She did think she had an extraordinarily good reason.
But a hallmark of inordinately stupid MFers is they always seem to think they have good reasons for the dumbfuckery in which they engage.
Ida Ann: “CPS, I need to report a teenager is dressed inappropiately!”
CPS: “Lady, if a teenager’s dressed we’re ahead of the curve. Don’t waste our time”
She was booked Wednesday into the Purgatory Correctional Facility in Hurricane.
This had me laughing out loud. Purgatory?!
Any port in a storm.
A story about the woman’s arrest:
In the body camera footage, Lorenzo appeared shocked when the officer told her that she was being taken into custody. “You are going to arrest me?” she said.
She honestly thought she was being a hero and was shocked to learn that it was wrong to disrobe a stranger in a public place without their consent.
“Everyone behind me applauded,” Lorenzo told the officer in one of the phone calls. She added that if she had called police and waited for an officer to respond, it’d have been too late.
I legitimately think this woman is delusional. I guarantee that nobody was supporting her in that confrontation outside of her own mind.
Wouldn’t it be great if she was required to register as a sex offender?
So by the “I only touched her skirt, not her skin” defense, it’s OK to punch someone repeatedly as long as your fist only directly touches their clothing, not their actual flesh?
“When you’re famous, you can grab them by the pants. They let you.”
Remember how “anything you say can be used against you in court”? She basically admitted to battery when she said she touched the skirt.
Yeah, I’m seeing more boredom than WTF. I’m guessing they’re finding a two-hour ramble less thrilling than ten-second sound bites.
Every pair of young siblings in the back of a car on a roadtrip will be using this defense.
Parent: Stop touching your sibling.
Child: I’m not touching him!
The sort of fan who comes for the Greatest Hits, not for a whole side of the new The Late Great Hannibal Lecter album.
Isn’t “everyone applauded” one of the standard “fake story” red flags on Not Always Right?
You’d also think at least one of those enthusiastically approving souls would have stuck around to make sure this hero wasn’t misunderstood by authorities.
Washington County is mostly desert, and it’s said:
My father grew up in central Utah, and they had a number of unflattering comments about the geography as well.
Yeah, having watched some of the video of her talking to the police, she’s absolutely convinced she’s right.
I just finished watching that video. Wow. She’s really surprised she got arrested. And what did she expect to happen for *pulling down someone’s skirt"? That’s not how you cover up something on a person’s body, now, is it?
Yes? Because it means “pulling down” as in “adjusting a piece of clothing that has ridden up”, not “jerking it down to her ankles”? For instance, here is someone pulling diwn their shirt a lot.
I can think of three circumstances when it’s acceptable to grab ahold of a stranger’s clothing:
One, if said clothing is on fire and you’re trying to help put the fire out.
Two, if you’re yanking the person out of danger – pulling them out of the way of a truck or back from falling off a subway platform, something of that sort.
Three, if the person has first grabbed ahold of you or someone they’re immediately threatening, and you’re trying to get them off you/prevent them from damaging somebody else.
‘I don’t like how this stranger’s clothing is arranged’ is most definitely not an acceptable reason.
If you don’t want to look at their butt cheeks, don’t look at their butt cheeks. I agree that I don’t like the look of having half one’s butt hanging out in most circumstances; but it’s none of my business if somebody wants to do it anyway.
Four, you’re fighting another hockey player.
And even there, there’s rules.
