I agree with Sternn completely. Except for the anti-American thing.

Same. I'm glad the woman was able to protect herself, and I probably would have done the same (who wouldn't, sitting in the dark waiting for someone to break in?), but people don't usually tend to murder and **** because they were just born that way. Prison, the death penalty, and all the other reactions to criminals like this bloke just ***** out the symptons without looking at the cause - prevention is always the best course of action.

I'm not saying rehabilitation isn't something a society should strive for, I'm just saying that to assume the guy was mentally ill because of what he did is unfounded. I accept that certain factors in upbringing can and usually do have an effect, but this is not set in stone and the variations are enormous. Look at Zimbardo's prison experiment, which found that the potential for violence is more deeply embedded within the average, non-traumatised person who has experienced a normal upbringing than we would like to believe. There are other things than victimisation which bring violence out of people, and the popular refusal to give equal weight to other factors has convinced us that childhood abuse and / or mental illness is the answer to the question every criminal poses. Zimbardo found otherwise - not that it isn't often a useful explanation, but that it isn't necessarily the only explanation.

I can't bring myself to feel much sympathy for a rapist.

If this guy could think his plans through enough to cut the electricity and break in, I don't think it is too much of a stretch to say this was a calculated act.

The only unfortunate thing I can see is that she didn't have that shotgun the first time around.

I'm going to agree with JCC on this.

Whoah... he cut the electricity? I missed that bit. That's pretty fucking awesome.
