If Brock Turner had any vision of his life picking up where it left off after the fateful night he chose to brutalize and rape a young lady as he attended Stanford, he has another thing coming. Picketers are standing watch at his home in Ohio, and they are not about to forgive and forget. “He’s not gonna live some happy, pleasant life,” another protester said on a different radio station, WHIO. “We’re going to never let him forget what he did,” said another of the many protesters camped outside Turner’s home.
Dozens of animated protesters this weekend staked out the Dayton, Ohio home of convicted rapist Brock Turner who was released Friday after serving only 3 months of a lenient 6-month sentence. The protesters carried pistols, shotguns and assault rifles. They hoisted signs that read “castrate rapists” and scrawled messages on the concrete that read“shoot your local rapist”.“If the justice system failed [Turner], then the community will not,” one protester who was upset at the lenient sentence and early release told a local radio station, WCPO. “We know what he did, and we’re not going to forget.”
I’m not surprised the “Young white privileged Stanford student” served such a short sentence. Palo Alto is home to Stanford, the left leaning Harvard of the West. Home of Nancy Pelosi , as left wing as can be found, and alumni Chelsea Clinton. San Francisco and home of liberal 9th court of Appeals. Easy to connect the dots. But regular hard working people are not happy with the short sentence. The poor young lady has to deal with this the rest of her life, horror lurking around every corner. And good old Brock did 3 months! We should have a mandatory sentence for crimes like this, not just sentences based on whims of appointed judges. I hope he lives in constant regret and fear as the victim does, for all his life. What do you think?
