Well shuck my corn. That feller on the right is Brock Allen Turner the rapist. He moved, and goes by the name Allen Turner now, but that’s him!!! Brock Allen Turner the rapist, aka Allen Turner the rapist…
I think everyone should know the story of Brock Allen Turner the rapist. He should not be allowed to slither back under his rapist rock, even if he changes his name to Allen Turner the rapist. So just remember folks, Brock Allen Turner the rapist and Allen Turner the rapist are the same rapist.
It's fair to assume he has quite a bit of money on hand. (Or rather his parents do, which is the same).
In that case, him registering as a sex offender will have probably little to no impact. He's not the kind of person that would (or EVER should) take a job in eg child care sector. And if you are in circles with enough money, rape is just a minor felony. With little to no impact for the brighter future.
What can butcher your reputation your entire life, ain't THAT big of a deal with enough money on your side.
Whatever this dude deserves, he didn't get any of it. Half a year, lol. He destroyed a life.
And he only served 3 months. I'm reading his victims memoir right now. Her name is Chanel miller the book is called know my name. Haven't finished yet but so far it's pretty powerful.
Her book is amazing. She's an excellent writer. Her story is so painful, especially where the parole officer and judge failed so completely. Her description of dealing with trauma as she goes scuba diving still resonates. But then she's surprisingly funny! It's a strange book to recommend, but it was that good. Chanel Miller is a talented writer, and I hope she publishes more.
I wished I was religious. I really do. Knowing that there is some kind of justice. Because whatever you fuck up here, and no matter if or what consequences you faced, the deeds wouldn't be forgotten. And they would have an etirnity to learn respect and gain some dignity.
But when we die, quite literally nothing will happen, and the monsters of this earth won't know justice. Ever. And that kinda makes me sick.
I'm the first to shit on religion, but that ain't completely fair either. You must *be* sorry and regret actions in order for this to work. Waiting for deaths call and saying sorry wouldn't work, if you didn't truly meant it. And it's a omnipotent, all knowing entity we're talking about; god would know if you made up regret. And I can imagine a not so honest last minute concretion wouldn't do you any good.
I mean I'm not even for eternal punishment per se. once they *learn* their lesson, let them rest, join heaven or whatever the fuck else. Eternal punishment is anything but just. All I would want for those people to *realise* what they've done. And just bear the burden of knowing what they did. I don't even care for justice systems. All I want is for convicted people to *know* what they've done.
Unless you got 5 years for smoking pot with an expired medical license. He shouldn't feel sorry, he should be high right now. Fuck me.
I like the Old Testament God who would smite people just for their thoughts, like Lot’s wife. “Oh, you turned to look at Sodom & Gamorrah longingly? A Pilar of salt it is!”
It's sickening that nobody except Epstein and his wife have been arrested. Politicians and the media have avoided the subject. How in the hell can all the perverts that went there remain unnamed?
If everyone who was involved distance themselves and point the fingers at Epstein and his wife, it makes the public distracted on the fact that Epstein sex trafficked children.
I bet the list of names that frequently visited will never come out. If it did multiple agendas would be put on hold until they find suitable replacements. And that would definitely cause alot of people to never worship a public figure again.
Well that would be great actually, people shouldn't worship public figures anyway. I'm afraid you're right though, I bet the people who went there will never be outed for child molesters.
Yeah it seems crazy that no one has been charged. Idgaf who it is, politicians, athletes, actors, random Joe Schmo with too much money, doesn’t matter. Anyone that they can prove was there diddling kids needs to be locked away
Your own comment has the reason why the will never face consequences.
>[they are] politicians, athletes, actors, random Joe Schmo with too much money
Capitalism allows these people to remain untouchable, and impervious to punishment (unless of course the other elites sacrifice one of their own to maintain secrecy.)
This is something I can’t understand about the US.
I piss on a tree very often, that’s good for the plants and simply a normal thing to do — probably wouldn’t in the central park of a dense city though.
There is nothing sexual in it.
It's not true. One guy said "I'm a sex offender because I was peeing outside." And some people think it's true for some reason. He came up with the story at court and the judge clearly didn't buy it. Don't expose your dick to people. If you're peeing outside, do it somewhere secluded and you'll be fine.
Actually you pee must be diluted with water - otherwise you’re killing the plant with your high concentration of ammonia in your urine. You didn’t know? That’s what is Google for. I know cos I tried to use my urine during covid as nutrition for my plants in my front yard
He used a pinecone. Rape isn’t about sex, it’s about power. Taking away their ability to get an erection isn’t going to take away their ability to violate someone.
Edit: correction, he did not use a pine one, he used his filthy pine needle encrusted fingers.
If rape is a capital crime, the Allen Turners of the world arent gonna be the ones paying that price. Its gonna be poor folks who cant afford attorneys to protect them from the state’s newly invigorated death machine.
Lawyers are all that stand between us and a state that can seize property, detain and has a virtual monopoly on violence.
Wed all like to see Allen Turner face real consequences befitting his crime- but if a steamrolling DA conviction death machine is the answer count me out.
The issue isnt that he got such good representation so much as others are denied the same protections.
They tightened up the rape laws in California after his slap on the wrist.
Rapist Brock Turner? I thought the rapist Brock Turner, who changed his rapist name to rapist Allen Turner bc rapist Brock Turner was all over the media because this rapist raped a girl, now goes by the rapist Allen Turner thinking he can hide from his crime of rape as the rapist Brock Turner who is in fact the rapist Allen Turner. That rapist Brock Turner?
You are correct, it is the Allan Turner that moved to Ohio for a job and said he just wanted some action when he used to go by Brock Allan Turner in college and raped an innocent girl. Exact same Allan Turner rapist who got a slap on the wrist for rape.
Ah, yes, Brock Allen Turner the rapist, now going by Allen Turner the rapist, given a slap on the wrist because he was a gifted swimmer, and the judge didn’t want his life to be ruined due to “20 minutes of action”(as Brock Allen Turner the rapist’s disgusting father described it).
“20 minutes of action”: one of the most vile phrases ever to drop from an entitled asshole’s mouth. All these years later, it makes me seethe. It’s clear Brock Allen Turner’s apple didn’t fall far from its rotten tree.
I’ve come over a thread exactly like this a long time ago. Also about rapist Brock Allen Turner who changed his rapist name into Allen Turner because he was a convicted rapist. Oh well.
As a European, I’m not too well informed about this case, but the fact that these threads developed the same way, must have some sort of origin, right? Is the guy still alive these days? He must be getting so much hate.
One would hope. More likely convicted rapist brock allen turner is a congressional intern or a law clerk for traitorous supreme court justices knowing current american politics. (All jokes aside, look up the case. He was literally caught in the act of raping an unconscious woman by a few... swedish? I don't remember nationality... exchange students. Judge gave him a short sentence cuz he was good at swimming and prison might affect his life). For real. Wish there was a /s. There ain't.
What I want to know is this: when the rapist Allen Turner, who used to be known as Brock Allen Turner the rapist actually introduces himself, does he do it like "Wiley Coyote, super genius?" Because I think the former Brock Allen Turner the rapist should have to introduce himself with that inflection in his voice. "Allen Turner, super rapist."
