Runner who slapped TV reporter’s behind is banned from future races
The New York Post ^ | December 9, 2019 | Lee Brown

Posted on 12/09/2019 8:21:07 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

The pervy jogger who slapped a TV reporter’s behind during a 10K in Georgia has been identified by officials — and banned from future races.

Race organizers had immediately vowed to find the handsy creep who left WSAV-TV anchor Alex Bozarjian feeling “violated, objectified, and embarrassed” while she reported on Saturday’s Savannah Bridge Run.

“Yesterday afternoon we identified him and shared his information with the reporter and her station,” the Savannah Sports Council tweeted, without revealing his name publicly.

“We will not tolerate behavior like this at a Savannah Sports Council event,” the council said in another post. “We have made the decision to ban this individual from registering for all Savannah Sports Council owned races.”

Guess it’s a good thing these youngsters didn’t grow up in the 60’s. They wouldn’t have survived,,,ha.

It was creepy and unnecessary. She didn’t know him, they weren’t flirting at a club. Since when it is okay to put your hands on a stranger? It’s not!

He didn't put his "hands" on her. He swatted her butt with one hand as he ran by at a very fast clip. And he did it as she was standing in the path of the race and seeing others jump up behind her, make faces, mug for the camera and yell out things. And then she decided that she was going to throw him to the wolves without even giving him a chance to apologize.

“You are perverting and twisting what actually happened.”

He didn’t smack the rear end of a women he didn’t even know?

I bet his wife isn’t too happy with him slapping a 23 year-old on the ass.

Let me add...the reporter COULD have found him privately and told him privately that she didn’t appreciate it and ask that he apologize.

...except that the runner publicly put his hands on her. He started this.

Just because snowflake SJWs believe you should get permission before touching someone doesn't mean they're wrong. Something tells me Jesus probably wouldn't approve, either.

My question is has he done this before.

Apparently, he is involved in the “boy” scouts.

Your argument is that she isn’t a victim and should expect to have her ass slapped as a reporter at the location of her assignment. Correct? And, that a man shouldn't harm said 'slapper' because its all fun and life goes on. Nothing should happen to 'slapper' because that's how it should be?

She should have expected that as a public figure in front of a camera where thousands of people are having a good time that people are going to be doing stupid things in front of the camera. EVERY PERSON that ran by did something stupid. They put the camera there and she's there because they knew people were going to do stupid things to try to get on TV. If she didn't want to invite people to do stupid things for the camera she could have done a standup far away from any crowd.

“I bet his wife isn’t too happy with him slapping a 23 year-old on the ass.”

Pro tip - if you’re tired of the “old model” and get the urge to go out and smack the butts on the new models, try not to do it in front of a TV audience.
This is something like winning the Darwin Award, except the one who wins it wins it for ruining his life for the foreseeable future.

Oh baloney. He ran by and swatted her behind so fast that you couldn't even tell it happened. But SHE got all mad looking on camera and you didn't really know why UNTIL she got on twitter and huffed and puffed about it.

He smacked the butt of a REPORTER doing a LIVE shot on TV. Go on youtube and look at the all the videos of reporters doing live shots that are bugged by members of the public. I guess we should comb through all those videos and throw them all to the twitter perpetually outraged wolves.

I’ve never known of anyone who’s ever thought it was a good or right thing to do to go around slapping the rears of women whom they did not know.

That’s not to say there aren’t sleazeballs or actual, certified morons who can’t control themselves and have at it without a thought, but they’re the dregs of humanity.

Oaky, I got it - so the accurate plea to the judge, then, is:

I “smacked the butt of a REPORTER doing a LIVE shot on TV”, it’s incumbent on me as a citizen to do that, it’s my civic duty! It’s in the Constitution!!

Yeah, the accurate version should work fine. I expect his atty is going to go with it if this goes to a criminal trial.

“Something tells me Jesus probably wouldn’t approve, either.”

Ok, I”m just going to mention this since eventually someone else will. Jesus said if someone slaps you on the cheek, then you turn to him the other cheek. In other words, resist not evil done to you. Do no revenge. Return no evil.

Makes us realize how perfect Jesus Christ was. He did no evil and returned no evil. In our human nature we cannot live as He did; which is why we need Him living inside our hearts, and through His Spirit we are able to keep His commandments and please God. This is our salvation: Jesus Christ living in us by His Spirit.

Here are His words:

“But I say unto you that ye resist not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”

(New Testament, Matthew 5:39)

C’mon, Man! Most of us guys leave that impulsive behavior behind after High School. Big head controls the little head, remember?

Flashback!

Dec. 28 2017, Singer Joy Villa is suing Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski for smacking her backside “extremely hard!” at a party when they first met.

Unfortunately, a video has surfaced of Joy smacking a man on the rear at a different party! However, she claims that was ‘consensual’.

Not correct - she was on live TV when it happened and viewers knew what happened and were outraged. One viewer even posted the video of it at 5:33 AM on Dec 7th:

https://twitter.com/GrrrlZilla/status/1203306427818926081
“Check out this jerk smacking a @WSAV reporter’s ass live on air. And sorry, that’s my kiddo making horribly timed weird noises in the background.”

The victim didn’t address the attack on Twitter until 9:57 AM -

Unless we’re talkin’ about time travelers, you better recheck where you got your facts on this.

“It’s like saying a high five is and assault.”

If the “high five” goes low five on the behinds of strangers, it is assault. Or, at least can be prosecuted as such. It just can’t be that hard not to go hands on with the butts of people a person doesn’t know.
