He doesn't deserve the name Keanu. They should make him change his name to donald.
How did this go undetected? Dorm rooms don't exactly have the best privacy.
A bunch of campus housing is empty during the summer months, depending on what city you are in.
There is a dorm an hour north of me that gets rented out for staff housing needed during local festivals, I stayed there when I had that job.
Yeah good question!
Someone else answered plausibly. But I have a different question. How did he think he could even begin to get away with this? I know some of the answers to that before anyone answers, but even still… wtf was he thinking?
After finding texts, pictures and social media content that "infuriated" him, Labatte grabbed her phone and kept it away from her for days, the complaint says. She was strangled, threatened with a knife, forced to lie in a bathtub while Labatte covered her face with a washcloth and poured water on her, and sexually assaulted in her dorm room from Thursday to Saturday, it adds.
Good. This guy is a threat.
My major concern is that a few years of prison will just make him a worst human being, because he already seems like a shitstain.
I'm not sure there is reform for a person like this.
Yeah, I'm all about making prison about actually reforming people instead of just to hurt them, but I totally agree. You can murder someone and be more redeemable than if you tortured someone over several days. Many chances to realize what you're doing is awful, and you should stop.
There's most certainly a pathological issue at work here. Any from of improvement would definitely need to include heavy psychology evaluation and medication
If you have daughters please train them in self defense. Best to train it young and encourage it as a hobby into adulthood. It’s better than weapons and more effective. Breaking an assailant’s arm comes with way less PTSD than shooting someone.
Edit: I am a fan of living a self reliant life. It’s a very wholesome and well rounded way to live. Carl Sagan promoted it and it is a solid way to actually live free rather than under the falsities of the self proclaimed “main stream” portion of society. Self Defense is a major part of that. Self defense also does not mean being a master of it, just enough to get away safely.
Edit2: Yea this post isn’t victim blaming. There are many benefits to self defense including confidence building. You are literally empowering your kids. Idk why people don’t like doing that except to control them. Again, teaching self defense isn’t teaching violence. If you don’t know the difference it would be enlightening to discover it.
I don't disagree but I think it's a lot easier for me to teach my son not to be a rapist. At 7 he understands boundaries. It's not hard.
Yeah... too bad you can't teach other people's sons not to be rapists - they're the ones you've gotta worry about
Better yet we do both. Hell we should also be spreading awareness and providing programs to help support people to prevent and recover from incidents like this. It's a complex social issue so it should be tackled from all directions simultaneously

Let's also not forget that a certain percentage of people are simply fucked up beyond repair, no matter how they are raised.
So teaching women basic self defense is absolutely the way to go.
I want to live in a world, where this piece of shit tries to rape someone and ends up with a broken nose, arm and exploded nutsack.

How about instead we train boys that they do not own women, nor do they have a right to demand women obey them.
Teach your children well.
Both. Both is an option because you can't train the monster out of some people.

Because we can’t train other people’s kids- but we can train our own.

Okay. But also, if you have a son teach them that women are not objects that owe them sex if they follow some script in their head.
I agree with this, but I also think it would be a good idea to teach them how to defend themselves with weapons as well. There are certain situations where legally it will be less of a problem for you if you just kill the threat. You don't want to end up paying your would-be rapists medical bills over some dumb technicality.
My daughter has been learning defense since she was 8, went through different classes including MMA. She's such a sweet kid and runs away from danger, but she's got enough to fight with if it ever comes to it. Still wish I could follow her around looking mean everywhere she goes. But if a guy ever did this to her, I would deal with him myself.
A good self defense class teaches people to run first and fight only when you're cornered, so she's learning the right lesson.

That's the kind of kid you want to check around his neighborhood for dead animals.
Dead girls too, waterboarding is no joke
He looks like he is going to get a Manson style swastika on his forehead in prison.
If his eyes were any closer together he would be a mosquito.
Why did I assume he was guilty the second the picture loaded?? 😂
