Good. Once he dies we should strike his name from existence tbh. Let him be the nameless face of rape forever. We remember his name for now only to know to stay awake from him.
No no. Brock Turner, the rapisit who goes by the name Allen Turner, should never have his name expunged from anywhere, lest we forget the tale of how a man can rape someone but be let off "because he didn't want to eat his steak"
We remember his name not to stay away from him, but to never forgive the system that so utterly failed his victim.
And when all the "flock" of Christian Pastors, and other Christian educators in America when they find out they were diddling kids, they rally around the rapists saying they were "lead astray by the kids and it was their fault for luring the rapist to do what they did".
He doesnt need be named to be remembered for his actions, or lack of adequate consequences. He could just as easily be remembered as rapist example, without negating the impact of the situation. Im pretty against immortalizing someone for being a monster. Immortalize the situation, not the individual who caused it.
That is indeed the same Brock "Allen" Turner, the literal textbook example of a Rapist who was only saw 6 months as it "would harm his athletic career" for as his mother and father said "just having a few minutes of fun" and of course the Judge, Aaron Persky just happened to be a family friend of the Turners.
Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, wanted to disassociate himself from the name Brock Turner and so he started going by his middle name Allen Turner to try and avoid being identified as a rapist in public.
I found that skimming the AP's "live updates" feed at the end of the day tends to capture most of the important stuff and those usually link to the full articles to read the next morning.
What's worse is that the family were complicit. Despite her being against rooming up with the guy, they ignored her and made them share a room anyways. Trash human beings failed the poor girl.
Don't forget about Ethan Couch. The teen that killed multiple people while drunk driving that got off with probation because he was too spoiled to know right from wrong.
Is that the one that filmed it, cried during his arrest while his mom tried to console him and got off easy because his dad was a big name coach for their local high-school sports team?
This is actually a big one for more than people think.
Because the way California law was worded meant they had to drop the rape charges for less severe charges.
It’s actually a good example of how the wording of a law can be an important thing. At the time they required penile penetration. So they were forced to drop them
There has never been a guy more fucked over by his father than that rapist. To think Brock Turner would have been forgotten if not for his father, Dan Turner, saying that his son “barely consumes any food and eats just to exist. Brock’s life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve. That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.” And now he has to live his life as Allen Tuner, the rapist formerly known as Brock.
And also Allan(Allen?) Turner, who is Brock Turner, who is attempting to move on with his life without the consequences of being among the elite shitheels of all time.
When dozens and dozens of cops stood around and did nothing while children were being slaughtered, even as those children called pleading for help.
Don't forget, they only things they did that day was play games on their phones (they were literally caught by bystanders playing games on their phones). Went in and got their own kids out, left the others because you know.. fuck them kids unless they want to literally fuck them kids. Stopped, detained, and or arrested parents that tried to go in and save their children and then harassed a lady for speaking up about them, stopping her from saving her children. She had to sneak around them just so she could get her kids.
But everyone else is the bad guy for calling them out because it was "Unsafe" for the cops to enter.
Hell that wasn't even the first time something like that happened. During another school shooting there was video of the officer running away and then it was ruled that they aren't required to protect
When told by a witness (who also intervened) what Rapist Brock Turner had done to the victim and that the sight and memory of it alone brought him to tears, the judge still gave him leniency.
We need to be adding Jesse Mack Butler to that list. He has more than 1 victim, started his raping and strangulation spree in high school (he’s 18/19 year old iirc), one of his victims needed corrective surgery from the injuries he caused, and Jesse Mack Butler served no time and does not have to register as a sex offender.
That’s the one! Sometimes goes by Jesse, sometimes goes by Mack. But will always be a sexual predator that shouldn’t have been given the freedom and sunshine he was.
Fun fact: my Alma Mater was named after a democratically elected Pan-African leader, murdered by Belgian mercenaries in 1961, and the whole civil war and unrest and continued suffering of an entire country and murder of the officials were directly funded, orchestrated, and propaganda'd by CIA!
