Victims of murder aren't around to be scared of that.  She is going to 
therapy for it, however, it's a very long process to recover from.  Rape 
is highly considered as the worst thing you can do to someone 
(emotionally speaking), murder would probably be worse, but as I said 
the victims aren't around afterwards.  Looting is considered very 
different then a robbery and I doubt that it's as traumatic as a rape.  
All of that fails in comparison to what we're talking about Vinnie.  And 
no, I have never picked the rape option for looting.  You still haven't 
answered my question as to what it adds to the game either.
