Erasing a Criminal's Past - Law & Order SVU

[@potatofairy8535]

The soldier that told Munch everything just sits at the table at the end with the most calmest look, like he's so relieved, while everyone else is just completely shocked.

As he stated earlier, he didn't understand why the protections didn't go away, but when they arrested him it suddenly made sense.

[@aaronsalve7114]

@@earlloder8180 I don't think he did. He might have had an idea, but he didn't know for a *fact* that Craig was an accomplice. Snitching would have meant losing his job that he worked so hard for and possibly his life. You know how it goes... The soldier's character is a very common character that is used in various TV shows... the one who follows order, knows about the dark secrets but can't do anything because of the fear of losing everything.. I think Eric is right, he was relieved...

If I killed the people who raped me, I'd be in prison for upwards of 15 years whereas they would've gotten 8 years if anyone believed me when I reported them. The government gives more power to criminals than victims. Makes me sick.

[@sabrina.natalie]

I’m sorry that you’ve endured that. Please know that it was never your fault, and that you’re not to blame for any of it. I can’t imagine that trauma and pain that you just feel every single day. I really hope you’re doing okay, and that you’ve found healing. I hope you’ve been able to go to therapy with a counselor who specializes in SA, so that a professional therapist can help you navigate these feelings. Sending lots of love and hugs your way! 🤍

[@ciobalina7445]

​​@@sabrina.natalie That's not what his comment is about. You can't really heal from something like this when you know society doesn't care enough to really punish these sickos. You have to accept some things about life that a lot of people can still ignore or be oblivious to, at least until they are older. Therapy doesn't healp that much and frankly sending people to therapy doesn't magically erase the harm that many people impose on others throughout their childhood. Preventing and locking pervers and abusers away is more efficient for society.

[@dmf1301]

@@ciobalina7445 what are you, an idiot? You’re not wrong that a big part of the problem is when society can’t punish those guilty of child abuse. But offering sympathy to victims certainly doesn’t cause any harm! And therapy isn’t designed to make you ‘get over it.’ It’s designed to HELP you cope and live your life as best you can. That’s ab ongoing challenge, not a quick fix solution, but what’s your suggestion if you have such a problem with sympathy and therapy? Just ignore it? Kindness to survivors who sadly never got justice is NOT a bad thing at all! 🤦‍♀️
