Thanks for that link. There appears to be more to the story.
I still believe one could be drunk enough to not know where he was peeing. I think a lot of posters on the thread have acknowledged that.
However, being drunk enough to pee on something and have your buddy take a picture is another story.
You're welcome.
Being drunk enough to PEE on Something..you're not a guy, are you?
I think the picture was taken by a bystander, not one of his pee-pals.
My take is that the guy is still shading the truth a bit - he says that he was so intoxicated that he has no recollection of peeing on the memorial, but a bit later he says that he remembers thinking that it was just a simple rock. I'd say (especially after seeing the picture) that he knew at the time that it was something other than a rock, but he was drunk enough to think it was funny to pee on it.
Still, he's facing his punishment and apologizing (whether on advice of attorney or not), so it seems fair to me to give him his lumps and move on...
Goodwin is right.
The picture was taken by a veteran who saw the police leave the memorial to deal with the crowds on Canada Day.
