Can someone please describe freedom to me or how human rights work because the way I see it is if I was a murderer or or rapist , would it not be my human right to murder and rape , if I feel that that my right , so how can you someone take that right and freedom awy from me ?
Rights are balanced out by responsibilities. As a general rule, you do not have the right to violate someone else rights, and that forms part of your responsibilities.
To use your example, I have a right to live. You have no right to infringe on my right to live, and your are being responsible by not killing me.
For some further reading, try the 1948 United nations declaration of human rights

Murder or rape is an act of theft. You have rights, but those rights do not include harming anyone else, because we’re all equal. If everyone did whatever they wanted, you probably would be dead by now, because you had something nice, and someone else wanted it.

The meaning of freedom has been corrupted so that it means free market capitalism. There’s nothign free about freedom. The meaning of the word has been twisted to reflect societal norms.

Human rights are for the well beings of humans.
Rape is horrible in any sense.
Murder may be argues, but we must also consider the rights of the victim. But that is a different argument.