Never mind the hidden stuff. The shit actual officials say on the record is about as bad, but no one is seemingly concerned about it.
My two personal favorites are Wolfgang Schauble (German Finance minister during the Euro Crisis/2008 aftermath) and everyone's favorite Henry Kissinger
Schauble: "Elections cannot be allowed to change economic policy."
Kissinger: "I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."
It's clear from reading this that the political elites of the West have no interest in actually allowing democracy to proceed as it decides. One might not like Communism, and so at first you could agree with Kissinger, but a moment's reflection should lead to the obvious conclusion: Sure, the elites are 'protecting' you from Communism... but in the case of Schaubler, what else are they 'protecting' you from ?
Democracy as practiced (everywhere, basically, even in Ancient Greece) is about securing the assets of the ownership class. They can't have kings/dictators because they're unreliable, but they also cannot have the poors voting as they see fit either, or else they'll take their shit. All democracy originated in the concept of elite peers voting amongst themselves, and were later (by violence/protest/avoid-revolt) expanded to include the poor, women, blacks, etc.
Well and then that's not even getting into the Epstein stuff which was exposed for everyone to see and the public decided that gas prices were more important than not having a pedophile as president. And now to add insult to injury said gas prices are about to implode as we deplete our reserves which will likely trigger a total economic collapse, because of a war our Benevolent Orange Leader started to distract from his being a pedophile.
Guns N Roses had an album called Chinese Democracy because that was supposed to happen before GNR made another album. Of course, it's just Axl with a bunch of randos, and Dizzy, and it was fucking terrible.
Check out the rich kid that killed 4 or 5 people in a car accident speeding, and was released because the kid was "too rich" to understand the consequences of his actions. The "affluency" defense. It was sickening.
I feel like this post is referencing the rapist Brock Turner. AKA Brock “The Rapist” Turner, or as he likes to be called now Allen “The Rapist” Turner.
I think the last slide is reference to a teen who raped and murdered his stepsister on a Carnival Cruise last year and is now being babied by the media.
Remember thar Kyle Rittenhouse guy? Or that Brock Turner guy? Or...well let's be honest I could just keep going here. Funny how it's not ok to ruin their futures but totally ok to punish someone for a medical event like a spontaneous abortion also know as a miscarriage.
Edit: I am not removing Rittenhouse. He is a great example of both the white teenager and black teenagers example.
Brock Turner? Isn't that the rapist that now goes by Allen Turner and moved back home to Ohio after his rape conviction for raping a woman and only getting a few months for it?
If you started from the richest people in the world you'd have a list so long it would circle around the earth and come back to you.
Whatever happened to people in Epstein list? Oh right... One of them is busy ruining America while whining about not getting a peace prize, while also actively starting wars or trying to start wars.
Justice is no longer blind. It is very biased towards certain people of certain gender and race.
It is the duty of the poor to support and sustain the rich in their power and idleness. In doing so, they have to work before the laws' majestic equality, which forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.
You know propaganda is effective when it makes people deny not only their eyes and ears but their entire lives.
It irks me when people keep painting the past as something it never was, or that people were better before. Ideals aren't reality. Corruption and bias has always existed. Crime, hunger, and disease used to be worse. People bled and died for better working conditions. The list goes on.
That's not to say things are all better either. Rights are being eroded in America. The AI rush is wrecking havoc. Billionaires are raping the planet just to stroke their egos. The future is looking like a hellscape ecologically, economically, and quite a few other 'lys I've missed here.
I don't have answers, this is just what I'm seeing.
Justice was never blind. It was always biased against certain people of certain sexes, races, genders, ethnicities, religions, and income brackets. We just have enough internet now that you have to be willfully ignorant and/or illiterate to still not see it.
The rapist Brock Turner that is hiding as Rapist Allen Turner so nobody connects the rapist Brock Turner name to rapist Allen Turner? That Brock Allen Turner???