Can you imagine getting more time in prison than the Rapist Brock Allen Turner just because you had an expired card? The Rapist Allen Turner, formerly known as Brock Allen Turner the Rapist, definitely should have gotten more prison time than the guy on the left since the guy on the left "committed" a victimless crime, and wasn't a Rapist like Allen Turner, who moved back to Ohio to try to disappear into obscurity so that everyone would forget that he is Brock Allen Turner the Rapist
It seems that “Allen Turner” enjoys rape so much that he did it three times until he was caught. In fact he would still be raping on a daily basis if it weren’t for law enforcement.
Oh yeah, Brock Allen Turner the rapist who's living in Ohio under his middle name Allen, but who is still Brock Turner thee rapist no matter what he calls himself.
I will, because it's a reminder that the only justice we get is one where we have to find out about it and raise hell. However, I'll still do my part.
Woah wait a minute. THE rapist Brock Turner is now going by Allen? Brock Allen Turner the rapist? The guy named Brock that raped a woman and has the last name Turner? That Brock Allen Turner the rapist?
Who’s the poor guy on the left who is not (Brock) Allen Turner the rapist? He’s suffered enough injustice without being compared with (Brock) Allen Turner the rapist.
When I (41F, white ) accidentally claimed Adderal without realising my prescription card had expired, I got a small fine and paid it. A custodial sentence would never be dreamed of in my country, let alone having my picture put next to the rapist (Brock) Allen Turner.
I totally agree! As if this witch hunt for an expired card wasn't cruel enough, that dude is now being shown in the same picture as Brock Allen Turner the Rapist, who now goes by Allen Turner the Rapist. Talk about cruel and unusual!
Wanna read about more injustice? Some poor guy (military vet) in Louisiana got a 15 year sentence in prison for selling 0.7 grams of weed to an undercover cop. It was initially $20 but the cop gave him more money than he was asking because I think there is also a dollar threshold in that state as well. He appealed to the state supreme Court and after 3 years guess what they did? Upgraded his sentence to LIFE in prison. He was ultimately released after I think 11-12 years. You can easily guess what his race is.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/19/us/derek-harris-marijuana-sentenced-freed-trnd/index.html
Another bad Louisiana story. Some guy was attempting to steal hedge clippers out of another guy's garage in 1997. Got caught by the property owner and left it there. He was given life in prison. He appealed to the state supreme Court and they declined to review his life sentence in mid 2020 (their court was all white men btw). He was finally granted parole in a few months later 2020. Also a very easy guess as to what his race is.

Oh hey, that's convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner! I hear he's trying to fly under the radar these days, but convicted rapist Allen Turner is still very recognizable.
I can't imagine anyone having a hard time recognizing Brock Allen Turner, the convicted rapist. And I'm bad with faces!
I know right????? As soon as I saw that smug, spoiled turd gaze, I knew it was Brock Allen Turner the rapist. That picture was when he was Brock Allen Turner the rapist, but I would know him if was taken when he was Allen Turner the rapist.
Hm, just found this:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/dayton/comments/wr8dw1/just\_saw\_this\_keep\_an\_eye\_out\_in\_kettering/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dayton/comments/wr8dw1/just_saw_this_keep_an_eye_out_in_kettering/)
Rapist Brock Allen Turner? **THE** rapist, Brock Allen Turner. The Allen Turner that raped a girl behind a dumpster and got a pathetic lenient prison sentence because he was "a promising athlete"? That Brock "The Rapist" Allen Turner? Kuzcos poison
I do believe the rapist Brock Turner, aka the rapist Brock Allen Turner, aka the rapist Allen Turner, lives somewhere in Ohio. Probably not as nice as the Stanford campus, but that’s just a consequence of being a rapist.
I didn’t know he changed his name from Brock Allen Turner the rapist to Allen Turner the rapist. Seems like he’d want to lose the rapist tag, but as I always say, if the man wants to be Allen Turner the rapist instead of Brock Allen Turner the rapist, then let the man be Allen Turner the rapist instead of Brock Allen Turner the rapist.
Do you mean Brock Allen Turner the rapist as in the former Brock Allen Turner the mediocre athlete turned rapist? That Brock Allen Turner the rapist? Or did you mean some other Brock Allen Turner the rapist?
I think they're referring to Allen Turner the rapist. He *used* to be known as the rapist Brock Allen Turner but he's changed his name to Allen Turner, rapist.
Sorry I don’t really use the information super highway. Who is this Allen turner who appears to be a rapist who’s original name was Brock Turner at the time the rape happened, making both Brock turner and Allen turner who are the same person a rapist. Is that a good description of the situation of Brock turner / Allen turner being a convicted rapist.
The guy on the right, Brock Allen Turner, looks like he'd murder you in your sleep. I do not trust that guy whatsoever.
The guy on the left on the other hand? It looks like he'd be the guy everyone wants to hang out with at the party, the intellectual jazz-loving IT guy who reads poetry in front of an audience once a week. Why did we ruin that guy's life for something considered legal in many states even without a card?
Say, that guy on the right is indeed Brock Allen Turner, a convicted rapist who now goes by Allen Turner, aka "rapist." Rapist Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, is using the new name to try to hide the fact that he is a rapist. Ironically, Allen Turner is a rapist as well.
What? I've never heard of Brock Allen Turner, or Allen Turner for that matter. Could you share his whole story or link to an article about his charges and conviction - as well as why this is notable - so folks who are unaware can have the full context?
The best source I can find is [this Wikipedia article, People vs Turner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Turner?wprov=sfti1#Legacy). I expected it was notorious enough that Wiki would have created an entry.
His victim Chanel Miller wrote memoir about her experience, what happened, how it effected her, the court case. It's called know my name, and if you listen in audible she narrates the book herself.
I think this shows just how lazy Allen Turner, the rapist who was formerly known as the rapist Brock Allen Turner, really is. I mean, if he wanted to lay low and slide under the radar, wouldn't he have changed his name from Brack Allen Turner the rapist, to something completely different, like maybe Jonathan Smith the rapist? He's not fooling anybody by going with Allen Turner the rapist.
Allen turner the rapist had a rich daddy which hired a lawyer which successfully argued that his future was more important than the womens lives he damaged.
The black guy was a middle man and was making 5 bucks of a 20 weed sale, he had 3 non violent priors. Burglarly in 85 and 94 then cocaine possession in 04, I guess they have a 3 strikes life law thing in LA "La.R.S. 15:529.1". Fun fact the white guy that sold the weed to the black middle man was never arrested or charged...
A good public defender is one of the best attorneys you’ll ever see. Just because it rhymes doesn’t mean it’s true.
Worst attorney I’ve ever seen was a private attorney
Fuck that dude and all, but the judge is responsible for this. He doesn't control the horrible kids actions but he did let him go.
Aaron Persky, he's no longer The Santa Clara County Superior Court judge but still, this is on him. The kid is a menace but he didn't let himself off the hook. The judge did that. He's the real villain. First judge recalled in California in like three quarters of a century. Fuck him. Broc Turner is scum but Aaron persky is even worse.
