Does anyone else think Rita got what she deserved?


Sh was the ho of the entire School, and I think she got what she deserved. Garfield invites her over to his house breaking School rules trying to help her study, and she takes her clothes off on his couch when he is not looking.

si mon jefe, she did get what she deserved, she also was screwing Cesar and Benny cos thats what Cesar said when he beat her up. She was just a ho looking for a come up.

She can come over to my house and get naked and I would STILL help her. But I'm just a good guy like that.

Yeah, alot of people who are normal wouldnt sleep with a minor lol. I guess what the OP was saying is the situation between Cesar and her, like she was sleeping around with alot of people and then she got beat up by him. I think the OP used the situation with her and Garfield as showing how much of a ho she was. I guess she deserved it becuase she slept with all the cholos and even the teachers and in the end it caught up to her and she got beat up.

Then again, I think it would have been cool if she had mentioned the teacher who DID sleep with her, and who was present. Maybe even a cameo by Chris Hansen and his camera crew!

Ok can i ask you this then with all respect due...

A woman pulls a gun on your children during a home invasion and is about to kill them and the father punches the woman with the gun to save his kids lives is he then in the wrong??

I KNOW EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCE PERO YOU SAID ON NO CIRCUMSTANCES.

So does he go by the "violence against women" code and let his children be murdured by a thug who is basically just crazy or does he save his kids by punching her??

It was also obvious she wanted a change, she was working hard and studying, really caring for it. I think she deserved a break, she sure as hell didn't deserve that beating.

it seemed like every student that was witnessing her getting slapped up were a bunch of pussies to step in and break it up...only his 2 homies were keeping other guys away? come on now

Its the "mind your own business mentality" like if you look at it like last nite i was coming back from a party and there was this guy screaming at his son and bascially punking on his own kid something crazy and this is downtown 12 o clockish out the front of a 7/11 right. Anyways nobody did anything even though they knew he was going to hit his kid and when he did hit his kid no-one dont nothing again because they didnt want to A: Get into any trouble from authorities (they only care who threw the punches not the reason!) , B: They didnt want to get hurt and C: they didnt know the back story (that kid may of done something really horrible like beat his mom for all we know but then again he may of just stepped on his dads shoe as far as we know). The same is with this situacion as in if they beat Cesar down they will probably get expelled because they werent fighting self defense, they may of been beat down by Cesar who may of had a knife OR as we know a gun and would defintly hold a grudge and taken his own vendetta out against that person and finally they probably didnt know why Rita and Cesar werent on good terms because in some peoples thinking if a nena snitches or participated in something hat that community deems "costly" its a fair punishment.
Thats my thinking is just the others peoples thinking. Hey, maybe they were just are cabrones who couldnt care less or maybe they wanted to but then knew they would come heavy down on a punishment that probably wouldnt be worth the risk. Who knows. And ofcourse fear of Cesar and his tagger crew.

Its the "mind your own business mentality"....WHEN IT HAPPENS IN A PUBLIC SPOT THERE IS NO PRIVACY SO THE SITUATION CAN BE ANYONE'S BUSINESS. ITS KIND OF LIKE SEEING AN OLD MAN AT A BUS STOP GOING INTO A HEART ATTACK OR STROKE AND PEOPLE ARE SEEING HIM DYING...WHAT WOULD BE THE THING TO DO? JUST WALK BY AND NOT HELP BECAUSE "IT ISN'T YOUR BUSINESS"? OR CALL 911 AND LET HELP ARRIVE? IT'S CALLED BEING A GOOD SAMARITAN, AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO DO NOTHING WHEN A CRIME HAPPENS ARE JUST AS GUILTY AS THE PEOPLE WHO COMMIT THEM...YEAH IT ALSO COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE THAT A LOT OF THE STUDENTS IN THE MOVIE KNEW WHO RITA WAS AND HER REPUTATION FOR BEING A HO BUT MORALLY IT STILL DIDN'T GIVE THAT FOOL THE RIGHT TO SLAP HER UP AND EVEN THOUGH IN THAT SCENE THERE WERE A COUPLE OF GUYS WHO LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD THE BALLS TO STEP IN AND INTERVENE IT WAS UNREALISTIC THAT ONLY '2' GUYS HELD THEM BACK...

The same is with this situacion as in if they beat Cesar down they will probably get expelled because they werent fighting self defense, they may of been beat down by Cesar who may of had a knife OR as we know a gun and would defintly hold a grudge and taken his own vendetta out against that person....THAT MAY BE, BUT CESAR PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED, ESPECIALLY SINCE HE WAS ALREADY SAID TO HAVE HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD BY THE TWO COPS WHEN HE WAS GETTING HIS FINGER PUT BACK ON, AND FOR HAVING A WEAPON IN HIS POSSESSION CHANCES ARE HE'D HAVE GOT SENT TO JAIL


and finally they probably didnt know why Rita and Cesar werent on good terms because in some peoples thinking if a nena snitches or participated in something hat that community deems "costly" its a fair punishment....THAT WHOLE EYE FOR AN EYE MENTALITY IS THE REASON WHY THINGS IN THE HOOD NEVER GET BETTER, AND ITS LIKE I ALREADY SAID, SHE MAY HAVE BEEN THE SCHOOL HO BUT IT STILL DIDN'T GIVE HIM THE RIGHT TO ABUSE HER (BY ABUSE, I MEAN SLAPPING HER, PINNING HER TO THE FLOOR, TEARING AT HER CLOTHES LOOKING LIKE HE'S GONNA RAPE HER LIKE THE WAY IT ALL LOOKED)...JUST MY VIEW ON THAT WHOLE SCENE OF THE MOVIE
