Charged? They don't have self-defense over there?

This is not a crime of passion. This is cold logic. There was no support for this woman, no way to stop the daily murder of her soul. It came to a very instrumental solution. Remove the tool of oppression. She will sacrifice her physical body to the state, but this act was the one choice she could make, given the grain of personal power left her. I, for one, salute her.

Yet did nothing to stop the rapist.
I salute her.
