Father of Stanford Rapist Argues His Son Should Not Be Punished for '20 Minutes of Action'
The father of Brock Turner, the ex-Stanford swimmer who was given a paltry six-month sentence in a county jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman in 2015, is defending his son?s crime?and saying that he should not be imprisoned for only getting ?20 minutes of action.?
In a letter Dan Turner penned as a diametric opposition to his son?s sentencing?which, in effect, became an indirect defense of his son?s actions?the father of the convicted 20-year-old rapist argued that his son is ?not violent.? Pointedly, he barely addressed the nature of his son?s crime, and instead focused on how the life of the former swimmer (and at one point a projected future Olympian) ?has been deeply altered forever,? and that he will ?never be his happy go lucky self [sic]? again.
The letter was posted to Twitter by Michele Dauber, a law professor at Stanford and one of the driving forces behind the university?s new policies concerning punitive measures in regards to sexual assault on campus. Dauber highlighted the part of the letter in which the elder Turner argued that his son should not be held accountable for the ?steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life,? despite the fact that his ?not violent? son was charged with committing an innately violent offense and convicted of that crime last March.

Brock Turner For 2016 Olympics
1 April ? ? Politics
In a tragic miscarriage of justice, Brock has been found guilty by some betas who probably never got any play in college. This sends the message that only men are capable of making decisions after they've had a few drinks, which belittles women everywhere. Everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions and it saddens us to see that the "justice" system gives one gender a free pass but holds the other gender totally accountable for both parties' actions. Hopefully, this patronizing verdict does not encourage more women to "be that girl," but unfortunately it probably will, just as long as they can get media attention and maybe a payout.
Go with God, Brock! We'll be voting for Trump in the hopes that he will fix things by giving you a well-deserved pardon."
"Brock Turner For 2016 Olympics From what we've gathered, Brock heard her say the word "yes" before she went unconscious. Why can't a girl consent after she's had a few drinks? It's so patronizing to deny girls the right to have fun!

True example of privilege, dickheadery and dimwittery right here.