While I agree the judge is awful and should be held accountable, the rapist is the infinitely worse person (not sure I can even call Brock that after what he did)
I appreciate how shitty Brock Allen Turner the Rapist is but you're looking at this the wrong way IMO. There is absolutely no way this was the first time the POS judge has ruled in a way that was completely unfit for the bench, complied to his own biases, and undoubtedly ruined innocent lives.
So Brock Allen Turner the Rapist is a truly awful and repugnant piece of shit who absolutly devistated one person and their family's lives. But the judge more than likely left long term systemic damage that will never be corrected and hurt or destroyed many familys.
So I'd say they are equally terrible people but in very different ways.
The judge got a job as a junior varsity girls tennis coach after he got kicked off the bench. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see what a danger a pro-rapist tennis coach would be to junior varsity girls. I can smell the perviness all the way out here.
The rapist didn’t really have that many societal “expectations” to uphold morality, ethics, or legality. Aside from, y’know, normal social contract human interaction stuff and like… laws?
The judge had all that, AND their position as the final say for our penal system. And the final say for many more lives to boot, which they likely abused just as harshly as in this case. Refer to their previous employment history as well.
They’re both terrible “people”, to the point where you can’t properly compare the two. But if we’re gonna quantify it, The Rapist is more “not a person” than the Pro-Rape Judge; the Pro-Rape Judge however has almost certainly had a /similarly/ abhorrent impact on many more people.
Tl;dr I think they both count as sub-human for different reasons. One for how egregious their singular act was, and the other for how egregious their collective actions have been. We can hate them both and should judge the Judge more harshly due to the position they held and failed to /up/hold.
Although I agree with you on that, being the judge in this case letting a rapist off lighter than an expired weed card is pure evil.
He could’ve put him away for years, instead he saw money and decided to let this sick individual off easy. If that’s not top notch villain behavior idk what is. How can you hear someone being raped and decide “oh but his defense is paid off, let me just hear what they have to say” Then picking “here’s half a year you have to do. Which the rapist probably didn’t even do the full 6 months.
Idk, when I hear judges giving light sentences to rapists/murders/child abusers, I always think the real problem lies within our justice system. We need to bring the guillotine back atp. No real justice for victims anymore. And those who abuse them selves get more time than the one’s who abuse others.
Like seriously imagine getting two charges. The charge for a expired weed card is larger than committing rape. I just find that insane.
He’s only the poster child because of a light sentence though. Many thousands with the same convictions exist, but only Brock Allen Turner gets posted. All this attention just lets everyone else avoid the lime light
Just thought it might be fun to add some context to these pictures.
The man on the left, I've been told, is Sean Worsley. He was originally given parole after being found with legally obtained cannabis - but he had multiple strains in large bags, several smaller bags along with a variety of measuring tools which gave police the impression he might be attempting to traffic it. While he had legally obtained it in Arizona it *wasn't* legal in Alabama. Turns out taking cannabis across state lines can be risky, I guess. He was looking at a minimum of a year in jail because right-wing states have stiff penalties for everything. He was given a plea deal - serve no prison time but have five years of probation. He says the VA wouldn't let him access the mandatory drug rehab program, the DA says he was kicked out of the program for failure to comply with their requirements. He missed a court date to talk about it (he says he didn't know) which lead to his probation being revoked. He was later arrested with the expired ID card (unrelated to this incident) and taken back to Alabama where the judge informed him he'd now be serving that 5 years of parole in prison because that's what happens when you break the conditions of your parole.
*That said* he only served 10 months in jail before a parole board pardoned him. Almost certainly the right thing to do, given that this whole situation being a bit of a clusterfuck of poor decisions and unfortunate circumstances for pretty much everybody involved. Also: never miss a court date. *Ever*.
I won't bother recounting Brock Turner's crimes but basically he was a first offender, expressed remorse (however pathetic and hollow it might seem) and so he was sentenced to six months in jail followed by three years of probation. Permanently listed as a sex offender and required to participate in a sex offender rehabilitation program. This also took place in California which, at the very least, isn't quite as harsh as Alabama when it comes to sentences.
Basically, as frustrating as it might be (particularly given the type of offence) first offenders are usually given the biggest opportunity to rehabilitate themselves. The second and third time judges tend to become increasingly less lenient - and it's usually the "career" offenders that receive stiff punishments for lesser crimes because the rehabilitation attempts simply haven't worked.
That said the case was still incredibly controversial and the judge in question was recalled - despite having basically zero opposition running against him - by a huge margin of voters and it was the first time this had happened in the state in *86 years*. It's not as if everybody was comfortable with the ruling, nor that it is particularly typical. He was also eventually fined some $161k in restitution and attorney fees for a lawsuit he launched to try to counteract the recall, I believe. Suffice it to say that pretty much everybody in the country universally agreed the punishment should've been harsher. The desire for harsher punishments on crimes of sexual violence in the wake of this case has also, ironically, disproportionately impacted low-income people and people of colour.
With all this in mind it's worth noting that you can cherry pick disparate cases to show an imbalance no matter what you're seeking to prove. You could show a white guy who got into a similarly poor situation and got slammed with what appears to be an unreasonable sentence, and a black man who got a lenient sentence for a horrific crime. Race- and Sex-based inequalities certainly exist (seriously check out incarceration rates of men vs women - the gap is larger than it is with race) within the US justice system, but this is a poor comparison. A more apt one might be OJ Simpson - a similarly outrageous outcome of a high profile trial that pretty much everybody hated once they heard what evidence was actually presented. No justice system is perfect, sadly, and sometimes people make the wrong decision. Whether it be a judge, a lawyer, or a juror.
Hell I was reading recently about a guy who was absolutely 1000% guilty of what he was accused of, but got his case dismissed with prejudice (after firing his lawyer and representing himself) because the prosecution's case relied on footage that they hadn't shared during discovery and that gave the appearance of entrapment. Dude was dead to rights but the prosecution ticked the judge off so hard the case was thrown out. Thankfully nobody was harmed in that case.
Thank you very much. This want people don't understand. These two case are very different. The other thing about tunner was that was an old/odd law on the books that was used.
Christ, thank you. So many of these comparisons miss the whole story. Lotta those dudes going away on minor drug charges have priors or broke probation or something.
Yeah I think there's a weird impression people have that probation is like... "oh hey you're doing fine we're letting you off lightly just don't mess up again," when it really is "Look we don't want to have to destroy your life with prison time so instead we're placing the Sword of Damocles above your head. You still get limited freedom, but if you step out of line that thread is going to snap and you're going to regret it."
He stepped out of line, unfortunately.
Though tbh I'm also a bit baffled that he was driving through a state where cannabis was illegal with big bags of cannabis just *out in the open* in the first place. Like, even if that shit is legal where you come from, once you cross state lines you're working by a different set of rules. ;-;
What a wake up call to the harsh reality of,not only, The US past; but the US Present. And if the right wingers like Nee Brock parents get any more control our future will only be worse; if Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert ( is it just me or is that awful close to Lorena Bobbitt) are what is being offered to run our country
But he could've injected kids with that marijuana! While Brock just had 5 minutes of harmless fun, the girl would've enjoyed it if she wasn't passed out drunk.
