I’m just reminded of all the conservatives who are acting like these transphobic bathroom laws are rooted in a desire to protect women and girls from being raped. Then I think about Brock Turner and Owen Labrie and Lonnie Franklin, and countless others who either get reduced sentences or are not caught for years. And…

I’m pretty much where he is in terms of a disability which looks so bleak that you don’t see any signs of hope, so I can absolutely understand taking that path. It’s one I think about taking a lot.

Anything less than an enthusiastic “yes” is a no for me.

Probably not, but I suspect if a man raped his son while he was passed out, this guy would be advocating for the death penalty.

Look, he obviously woulda raped her for a lot longer, except those two Swedish fruits came along and stopped him, but the point is, he only did it for 20 minutes! Numbers!

I have never once in my life heard the word promiscuous describe a male.

Every time I hear that “sexual promiscuity” phrase in regards to this case, I feel like it’s blaming the victim once again. No way does Brock or his father believe Brock was promiscuous. They believe the victim was. It infuriates me.

with news stories like this though i’m pretty sure we are living in the darkest timeline

Women who drink are asking for it. Men who drink can’t help themselves.

Perhaps the father who raised this piece of shit human should have spent at least 20 minutes teaching his child that rape is a crime. Perhaps he should have spent 20 minutes explaining to his son that his boner and hormones do come before the life of another person. Fuck, is there is no limit to Our societies disdain…

This is obscene. I will tell you, as a survivor who has continually struggled to form meaningful relationships in the 13 years since I’ve been raped, still has anxiety attacks, still has not had a serious relationship with a partner, rape can be a lifelong sentence for victims. I persevere and am fortunate to have had…

So by his logic, can I get off scott free if it only takes me 10 minutes (or less) to beat the ever loving shit out of this motherfucker and/or his son?

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.

Where is the victim, here? Who was on the receiving end of that “short action”? Doesn’t matter, apparently. Her loss of appetite, loss of sleep, loss of security are irrelevant. What she could offer the world pales in comparison to what swims Swim Boy might have swam.

Great. Now rapists can claim, with precedence, that if they’re premature ejaculators, they deserve less prison time because it was so short and no one had a satisfactory orgasm.

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

Gee, I can’t imagine how this guy thought raping someone was ok with a father like that. Clearly he grew up learning how to take responsibility for his actions, among other lessons on how to be a decent human being.

Actual draft dodgers, though, have his approval:

Lest anyone too young to know might think the draft dodger angle is the biggest insult in this tweet, refusing to call him Ali, and instead insisting on calling him Clay was the racist dog whistle of choice back then. Racist whites refused to do so for years after.
