Why did they harass her to begin with?


Jennifer did nothing to those miscreants, she minded her own business and just wanted to write a book and those creeps came along on their boat hollering and being obnoxious for no reason, and raped her. The fact they made their mentally slow friend rape her made the situation even worse.

Coz they were cahnts? Losers? Mutants? Inbreds?

LOL I guess that makes sense.

I think they were just sick, vile people who probably fantasized about doing something like this their entire lives. When Jennifer, an outsider, showed up they probably saw it as a golden opportunity. She didn't know anything about the men or anyone else in the town. They seemed like good, wholesome, family men to the rest of the town. So by doing something like this to a random girl no one in the town knew or cared about they probably thought they could get away with it. That's how I interpreted it anyways.

It's pretty scary to think people you see everyday and think of as good, kind people could be capable of something like this.

Because they were horny and she was the hottest piece they'd seen come into that hick town for a long time. They tried to get her attention but she turned up her nose at them. She thought she was too good for them. She looked down on them as stupid rednecks not worth giving a fair chance. Her bad attitude pissed them off so they got their revenge. Also they were trying to help poor Matthew get a girl.

I guess I understand, but the married guy John was really sleazy, he raped her and is already married and with kids! That makes him more of a douchebag!

Because they can and they did, I don't think they needed a reason anymore then serial killers have reasons for what they do other then they love to do it.
