Dutch beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde, who served time in prison after he was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl, won his second match at the Paris Olympics and received an even harsher reaction from the crowd on Wednesday than for his first match.

    And his victim, who has self harmed after he hurt her, gets to watch him live his best life at the olympics.

    No. That’s not ok.

      If you’ll never forgive, why not just kill proactively?

      No. That’s not ok.

        Wow that is QUITE a jump from this dude shouldn’t be in the olympics to why not kill him.

        There is plenty of other shit he could be doing that doesn’t involve international television.

        And no, i will not forgive rapists because I have yet to see one who has ever been remorseful for what they’ve done. Certainly not from what i’m hearing about this guy.

          There’s plenty of other shit you could be doing than punishing someone forever instead of offering them a quick death.
