How long does it take to pull the
trigger on a gun? Like two seconds? What about stab someone in the throat?
Possibly ten seconds? The people on the receiving end of the actions that took
a second or ten seconds might die. How long did it take for Stanford rapist’s
dad to knock up the mom? Probably about 10 minutes on the occasion that it
happened? And the dad thinks his kid is beyond punishment for 20 minutes of
action. It's this kind of attitude that is ruining people. Seriously. We put
them on a pedestal as though their action isn’t as bad as it would be had
someone else done it. It’s not ok!
Do you ever take a second and ask yourself what in the world
is wrong with people today? Why do we accept the things that we do from people?
We truly live in a world where apathy has become acceptable and it’s awful.
You can’t get on the Internet right now without seeing
something about the Stanford sexual assault kid. He got six months in jail
along with two years probation. The judge said that anything more would have
too big of an impact on him and that he’s not a danger to others.
This guy assaulted another person. She was unconscious and
he took advantage of her in the most intrusive way possible. The victim now has
to live knowing that this happened and that people get in more trouble for stealing
a TV (in some states). Can you imagine how dehumanizing and devaluing this is
to her? How this impacts her life? She was being raped behind a dumpster for
God’s sake.
For anyone to say that their child should catch a break from
the law because they can tell that they’re being punished enough because there
are still snacks in the house should be on a watch list themselves. Something
isn’t OK there. I’ve got VERY strong opinions about enabling people and it’s at
the point that I’m probably about to say something I’m going to regret.
When you sit back and defend a bad person or allow them to
do what they do, you’re just as bad as they are. They have no motivation to
become a better person when they’ve always got someone there to hold them up.
Think about potty training a puppy. Why do they learn to poop outside? Positive
and negative reinforcement. You don’t give a puppy a treat when it poops in the
house. Just like you shouldn’t stand by a horrible person when they do a
horrible thing. You should have the back of the people who need you.
What’s this girl going to do if she ends up being pregnant
after this guys 20 minutes of action? She has to deal with the consequences of
her decision at that point. And the baby. Meanwhile, swimmer boy can dye his hair
and go on about his business because he’s really good at a sport. Funny how
that works, isn’t it?
I kind of laugh it off when people say that they would move
to Canada if Trump or Clinton gets elected President, but after reading the
comments from the public officials of the county this all happened in, I would
probably feel inclined to move if I lived there. It’s crazy to me. Rape is
rape. No question! Assault is assault! No question! Who cares about the effects
it would have on the guy who did it! What about the victim? Let’s sympathize
with a rapist and spread a message that absolutely should never be formed in
the first place. What a complete disgrace.
What’s even worse is that given this ridiculously light
sentence for a crime he’s been convicted of and was caught doing, this kid is
appealing the sentence. I pray to God that Layla and Peyton learn to spot a bad
man when they see him. I pray that Jacob follows his heart in life and chooses
to follow the example of those who want the best for him. I’m curious where the
victim’s father is? I’ve not even seen anything written anonymously from him.
Or her mother. You better believe that my kid would have my support as loud as
I could possibly give it.
I have so many things I would love to say about parenting
and about things I don’t understand. Turning a blind eye just seems to be ok
and blaming everyone else for your flaws seems to be the way to go. How is this
even acceptable?
There are people in this world that are simply disgusting. I
was watching Teen Mom last night and Janelle was on. My heart breaks for her
kids because they are just screwed. There’s Janelle who says she wants to see
Jace, but she does nothing to make it happen. It’s just a show that she puts on
and it’s nauseating. I’m going to say that I want him and argue about drop off
and pick up, but then I’m going to spend all my time with David and say that
maybe he’s better with Barb because school has already started. I’m gonna use
him as a tool to get revenge when mommy makes me mad. That’s all her son is to
her. A tool.
Then there’s Adam who has every opportunity to see Aubrey,
but he won’t do it. She has someone who wants her in his life and she wants to
call daddy, but when that reality hits him, he rears his ugly head. Otherwise, he’s
absent.
Disgusting.
What’s even more interesting to me is how these people find
other people who want to be with them. Disgusting times two.
Why is it ever ok to allow someone feel like they hold
little value? Especially when they’re supposed to be one of the most important
people in your life? Who are you to take that feeling of value away from them
due to your own selfishness? In the end, there’s no one to blame but yourself.
I can’t change the way that the world works. It’s my hope
that when I die, someone feels like there’s a loss because I made this a better
place while I was here. It’s so dumb, but I get angry when I’m flipping through
the stations and I hear that Luke Bryan song “Huntin, Lovin, and Fishin.” All I
can think about is, “That’s ALL you’re going to contribute to the world?”
Seriously? Then I come up with this dialogue in my head about who would want
someone who comes home sweaty, smelling like dead animal and fish everyday,
broke as a joke, and probably drunk because they drink beer in the heat all day
long. I get SO MAD! I hope that they would dump his or her ass.
Anyway, sorry about that. Somehow it all goes together in my
brain. I hope that the Stanford swimmer douche goes back to court with a
different judge and gets prison. Let’s see what that does to his preppy boy
appetite and what daddy has to say about it then.
