take? I think I'd take the acid over life in an Iranian prison.

10. I say leave him in a room alone tied to a chair and let her in
the room with a spray bottle full of acid. Whatever she decides to do is fine with me.

11. This is barbaric
It is hard to believe any government could condone such cruel and unusual punishment.

Well, not anymore, I guess.

23. Nobody is saying he needs to be treated "well".
I said the survivor's needs have to be centred, but there are limits on that. Hopefully in most cases, not a lot, but this seems like one case where it might be morally questionable to follow through with the survivor's wishes.

We'll put you in the pro-acid on people corner.

25. I agree with Amnesty International
He has committed a serious crime and deserves a long prison sentence; but this sort of barbaric punishment should have gone out with the Middle Ages.

As Gandhi said, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind - literally in cases like this.
