would you seek revenge against the state of Georgia for cruel and unusual punishment?

Legally, there really isn't anything that he can do. And he's already lost too many years of his life - he doesn't need to spend more time and energy (and money) trying to fight a battle that he's not going to win. Genarlow Wilson need to get his life back on track. He needs to go to school and be the best person he can be. And he needs to leave the girls alone until he gets himself through college and decides what he wants to do with his life. Maybe he'll decide to go to law school and eventually defend young men in similar situations so that this doesn't happen again.

Revenge isn't always the way to go, but in this instance, I do believe that this young man should be monetarily compensated for time lost due to a glitch in a law that was written under totally different circumstances but by which he was prosecuted. Wrongly incarcerated rapist, etc., are paid a stipend when returned to the outside world, why shouldn't Mr. Wilson, but what was taken from him, he will never get back, the only thing that can be prayed for is that he can some how partially forget the whole thing and that he did learn something, that of which I am sure. God Bless.

If I were Genarlow Wilson...
In a way yes, I would seek revenge. Call me weak, but I would seek support from my family to help channel my anger towards proving that I am not what they try and make me out to be. In other words, I would continue my studies, become successful, and once I am successful I would probably throw in their face "Hey!, look at me...I succeeded. You tried to hold me down! YOU held me responsible for a sl u t. You took 2 years of my life and I still managed to surpass your bigoted laws."
Call me racist, but I would probably have a cold shoulder toward Whites and White girls especially. I think it is selfish for a member of a racist family to be involved with someone who they know their family despises. If I were Genarlow, from the moment I got out of prison I would definitely have more respect for myself. Enough to not let *any* woman put their hands on me unless they prove worthy.
That sl u t was not worth two years of his life and she has nothing to be proud of. Her family and her life are forever in debt to Genarlow Wilson.
That is just me...

Living well is the best revenge.
