“Legal outcomes I disagree with are extrajudicial!” The law has protected Brock Turners long enough. Once again, if I’m on that jury, I acquit. It is not extrajudicial, because I say it isn’t. That’s what a jury does. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not legal.

*shrug* still voting to acquit on that hypothetical jury. Some others feel the same way. That is the law. It is by definition legal. Nothing you can do about it.

The legal system is already “pro” extrajudicial murder, when the murdered are minorities. You may argue that their deaths were legal, because the legal system said they were, and that would be the same argument I’m making, that the death of Brock Turner should be made legal, and not “extrajudicial” as you’re…

And that’s precisely where you’re wrong. I have as much legal power as anyone else who serves on a jury. If a jury refuses to convict a hypothetical killer of Brock Turner, that would be a legal, and just result. No amount of your grandstanding will change that. Extrajudicial murders are only such because the victims…

Two wrongs do make a right. That’s why we have the death penalty.

Justice is clearly not blind. And if you only apply the “strives to be blind” part when it benefits rich white men, then you’re no different from me. “I support the ideals of blind justice only when it benefits people I like!” At least I’m not a…

Justice is already *extremely* subjective. And if it can’t be fixed, it’s only fair that it can be subjective in the other direction.

The law is made of people. The reason that Brock Turner was able to effectively get away with rape is that the people of the law decided that punishing him properly would be abhorrent. That is an unjust, but still legal, result. Likewise, if the people on my hypothetical jury decided that punishing the hypothetical…

Yep. A thousand Brock Turners murdered by vigilantism would be a drop in the bucket compared to the number of minorities killed by the same. Concerns about vigilantism is bullshit. A privileged white man dying to vigilantism is so unlikely as to be cause for celebration.

If someone murders him and I’m on the jury for his trial, I’m acquitting.

This is ridiculous. A man rapes and it’s his wife’s fault? This is just more of the same kind of dilution of responsibility rape culture uses to obfuscate the truth: the rapist is responsible for the rape, full stop.

Sex work can lift women out of poverty and give them financial power. Sex workers are not all suffering from PTSD anymore than women who get abortions all get PTSD like anti-choice assholes would have you believe. Sex workers are at higher risk because of the illegality of the activity, not the intrinsic nature of it,…

Punishing the customers of sex workers is like punishing the providers of abortions in the name of “protecting women.” It’s just hurting women in a more politically palatable form.

It’s long been a Republican meme that they have “the hotter women,” and it’s been standard practice to disparage the physical appearance of women who are against their policies. Donald Trump fits right into that environment, and his fight with Ted Cruz over who has the hotter wife is the logical endpoint of that kind…

If he’s over 6' and white, it doesn’t matter much what his profile looks like.

I just googled “beta uprising.” Dear God.

Just so you guys know. Malia was not interning on the set of Girls. She visited the set, yes, but her internship wasn’t specific to that show.

I’m not against all Christians, just illegal Christians like Kim Davis.

If there’s one occasion when rape jokes are ok, this is it.

It may very well be actually worth that much if you consider potential earnings if you were to engage in sex work.

I guess no one cared about his boner.
