Trying To Excuse The Inexcusable
-
As if his father's statement to the court wasn't embarrassing enough, Brock Turner, the Stanford Rapist, got support from a childhood friend, who -- this was seriously submitted to the court, without shame -- blamed political correctness for his conviction. You think that in 2016 nobody would seriously try to defend rape, but here we are. This goes even beyond blaming the victim; this, and the father's "20 minutes of action" statement, seems to argue that forcing sex on a drunk, practically unconscious person isn't even a crime. And these people aren't at all embarrassed to say so on the record. (The Cut/New York Magazine)
