Did Your Son Rape A Woman? We Mean ‘Drink Excessively And Do Promiscuity To Her’?

[niyad]

(the comments at wonkette are worth reading. the father of this rapist is so clueless that there really are no words to explain (well, words that can be used in polite company, anyway. 20 minutes of out the rapist's life--not one damned word about the rapist's victim)

let's talk about college campus drinking culture and the sexual promiscuity that goes along with that baby

Did Your Son Rape A Woman? We Mean ‘Drink Excessively And Do Promiscuity To Her’?

gonna do some campus drinking culture and the sexual promiscuity that goes along with it all night!

Perhaps you were on the Internet this weekend. If so, presumably you already read the holy shit Buzzfeed letter that the woman who was raped at Stanford wrote to her rapist, young, nerdy Brock Turner. She is a really good writer! It was a holy shit letter! If you haven’t read it, head on over, and we’ll see you back here in … hmmmm, about 20 minutes. Okay, scoot!

So, that was an excellent letter. It made you sad, and angry, and punch something. It was very evocative! You really felt like you were there! Maybe you, like the Swedes on bicycles, would have stopped the rape behind the dumpster. Maybe you would have called someone else for help! Maybe you would have done neither of those things, but instead would inform everyone that alcohol causes promiscuity. Let’s find the relevant portion of this woman’s letter to the man who raped her, which she read aloud in open court.


Unfortunately, after reading the defendant’s report, I am severely disappointed and feel that he has failed to exhibit sincere remorse or responsibility for his conduct. I fully respected his right to a trial, but even after twelve jurors unanimously convicted him guilty of three felonies, all he has admitted to doing is ingesting alcohol. Someone who cannot take full accountability for his actions does not deserve a mitigating sentence. It is deeply offensive that he would try and dilute rape with a suggestion of “promiscuity”. By definition rape is not the absence of promiscuity, rape is the absence of consent, and it perturbs me deeply that he can’t even see that distinction.

We don’t need to belabor this, do we? Brock Turner has been found guilty of three violent felonies; pine needles and dirt were removed from the vagina of the woman who wrote the letter, after he raped her on the gravel behind a dumpster; he admits only to drinking and promiscuity. We are all clear that this is … an inadequate response?

[pinboy3niner]

2. But the poor kid is so depressed that he's not eating his snacks!

[niyad]

3. yes, so why are we not crying rivers of tears for the poor soul?

[AtheistCrusader]

8. Thats the dumbest part of the excuse. He lost his position on the swim team. So he's not eating 4-5k

calories a day anymore training. NO SHIT HIS APPETITE WENT DOWN.

That's like the biggest non-reason wrapped up in a non-apology I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

[Solly Mack]

4. K&R

5. Kick, kick, kick!

[Humanist_Activist]

6. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, like father, like son. What pieces...

Of shit they are.

[pnwmom]

7. And Wonkette is right: that is one HOLY SHIT powerful letter and everyone should read it. n/t

[AtheistCrusader]

9. She slayed every meme and every excuse every rape apologist ever whips out.

It should be required reading in high school.

[Fritz Walter]

10. If Karma is real...

Brock's swimmer-build will make him very popular on his cell block during those 180 days.
4,320 hours.
Or 12,960 intervals of 20 minutes.
Yes, I know: two wrongs don't make a right, but justice was not served in this case. And justice is supposed to be blind.

The dad?
Karma might just have to wait until the next reincarnation. Garden slug? Dung beetle? Other invertebrate?

And as for the judge?
Recall. Which is already being sought.

[niyad]

18. as of earlier this evening, 86,000 sigs at change.org demanding the judge's recall.

I wish for the judge, the rapist and the rapist's apologist father, everything they deserve.

[Bettie]

11. This young man and his father are

horrible people. The young man was clearly never taught to take responsibility for his actions.

The sentencing was just wrong.

But, I take hope in one thing, one small, but important thing.

He was convicted unanimously. Juries so often don't convict on rape, so that is a small bit of good poking out of this horrible thing.

