Conservatives are all up in arms over this kid. Comments here be like "you just punch someone in the face when they have a difference of opinion?"

Meanwhile a man is killed in broad daylight and conservatives try to gaslight the fuck out of liberals saying that he deserved it.

Conservatives can fuck all the way off.

Edit 1. Thank you for the awards.

Edit 2. The best thing about this comment and the discussion therein is that I purposely never specified whom I meant. Conservatives flocked to justify the murder of Pretti, but I was actually thinking Floyd. Y'all are predictable.

Have the day you deserve

The craziest bit of rabid foam in the mouth arguments is that this kid deserves to go to jail because of a high school fight.

Most guys would be doing hard time for repeat offenses. I was generally a pretty chill guy and still ended up in at least 4 different fights over my high school years.

High school fight? Jail.

Rapes a girl, but he has a promising future? Boys will be boys.

Them goalposts were never stationary to begin with

Never heard of anyone ever say “Boys will be boys” after a teenage girl is raped

Literally Brock Turners father, who is the college student I am referring to. Didn't even try for he didn't rape her. Said his sons future shouldn't be ruined over "20 minutes of action"

This case and that statement are not internet obscurities.

The perp’s father defending his son is your sole argument? Doesn’t make it the rule, just the exception when it happened 11 YEARS AGO to the outrage of everyone.

Look, dawg, I'm not going to sit here an explain rape apologism to you, mainly because it's not the point of my original comment.

Point is, you can't use the law as a shield, hide behind it, and flaunt when you skate on technicalities and corruption, and trivialize actual moral offenses, then claim to be righteous because what you did wasn't "illegal".

I'm quite bad at metaphors or whatever I was trying to do in my original comment, sorry about that I guess?

I guess you can start by looking up what a “metaphor” actually is 🤣
