And, dear lord, equating rape with promiscuity. Like father like son. Apples, trees, distance. Birds, feathers.

Something tells me his fathers a possible rapist who blames victims.

And that’s just the half of the awfulness of that particular phrase. “...20 minutes of action.” Action? He calls what his son did action? What a steaming pile of toxic sewage. (Both the father and what he said.)

It’s not actually understandable. If my kid raped someone I would not be on their side. I would be angry and devastated and sure I’d fucked up majorly.

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.

Good parents know when to tell their children, “NO”.

No problem with him being on his kid’s side. Kind of a huge problem with him ISSUING A STATEMENT when his kid just got a criminally lenient sentence. Just shut the fuck up, let your kid serve his six months, and be grateful the world still revolves around privileged white guys.

“Never will he be his happy go rapey self again”

But that’s impossible! You had alcohol in your system!!!

My parents love me. They will love me no matter what. They would come visit me in jail. They would not defend me raping somebody.

It’s truly an enigma.

But how!?!???? Almost like you are responsible for your own actions!?!??

His whole letter makes me want to tear my hair out, I’m so angry

That’s all the son thinks he did wrong too. He blames binge drinking and sexual promiscuity. Wonder where he got that.

I drank a shit ton of wine last night and I managed not to rape anyone.

Every time I read a report about someone being beaten or choked, I think about how long two minutes is when I’m stirring cake batter or kneading bread. It’s always longer than I think it will be. To imagine a child being harmed for that long, or for someone to have to look into the face of an attacker, is so…

I remember when Irreversible came out and people were horrified about having to watch ten minutes of the one-take graphic rape of Monica Bellucci. It was awful and incredibly upsetting; I barely managed to sit through it.

“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

And my only thought: How many times has his father forced his “20 minutes of action” on some victim?

20 minutes out of a life is actually a really long time to violate someone when you consider that you can kill in seconds. Time isn’t indicative of harm.
