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?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

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

So going forward, I should keep my crimes under half an hour and it’s fine. Good to know.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Keep it under 27 minutes just to be on the safe side

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Is it total minutes or consecutive?

[-] QueriesQueried@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Either, just to be safe.

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.

"I only murdered for a minute, tops!"

"it would have been quicker too had the victim not resisted so much."

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thats why the cops yell at you to stop resisting after they shoot you.

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.

NO TOUCHING!

[-] Balthazar@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

So, that's a guilty plea?

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Only a little light treason.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago

With a sliver of sedition

You’re going to have to make gif noises and pretend.

[-] KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How do you pronounce gif noises?

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

It's pronounced the same way it's written

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 27 points 1 year ago

Well if he only committed treason for 26 minutes, how about 25 minutes in front of a firing squad?

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Crimes are billed by the hour.

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 10 points 1 year ago

Well that's all right then!

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

26 is all it required for him to set things in motion.

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"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."

"Your honor, my client only robbed the bank of $4000."

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's an eternity for an android
