I'd suggest you read up on the cycle of violence - it may help you understand better.

It's very naive to suggest that people who have been hurt themselves should know better than to hurt other people.

I don't think it's ignorance or naivity on my part. It's anger. I'm angry at all perps! I think anyone who's been hurt knows enough to choose not to hurt another person. We aren't robots. We choose to do the things we do.

I can compare and contrast all perps to alcoholics. Alcoholics don't have anyone force those drinks down their throats. Alcoholics are alcoholics because they choose to drink. And, perps do what they do on their own volition. The difference between the two groups of people is that alcoholism is not a crime. There are alcoholics who drink and choose not to get behind the wheel to drive. Drunk drivers who from behind the wheel end up murdering others are exactly like ALL perpetrators. It is a choice to hurt others. All perps make the choice to hurt others.

The only incidence that is an excuse for a victim to victimize another is if that victim was forced (by another perpetrator) to violate or harm someone else.

Adults know the law and know counseling is available. All adults are accountable!
