Re: TW Rape

(Anonymous) 2016-06-08 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the fact that someone actually got a felony conviction is one of the things that makes it so frustrating. Because the unreasonably high bars that have to be passed to bring a case to trial, and to get a conviction, were passed, and then the sentence is something that - in the context of the American justice system - is extremely minor.

And, with respect, I don't think that six months is the appropriate sentence for the first time a person tries to rape someone. Like, it's an extremely serious crime. I don't think spending a couple months in prison is an appropriate punishment for that - yes, I know, confinement in and of itself is bad, especially in the American prison system, but this is also an extremely serious and violent crime.

At the end of the day, I think it is unreasonable to expect people to start the fight against the American justice system with rich white rapists. That's just how it seems to me. I think it's a good cause, I think this is about the least useful case on which to argue for it.
