I mean I think I'd rather have a loved one be raped instead of murdered. I actually had a friend of mine who was murdered, I miss him everyday... if he was raped, he'd talk to his therapist about it, live to testify against the person who wronged him, and there wouldn't be an awkward hole in our friend group that we don't talk about.
I'd much rather help him recover from a traumatic experience than have to bury the guy, but I wasn't that lucky.
My sentiment was more about the perpetrator in those example scenarios. Both offenders in the hypothetical are bad, and certainly not the type of people who should be in charge of anything. I know the comparison is a bit extreme, but that's the level of corruption I see in all our political parties, and how much distain I have for them. There's likely never a perfect angle politician that perfectly represents all your values and morals, but damn, I'd settle for just decent.
Sorry your friend is gone. My friend group lost a guy also and it sucks. He was cool. He died sleeping in his car though, not murdered.
