Holy crap. His attorneys are as stupid as he is. A girl passed out on roofies wouldn't have any recollection of things done to her either.

And if people think any jurisdiction in Alabama wouldn't be prosecuting the crap out of the guy if the situation was reversed, they're fricking idiots.

So let me see if I have this right? A city that allows, no actively encourages, women to expose their breasts on public streets in order to recieve pieces of plastic held together by a string, is going to prosecute a man for showing his genitals?


Woman or man showing genitals will get you arrested.
Boobs may get you arrested. As long as the crowd is moving and or not growing into an out of control size, the cops will not make a big deal about it. If the crowd gets out of control, the cops will tell the woman to stop showing boobs. If she does not stop, then an arrest will follow.

Typical Jack Arse response from Bama idiots for what he did.

Anthing goes when Bama wins and it is OK because we are Bama.

Put the idiot lunatic in jail, maybe they will think twice when they come back to Louisiana.

In the words of the immortal Bama icon Gump "stupid is what stupid does" you can't get more stupid that what that moron did.

saying that the guy belongs in jail is showing you just how ruh-tarded some of you really are.

does the guy deserve some form of repremand? absoutely. but jail time? calling him a sexual deviant? c'mon man.

pay some form of fine. damamges for "mental stress" or whatever. make a public apology. everyone move on.

NOLA is doing itself a giant disservice by pursuing this case.


So a city that relies heavily on tourism has an obvious sexual assault occur in it's most famous tourist area by tourists that was recorded and made international news. You think it's in the best interest of the city to just let it slide?

Why? Should Nola give the message it's ok to rub your balls on people's faces here? Should Nola not persecute a felony that they have on video? It's not like they just avoid all murder cases, come on.


This is part of it.

If NOLA PD and DA allows this to go unpunished, then people will think it is the norm.

You don't want people to think it is the norm, espeically around Mardi Gras season and other future events.

This guy made a decision to be an arse-hole to another human being. Period. People need to be held accountable for their actions, both good and bad. Their is absolutely NO excuse to do what he did. He was not provoked. It was out of bounds behavior, regardless of the city and event.

Oh, so you let it go and drunk idiots think it's okay to do and we start seeing more of it. Now watch the Gump's rally around the guy and defend him.

I don't think anybody has ever defended the guy, clearly his actions were wrong. But the fact he could spend multiple years in jail is a little absurd. This seems more like a probation/community service crime than anything. I don't really see how this guy is a danger to society. But, he was clearly wrong and will have to face the consequences, whatever they may be. Years in jail just doesn't seem to fit the crime.

Okay... so what we have here is an unconcious victim. Someone who is completely incapable of defending himself, and the lawyers for the defense are basically saying "since he was unconcious, then he didn't feel it... so... what's the big deal?"

Those of you who think this case shouldn't be prosecuted or should only be a slap on the wrist... is it open season now on people when they are at their most vulnerable?

What if the victim wasn't drunk? What if he had epilepsy or diabetes or something that made him pass out? Would it still be okay then?

To me, that's the reason why this guy NEEDS to be prosecuted. He looked at another human being who was completely incapable of fighting back, and he chose to sexually assault him. HE COULD HAVE JUST WALKED AWAY.

Would he have even tried to do such a thing if the guy was concious and aware? Of course not. Because the victim would have opposed him.

He did what he did because the victim was helpless.

That is the sign of a sociopathic individual, who needs to be removed from society for a while.

No one said it was OK. Point doesn't compute.

This guy will never be able to bring his kids to school, will have to register as a sex offender, etc. etc...

Seems like overkill.

If you're an FBI profiler please quit. The guy was drunk not sociopathic.

Some respondents in AL have even made disgusting attempts to blame the victim. Seeming to suggest this behavior is accepted in AL.

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever pulled your nuts out and rubbed them on an opposing fan's head after a game, and then video taped it and put it on youtube so the entire world could see it? No? Why, because you didn't want to possibly pay the consequences for it right?

Well, this guy made the wrong decision, so now it's time to pay consequences for it. He's living in big boy world now.

Bottom line is if the dude wasn't passed out on the counter of a Krystal Burger with nobody around to watch out for him this whole situation would have been avoided
