There is truly is no place like home.
Stanford rapist Brock Turner has walked out of jail and into the firing line of an armed and angry protest.
ABC News reports he was released early for good behaviour after serving three months for the sexual assault of an unconscious woman.
A crowd of protesters – some of whom are carrying guns – have been photographed standing outside the 21-year-old’s home.
The protesters are holding placards that demand harsh punishments for rapists and Turner himself.
“Castrate rapists,” one placard reads.
“If I rape Brock will I only do 3 months?”
One protester told WCPO the discomfort caused by their presence would be a deserved punishment.
“If he is uncomfortable, then he begins to receive at least some punishment that he deserves for his crime,” they said.
TMZ previously reported the parents of Turner had requested additional security from police to protect their son.
He is believed to have spent the weekend at a hotel with his mother but is expected to return home within days and attend the county sheriff’s department to be registered as a sex offender.
Turner must also complete three years of probation.

So do it properly and protest in front of the Courthouse against the judicial system that made this possible.
To be sure, I'm not a fan of this guy and the sentence he received, however social media inspired vigilante pitchforks and burning pyres or burning tyres (remember all that from history, it's incredibly ugly) against the person rather than the system is an anathema to me to in a modern society.
I see being a vigilante is the new in thing. Certainly not saying he doesn't deserve more than he got but we are seeing more and more people trying to get justice their own way be it online or in person.
I can totally understand people being angry at this sentence, 3 months is ridiculous. I wonder where we draw the line though, not in this instance but in general. Who gets to decide what is worthy of bush justice and what isn't?
Again, care to point me to any of that supposed victim blaming?
Like I said, not in this case but in general. This case is pretty clear.
