    Typical SF Bay Area liberal craziness. I'm not too surprised.its becoming very similar to what you see in Amsterdam and the Netherlands. Similar mindsets

    Sometimes I tune into our local radio talk shows (KSFO 560) and to my pleasant surprise, I hear a lot of common sense coming through including the callers

    This gets me so angry. I can't believe he doesn't accept what he did. "Oh, yeah, I'm going to be giving talks on the dangers of alcohol and promiscuous women."

    You can .. RIGHT off.

    Because when you saw those two Swedes turn up to ask if she was OK and you RAN OFF you were thinking "Hey, I believe this girl is not sober. I should fetch her some assistance!" GRRRR!

    It is very difficult to write this post using only family-friendly words.

    What is wrong with these people. "Oh no! Now people don't like that I defended this person! ... I'mma change what I said."

    If his victim hadn't had the strength to stand up and make a fuss of this, this all would have blown over. If she had literally been more hurt and broken, he would have got off more lightly. Crazy.

    If a judge sentences a convicted sexual predator to just six months in jail, does he really belong on the bench?

    The case was no he said/she said scenario of ambiguity and confusion. It was clear from the accounts of the two graduate students who intervened that an unconscious woman was being violated by Brock Turner, a freshman member of Stanford’s swim team.

    A jury agreed, finding Turner guilty of three felony counts: assault with intent to commit rape of an intoxicated or unconscious person, penetrating an intoxicated person with a foreign object and penetrating an unconscious person with a foreign object. The prosecutor wanted six years in prison. The state recommended minimum calls for two.

    But Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky, once a captain of Stanford’s lacrosse team, seemed sympathetic. To the rapist.

    He gave Turner six months in county jail plus probation. Prison, the judge noted in court, would have “a severe impact” on the young man, who after all, thought he was having consensual sex.

    “Enough is enough,” said Stanford law professor Michele Dauber, summing up the feelings of outrage spawned by the sentence. She has launched a recall effort against Persky, a former prosecutor.

    When Persky first ran for judge in 2002, the San Jose Mercury News reported, his campaign biography boasted of his focus on “sexually violent predators, working to keep the most dangerous sex offenders in custody in mental hospitals.”

    I’d love to know why his definition of a sexually violent predator does not include a 19-year-old man who raped an intoxicated, unresponsive 22-year-old woman...
