Armed Protesters Surround Home of Convicted Stanford Rapist

Carrying pistols, shotguns and assault rifles, and hoisting signs that read "castrate rapists," and "shoot your local rapist," dozens of animated protesters – men and women – this weekend staked out the Dayton, Ohio, home of convicted rapist Brock Turner, the Stanford swimmer who was released Friday after serving only 3 months of a lenient 6-month sentence that outraged people across the U.S.

"If the justice system failed him [Turner], then the community will not," one protester told a local radio station, WCPO. "We know what he did, and we're not going to forget."

"He's not gonna live some happy, pleasant life," another told radio station WHIO. "We're going to never let him forget what he did." Said yet another: "If he is uncomfortable, then he begins to receive at least some punishment that he deserves for his crime," another added.

Ohio is an open carry state and police and firefighters were assigned to monitor the demonstration. In June, Judge Aaron Persky sentenced Turner to six months for sexually assaulting an unconscous woman behind a fraternity house dumpster, arguing that a longer prison time would "severely impact" the 20-year old, at the time a promising athlete on the Stanford swim team.

The same judge would later hand out a three year sentence to a Latino man for the same crime.

Michele Dauber, the Stanford law professor that started a petition calling for the recall of Judge Persky, also organized protests outside the county jail which released Turner Friday.

"With collegiate athletes, the judge seems to have a blind spot, and doesn’t see these felonies as serious crimes against women," she told Democracy Now!, saying that the Turner’s sentence was “overly lenient”, as the state mandates a two-year minimum sentence.

Neighbors in Turner’s residence aren’t happy either.

One complained to ABC she had moved into the area because there were no registered sex offenders there, but now that is going to change.

By Saturday evening, Turner had failed to register as a sex offender with Greene County Sheriff’s Office. The rapist will be on probation for another 3 years and remain as a registered sex offender for the rest of his life.

As reported, Greene County's sheriff has promised that law enforcement official won't be "treating him with kid gloves."

"We're going to treat him like every other sex offender that comes through the doors," Gene Fischer told WHIO.