[niyad]

19. thank you for reminding us of that tiny bit of hopeful news. you are correct.

[smirkymonkey]

12. The father doesn't think his son should suffer for "20 minutes of action"

Have you ever heard anything more disgusting in your life? Obviously, we see where this piece of trash gets his morals from.

I hope both their lives become a living hell. I have been on other boards where this father/son duo has been universally condemned, as well as the judge. As usual, DU doesn't seem to have too much of a problem with it.

[mythology]

13. Yeah, that was a mindblowingly stupid thing for him to say

I get that he is in denial that his kid is a worthless piece of crap, but wow.

[Invincibility]

14. Unreal

You see a passed out woman somewhere. What do you do?
Options:
1-Get help for here.(The ethical and proper answer)
2-Do nothing and MYOB.(The selfish answer if you want to avoid potential liability or harm to yourself.)
3-decide to rape her.(wtf is wrong with you).

There's no possible justification for even thinking #3 is the right option. The guy who raped her is either some kind of perverted sociopath, or something went VERY wrong in his upbringing.

And I read he raped her with an object? That makes it even more disturbing. This wasn't even about sex most likely. He just wanted to violate and degrade his victim for some reason. Probably a future serial killer in the making.

[smirkymonkey]

15. I think his father is what went wrong with his upbringing.

And you are right about her being raped with an object. This wasn't about uncontrolled sexual desire, this was an act to violate and degrade the victim. Plus, he ran when he was approached by the two Swedish men who tried to help her. This proves that he knew that he was committing a crime and trying to escape retribution.

[niyad]

20. welcome to du.

rape is NEVER about sex, it is about power and control.

[Rex]

16. The father and son are self-serving narcissistic assholes that should be monitored by LEO.

I would actually want to check the fathers basement for chained up women, they seem the type.

[aikoaiko]

17. This rape really is case study in minimizing responsibility of the rapist.

I understand why defense lawyers are despicable and father's are in denial or lie, but the judge should have seen right through those manipulations.

Sadly the judge seemed to buy into it.

[niyad]

21. as I have said, I think there are some very sick skeletons in that judge's closet.

"gosh, judge, how many women have you raped that you think this behaviour is worth only a tap on the wrist?"

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. The judge also went to Stanford

and was captain of the lacrosse team.

The good news is that the rapist planned on being a surgeon. I don't think he'll find a medical school that will take a registered sex offender.

[niyad]

23. wow, why am I not surprised?

ugh--the rapist was going to be a surgeon? thank goodness we are spared that. wait--does liberty have a medical school?

[smirkymonkey]

24. WTF is "do promiscuity to her" mean?

They can't even call it what it is - Rape. God this case makes me sick.

[niyad]

26. I think that was in reference to the fact that this RAPIST is now, supposedly, creating

some program or other about campus drinking and promiscuity. nothing about rape, consent, etc.,

[REP]

25. I live where this happened

I'm a little tempted to do "20 minutes of action" to, say, the Turners' vehicles with a sledgehammer and see if they can find forgiveness for me; after all, it was just 20 minutes out of 51 blameless years, and I'm from a very good family ...

(In case there's any doubt, no I'm not threatening to actually commit property damage against anyone. My arthritis is too bad to do 2 minutes of action with a sledgehammer, let alone 20.)

[niyad]

27. the rape itself was horrible enough, but the letter from dear old rape apologist dad,

and that damned judge. . . . is there any likelihood of an actual recall on that judge (who has, I suspect, some very nasty skeletons in his closet, as does daddy disgusting)

[REP]

28. From what I heard at my precinct, he won't survive the November vote

EVERYBODY - men and women of all ages - are pissed about it. Nobody wants this judge on the bench.

[niyad]

29. too bad he cannot be removed now, and get off the public teat.

[harrose]

30. The Father needs to serve a long term in prison...

... maybe that will give him some idea of what the victim is going through.

[niyad]

31. I think rapist son learned clueless from daddy disgusting

[harrose]

32. No kidding...

Too bad they can't share a cell together to think about their crimes.
