Brock Turner might be a free man, but that doesn’t mean the general public believes he’s served his time. Not one bit.
A day after the convicted rapist completed his three-month stint in jail for the 2015 sexual assault of a woman at Stanford University, protests awaiting Turner’s return continued outside his family home in Ohio.
Bearing placards with quotes like “castrate rapists” and “the rapist who lives here got 3 months. Justice?”, demonstrators brandished some serious firepower in a display of utmost disgust.

Turner’s case has drawn international attention and condemnation due to his lenient sentence – Turner originally faced up to 14 years behind bars – and for the presiding judge’s apparent bias towards white, affluent offenders.
