Letter to Brock Turner

Dear Brock Turner,

Let me start this off by saying how disgusting you really are. You are the worst nightmare of every college student, whether it's a man or a woman. A night after drinking, all most of us want to do is go home, sit on the couch with friends, and eat pizza. That's honestly a perfect night you to have during these times in college. You know what kind of night we don't want? The kind that leads us behind a dumpster with a man that seemed friendly only to find out that all he wanted to do was to take some clothes off. Apparently to you, no consent means yes. I don't care if it seemed like she was flirting with you and she made a comment about going back to her place, you're disgusting.

Years down the road, you might be lucky enough to find a woman that loves you and wants to have a family with you. What are you going to do if you have a daughter and she gets raped? Are you just going to act like it's no big deal and that he should only have three months in jail? I would hope you would want the worst for that man who does such a horrendous thing to your daughter. But if you say you would want him to suffer in prison, then you are also a hypocrite. It's simply the fact that you are the one getting charged that has made you wish for the Judge to go easy on you. Why? Because you're a swimmer? Because it would hurt you too much to be in there? Or because you promise to be good? I personally don't care what it does to you. You're nothing but a rapist now. You did that to yourself.

So next time you look in the mirror, just know that you ruined a woman's life to the point where she can't even look at herself. You put this thought into the rest of our head's that we aren't as safe as we thought. You are the reason why society sucks. I can only wish the worst for you at this point

Sincerely,

College Students (everywhere)

The day you walked onto your school's campus for the first time you were scared, excited, and unsure of how the next four years of your life were going to turn out.

Now you've got 25 problems and graduation is only one.
