“What responsibility, exactly, is he trying to use his status as a victim of rape to avoid?”
Responsibility for his own actions, bmmg39. Was it rape and was it wrong and was it terrible? Perhaps, but who cares? Bad, wrong & illegal things happen every day to all sorts of undeserving victims. I’m just reluctant to weep endlessly for grown adults who set themselves up for this kind of thing.
“But what about a woman who gets date-raped? What if she goes to a frat party, drinks too much, passes out and gets raped?”
Yeah, what about it? Sure, I’ll concede it was rape and it was wrong, bad & immoral. But you won’t catch me shedding tears for her. Adults put themselves in reckless, stupid situations, then something “bad” happens and the whole WORLD is supposed to stop revolving.
So what is my “issue with this guy”? “…why not just ignore him and let the people who DO care help him out?”
It’s the same issue I have with all whiners. I refuse to let victimhood addicts masturbate themselves with this baloney in public, and go unchallenged. That’s why I won’t politely ignore you, ‘go away’ and let you have your fun.
And let us be clear: You are incapable of “helping” a narcissist like Jim Landrith. He doesn’t want to ‘get better’. In fact, he thrives on this kind of attention. It makes him feel like he’s done something more worthwhile in his life than run for the local school board.
