No no, often the laws are named after the victim and not the perpetrator. People will misunderstand the name. So it needs to be called something like ‘Never Forget Brock Turner Is An Unapologetic Rapist And Got Away With A Slap On The Wrist Law’

I agree there’s valid reasons to oppose mandatory minimum sentences in general but I highly doubt your possibility. I made a longer comment later in this thread but this sentencing discrepancy really tracks the way laws have evolved (or not) with our evolved understanding of rape.

I like the way you think!
I like this as it can also refer to wife beater extraordinaire Ike Turner!
It’s a good point, though, and I don’t think it’s nitpicking.

Drinking 1:1 V8 and water is great.
I’m mostly pointless too, yet I still exist.
Gatorade is a lot easier to stomach when I have a bad hangover than water + food. That’s literally the only time I ever drink it. Or maybe if I get really dehydrated on a hot day and just want something fast and convenient.
