I found that paragraph okay given the context of the rest of the article. Those are certainly some well-substantiated thoughts, and I think they bear contemplation. Certainly contemplation is not something most people wish to spend time doing w.r.t. this case.Â
When I see a certain vocal, less-thoughtful subset of my Facebook friend feed virally sharing emotional grenade articles on the Turner case, I know that the case and its details have been lost in the broader fight against rape (which needs to be won, but hopefully in the right manner).
I was introduced to the concept of restorative justice some years ago; that concept is nowhere to be found here. Retributive justice is the last thing I'd thought I'd see certain people campaigning for--certainly not a reliance on the prison(-industrial) system. All kinds of cognitive dissonance going on.