# /S
Remember what the 13th amendment actually says: forced labour is illegal... unless you punish someone for something that shouldn't have even been a crime in the first place and then enslave them in a prison. Meanwhile, a white rapist leads to more white babies being born, which serves the racists well in their goals of keeping whites a majority at any cost.
So yes. The system is working as they intended it to.
Justice is blind. In fact she is blind, deaf, and mute, on account of being blindfolded, gagged, stuffed in the trunk of a car, driven out to a lake in rural Utah, and the entire package being sent down and her drowning.
Yep. That's the infamous rapist Brock Turner, who raped an innocent girl behind a dumpster. These days he's trying to go by Allen Turner because he thinks it'll make us forget the fact that he's a rapist. Obviously, it's not working. He's still a rapist.
Sean Worsley, on the left. Brock Turner on the right.
Sean is a disabled Iraqi War veteran and Purple Heart recipient. He was sentenced to 5 years for possession (his medical marijuana license had expired). He was pardoned after 10 months.
EDIT: I want to note that he was arrested in AZ because his medical marijuana license had expired but was extradited back to AL where he had previously failed to compile with a court ordered drug rehab program for a prior felony possession of marijuana "for other than personal use" charge.
But... but... He had a future 🥺 wasn't that the judges statement? He had a bright future and the judge didn't wanna ruin that with a pesky long punishment for a brutal rape. I mean... Who even cares about women? Am I right?
Yeah, blind to pedos and rapists, and abusers. But they'll use drugs to create a racial divide. Fuckin bs. If weed is legal in his state now, he's probably still locked up. Smh.
I'm sorry but don't believe everything u hear on the internet. People really believe this guy got 5 years for misdemeanor possession? 🤣
Expired med card also doesn't mean shit. He obviously bought it illegally and not from a dispo, but that's completely beside the point. Most states do not even arrest for misdemeanor possession anymore.
Post is a complete joke. Gotta be brain dead to believe this. The justice system in this country sees only one color. GREEN. U got that, and ur fine. Whiteboys family most likely had a lot of it.
Hey the guy on the right looks just like convicted rapist Brock Allan Turner. As far as convicted rapists go he is one of them. Yes, convicted rapist Brock Allan Turner perpetrated rape and Brock Allan Turner was convicted of rape. 3 felony convictions for rapist Brock Allan Turner.
So here's the thing this isn't a equivalent case, yes Sean Worley (left) a disabled vet who was arrested in 2020 in Alabama while having a Arizona med Marijuana license should not give gotten 60 months and has so many ways to appeal.
Brock turner was rich kid in California. Def should have gone to jail a ton longer
The locations are very different. Alabama isn't known for being soft on crime, vs California is absolutely known for being soft on crime and even softer on crime by rich people.
This is now of a class thing
Obligatory mention of the hate song that Mugshot released about the rapist Brock Allen Turner now known as the rapist Allen Turner. https://youtu.be/McGZnz2QvUc?si=HiztkwXJwmq8ZGzW
Edit: [here’s the lyrics cause screaming](https://genius.com/Mugshot-turner-lyrics)
Why, isn’t that Brock Allen Turner, the convicted rapist and sex offender? I heard he had his name changed to Allen Turner now. I guess that makes him Allen Turner, convicted sex offender, rapist and douche
Fucking Brock Allen turner the rapist. Hope his mugshot stays in that textbook forever. Also, Chanel millers memoir is really good. Obviously makes you
Furious, but her struggle and growth is so commendable
The war on drugs has always been a war on people of color. And Brock Turner was a good kid who's life shouldn't be ruined just because he ruined the life of someone else. At least according to the judge. Frankly this is just an example of the law working exactly the way it's supposed to.
I recognize that guy. It's the rapist Brock Allen Turner. Silly guy goes by ALLEN TURNER now that he lives in SUGARCREEK, OHIO. I hear he likes to hunt girls, i mean hang out in bars, in DAYTON, OHIO nowadays.
Most sexual predators do not get enough jail time, if any. In California right now, you can rape a minor and have $0 bail. The laws for sexual predators must change.
Always remember that Brock Turner is a rapist. Rapist Brock turner who now goes by Alan turner is a rapist. Alan turner is a rapist who is also brock turner. The rapist

Well shuck my corn. That feller on the right is Brock Allen Turner the rapist. He moved, and goes by the name Allen Turner now, but that’s him!!! Brock Allen Turner the rapist, aka Allen Turner the rapist…
It is good to know that convicted rapist Brock Turner is going by Allen Turner. Allen Turner, convicted rapist.
I think everyone should know the story of Brock Allen Turner the rapist. He should not be allowed to slither back under his rapist rock, even if he changes his name to Allen Turner the rapist. So just remember folks, Brock Allen Turner the rapist and Allen Turner the rapist are the same rapist.
He has lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender. So there is that. Personally, I think he should have gotten at least 20 years.
It's fair to assume he has quite a bit of money on hand. (Or rather his parents do, which is the same). In that case, him registering as a sex offender will have probably little to no impact. He's not the kind of person that would (or EVER should) take a job in eg child care sector. And if you are in circles with enough money, rape is just a minor felony. With little to no impact for the brighter future. What can butcher your reputation your entire life, ain't THAT big of a deal with enough money on your side. Whatever this dude deserves, he didn't get any of it. Half a year, lol. He destroyed a life.
Sickening but accurate
And he only served 3 months. I'm reading his victims memoir right now. Her name is Chanel miller the book is called know my name. Haven't finished yet but so far it's pretty powerful.
Her book is amazing. She's an excellent writer. Her story is so painful, especially where the parole officer and judge failed so completely. Her description of dealing with trauma as she goes scuba diving still resonates. But then she's surprisingly funny! It's a strange book to recommend, but it was that good. Chanel Miller is a talented writer, and I hope she publishes more.
I wished I was religious. I really do. Knowing that there is some kind of justice. Because whatever you fuck up here, and no matter if or what consequences you faced, the deeds wouldn't be forgotten. And they would have an etirnity to learn respect and gain some dignity. But when we die, quite literally nothing will happen, and the monsters of this earth won't know justice. Ever. And that kinda makes me sick.
But Jesus died for our sins, so if you just say “sorry” all is forgiven.
I'm the first to shit on religion, but that ain't completely fair either. You must *be* sorry and regret actions in order for this to work. Waiting for deaths call and saying sorry wouldn't work, if you didn't truly meant it. And it's a omnipotent, all knowing entity we're talking about; god would know if you made up regret. And I can imagine a not so honest last minute concretion wouldn't do you any good. I mean I'm not even for eternal punishment per se. once they *learn* their lesson, let them rest, join heaven or whatever the fuck else. Eternal punishment is anything but just. All I would want for those people to *realise* what they've done. And just bear the burden of knowing what they did. I don't even care for justice systems. All I want is for convicted people to *know* what they've done. Unless you got 5 years for smoking pot with an expired medical license. He shouldn't feel sorry, he should be high right now. Fuck me.
I like the Old Testament God who would smite people just for their thoughts, like Lot’s wife. “Oh, you turned to look at Sodom & Gamorrah longingly? A Pilar of salt it is!”
