Except, you know what? He is a monster. He either took a woman from a party or came across her passed out, and instead of trying to help he proceeded to rape her. And despite what his shitbag father thinks, committing a crime for 20 minutes is an insanely long amount of time.

Also, the fact that there were two people who saw what was happening and didn't just keep going but stopped to help. That gives me hope.

And I hate this very calculated language that implicitly excuses him - he was involved in it, people are putting him in a certain light... No, he raped a person, he chose to do it, he actively went and did it, it was his doing, he elected to rape an unconscious person, he could have not done it but he did it. That’s…

“[...] rape on campus isn’t always because people are rapists.”

I mean, look, OK — I can imagine that it might be shocking and very upsetting if a close friend or family member of yours whom you always thought was a great person was accused of such a thing. You might have a hard time believing it at first, and be in some denial. I guess that’s almost unavoidably human; it’s hard…

It sounds like he is surrounded by a bunch of asshole enablers who have always told him he can do no wrong. So shocking that he ended up as a remorseless rapist.

I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right I would be pilloried but she really was promiscuous, and Brock should be allowed to teach that course on female promiscuity and drinking and how it leads to all sorts of bad things for the men involved.

Leslie Rasmussen and her band Good English are headliners of the Dayton Music Art and Film Festival in September. Go to their Facebook page and tell them RAPE APOLOGISTS should not be the face of an inclusive, celebratory event.

I’m a man who has been blackout drunk many times. Even with serious “clouded judgement” moments there was never a time where I thought “I should have sex with this unconscious girl”. You either have morals or you don’t. He doesn’t.

Does she honestly think it makes a lick of difference to rape survivers if the person who assaulted them was “nice” to other people?!?

What the hell is wrong with every person in convicted rapist, Brock Turner’s life?

“Rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists.”

Because I respect his relationship with his family too much. But he is dreamy.

Teams keep doing this and keep getting caught. You’d think by now they would’ve learned.

That looks absolutely miserable. Back in my college days, when I was a complete dummy, I might have thought trying to attend something like that or Time Square on NYE would be fun. Now I do not. I hate crowds so much, it does not matter what the show is. I am done with concerts and sporting events.

I’d think that whatever space Kanye occupies at any time could be considered a living hell.

There are, of course, people who are forever judged by 4 seconds of their lives. 20 minutes is time enough to enjoy a sitcom, a quick meal, a short walking of a dog, a shower, a bombing, an earthquake, a nap... 20 minutes is more than enough to be both influential and insignificant. 20 years can go to rot in 4…

This makes me so angry I can barely breathe. Hey Shitbag! This is 1/1000th of what it’s like to live with being raped EXCEPT YOU FUCKING DID IT.

Takes a lot less than 20 minutes to kill someone, and you don’t see murderers trying to pull this excuse.
