Protesters carrying rifles appeared outside the home of Brock Turner in Ohio.

I find armed protests to be frightening. This group says it wasn't threatening to kill Turner, but it is a step towards return to lynching.

The idea of shooting a rapist in the act is absurd, since that would never be necessary. For instance, anyone who was present at the scene and determined to intervene could have made Turner stop without any weapons. Just to confront an angry person, he would have found it necessary to stand up.

Turner's punishment will continue for years, or perhaps the rest of his life, since he has been put on the sex offender list. That's another political issue.