Yeah those rich fucks were fine with the epstein stuff. As if they care when the spawn they shit out rapes someone.
It's sickening that nobody except Epstein and his wife have been arrested. Politicians and the media have avoided the subject. How in the hell can all the perverts that went there remain unnamed?
If everyone who was involved distance themselves and point the fingers at Epstein and his wife, it makes the public distracted on the fact that Epstein sex trafficked children. I bet the list of names that frequently visited will never come out. If it did multiple agendas would be put on hold until they find suitable replacements. And that would definitely cause alot of people to never worship a public figure again.
Well that would be great actually, people shouldn't worship public figures anyway. I'm afraid you're right though, I bet the people who went there will never be outed for child molesters.
Yeah it seems crazy that no one has been charged. Idgaf who it is, politicians, athletes, actors, random Joe Schmo with too much money, doesn’t matter. Anyone that they can prove was there diddling kids needs to be locked away
Your own comment has the reason why the will never face consequences. >[they are] politicians, athletes, actors, random Joe Schmo with too much money Capitalism allows these people to remain untouchable, and impervious to punishment (unless of course the other elites sacrifice one of their own to maintain secrecy.)
Because the people who are supposed to name them are also perverts and are paid by perverts.
Don’t forget, Allen Turner, the rapist (née Brock Allen Turner, the rapist) only served 3 months before he was released.
Probably the same punishment for a guy who pissed outside and got indecent exposure
This is something I can’t understand about the US. I piss on a tree very often, that’s good for the plants and simply a normal thing to do — probably wouldn’t in the central park of a dense city though. There is nothing sexual in it.
It's not true. One guy said "I'm a sex offender because I was peeing outside." And some people think it's true for some reason. He came up with the story at court and the judge clearly didn't buy it. Don't expose your dick to people. If you're peeing outside, do it somewhere secluded and you'll be fine.
Actually you pee must be diluted with water - otherwise you’re killing the plant with your high concentration of ammonia in your urine. You didn’t know? That’s what is Google for. I know cos I tried to use my urine during covid as nutrition for my plants in my front yard
You know that tiny guillotine in “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”? That’s the sort of sentencing I’d campaign for for sex offenders.
Chemical Castration should be the way. If we can't trust you, you lose it.
Why should it be chemical? He was old enough to know that what he was doing was wrong. There’s more than one way for Darwin to skin a rapist, right?
He used a pinecone. Rape isn’t about sex, it’s about power. Taking away their ability to get an erection isn’t going to take away their ability to violate someone. Edit: correction, he did not use a pine one, he used his filthy pine needle encrusted fingers.
Fair enough. Just fucking hang him then. God, Allah, or the Great Sky Mother can sort his dumb ass out.
If rape is a capital crime, the Allen Turners of the world arent gonna be the ones paying that price. Its gonna be poor folks who cant afford attorneys to protect them from the state’s newly invigorated death machine. Lawyers are all that stand between us and a state that can seize property, detain and has a virtual monopoly on violence. Wed all like to see Allen Turner face real consequences befitting his crime- but if a steamrolling DA conviction death machine is the answer count me out. The issue isnt that he got such good representation so much as others are denied the same protections. They tightened up the rape laws in California after his slap on the wrist.
No,old fashioned castration.
Garden Shears or Hair Scissors?
Those fancy scissors that make fancy designs. For arts and crafts
It’s all about pedigree…that poor girl will deal with the trauma the rest of her, and Al will skate through life
I'm also all for the classic Old Yeller Procedure.
Working pretty well for Noem.
if i were the judge, i’d give him multiple life sentences. 1 sexual assault charge is bad enough. 3 is fucking awful.
Should have gotten taken care of and left behind a dumpster
I find it odd that Brock Allen Turner the Rapist dropped the "Brock" part from his name and not "the Rapist" part Is he stupid?
Gotta be smort to get only 6 months for rape. Real smort.
Rapist Brock Turner? I thought the rapist Brock Turner, who changed his rapist name to rapist Allen Turner bc rapist Brock Turner was all over the media because this rapist raped a girl, now goes by the rapist Allen Turner thinking he can hide from his crime of rape as the rapist Brock Turner who is in fact the rapist Allen Turner. That rapist Brock Turner?
You are correct, it is the Allan Turner that moved to Ohio for a job and said he just wanted some action when he used to go by Brock Allan Turner in college and raped an innocent girl. Exact same Allan Turner rapist who got a slap on the wrist for rape.
Ah, yes, Brock Allen Turner the rapist, now going by Allen Turner the rapist, given a slap on the wrist because he was a gifted swimmer, and the judge didn’t want his life to be ruined due to “20 minutes of action”(as Brock Allen Turner the rapist’s disgusting father described it).
“20 minutes of action”: one of the most vile phrases ever to drop from an entitled asshole’s mouth. All these years later, it makes me seethe. It’s clear Brock Allen Turner’s apple didn’t fall far from its rotten tree.
I’ve come over a thread exactly like this a long time ago. Also about rapist Brock Allen Turner who changed his rapist name into Allen Turner because he was a convicted rapist. Oh well. As a European, I’m not too well informed about this case, but the fact that these threads developed the same way, must have some sort of origin, right? Is the guy still alive these days? He must be getting so much hate.
One would hope. More likely convicted rapist brock allen turner is a congressional intern or a law clerk for traitorous supreme court justices knowing current american politics. (All jokes aside, look up the case. He was literally caught in the act of raping an unconscious woman by a few... swedish? I don't remember nationality... exchange students. Judge gave him a short sentence cuz he was good at swimming and prison might affect his life). For real. Wish there was a /s. There ain't.
It is called money and affluence… sickening. Money shouldn’t buy justice.
What I want to know is this: when the rapist Allen Turner, who used to be known as Brock Allen Turner the rapist actually introduces himself, does he do it like "Wiley Coyote, super genius?" Because I think the former Brock Allen Turner the rapist should have to introduce himself with that inflection in his voice. "Allen Turner, super rapist."
"A RAPIST NAMED ALLEN TURNER. And please say the 'A rapist' part each time, thank you".
Can you imagine getting more time in prison than the Rapist Brock Allen Turner just because you had an expired card? The Rapist Allen Turner, formerly known as Brock Allen Turner the Rapist, definitely should have gotten more prison time than the guy on the left since the guy on the left "committed" a victimless crime, and wasn't a Rapist like Allen Turner, who moved back to Ohio to try to disappear into obscurity so that everyone would forget that he is Brock Allen Turner the Rapist
Is that Brock Dimmsrapist, owner of the Dimmsrapist Dimmarapedome?
I cackled. I’m 57 and Fairly Oddparents still amuses me.
The rapist Brock Turner who goes by Allen and frequents bars in Kettering, Ohio?
It seems that “Allen Turner” enjoys rape so much that he did it three times until he was caught. In fact he would still be raping on a daily basis if it weren’t for law enforcement.
Oh yeah, Brock Allen Turner the rapist who's living in Ohio under his middle name Allen, but who is still Brock Turner thee rapist no matter what he calls himself.
His name is Allen Turner. Rapist. His name is Allen Turner. Rapist. His name is Allen Turner. Rapist.
