A 23 year old women was raped by a 20-year old student (now former student) and athlete Brock Turner next to a dumpster at a house party. She was unconscious and after he raped her 2 swedish students saw the attack and chased him off and contacted the police, of course he denied all allegations of rape. She wrote a letter to the judge and to the public in general to tell her story and it's really quite painful to read but also very moving and shows how horrible it must be to have people twist the situation so that they can get away with it. The jury found him guilty however the stupid judge only gave him a 6 month sentence as he had no previous convictions which is such BS there's a petition to get him sacked because he seems to side with the rapist: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7067146.html

Saw this story on the Young Turks channel today. Absolutely disgraceful the short sentence he's been given.

Thankfully not everyone is on Brocks side Theres a vid on this page of Mike Golic saying prett much what everyone is thinking about the case.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0b60682dee524 Unbelievable bullsh*t from his Dad that Brock cant sleep or eat his favourite foods after the attack. Poor him.

I wonder what the abhorrent Dan A. Turner's warped and disgusting view will be if his son's soft little white buttocks prove too irresistible for some hairy lusty con in the jail showers and he is forcibly subjected to "20 minutes of action".
I doubt that the bastard will be as arrogantly and cruelly dismissive of the victim then.

I am not excusing this behaviour one bit. Rape IS rape. But please all young women everywhere, don't drink so much that you don't know where you are or are unconcious, because there will always be some low life just waiting to take advantage.

For anyone who didn't read her victim impact statement you should have a read, it's very powerful and she expresses herself beautifully

That was from the medical reports plus what the two Swedish men who came to her aid described

her description was understandably emotive and emotional and she is clearly intelligent. it did however also feel a bit contrived too.

We have a legal system for a reason, the facts were laid out and both sides spoke and the judge judged. If you dont like then that is fine but it the way the law works.

The Jury found him guilty, the judge passed sentence extremely leniently, that should be questioned and allowed to be contested imho

One could equally say 5 seconds of action to slit someones throat. Its no wonder the son behaves as he does.

Some people will conflate real rape accusations with 'political correctness gone wrong' because the lines have been blurred so much now by this extreme version of feminism. Feminism was a great and much needed movement but it has turned into a nonsensical man hating monster.Some real common sense needs to be injected into the whole movement so real rapes can be dealt with efficiently and properly and people will take them more seriously. |

I'm more talking about peoples reaction to it and statements like 'political correctness gone wrong'.I bet a good few people will have that view.If the lines hadn't been blurred so much then people would be far less inclined to jump to conclusions like that,Specially people in that student environment and especially in the US. |

If the girl was in my family I wouldn't want him in prison for long. I'd want him out where I could get to him. And his dickhead father too.
