I would feel more empathy for the woman if she were seriously wounded or murdered, but she escaped from this with just a very ugly life lesson.

so the woman gets drunk to the point of unconciousness, at a frat party no less, wakes up in a hospital remembering nothing, then writes a letter that goes viral and we are supposed to be outraged? Sorry, actions have consequences.

so the man gets drunk to the point of not caring that he is $%^*&^ing an unconscious woman, gets busted for rape and his dad writes a note that goes viral abd we’re supposed to be outraged? Sorry, actions have consequences.

Gotcha.

Rape is not serious enough for your empathy.

Just wow.

The victim was 23 y.o. and not a student.

“A jury in March found Turner guilty of three felony sexual assault counts for the January 2015 attack, which was interrupted by two graduate students who saw him assaulting a partially clothed woman behind a trash bin. Turner tried to flee, but the students tackled and pinned him down until police arrived and arrested him.”

So would this be “rape” or a life lesson if it was your daughter?

And the key thing is, the presumed Dem nominee turned a blind eye to women who said they were raped/molested/abused by her husband.

Hillary! didn’t turn a blind eye.....she set out to destroy every woman who made claims against Billy.....she has no conscience and no soul. It is beyond reprehensible behavior and I seriously question any woman or man who would vote for this piece of human excrement.

Everyone alive should read her powerful statement.

Money sentence therefrom:

We cannot forgive everyone’s first sexual assault or digital rape. It doesn’t make sense. The seriousness of rape has to be communicated clearly, we should not create a culture that suggests we learn that rape is wrong through trial and error.

It is dumb and reckless to drink too much.

But it is a felony to sexually assault someone,

His name is all over the internet. He has a rape conviction on his criminal record. He will be unemployable at any middle class job for the rest of his life.

Are you saying that she deserved to be raped? That it wasn't a crime? That the rapist was just having a little harmless fun?

Is that what you're saying?

I want to be very clear on this matter.

Yes. She got drunk and was raped. He raped her and was convicted. One can argue over which consequences were worse or if the consequences for one fit his crime.

The father of a former Stanford University athlete convicted on multiple charges of sexual assault has said his son should not have to go to prison for “20 minutes of action”.

His father deserves a serious beating.

Since she was at the frat party I assumed she was a student.

Two stupid drunk people met at a party and neither one remembers what happened, so one goes to jail.

This is why I don’t drink any more. “I don’t recall,” is only a valid defense for Hillary & Co.

I really really hope you don’t have a son you passed your “values” onto.

I thought so, too. But she was a 23 y.o. who went to a party full of college freshmen she apparently didn’t even know, and drank herself to a .25+% BAC.

Our illustrious caretaker in the whitehut wants to do away with criminal convictions disenabling someone from a job. You see, these little pesky serious felonies, which in years gone by would have put you in the gas chamber, are now under Obama just to be considered another form of vacation time!