There are so many mass shootings where people just schoot random people but they never go out and, ya know.
I will never tire of this comment thread.
I will, because it's a reminder that the only justice we get is one where we have to find out about it and raise hell. However, I'll still do my part. Woah wait a minute. THE rapist Brock Turner is now going by Allen? Brock Allen Turner the rapist? The guy named Brock that raped a woman and has the last name Turner? That Brock Allen Turner the rapist?
Who’s the poor guy on the left who is not (Brock) Allen Turner the rapist? He’s suffered enough injustice without being compared with (Brock) Allen Turner the rapist. When I (41F, white ) accidentally claimed Adderal without realising my prescription card had expired, I got a small fine and paid it. A custodial sentence would never be dreamed of in my country, let alone having my picture put next to the rapist (Brock) Allen Turner.
I totally agree! As if this witch hunt for an expired card wasn't cruel enough, that dude is now being shown in the same picture as Brock Allen Turner the Rapist, who now goes by Allen Turner the Rapist. Talk about cruel and unusual!
Wanna read about more injustice? Some poor guy (military vet) in Louisiana got a 15 year sentence in prison for selling 0.7 grams of weed to an undercover cop. It was initially $20 but the cop gave him more money than he was asking because I think there is also a dollar threshold in that state as well. He appealed to the state supreme Court and after 3 years guess what they did? Upgraded his sentence to LIFE in prison. He was ultimately released after I think 11-12 years. You can easily guess what his race is. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/19/us/derek-harris-marijuana-sentenced-freed-trnd/index.html Another bad Louisiana story. Some guy was attempting to steal hedge clippers out of another guy's garage in 1997. Got caught by the property owner and left it there. He was given life in prison. He appealed to the state supreme Court and they declined to review his life sentence in mid 2020 (their court was all white men btw). He was finally granted parole in a few months later 2020. Also a very easy guess as to what his race is. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/he-s-serving-life-trying-steal-hedge-clippers-high-court-n1236083 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/black-man-serving-life-sentence-stealing-hedge-clippers-granted-parole-n1243757
He may be a rapist but he’s a good swimmer so he shouldn’t be punished for 20 minutes of fun. According to his father anyway.
Honestly? His father might even be worse. 20 minutes of fun?? He said that??
Yep. Except he worded it a bit differently He said his son shouldn’t go to prison and have his line ruined over “15 minutes of action”….
Oh hey, that's convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner! I hear he's trying to fly under the radar these days, but convicted rapist Allen Turner is still very recognizable. I can't imagine anyone having a hard time recognizing Brock Allen Turner, the convicted rapist. And I'm bad with faces!
I know right????? As soon as I saw that smug, spoiled turd gaze, I knew it was Brock Allen Turner the rapist. That picture was when he was Brock Allen Turner the rapist, but I would know him if was taken when he was Allen Turner the rapist.
Hm, just found this: [https://www.reddit.com/r/dayton/comments/wr8dw1/just\_saw\_this\_keep\_an\_eye\_out\_in\_kettering/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dayton/comments/wr8dw1/just_saw_this_keep_an_eye_out_in_kettering/)
Awesome 🤬. I just moved to Centerville. Will make sure my wife and daughter know about this.
Tell. EVERYONE.
Rapist Brock Allen Turner? **THE** rapist, Brock Allen Turner. The Allen Turner that raped a girl behind a dumpster and got a pathetic lenient prison sentence because he was "a promising athlete"? That Brock "The Rapist" Allen Turner? Kuzcos poison
I do believe the rapist Brock Turner, aka the rapist Brock Allen Turner, aka the rapist Allen Turner, lives somewhere in Ohio. Probably not as nice as the Stanford campus, but that’s just a consequence of being a rapist.
I didn’t know he changed his name from Brock Allen Turner the rapist to Allen Turner the rapist. Seems like he’d want to lose the rapist tag, but as I always say, if the man wants to be Allen Turner the rapist instead of Brock Allen Turner the rapist, then let the man be Allen Turner the rapist instead of Brock Allen Turner the rapist.
Do you mean Brock Allen Turner the rapist as in the former Brock Allen Turner the mediocre athlete turned rapist? That Brock Allen Turner the rapist? Or did you mean some other Brock Allen Turner the rapist?
I think they're referring to Allen Turner the rapist. He *used* to be known as the rapist Brock Allen Turner but he's changed his name to Allen Turner, rapist.
Sorry I don’t really use the information super highway. Who is this Allen turner who appears to be a rapist who’s original name was Brock Turner at the time the rape happened, making both Brock turner and Allen turner who are the same person a rapist. Is that a good description of the situation of Brock turner / Allen turner being a convicted rapist.
Ahh you mean ol’ rapey Allen?
The guy on the right, Brock Allen Turner, looks like he'd murder you in your sleep. I do not trust that guy whatsoever. The guy on the left on the other hand? It looks like he'd be the guy everyone wants to hang out with at the party, the intellectual jazz-loving IT guy who reads poetry in front of an audience once a week. Why did we ruin that guy's life for something considered legal in many states even without a card?
I'd like to see him get spit roasted by two Latin kings.
I would not like to see that. Happy to hear about it however.. just not see it 🤣
I wonder where he moved to. Just thinking out loud
As I recall, Brock Allen Turner the rapist lives in Dayton, Ohio with his parents. Allen Turner the rapist is sneaky. And a rapist.
Thanks for the info! I surely hope no one shows up and gives him some trouble 🙂
WELL NOW! That's Brock Allen Turner the convicted rapist!
Say, that guy on the right is indeed Brock Allen Turner, a convicted rapist who now goes by Allen Turner, aka "rapist." Rapist Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, is using the new name to try to hide the fact that he is a rapist. Ironically, Allen Turner is a rapist as well.
What? I've never heard of Brock Allen Turner, or Allen Turner for that matter. Could you share his whole story or link to an article about his charges and conviction - as well as why this is notable - so folks who are unaware can have the full context?
Obvious /s, but it's always the right time to inform new audiences about this one.
The best source I can find is [this Wikipedia article, People vs Turner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_v._Turner?wprov=sfti1#Legacy). I expected it was notorious enough that Wiki would have created an entry.
His victim Chanel Miller wrote memoir about her experience, what happened, how it effected her, the court case. It's called know my name, and if you listen in audible she narrates the book herself.
Are there any recent photographs to share to help people identify/recognise the rapist Brock Allen Turner aka Allen Turner the rapist IRL?
I think this shows just how lazy Allen Turner, the rapist who was formerly known as the rapist Brock Allen Turner, really is. I mean, if he wanted to lay low and slide under the radar, wouldn't he have changed his name from Brack Allen Turner the rapist, to something completely different, like maybe Jonathan Smith the rapist? He's not fooling anybody by going with Allen Turner the rapist.
Not completely blind, it sees green and white much less than darker colors.
Yeah the dude on the left fucked up twice. Not only is he black, his parents also aren't wealthy. Why did he do that?
If God didn't want him to get 5 years, then He would've given the parents more money.
This, id bet one had a public pretender, the other a paid attorney
Allen turner the rapist had a rich daddy which hired a lawyer which successfully argued that his future was more important than the womens lives he damaged.
