Mother sets fire to daughter's rapist

[DS1]

I'm not posting this because I think there's anything funny about rape - but I do have a little laugh on this inside about this fucker going out crispy on the outside

While there, he passed his victim's mother in the street and allegedly taunted her about the attack. He is said to have called out: "How's your daughter?" before heading into a crowded bar, The Sunday Telegraph reported today.

Shortly after, the woman walked into the bar, poured a bottle of petrol over Soriano and lit a match. She watched as the flames engulfed him, before walking out.

The woman fled to Alicante, where she was arrested the same evening. When she appeared in court the next day in the town of Orihuela, she was cheered and clapped by a crowd, who shouted "Bravo!" and "Well done!" the newspaper reported.

I can't say I approve of vigilantism, but I understand.

Not the oil company. 'esso' is a nickname Short Bus President gave me on these boards a few years ago. Some of the long time posters still call me that.

5. Well, It's Not Good

The story said he "succumbed" to his injuries from this. But considering his taunt, I'd say she'll have a pretty good defense and an easy time finding a sympathetic jury.

6. Must be fun sitting in jail when you are allowed

to be out on the street on a three day pass.

7. I don't condone what she did

but we need to understand the anger behind her motivation and ask what it was that the rapist did to provoke the attack.

9. I have a teenaged daughter. I think I would have done the same thing

if someone who did that to her taunted me about it.

10. Yeah, - setting the dude on fire is perhaps a step too far

but I can certainly see the need for revenge and specifically, he was pretty much asking for some sort of revenge.
