It's nothing, Janos, nevermind.

I wasn't disagreeing with Al Jazeera at all.

I guess some people can't handle fame.

hospitalised after police said he was detained for running around the streets screaming in his underwear.

Well I can't really think of a better way to end this kerfluffle.

[Klaustrophobia]

sure.  it'd have been better if he was harmed in the detainment process.  tasered in the neck, bean bag round to the ballsack.  something like that.

[samiam]

vandalised cars and made sexual gestures while wearing his underwear

Couldn't have imagined a better way for this to turn out. Thanks, Ketamine.

[Klaustrophobia]

i saw a small video clip.  he wasn't wearing underwear.

The fun thing is he lives around here, so maybe I'll get video on the evening news.

Does....does it make me a bad person for laughing at that?

[Klaustrophobia]

no.

and i just thought of something.  the founder of Invisible Children will now be a registered sex offender.  if that doesn't do this retarded group in, there is no hope left for the world.

Sex offender registries are stupid and evil. Nobody deserves that fate, not even actual rapists and child molesters.

I'm not sure about that. I do think they're too widely applied, however.

i agree, only because such people should not be released from prison, thus rendering such a list unnecessary.


but people don't need to end up on it for pissing in public.  unless maybe you were pissing ON someone in public.

i would argue that public nudity has nothing to do with sex, unless of course he was wanking it or humping vehicles. same goes for pissing in public. the list should really only be for serious offenders, the fact that we put people with lesser offenses on it is cruel and unusual punishment.

the very first headlines said pretty much said that was exactly what he was doing.  then for some reason all the news outlets balked and reverted to "running around in his underwear" or just that he was "dehydrated."  you'll note he's not wearing underwear in that video.  i don't get it.  they have a REAL story that they can run with, ready-made sensationalism.  and they tone it down.


draw your own conclusions i guess.

[Nuke]

i really dont know what this guy did. ive got everything from wanking in public to running around in his underwear while on drugs (the video seems to illustrate otherwise). its really a failing of news organizations. if an actual celebrity or political figure did this they wouldn't leave it alone. only thing i can think of is that the news organizations are protecting this guy for whatever reason. this whole situation is fishy.

[samiam]

Maybe... it was both! He ran around in his underwear and then removed it.

[Nuke]

its possible. but it seems to be a misrepresentation of the facts to report that he did one (the lesser offense, running around in his undies) but not the other (the greater offense, public nudity, wanking, etc). there are clearly sources out there that support both.

[Klaustrophobia]

and video evidence.