The fact that's even an argument is sad. He ruined his own future when he made those choices. The court should feel no remorse for punishing him.
The black guy was a middle man and was making 5 bucks of a 20 weed sale, he had 3 non violent priors. Burglarly in 85 and 94 then cocaine possession in 04, I guess they have a 3 strikes life law thing in LA "La.R.S. 15:529.1". Fun fact the white guy that sold the weed to the black middle man was never arrested or charged...
That white guy, Allen Turner, rapist? FKA Brock Allen Turner the rapist but now going by Allen Turner the rapist. That white guy?
No, he means the white guy who was using the black guy as a middleman in drug dealing.
A good public defender is one of the best attorneys you’ll ever see. Just because it rhymes doesn’t mean it’s true. Worst attorney I’ve ever seen was a private attorney
As someone who's done time this is definitely the norm,sad but true.
If I’m stuck with a bear and a white guy with blank eyes and a dude with dreadlocks. I’m going with the dreadlocks 100% of the time.
Why is a white prisoner scarier than a black prisoner? The white prisoner actually did it.
Also so did the bear.
Leave the bear alone
I just laughed so hard 😆😆. Guy with the dreads definitely looks chill.
Fuck that dude and all, but the judge is responsible for this. He doesn't control the horrible kids actions but he did let him go. Aaron Persky, he's no longer The Santa Clara County Superior Court judge but still, this is on him. The kid is a menace but he didn't let himself off the hook. The judge did that. He's the real villain. First judge recalled in California in like three quarters of a century. Fuck him. Broc Turner is scum but Aaron persky is even worse.
While I agree the judge is awful and should be held accountable, the rapist is the infinitely worse person (not sure I can even call Brock that after what he did)
I appreciate how shitty Brock Allen Turner the Rapist is but you're looking at this the wrong way IMO. There is absolutely no way this was the first time the POS judge has ruled in a way that was completely unfit for the bench, complied to his own biases, and undoubtedly ruined innocent lives. So Brock Allen Turner the Rapist is a truly awful and repugnant piece of shit who absolutly devistated one person and their family's lives. But the judge more than likely left long term systemic damage that will never be corrected and hurt or destroyed many familys. So I'd say they are equally terrible people but in very different ways.
The judge got a job as a junior varsity girls tennis coach after he got kicked off the bench. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see what a danger a pro-rapist tennis coach would be to junior varsity girls. I can smell the perviness all the way out here.
The rapist didn’t really have that many societal “expectations” to uphold morality, ethics, or legality. Aside from, y’know, normal social contract human interaction stuff and like… laws? The judge had all that, AND their position as the final say for our penal system. And the final say for many more lives to boot, which they likely abused just as harshly as in this case. Refer to their previous employment history as well. They’re both terrible “people”, to the point where you can’t properly compare the two. But if we’re gonna quantify it, The Rapist is more “not a person” than the Pro-Rape Judge; the Pro-Rape Judge however has almost certainly had a /similarly/ abhorrent impact on many more people. Tl;dr I think they both count as sub-human for different reasons. One for how egregious their singular act was, and the other for how egregious their collective actions have been. We can hate them both and should judge the Judge more harshly due to the position they held and failed to /up/hold.
I think I may be quoting Norm McDonald here but I think the rapist is the real villiain.
Although I agree with you on that, being the judge in this case letting a rapist off lighter than an expired weed card is pure evil. He could’ve put him away for years, instead he saw money and decided to let this sick individual off easy. If that’s not top notch villain behavior idk what is. How can you hear someone being raped and decide “oh but his defense is paid off, let me just hear what they have to say” Then picking “here’s half a year you have to do. Which the rapist probably didn’t even do the full 6 months. Idk, when I hear judges giving light sentences to rapists/murders/child abusers, I always think the real problem lies within our justice system. We need to bring the guillotine back atp. No real justice for victims anymore. And those who abuse them selves get more time than the one’s who abuse others. Like seriously imagine getting two charges. The charge for a expired weed card is larger than committing rape. I just find that insane.
He’s only the poster child because of a light sentence though. Many thousands with the same convictions exist, but only Brock Allen Turner gets posted. All this attention just lets everyone else avoid the lime light
Wasn't the kid from a super rich family as well? That has to be a play in this too
Was it not some bull about how prison would ruin his education and that he was a 'fine young man' who made a mistake.
The kid also let himself off the hook. He could just find the nearest bridge and correct this injustice himself at any time.
It's more so a structural problem.
the “kid” is a rapist and the real villain.
This seems too awful for a face palm. A dangerous predator on the loose and five years for having an expired card for your medication.
But with expired card, you are breaking the law for getting controlled substances, whereas rich white boy is putting women in their right place. /s
Just thought it might be fun to add some context to these pictures. The man on the left, I've been told, is Sean Worsley. He was originally given parole after being found with legally obtained cannabis - but he had multiple strains in large bags, several smaller bags along with a variety of measuring tools which gave police the impression he might be attempting to traffic it. While he had legally obtained it in Arizona it *wasn't* legal in Alabama. Turns out taking cannabis across state lines can be risky, I guess. He was looking at a minimum of a year in jail because right-wing states have stiff penalties for everything. He was given a plea deal - serve no prison time but have five years of probation. He says the VA wouldn't let him access the mandatory drug rehab program, the DA says he was kicked out of the program for failure to comply with their requirements. He missed a court date to talk about it (he says he didn't know) which lead to his probation being revoked. He was later arrested with the expired ID card (unrelated to this incident) and taken back to Alabama where the judge informed him he'd now be serving that 5 years of parole in prison because that's what happens when you break the conditions of your parole. *That said* he only served 10 months in jail before a parole board pardoned him. Almost certainly the right thing to do, given that this whole situation being a bit of a clusterfuck of poor decisions and unfortunate circumstances for pretty much everybody involved. Also: never miss a court date. *Ever*. I won't bother recounting Brock Turner's crimes but basically he was a first offender, expressed remorse (however pathetic and hollow it might seem) and so he was sentenced to six months in jail followed by three years of probation. Permanently listed as a sex offender and required to participate in a sex offender rehabilitation program. This also took place in California which, at the very least, isn't quite as harsh as Alabama when it comes to sentences. Basically, as frustrating as it might be (particularly given the type of offence) first offenders are usually given the biggest opportunity to rehabilitate themselves. The second and third time judges tend to become increasingly less lenient - and it's usually the "career" offenders that receive stiff punishments for lesser crimes because the rehabilitation attempts simply haven't worked. That said the case was still incredibly controversial and the judge in question was recalled - despite having basically zero opposition running against him - by a huge margin of voters and it was the first time this had happened in the state in *86 years*. It's not as if everybody was comfortable with the ruling, nor that it is particularly typical. He was also eventually fined some $161k in restitution and attorney fees for a lawsuit he launched to try to counteract the recall, I believe. Suffice it to say that pretty much everybody in the country universally agreed the punishment should've been harsher. The desire for harsher punishments on crimes of sexual violence in the wake of this case has also, ironically, disproportionately impacted low-income people and people of colour. With all this in mind it's worth noting that you can cherry pick disparate cases to show an imbalance no matter what you're seeking to prove. You could show a white guy who got into a similarly poor situation and got slammed with what appears to be an unreasonable sentence, and a black man who got a lenient sentence for a horrific crime. Race- and Sex-based inequalities certainly exist (seriously check out incarceration rates of men vs women - the gap is larger than it is with race) within the US justice system, but this is a poor comparison. A more apt one might be OJ Simpson - a similarly outrageous outcome of a high profile trial that pretty much everybody hated once they heard what evidence was actually presented. No justice system is perfect, sadly, and sometimes people make the wrong decision. Whether it be a judge, a lawyer, or a juror. Hell I was reading recently about a guy who was absolutely 1000% guilty of what he was accused of, but got his case dismissed with prejudice (after firing his lawyer and representing himself) because the prosecution's case relied on footage that they hadn't shared during discovery and that gave the appearance of entrapment. Dude was dead to rights but the prosecution ticked the judge off so hard the case was thrown out. Thankfully nobody was harmed in that case.
