You are my only reason for staying after The Great Moving On from earlier this year. Your words are so powerful and incisive.

Yes, yes, yes. This woman is my newfound, anonymous idol - incredibly strong yet proudly vulnerable, epically eloquent, and most importantly, ANGRY. What’s more, the fact that she was able to channel her anger, stepping back from the experience itself, and speak to the injustices that pertain to thousands of other…

Because he completely ignored the victim, and gave this kid (who was caught red-handed and apprehended at the scene) 3.5% of the maximum sentence... and that’s likely to get cut in half.

These probation agencies who make their recommendations are a complete joke. I deal with this directly. Many of them will call the victim one or two days before their report is due, (surprisingly!) the victim doesn’t answer because it’s the middle of the work day and when they try returning the call (surprisingly!) no…

It makes me wonder if Judge Persky were to fall to the ground and have a seizure, and Brock Turner were to bugger him, would Brock get a longer sentence? How about if Judge Persky took a sleeping pill and fell asleep on his front lawn, and Brock (!) penetrated him somewhere, how long would Turner get? Is it the use of…

It’s good that the article mentions the judge’s name, this way, anyone who lives in his district can make the only appropriate choice when he comes up for re-election next time.

I came here to say, I’d vote for Michelle right now.

I really wonder what she’s going to do next with her life. She’s so intelligent, warm and thoughtful. She’s also clearly ambitious, though I’m persuaded that she has no interest in running for office herself. I love Barry. But when it comes to this next stage of their careers, it’s clearly her turn. Would she write a…

Yes, it’s an outrageous statement. He hasn’t admitted any culpability therefore it’s easy to conclude that he WOULD do it again as he doesn’t see that he did anything wrong. He is most definitely a danger to society and likely to re-offend. This judge is as bad as the rapist.

Just remember, this is a conviction, the best case scenario the other 97% of victims do not ever come close to.

Yep. That quote from the judge -

The thing is, they didn’t even HAVE to listen to women. There were two men that saved her, chased him off, and acted as eyewitnesses to his crime, but his welfare is still prioritized before hers. And arguably, before the welfare of his next potential victim.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

I’m against the death penalty in that the State should not have the right to take a human life. Now, Terry here, he has every right to end that worthless, smirking fuck’s life.

I thought i saw that and I literally felt my lunch move from my stomach to my bowels. Sickening.

I agree with you here. Once there are dead bodies in garbage bags, I start hoping someone will jump out and shoot the guy in the head so we don’t waste time and resources on that piece of shit. He has given up any humanity in my mind and deserves to be put down with no fanfare and no debate, like a rabid dog.

That first example is not a splinter. That’s a piece of wood stuck in your hand.

If drunk history has taught me anything it is that his brother was the true inventor and founder of Kellogg’s cereal!

“Work hard and play hard” companies are an automatic no from me. I work hard, but I will turn off my laptop at six and go play some Stardew Valley. I am not going to go get drinks, and I’m not going to work into the wee hours.
