My heart is torn in two pieces.....a part of me feels for U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Daniel Smith.....he was sentenced to 40 years in prison after the court judge found him guilty of raping a Filipino woman in Subic Bay, November of 2005. Somehow, I feel that the sentence was too heavy for a very young man who should have been facing a bright future ahead of him being only 21 years old. Somehow, I feel he has been wronged here. Somehow, I feel he did not really commit an act of rape. I feel for his pain.
But then, another part of me feels for Nicole.....being a Filipino myself, I also feel the oppression and the discrimination of such an act. I can imagine the trauma of being sexually abused, laughed at, humiliated and ridiculed. It enrages me at the thought of her being used and then leaving her out in the cold with her pants down. I would also demand justice if something like what happened to her would happen to someone dear to me, of course. I also feel for her pain.
