About a dozen armed protesters have shown up to the house of convicted sex offender Brock Turner with signs calling for the castration and killing of rapists, and some say they plan to frequently return to make him uncomfortable in his own home.
Turner, who was released from California jail on Friday after serving three months for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman at Stanford University, has returned to his familys home in Bellbrook, Ohio, where some activists with assault rifles have gathered to criticize the light punishment.
With an extremely lenient sentence, he can think I can get away with this, Daniel Hardin, who carried an M4 assault rifle, said in an interview. The message we want to send is If you try this again, we will shoot you.
Turner, a 21-year-old former swimmer at the elite northern California university, was caught assaulting a woman by a dumpster outside a fraternity party in January 2015. After a jury convicted him of multiple felonies, Judge Aaron Persky decided in June not to send him to prison, instead sentencing him to six months in a county jail.

(37 posts)Had I ever been convicted of rape, I would've felt safe in police custody. Had I been released back to the general public.. I fear my parents would've had me 'disappear' rather quickly, and not in any good or pleasant way.

(37 posts)My father always said, 'If we ever find you convicted of a heinous crimes, don't expect any sympathy from us.' Rapists and murderers always seemed to elicit the most passionate response. 'They deserve nothing better but the grave.'

(14,846 posts)I read a late 1800's newspaper article from Northern KY years ago in which an alleged rapist was snatched by the husband's family as he was being transported by authorities from one jail to another (awaiting trial). The family tied him to a tree, sliced him multiple times with knives, gouged out his eyeballs, poured cayenne pepper into the sockets and finally untied the accused to hang him by the neck from a branch.