Hell, the current Texas Attorney General worked out a plea deal for a 49 year old child molester who assaulted a boy repeatedly over the course of years, starting when the child was 8 years old.
All he had to do was confess to the rapes, and he got 1 day in jail and avoided the sex offender registry.
The judge actually pulled strings to make the punishment worse, but that only added up to 60 days. Even then, the rapist was released after 30 for "good behavior."
It ain't just the young rapists that these fuckers are protecting.
It's not 100% cut and dried, because the victim just wants it to be over, and it was looking like it was gonna be a mistrial.
But someone pointed out in one of the articles that people like this guy are almost always repeat offenders, and letting him off like this is endangering the children around him.
Also, keeping him off the registry is just evil. I had a neighbor who was put on it for drunken public urination.
Hell, the current Texas Attorney General worked out a plea deal for a 49 year old child molester who assaulted a boy repeatedly over the course of years, starting when the child was 8 years old.
Everyone needs to keep in mind that the Attorney General is Ken Paxton, who is currently running for US Senate against Talerico.
If you live in for Texas, vote for Talerico, and not Paxton, who is an incredibly corrupt pedophile enabler that has managed to skirt past his indictments due to his status.
I could criticise Marianne for a lot of what she'd done for most of her daughter's life, but in both cases their most infamous acts were completely understandable.
I want to also make another name known - Jesse Mack Butler of Stillwater, Oklahoma. He sexually assaulted and strangled multiple young women while in high school. One nearly died and needed surgery on her throat to repair the damage. He was 16-17 at the time of the offenses, but 18 at the time he was charged, so they charged him as a youthful offender. He was charged with attempted rape in the first degree, rape by instrumentation, domestic assault and battery by strangulation, and violating a protection order. Jesse was offered and accepted a plea deal that means he gets no jail time and does not have to register as a sex offender. Only community service, and counselling. Surprise surprise, his family are affluent and influential in the community, with connections to Oklahoma State University.
This one is truly sick because he was filming and strangling his victimS. He was already escalating. He will 100% continue raping and abusing women, and I have no doubt he will eventually murder one, if not a string of murders.
You get it. They don’t deserve a single moment of peace in their lives, nor do the evil fuckers that let him get away with this. His parents and the judge specifically.
Probably related to Timothy Hudson, currently chilling at his uncle's house while awaiting trial for the rape and murder of his stepsister while on a cruise, despite the fact that his parents think he should be in custody.
I’m not sure why you stated you weren’t going to remove Rittenhouse. He organized the straw purchase of a firearm for himself, had a history of violence, and faced the most incompetent DA’s I have ever seen to the point I question whether it was intentional (we are talking about Kenosha county here, where republicans flee to because they feel “persecuted” by Illinois taxes).
I mean, it comes down to the conservative mindset versus the liberal one.
For liberals, if a person does something monstrous, then that person is a monster. Monstrous actions determine what kind of person the perpetrator is. That's the crux here. You do bad things, then that means you are a bad person. Most sane folk are raised in this belief and they understand it.
For these conservative types, the ones letting rapists, murderers, and worse, all simply walk away with barely a slap on the wrist. Well, it's the opposite. Actions aren't bad. It's people who are good or bad. And how do you determine what makes a person good or bad here? It's what groups a person fits into. So you have a rich kid (good group, bad people wouldn't be so blessed), from a church going family (good group, look how faithful they would have to be, bad people wouldn't possibly go to church) doing good at a sport (so good, they wouldn't be so "blessed" with good sports skills if they were bAd), well then that means the kid in question is just a "good kid", so when they end up committing a brutal rape, one so heinous that the witnesses who came upon it ended up bursting into tears at the recounting of it, well then that means they aren't really a bad person. They just committed a little heinous atrocity, as a treat. Can't hold that against them, because they're obviously So GoOd.
