It's indefensible but at the end of the day not the kind of thing that warrants an Internet Week of Hate.

I'm sorry, but what? Brock Turner was convicted of sexual assault.

He served 3 months, and likely gave someone else a lifetime of hurt because he couldn't control his sexual urges to the point he was willing to have sex with an unconscious person.

He served 3 months. after being rich enough to post bail and hire decent lawyers.

But somehow, he doesn't deserve hate and this is less bad than grand theft auto?

This became national news and the judge involved was recalled:

We'll all know Brock Turner's name and his crime for the rest of our lives. I believe this is an exception that proves the rule.

I said that Brock Turner got the amount of hate he deserved; I was talking about the guy who pushed an empty wheelchair down the stairs.
