Brock Turner, the Stanford rapist, was released on Friday after serving just half of his already pitiful six-month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. And people are understandably unhappy with his early release for "good behavior." In fact, some people are so unhappy that they're camping outside of Brock Turner's house in Dayton, Ohio, armed to the teeth.

I disagree with this. If we are a country of Laws, then we are not a country of mob rule. This past decade, ‘activists’ have camped out and frankly threatened/ terrorized people whom they decided ‘deserved it’ or ‘hadn’t sufficiently paid penance’ or had otherwise violated their particular peculiar codes of ethics. It goes with mob rule, brownshirts, mob rule, hooligans, and everything NOT of the Rule of Law.

To me it is baying hounds and I find it very unsettling that it has become acceptable.

His parents don't deserve it but this guy has no real future in the US. If I were him I'd do what I'm going to do in the next couple of years. Buy a decent sailboat and circumnavigate the world.

He served the time required by the Court, like it or not.
 
The private property protests are getting out of hand. I don't like the verdict anymore than they do, but they have no business camping out in front of that house. Again, this is part of the Obama effect - agitating is what community organizers do.

Well I don't know, if he's still on probation leaving the country is going to require some official permission, and he might have Customs issues landing anywhere to take on provisions as a registered sex offender

registered sex offender

Why don't we have registered killers or registered burglars?
 
While I support open carry in general, I think this type of behavior obviously constitutes threats at a legal level.

His actions have consequences.l

True. But in a civilized society those consequences are determined by law.

A court decided his criminal penalty and it has only been partially served, since he still has his period or Probation to complete.

The legislature of his State, under the guidelines of Congressional law has also has also determined his registration requirements as a sex offender. That means he is restricted as to where he may reside, must declare his residence to law enforcement for publication wherever he does reside, and as a result? He is now subject to unlawful vigilantism as being demonstrated by those "concerned citizens" camped outside his home.

That last burden is not justice.

All he has to do is proclaim that he is muslim and that she was an uncovered whore.

Lynch mobs have always been popular with Democrats. Of course, if it was Frank Lombard who'd been released, and maybe he was, we'd never hear about it.

Good. I hope for the rest of his life and wherever he goes, people point and say...well, never mind. But I don't think the protesters outside his parents' house are being fair to them or the neighbors.

I agree. I don't really see the point of protesting outside his house anyways.

This kind of behavior is sometimes a sign that jurisprudence has lost legitimacy among the citizens. If it is here the case, we shall see more of mob justice as citizens see more and more court rulings that do not correspond to the interpretation of the law as they were socialized to understand it.

Hmph. But I bet if a mob surrounded Kaepernick's house for him refusing to stand for the national anthem, you'd be all for supporting them.

Here comes GC with yet another hit and run post of fiction he invented to claim everyone else believes....

Can we get a master list on when it's ok to critisize anything from you? like how as anyone suppose to know what unrelated hypothetical that hasn't yet occured they need to proactively condemn before discussing the topic on hand?

I don't either. Guessing these people don't have jobs/have nothing better to do. Most people agree that Turner's sentence was ridiculously light, but it was what it was and he served it. He's a registered sex offender for life, and I'm sure you know as well as I do how terrible this consequence is. That and never being allowed--ever!!--to forget who and what he is.

That's a good question. If someone robbed houses before they went to jail why shouldn't their future neighbors know this? Isn't statist logic fun when you take it to its logical ends? lol
 
Why are these people not equally upset about cases like the little 5 yo girl raped in Idaho by migrants.

Or Bill Clinton assaulting over 10 women

How does that answer the question? Also, according to your link forcing them to register doesn't appear to do anything to lower crime.

It doesn't its a waste of money

Its the only crime that forces someone to register .. a killer can get out and he doesn't have to do this
