The unavoidable conclusion is that these people voted for a more punitive carceral state. Who do they think that will disproportionately punish? This is basic stuff.https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2018/02/10/should-judge-in-brock-turner-assault-case-be-recalled.cnn …

Thank you. This is a disaster. It doesn’t change Truner’s sentence but will impact everyone else in the system, the vast majority of whom are poor minorities. One less check on our powerful police state.

That's the key point. Who do the people who voted to recall think a more punitive carceral state is going to disproportionately punish

Turner deserved a harsher sentence had no remorse. The white rich boy was let off due to judges bias in favor of Stanford athletes and his color. Judge gave harsher sentences to blacks. Still inequality so yes it’s a win.

The defense attorneys who were in his court disagree with you but who has time for facts?

1. Judges should be free for nuanced sentencing 2. Judges should be judged for sentencing decisions 3. Judges should never be elected

And sentences for sex offences are a lot lighter than people think. The government only really nails you if you drive drugs against state lines.

He was recalled for enforcing the white privilege of lesser consequences. If anything, it sends the message to curtail the disproportionate punishments if people of color. Everyone should be equal under the law. That's progressive.

Judge worship is an odd impulse for anyone interested in emancipating society from state control. Rather than revere solomonic technocrats, I'd think faith in citizenry might be the way to go. If one were interested in that, of course.

So to be a progressive now is to want "leniency" for rapists? Out of the people currently in prison that ought to be set free, rapists are damn near the bottom of the list.

Yeah that whole incident was weird with all these liberals calling for harsher sentences and mandatory minimums. I’m like, now you want more Americans incarcerated?
