. . . but some of the same people who claim to be so concerned quickly turn to blaming the victim in cases like Brock Turner.

You Want To 'Protect' Women In Bathrooms. What About From Actual Rapists?

That idiot HuffPo blogger must not be paying attention. People are pissed that Brock Turner received such a light sentence.

The author of that article is a raving extremist far left nut job.

Rapists should be punished in accordance with the law and the sentencing practices of that jurisdiction. That certainly applies to this person.

Was there even one conservative person of note who spoke out defending this judge? This article and this thread appears to suggest that there was, or that conservatives for some reason were supportive of the judge's verdict or were standing in defense of this rapist getting some sort of special treatment here.

What a bunch of constant, relentless off-the-chain liars leftists are. This thread just serves to illustrate that irrefutable truth, yet again, in case any additional proof was actually needed on this point, which it clearly isn't.

I feel less safe walking down the street and never worry about the bathroom as a danger zone.

I definitely agree that EVERYONE needs to condemn rapists and never blame the victim. That said, The huff post is a joke.

Ok, now, you do something here that very clearly relieves the right of any guilty by saying 'conservative person of note' as if this is all that matters. A lot of conservatives of note are against Trump. Yet, he's going to be the uncontested nominee, which for better or worse means the majority of conservative voters chose him willingly and a lot of people think that's ridiculous. Does this mean we cannot criticize conservatives because establishment Republicans oppose Trump?

Same deal here. No, no notable conservative politician is going to destroy their political career by commenting in favor of a rapist. Did you see the ****storm that followed Huckabee around after he defended the Duggars? Given just how much more outrageous this story is, defending Brock Turner would not be a wise PR move. But, there are a lot of people who lean conservative saying things like 'well, had she not gone out' as if this is relevant. There aren't many liberals saying that. And if any are, they're just as stupid as the conservatives, but of those saying things like 'she should have stayed in' all seem to be politically on the right in some degree.

In fairness to your point, I don't think most conservatives think that way. But there are more conservatives who do than liberals who do. So while the criticism may be exaggerated, the criticism isn't entirely invalid.

I am not aware of any particular conservatives who hold the views that you and the off-the-chain leftist liars at the Huffington Post say.

What particular conservatives are you people referring to? Or are you just pulling these apparent falsehoods straight out of your tail-pipes in the traditional, long-held leftist fashion, as it appears that you are?

Back your assertions up with some names, if you have any that you can substantiate. But of course nobody should hold their breath waiting for leftists to engage in truth-telling, for obvious reasons. LOL.
