Remember Brock Turner? That poor boy who can no longer enjoy steak after the twenty minutes of action where he drugged a girl? Well, he's getting out on Friday: http://www.scarymommy.com/brock-turner-released-three-months/?utm_source=FB
Cuz I have so many of my friends with kids and they repost the articles all the damn time. This was the first article I had seen of his release in three days. But I do get a kick outta most of the ones I see with the open and Frank look on parenthood not being a bed of roses.
This one really disgusts me. The guy admits to it, and the reaction from the father shows that the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. I suppose this could be another "affuensa" case, but honestly I think it has as much to do with the sports aspect of it as anything else. Kind of like the child sex ring out of UPenn.
Penn State? That was very much a case of "we must protect the football program" winning out over "we must protect children." Not sure if any swim team has the same status.
I suppose that would depend on where the university's focused. My state had a university and supporters go way above and beyond over the freaking name and logo it used for the hockey team. I could almost see the same kind of thing happening there if something similar went down involving a player or a coach on the hockey team.
He got out on good behavior? No shit, he was (being a pretty boy & a rapist) in segregation where it's very hard to get in trouble compared to gen pop. So three fucking months - money talks. I work with a guy whose kid has been in pretrial confinement in county lockup for about four months now on drug charges. When his trial does happen, let's say he gets off with a "time served" sentence - he still ends up serving a longer sentence than this rapist! So who would you rather have living in your neighborhood, a drug dealer or a rapist?
Ramen's drooling idiot routine aside, yeah, we could stand to teach consent to some women, too. Guys don't speak up about things like waking up to being sucked off by a woman they'd already told no because they're not even taught that a guy can truly say no to sex and mean it. That stands to get fixed too.
A leftist speaking how things should be fixed. Make sure you pat yourself on the back before going back to doing nothing.
As opposed to Republicans that say true rape pregnancies can self abort? Go shove your pats up your ass.
These fucking headlines prove we're still not getting it. EDIT: WTF? I had a twitter link that seems to have automatically embedded but isn't showing up. @John , @Order2Chaos ?
It's funny to see a lot of the same people who wanted to see all those armed protestors at that wildlife refuge to get killed are now cheering on the armed protestors at Brock Turner's house.
There's a difference between a public protest and the illegal occupation of a building. You know that, right?
Yeah, one was in the middle of no where, and one involves all those scary guns in the middle of a neighborhood.
I am conflicted about that. The first picture I saw was the guy with the sign asking whether he would get three months if he raped Brock Turner. I saw it as kind of an irreverent but pointed protest. And all honesty, I didn't even notice the gun (I know, it's right there, but it was only the sign that caught my attention). So I like the message that there are many men who find his behavior unacceptable and we refused to acknowledge that the courts provided justice. But I'm not big on mixed messages, so the guns strike me as harassment. And though I think Turner is scum and disagree with the sentence, he is legally free to go about his business, and should not be subject to armed stalking.
Same here, incidentally. And that's where the presence of firearms really bothers me, which is to say how it could be taken. Just as with most other open carry demonstrations, except this has the added aspect of it being a protest against a specific person, which could be taken as a threat against that person. I also like the point I saw someone make that while he would love to walk up to Turner and punch him in the face, he'd probably get a longer sentence for assault than Turner got for rape.
Because nothing puts people in the mood like asking every two seconds "are you sure it is ok?" whole having sex. These things are written by lonely would be lesbians who never have sex and who hate men for rejecting them. It is impractical and unnecessary in the real world and, as you said, it doesn't legally solve anything. In short, it is both fucking stupid and a waste of time.
This David Becker horseshit is one of the MOST infuriating things I've EVER come across. Dude seriously needs to be airdropped in the buff right into the dead center of the outside yard area at any one of the worst most horrible prisons in America, during peak prisoners-are-outside-time!
Embedded tweets you post don't show up for you until you reload. Nothing reasonable to be done about it.
Maybe it doesn't need to go to that extent, but there have been a lot of stories both online and friends of mine of guys they just had sex in high school to shut their boyfriends up from badgering them all the damn time. And no that isn't rape rape, but it speaks about the disconnect as to what consent means. It's basically a technicality, like the last year Dayton was employed at his last school.
