I love how you start it with this, and then end it with this crap:

Being prosecuted and being labeled a sex offender are two different things. Who said he shouldn't be prosecuted?
This guy should be in the same category as a rapist, pedophile.... NO. If that's the case they need to change the categorization of sex offenders.

And....
It's possible for him to be prosecuted and have a judgement where he wouldn't be a sex offender for the rest of his life.
Is this guy as bad as a rapist? Before this case did you think it was ok for a rapist and a statutory rapist to be labeled the same?
The law is too collective.

But multiple years in prison?
Suspended sentence - with probation, community service, and fines. And now he'll have to go knock on his neighbors' doors and let them know he's a registered sex offender.
Sorry for partying.
Oh, and Downing...good luck with the probation thing. You can't drink or be in bars while on probation.

A person that is willing to rub their balls on another person while that person is passed out in public while being video taped is a sexual deviant. Who knows what else this guy has done or would do in the future if he wasn't caught this time. I realize there are so-called straight guys (maybe 13-20yo) that do this to their friends, but at 30+ years of age if you are still doing it there is something seriously fricking wrong with you.

Think a little harder to where he RUBBED said genitals on the victim.

Yeah bars check for ppl on probation. Ask Mr. Branch if he had any trouble getting into the Bulldog.

I agree with this but you can't change the law after the fact.

If you're an FBI profiler please quit. The guy was drunk not sociopathic.
I never act that way when I'm drunk.
Do you do things like that when you're drunk? No.
Then why take up for Downing? You don't know what kind of sick frick he might be in real life.

You don't know him either. He might be just like you. If one man is drunk enough to pass out in a public place, have ball put on his forehead, and never know, don't you think it's possible for another man to do something he regrets when he was just as intoxicated.
I never said he was above reproach. Jail time and sex offender status are extreme for this case. The latter I feel he won't be able to avoid just bc of the publicity.

Ask yourself this question: How much effort on his part did it take? I bet it was close to nothing. Due to the fact that this video went viral and the guy's own relatives encouraged to turn himself in tells me not much time and effort was needed on the DA's behalf.
This is the point we should be discussing. Do people really think NOPD spent a lot of time investigating this. Half the people on tigerdroppings probably spent more wasted time at work reading this story then NOPD dead in tracking this guy down.

You've obviously never been on probation before, so maybe you should stop right there.
And do I agree with half the laws? No. But I do appreciate that by definition, this guy premeditated a very stupid and childish act that happens to fit every definition of sexual battery and in some loose ways, rape. And then to make matters even worse, he did an equally (if not more) stupid thing by showboating it on youtube for all to see.
Albeit, what he did is a prank that 18 and 19 year old amateur drinkers do to each other. But the problem here is that Downing isn't an 18 year old kid doing it to his buddy at the bonfire behind his daddy's camp on False River.

if only every murderer filmed it and put it on youtube...

Sorry but had he done that to some passed out chick he didn't know, this wouldn't even be a question. And since we're all about equality up in here...

Sober people do things they regret to. Being drunk does not create the idea of putting your balls on a stranger. The thought has never crossed my mind

I have never rubbed my genitals on another man and I've been extremely fricked up a lot of times in my past. Hell I've been to rehab twice and still never did anything of a sexually deviant behavior while I was intoxicated no matter what drug I was on.

On probation right now. Unless you are on some state/federal probation w/ a probation officer that you have to check in with he can do just about whatever he wants until he gets caught.
Just like Mr. Branch.

My wife is a lawyer (and former prosecuter) in WA state. She said you pretty much have no choice. The crime is there. You prosecute. That's how it works. Especially sexual assault or battery. I can't imagine the criminal laws in LA are much different.
Just because he thought it was funny doesn't mean he didnt commit a serious crime. I bet that passed out guy didn't think it was funny. Wierd how that works. Victims not thinking a crime is funny...

So you're on unsupervised probation. A sex offender is on supervised probation. In other words,

Being drunk is not a defense. You know how many domestic violence offenders try that? Sorry I hit my wife, but I was drunk. That makes it ok right?

LSUZ, it wasn't NOPD. It was a facebook group combined with deadspin and a few other online media groups that were after Teabagger.
NOPD, from personal experience, does not do jack.
