It’s crazy how the right got themselves into such a white frenzy over those assholes torturing that boy on FB. The perpetrators were immediately arrested, charged with all kinds of things, including hate crimes, and most assuredly face stiff jail time. That is what is supposed to happen in a case like this, so people…

I have to say, “He no longer enjoys a ribeye” is not a rape defense I saw coming.

No, it’s not understandable. If you don’t accept your child slapping a kid at the playground when he’s 5, refusing to eat vegetables at 8, shoplifting when he’s 12, and taking the family card for a joyride at 15, YOU DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR CHILD COMMITTING RAPE AT ANY AGE. This ass obviously doesn’t have a daughter.

Maybe, but I’m not particularly inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, given that the balance of his letter is, like “my kid likes steak somewhat less since he got caught in the act of violent rape, so he should get off scot free so he can warn other college guys that they shouldn’t rape unconscious girls they…

Adding my voice to the masses protesting this statement. No, it’s not understandable that he’s on the side of his son, just because he IS his son. Good parents (mine included) focus on correcting bad behavior, and not supporting it just because it happened at the hand of their offspring. There was a kid in my…

There is a difference between continuing to love your child after something like this, and arguing that the rape of which his son was convicted was not a violent act. That is just fucked up, and it’s sure as hell not what a good father would do.

NOPE. Lots of dads would publish open letters saying “I am horrified at the criminal behavior of my son. I have no idea where exactly in his upbringing he developed the ability to be sexually aroused by an unconscious person, but any part in that that I have played, I sincerely apologize for. We have had him screened…

Reminds me of this bit of dialogue from “Girl, Interrupted,” where Susanna (Winona Ryder’s character) asks the psychiatrist how many men a woman would have to sleep with in order be considered “textbook promiscuous.” And how many women a man would have to sleep with to be considered the same. The psychiatrist is too…

Okay, but to be fair, sleeping with a number of people (what number is it that makes someone promiscuous, again?) definitely means you want to be violated while unconscious. Like, that’s just a straight up if-then logic thingy.

“By having people like Brock educating others on college campuses is how society can begin to break the cycle of binge drinking and its unfortunate results.” - holy shit, does he really think the only lesson anyone should take away from this is not to binge drink??? How about DON’T RAPE