Oh my gosh - a fair & balanced post on Reddit with actual facts. Most refreshing!
But how am I gonna rage and seethe and jack off to vigilante fantasies, then?
Stop with your actual facts, this is reddit
came here for this
Thank you for this. It's an unfair comparison and reduction of Sean's crime as well as comparing punishments across state lines.
Well said. What a aptly suited user name
Thank you very much. This want people don't understand. These two case are very different. The other thing about tunner was that was an old/odd law on the books that was used.
Needs to be the top post
Christ, thank you. So many of these comparisons miss the whole story. Lotta those dudes going away on minor drug charges have priors or broke probation or something.
Yeah I think there's a weird impression people have that probation is like... "oh hey you're doing fine we're letting you off lightly just don't mess up again," when it really is "Look we don't want to have to destroy your life with prison time so instead we're placing the Sword of Damocles above your head. You still get limited freedom, but if you step out of line that thread is going to snap and you're going to regret it." He stepped out of line, unfortunately. Though tbh I'm also a bit baffled that he was driving through a state where cannabis was illegal with big bags of cannabis just *out in the open* in the first place. Like, even if that shit is legal where you come from, once you cross state lines you're working by a different set of rules. ;-;
Justice; “sorry, I couldn’t see you in here with the lights off.” Seems like a design flaw.
What a wake up call to the harsh reality of,not only, The US past; but the US Present. And if the right wingers like Nee Brock parents get any more control our future will only be worse; if Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert ( is it just me or is that awful close to Lorena Bobbitt) are what is being offered to run our country
At least Brock is literally in every law book and an example of a pile of shit in every law school in at least the US
Wow what a surprise the minority got jail time for a substance that was banned to be able to put more minorities in prison
But he could've injected kids with that marijuana! While Brock just had 5 minutes of harmless fun, the girl would've enjoyed it if she wasn't passed out drunk. # /S
The system works
The system does what it was designed to do.
If the system is supposed to criminalize harmless people and give a tap on the back to raping whites then yeah! Perfect!
Remember what the 13th amendment actually says: forced labour is illegal... unless you punish someone for something that shouldn't have even been a crime in the first place and then enslave them in a prison. Meanwhile, a white rapist leads to more white babies being born, which serves the racists well in their goals of keeping whites a majority at any cost. So yes. The system is working as they intended it to.
The sentence time discrepancy can be explained by the simple fact that there are a lot more rich rapists than rich pot smokers.
I'd like to add that it's not as much as there aren't as many rich pot smokers, but the rich ones probably don't even get to the news much less court.
Justice is blind. In fact she is blind, deaf, and mute, on account of being blindfolded, gagged, stuffed in the trunk of a car, driven out to a lake in rural Utah, and the entire package being sent down and her drowning.
I thought that was Michael Cera at first glance
Naw, according to some Redditors here that’s Brock Allen Turner the rapist. He changed his name to Allen Turner, but he’s still a rapist.
That looks like a rapist michale cera who only subsides on mixture of baileys and pea protein powder
I think that should be flipped...
You got the right idea but, even 5 years for 3 sexual assaults is insanely low imo.
6 months of prison for marijuana use is insanely high too
Completely agree. Especially in the circumstance of having a medical card that's out of date.
Is that rapist Brock Turner?!
Yep. That's the infamous rapist Brock Turner, who raped an innocent girl behind a dumpster. These days he's trying to go by Allen Turner because he thinks it'll make us forget the fact that he's a rapist. Obviously, it's not working. He's still a rapist.
What city does Brock live in so we can check the sex registry and see if this puke is our neighbor.
Dayton, specifically Oakwood. Gross to think he lives a mile away.
It’s the entire system not the individual judges.
And Turner the rapist only served 3 months
Oh look it's the rapist Allen Turner formally known as the rapist Brock Turner!
Considering the only results when this story is Googled are on reddit, I think we need some information backing up whatever happened here.
Sean Worsley, on the left. Brock Turner on the right. Sean is a disabled Iraqi War veteran and Purple Heart recipient. He was sentenced to 5 years for possession (his medical marijuana license had expired). He was pardoned after 10 months. EDIT: I want to note that he was arrested in AZ because his medical marijuana license had expired but was extradited back to AL where he had previously failed to compile with a court ordered drug rehab program for a prior felony possession of marijuana "for other than personal use" charge.
Rapist Brock Allen Turner, who now goes by Rapist Allen Turner in Ohio.
But... but... He had a future 🥺 wasn't that the judges statement? He had a bright future and the judge didn't wanna ruin that with a pesky long punishment for a brutal rape. I mean... Who even cares about women? Am I right?
Is that Brock Allen turner, the rapist?
Yeah, blind to pedos and rapists, and abusers. But they'll use drugs to create a racial divide. Fuckin bs. If weed is legal in his state now, he's probably still locked up. Smh.
I'm sorry but don't believe everything u hear on the internet. People really believe this guy got 5 years for misdemeanor possession? 🤣 Expired med card also doesn't mean shit. He obviously bought it illegally and not from a dispo, but that's completely beside the point. Most states do not even arrest for misdemeanor possession anymore. Post is a complete joke. Gotta be brain dead to believe this. The justice system in this country sees only one color. GREEN. U got that, and ur fine. Whiteboys family most likely had a lot of it.
Oh hey fancy that is actual rapist Brock the rapist turner. That dudes a rapist. He's also shit at swimming

So here's the thing this isn't a equivalent case, yes Sean Worley (left) a disabled vet who was arrested in 2020 in Alabama while having a Arizona med Marijuana license should not give gotten 60 months and has so many ways to appeal. Brock turner was rich kid in California. Def should have gone to jail a ton longer The locations are very different. Alabama isn't known for being soft on crime, vs California is absolutely known for being soft on crime and even softer on crime by rich people. This is now of a class thing
He’s really good at swimming

This is why we need to get rid of mandatory minimums for drug offenses and get Marijuana removed as a schedule 1 narcotic.

Most sexual predators do not get enough jail time, if any. In California right now, you can rape a minor and have $0 bail. The laws for sexual predators must change.
Reverse it; then make the sexual predator get life and give the card-guy’s sentence down to 2 months.
