was grinding on the dude for a while in front of dozens
This morning, the two Democratic state reps from the area, Anna Eshoo and Joe Simitian, both opposed the recall.
It was a headline in the local paper in the cafe this morning, but I can't find it online.
Anyhow, they are correct to oppose it. We want to have an actual judicial system, and not a lynch mob.
Letter: Persky recall effort is a misguided farce
We will be enthusiastically voting against his recall, and we encourage all level-headed, fair minded citizens to do likewise.
While much criticism is made of Judge Persky’s allegedly lenient sentence in the Brock Turner case of 6 months in jail instead of 2-4 years in prison, little mention is made of another aspect of the sentence, which is that Turner must register as a sex offender for life. That means he is on lifetime parole, with restrictions on where he may live and work, with a major impact on his private life. This is not a lenient sentence, but is following the law, which Judge Persky is sworn to do.
From what we see, Judge Persky is a fair-minded public servant doing his job the way he should. We will be enthusiastically voting against his recall, and we encourage all level-headed, fair minded citizens to do likewise. In addition, we will not vote for either of the candidates running to replace him, as it would imply legitimacy of this misguided farce.
The recall was led by an exceptionally ugly woman (?) law professor.
She should be recalled from her job for ruining the life of a good judge who followed the law.
Her motive was apparently that good looking men like Brock Turner have always rejected women who look like her. This is her attempt at revenge on innate human biology.
exceptionally ugly woman (?)
* The woman came from off campus and drank heavily of her own accord at a Stanford frat party.
* She voluntarily kissed Brock repeatedly and went off with him voluntarily to the location of the incident. At no point did he chase her or use force.
* Brock did not ever expose his penis, much less insert it into the woman at any point.
* Brock is accused of fingering her vagina while she was passed out or during a time she simply cannot remember. This may be sexual assault, but it is most definitely not rape.
* Judge Persky follow the sentencing guidelines set down by law, and sentenced Brock to six months for the fingering of a passed out drunk woman who was enthusiastically being sexual with him beforehand.
Instead of merely crumpling and resigning like so many others lately, he has shown some real backbone and refused to abandon our justice system for mob rule.
The case of Brock Turner illustrates illustrates the strong tendency to absolve women of all responsibility for their own behavior, and instead blame the man and jump to conclusions regardless of the facts of the case. Here are some important facts not generally reported:
* The woman came from off campus and drank heavily of her own accord at a Stanford frat party.
* She voluntarily kissed Brock repeatedly and went off with him voluntarily to the location of the incident. At no point did he chase her or use force.
* Brock did not ever expose his penis, much less insert it into the woman at any point.

Brock himself was drunk, so if the woman is absolved from responsibility for her own behavior because of impaired judgement, why is Brock not absolved from his behavior for the same reason? Six months in jail and lifetime registration as a sex offender seems unduly harsh given the facts, not too lenient. In any case, Persky followed the law and there is no reason to recall him.
We should all stand up and affirm the right of judges to fairly enforce our laws even when the mob is calling for blood and everyone else is too intimidated by the terrorists of political correctness to take a more considered view. Reject the recall.
