I know of folks who were sentenced to a variety of prison terms and even death

[malaise]

for one minute of rage. I don't get that father saying that his son shouldn't face a serious prison sentence for twenty minutes of rape.
Something has to give in this macho culture. It's not fair to the majority of the population - it's a violation of the rights of females everywhere. And I hope they fire the judge as well.

1. Father and son are human garbage.....

And of course everyone I know who were all so worried about the non-existent threat from transgender citizens in Target bathrooms are absolutely silent on actual, real world sexual assault.

2. Isn't that amazing

Excellent point - you should start a thread on this.

3. the father

makes is seem like he was drinking; tripped and his penis fell in her. It was a brutal rape and he most likely has done this before and will do it again once he is free.

4. The father has no respect for women - this wasn't twenty minutes of some stupid prank gone wrong -

this was fugging rape. No wonder the son is such a thoughtless criminal mess.

5. The key is that people like this dad don't think women are people.

6. Yep, one minute of rage can cause a hell of a lot of damage. nt

7. There's a whole bunch of people in prison for two seconds of trigger-pulling. (n/t)

8. Are you considering all contributing factors, though?

Surely this affluent white male athlete can't be held to the same standards as normal human beings?

Can he be re-sentenced? There was this similarly disgusting case in 2014 in which a grossly inadequate sentence of 31 days was changed to 10 years.

Of course, according to the judge, the 14-year old "victim looked older than her years and was "probably as much in control of the situation as was the defendant," so maybe the rapist was the real victim in that case, too.

9. only takes a second to pull a trigger. your son got off easy pal, shut the fuck up.
