    I mean, that logic got Brock Allen Turner, the rapist who now goes by Allen Turner, off the hook. I guess it’s worth a shot.

      You mean Brock Turner the rapist who now goes by Allen Turner the rapist? That Brock Turner the rapist?

        Well HE doesn’t go by Brock Turner the rapist. He certainly wishes we’d stop calling him Brock Turner the rapist. But we’ll never stop calling him Brock Turner the rapist, because Brock Turner the rapist is a rapist.

        If we had to stop calling him something, we’d stop calling him Brock Turner before we stopped calling him the rapist.

        Because Brock Turner the rapist deserves to be remembered as a rapist, and nothing more

      I wouldn’t go on a 30-minute crime spree yet, there might be a better deal soon.

      Trump says he’s going to be a one-day dictator if elected. If he gets his way and does not get punished afterwards, we have a strong legal precedent that everyone gets their personal Purge once in their lifetime.

    Can you imagine that defence for other crimes

    You’re honour my client should be released because he was only a bank robber for 2 minutes while in the bank. And as for being a conspirator he didn’t do much talking.

    Your honour my client was only a “rapist” while attacking Miss Sonso and that only lasted 5 minutes. Prior to that he was merely a pedestrian as he followed her. An innocent citizen

      Unfortunately that defense did seem to work out fine for rapist Brock Allen Turner.

    “Your honor, my client only raped her for 3 minutes.”

    “Your honor, my client was only murdering him for 4 minutes.”

    “Your honor, my client was only driving under the influence for 10 minutes.”
