Mark Winegardner on the Alabama teabagger and LSU victim in ESPN the Mag

Bullshit. People who get busted doing innocent shit like taking leaks behind trees get thrown on sex offenders list everywhere but for some reason a man who voluntarily performs a sick, perverted, disgusting and degrading SEX ACT on an INNOCENT, UNWILLING VICTIM in PUBLIC and on VIDEO for FUCK'S SAKE



AND you want to think he shouldn't have to register as a sex offender?

Fuck you.

 

Lighten up, Francis Cyrus.

 

Quit blaming the victim, asshole. What if he had a stroke or something? OH SNAP he shouldn't have been wearing LSU colors.

 

Should have got five, but two is a good sentence. Rack the judge.

 

Don't think people who take a leak behind a building should have to register as sex offenders either.


Oh, and fuck you too. Asshole.

 

Dunno. Go have yourself a stroke, and we'll see if anyone looks your way.

 

I'd probably stack some Krystal boxes on the douchebag's head.

 

Finally, some common sense prevails. Thank God most of you aren't judges or this country would really be shit.

 

I'm with you Doc. Maybe I'm missing something. I wonder if those who think the sentence isn't harsh enough would feel the same way if they were the victim?

 

Christ. You're wound up about this. And you're yelling at someone who's basically on your side.

If you're going to be irrationally upset, yell at me. I disagree with you completely.

It wasn't a sex act. It was juvenile, gross, obnoxious and stupid, but he didn't ejaculate in the dude's mouth, nor was he trying to attain sexual gratification. He was engaging in drunken idiocy, the kind of which is seen thousands of times every day in frat houses and dorms all across America.

Your example of peeing behind a tree actually fits perfectly. Public urination is different than whipping it out and gratifying yourself in front of others. Both are illegal, but the law (usually) recognizes the difference in the two and treats the latter with far more severity.

 

If you're equating this situation with urinating in public, you're on the verge of moral bankruptcy.

 

Sexual gratification/ejaculation is not an element of legal definitions of sexual assault or rape. Most experts say, and based on my own experience when I was 18, rape can have nothing to with sexual gratification.

However, as much as I want to call what this guy did a sexual assault, I looked at Louisiana's definitions of sexual assault and rape can't see how it fits within those statutes. The initial charges were under those statutes so maybe I haven't found the right provision.
