Let's play a little game of True or False pertaining to Brock Turner raping an unconscious women, and some possible reasons on why he would do this.
1. She was asking for it: FALSE.
2. She was wearing provocative clothing so she wanted it: FALSE.
3. She shouldn't have drank so much: FALSE.
4. She shouldn't have been alone: FALSE.
5. She deserved it: FALSE.
6. If she didn't fight back, she wanted it: FALSE.
7. He shouldn't be put in jail because, "he won't be able to eat his favorite snacks": FALSE.
8. He shouldn't be put in jail because he's a college athlete: FALSE.
9. He shouldn't be put in jail because he's white: FALSE.
10. He shouldn't be put in jail because "he wanted 20 minutes of action": FALSE.
11. He should only receive a six-month sentence because, "A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him": FALSE.
12. He should only receive a six-month sentence because, "I think he will not be a danger to others": FALSE.
13. He should have the ability to be released after three months of his six-month sentence for "good behavior": FALSE.
14. The judge who gave him this six-month sentence needs to be fired immediately: TRUE.
15. Rape is rape and he needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law: TRUE.
Rape is rape, no matter how you look at it. What Brock did was not only violate this woman, but he took away her sense of safety and security. I am more disgusted, not necessarily by the action, but by the minimal sentence he received and the attempt by his father to justify what his son did. I urge you to do what's right and sign a petition to remove Judge Aaron Persky from his position. Your voice matters.