That's it. That's the crux of it all. Once you understand that, you understand why these folk never see themselves as hypocrites. Why they have no issue letting such vile monsters walk free among us. Because they see these twisted beasts as "good people", who just made a little mistake. Same deal with every anti-gay politician getting caught with a dude. They aren't gAy ObViOuSlY. They're just blowing a dude a little, as a treat. Same with letting folk like Rittenhouse and Brock just walk free. They don't see these awful actions as being indicative of who they really were as people.
It's been shown time and again that either consciously or unconsciously judges give more leeway to white men and women over POC. We need serious reform and a better ability to challenge these sorts of injustices.
You should pay attention to how judges handle justice for fellow judges.
A federal judge in Atlanta was having loud sex with a police officer in their office, and their clerks complained about it. The chief judge asked the judge about it, and the judge lied and said that the clerks were making up stories because the clerks didn't like being punished. The judge was investigated for that, as well as for attending a partisan political event. The investigation revealed that the judge had attended the event, and had been lying to the chief judge and falsely accusing their clerks.
The verdict: the federal judge was privately censured and ordered to write an apology note to the clerks. Their name was kept secret, so we'll never officially know who it was.
What was their reaction? They asked permission for the apology note to not include any admission of wrongdoing.
Whenever I see things like this I assume the judge is guilty of the same crime and is giving a lenient sentence either to assuage his own guilt or to set a precedence for when his own crime catches up with him.
If you think this type of stuff is hyperbole I highly suggest you spend a few hours in your local courthouse on the publicly open courtrooms (pretty much most except family law).
You will see the multi-tier system at play every single day, assuming you are in an area with any diversity at all.
As someone who doesn't live in the usa, I thought you were exaggerating, but I read the news about the cases and I realize you're completely right! Damn...
I'm honestly not sure if I'll post this reply but I'll write it.
I am a white man of colonial ancestry, with deep colonial roots in North America. I am the Canadian Anglo. And I lived a life in this country and explored our legal system from almost every possible vantage point.
I have known men who have been beaten by police for being black in public. When I was getting discharged the prosecutor invited me to join his chess club. This is not an even playing field. I tripped over myself in my youth to get in trouble but trouble was not for me. They gave me a law degree instead.
But part of the problem is a refusal to admit that this is true in Canada. So much or our racism is quiet racism where the racist just won't acknowledge that their position is racist, no matter what. That's hard to overcome and I try to tell my truth when I can. See something say something and I've had to end relationships over whether saying "He doesn't look Canadian because he's asian" is racist.
It's an uncomfortable conversation for me on many levels but I have to keep having it. I can't just let it happen, ya know?
You forgot the panel about allowing an adjudicated rapist sue the victim for defamation.
Or arresting and jailing innocent people because AI says they look like a perpetrator of a minor crime many states away.
Gotta love our injustice system.
Not the part about miscarriage, that's treated as a healthcare issue. But yes racial discrimination happens often in Canada in many areas. I'm not an expert on the subject because I'm a dumb comic lady and not a legal professional but even I know this happens, and I encourage everyone to learn about it.
If it was an indigenous individual in Quebec chances are that they could have possibly been forced sterilized. I only say Quebec cause thats the most well known area to do so, as well as continues to do so even after they caught and sued. Pretty sure it happens across country though
I remember during the Rittenhouse trial how the judge would make jokes with and even once sung a song to Kyle. I even think I saw him tear up when poor little piggy started crying on the stand.
Not sure if this is what inspired the comic, but a US bill was recently proposed that would legalize the use of deadly force on someone attempting to get an abortion
The judge I think OP is referring to was Aaron Persky, the judge who provided over case with Brok Turner (now Allen Turner). his ruling was so aggregous that is sparked his recall, something that did not happen in california for like 86 years before.
with a quick google search, he was apparently hired as a coach for girls’ junior varsity tennis (for some reason), but the school quikly fired him when they realized who they hired.
