He is a rapist. He should to be considered anything else at this point. He’s barely even human for being able to do what he did. I wholeheartedly believe that this isn’t the first time a case has happened like this. It’s time we start to do what we should have years ago and take action. Thankfully, social media is one step ahead and is doing something positive with this case.
Brock Turner raped a woman behind a dumpster. She was unconscious and he did gut wrenching things to her. I don’t want to go into detail because if for some reason the survivor of this case is reading this, she doesn’t need to be reminded of the details.
News stations, the judge, his father and himself are making light of this awful situation. News stations are showing his school photo instead of his mugshot. They are stating his swimming records like we care? His father said that his son’s “life has been deeply altered forever by the events.” That “he will never be his happy go lucky self.” Are you kidding me? That’s disgusting that he could even say that! His father goes on to say that his punishment is “a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.” WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIM HERE? Who knows the price she’s going to pay for her ENTIRE LIFE because of your stupid son! This gets me so heated. I can’t believe someone could even say these things. Towards the end of his father’s letter he began saying that Brock can educate others on “how society can being to break the cycle of binge drinking and its unfortunate results.” HE BLAMES DRINKING FOR HIS SON’S DISGUSTING ACTIONS. I understand standing by your family especially your kid but being a parent also knows when to punish your child. There is no one and no drink, nothing to blame for his actions. What he did that night is unutterable and disgusting. I literally get a pit in my stomach.
What if the roles were reversed? What if he had a daughter who was raped like this OR even his son was raped? Would he still think it’s okay to read about the hard and difficult times the rapist is going through now? This whole incident is gut wrenching.
The fact Brock Turner only got six months and now three because they expect good behavior from him is insane. I guarantee if he was an African American he would be serving the maximum sentence. Racism is real. While privilege is real. Blaming the victim is still real.
To the survivor, you have a whole lot of people on your side and sending you strength. The Vice President, celebrities and many many people throughout the world. I am so sorry for what this disgusting human took from you. I know sorry won’t change the way you feel now but I hope you find peace one day. You are so much more than this. You’re incredible. He is a disgrace to the human race and I hope by some miracle he rots in jail. You’re so so strong. Hang in there.
