Someone on social media made a statement that lying will never be as bad as rape. (The thread was about a girl who lied about being raped).
My response was that false imprisonment is just as sick as rape. I also said both rapists and false accusers should be tattooed for life.
Something is eating at me about the tattoo part but I can’t find a solid reason to retract it.
What do you think?

I firmly believe anyone who falsely accuses another of a crime should receive the harshest penalty possible for the crime they accused the person of.

If rapist faces 10-15 year prison sentence, falsely accusing someone of rape should face a 10-15 year sentence.

You left out, "on their forehead"

Tattoos on the forehead only lead to a lifetime of bad haircuts. Tattoos on the cheeks (face, not ass).

Perhaps a carving on the forehead…..

It has become seemingly fashionable to get high and report shootings, rapes, assaults etc that never occurred to the police.

^^^ That swatting bullshit is pretty sick.
As far as the tattoos, cheek and wrists.

I agree that falsely accusing a crime should carry the same potential consequences as the actual crime.

While i get the sentiment, once a sentence is served, the debt should be considered paid and a permanent tattoo doesn’t really support that idea.

I don’t like the idea of tattooing. You can cover a tattoo with other tattoos, people do it every day. Much harder to conceal a brand.

The old ways are best....

I investigate MANY allegations of sexual assault. Mine are in jails and prisons against officers and not situations in the “free world”. Well, some of mine take place in the “free world”. Doing one now in which my victim and witness were murdered. Doesn’t make for an easy investigation, but still have to investigate it. Many are false and I can prove it so at least the alleged perpetrator gets exonerated, but what frustrates me is district attorneys won’t prosecute for making a false report.

I take every allegation seriously as I have had many that are true, and also had many that made false allegations end up having one I could prove was true. I do my very best to prove the truth whichever way it is. It is sad some don’t do that and an innocent person gets found guilty, or a guilty person gets off.

The people making the false allegations waste so many resources that could go into the ones that are true. So yeah I agree with you that a lie to the magnitude of costing a person their freedom is actually worse than the accused crime in my opinion since it cost an innocent person so much.

Divorce. Loss of Job. Loss of friends/other family. Basically shunned by the village.

Didn’t work out so well for the girl in NC. She did effectively ruin a bunch of people’s lives and I believe her punishment was not appropriate. Even though her lawyer was disbarred

Tawana Brawley rape hoax, Duke lacrosse rape hoax. Nah, just white lies. Not that bad.

Bring back Tar & Feathers.

I agree.

They should get tattooed... by the person they accused.

Either with a needle or a bat.

Why retract your statement? It's a matter of opinion, not fact. It's not like you said it to someone who is family or a close friend and they got offended, right?

No not at all. I’ve always felt that if you did your time you have the right to start over. But rape doesn’t end when the idiot walks away. It’s a life sentence to the victim. You’ve taken something from them that they will never get back.

Reminds me of that scene out of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Great flick!
