Did you feel sorry for Andy?


When Andy illegibly tries to rape her again in the janitors closet did you feel bad when she basically blinded him? I know what he did was terrible and he was abusing her but she could deff damage him forever...i felt bad even though what he did was HORRIBLEEEEE

what do you think?

I can levitate birds but nobody cares

HE damaged her forever; just because it wasn't physically doesn't mean that it wasn't long lasting. Emotional damage is just as bad as physical, if not worse.

The entire movie is about how that horrible incident, caused by him, affected her entire life--she wouldn't speak.

She even said in the movie, that she would never forget it.

I don't feel sorry for him, I don't think he should be killed--but there's this idea called Karma, life will eventually dole out the exact punishment he deserves. Whether it be a criminal sentence or a beating from the lacrosse team--he'll get his just desserts while Melinda gets her life back.

He damaged *her* forever. So I didn't feel sorry for him at all. Not in the least.

reply

hell no he knew what he was doing wrong. and rape again and get away wtih it again? no way. since the rape it hurt her.

the jerk derseve it.

reply

Wait, is this post a joke? You feel sorry for a rapist, even though Melinda was just defending herself? That's pretty sick. Have you been to the doctor lately? Somebody should check your brain damage.

The book you are looking for that says Andy never even serves a prison sentence is Catalyst, by the same author. Although apparently he didn't deserve one, poor little rapist!

I don't really feel bad for him. Up until the closet scene, I felt sort of, "okay, obviously he is completely clueless and doesn't realize what he did was wrong." after he attacked her again, I stopped feeling anything other than disgust and hatred for him.

Does that make me an accessory to cat rape?

You are kidding right...?

How on earth would anyone feel bad for that Rapist..!!! I personally feel that the hockey team girls should have used their hockey sticks on him.

Most guys act like they need sympathy to cover up their crime or wrong doings.. mostly to women...!!!

I don't make a habit of watching Lifetime movies but for some reason this one caught my interest and I watched it the whole way through. The only thing I'm sorry about in regards to the rapist is that it wasn't Steve Zahn that flung the door open at the end and proceeded to beat the ever living *beep* out of that guy. The fact that the topic creator actually felt sorry for the rapist is laughable at best, and beyond depressing at worst.


It's impressive to see a man feeding off his emotions.

No I didn't feel bad. That's what he gets for attacking her TWICE. She defended herself. He should have never attacked her. That's what he gets.
