Law and Order: SVU

I just watched an episode of Law and Order:SVU about a series of murders of rapists. After finding many suspects, it turns out that the murderer was a woman who worked at a clinic for HIV positive people who knew the rapists that were killed because they had HIV and she treated them. Her reasoning was that she didn't want them to infect anymore people with their deadly disease; it became even more emotional when the woman admitted that she was infected with AIDS and was dying because an HIV positive man raped her nine years before. I think this episode was commenting on the state of America's rapists and pedophiles because many citizens feel vulnerable and do not like the fact that rapists and pedophiles are given the same rights as every other American even after they have committed a horrible crime. In the episode, the men were stalked, harassed, and a Neighborhood Watch program posted pictures of them everywhere. The episode also was commenting on the spread of HIV and AIDS. I think the episode was trying to say that there are still people out there who are not careful to protect other people from their disease.
