THe cop made a move toward the Senator. He found it suspicious that the Senator waited for about a minute to go into a stall. The Senator said he was waiting for someone to leave as the stalls were full. Not unusual in an airport where usually I have to wait.
The cop found it suspicious hs roller bag was in the stall against the door,,where else would the man put it.
The feet bumped,,so what.
The man picked up something off the floor,,big deal.
The cop took him to an interrogation with nobody else there based on the flimsy actions above.
I think the cop wanted a bribe.
How do you know he went out of his way? He said he used that bathroom when he flew thru there. Is it next to his favorite place to eat? There are reasons one goes out of his way and sometimes it is to find a less crowded place. That is not evidence. But where did you get that information.
The cop said he peeped, said he could see the Senator thru the crack in the door. Not very good information and subject to interpretation.
The whole thing is nebulous.
ANd this thread has so much bigotry on it it is hard to read.
“ANd this thread has so much bigotry on it it is hard to read.”
The fact is Craig is a goner... and thee will be one less vote for Amnesty.
Thats a good thing.
Totally agree with you. It’s like we’ve been invaded by the body snatchers. I simply cannot understand the blindness of so many here about what has gone on here.
But remember when Nifong first came out against the LaCross players?
Here and all over the country people IMMEDIATELY were calling for the LaCross players to be kicked out of school and almost lynched!
For heaven’s sake - did we not learn then to never jump to conclusions? And that “law” officials can sometimes have an “agenda”????? other than arresting true criminals????
Thanks for giving me hope all is not lost. I didn’t have that hope yesterday.
THe cop made a move toward the Senator.
Where did you get that? The cop claimed Craig bumped him, and Craig said he "had a wide stance"
He found it suspicious that the Senator waited for about a minute to go into a stall.
No, he found it suspicious that he was peering into his stall for an extended period of time.
The Senator said he was waiting for someone to leave as the stalls were full. Not unusual in an airport where usually I have to wait.
Agreed, nothing unusual there.
The cop found it suspicious his roller bag was in the stall against the door,,where else would the man put it.
No there is nothing suspicious about taking your luggage into the stall, but the officer's suspicions were alerted by the WAY he deployed inside the stall, using it to maximize the privacy in the way that gays do when using the stalls for sexual encounters. Presumably he laid it along it's longest edge, or maybe unfolded a garment bag to maximize it's use as a privacy curtain.
The feet bumped,,so what.
foot tapping and feet bumping is a well established method used by gays to establish contact in restrooms while giving them some measure of plausible deniability in the event of approaching a non-participant in their culture.
The man picked up something off the floor,,big deal.
Yes, I'm always keen to clean up public restrooms when I can, nothing better than to go scrabbling around with my bare hands where countless men have pissed on the floor to see if I can pick up a piece of toilet paper contaminated with a total stranger's fecal matter. Of course while doing so, I have to be careful not use another well established gay signalling technique, namely putting my hand under the partition in an attempt to have physical contact with the person in the next stall.
The cop took him to an interrogation with nobody else there based on the flimsy actions above.
I don't know if that is true but he recorded the conversation so what is your point?
I think the cop wanted a bribe.
Now there's solid deduction - Craig performs a string of not normal actions that clearly identify him to the officer as a gay looking for anonymous sex but you say it is all circumstantial, meanwhile the officer, who you have no information about whatsoever is allegedly corrupt -where's your proof? I didn't hear him soliciting a bribe on the tape, did you?
How do you know he went out of his way? He said he used that bathroom when he flew thru there. Is it next to his favorite place to eat? There are reasons one goes out of his way and sometimes it is to find a less crowded place. That is not evidence. But where did you get that information.
Fox news reported it, they said the bathroom was substantially out of the way and implied that it required him to exit through security onto the main concourse.
The whole thing is nebulous.
So you have a person, that other people claim to have had gay sex with, going out of his way to visit a known gay hangout (regularly by your account), exhibit, multiple signs (extended peering, foot tapping, foot bumping, hand under partition, luggage deployment) that identifies him to a cop as someone soliciting gay sex, and you think it is all nebulous.....
I suppose you also think that those middle eastern gentlemen last week that were riding the Seattle ferries all day, behaving strangely and gathering as much information on the working of the ferries as they could were just fun-loving tourists....
On this point I'll agree with you especially when you consider how nasty the area around the toilet might be in a men's public restroom. I know how nasty women's restrooms can get, I can only imagine how a men's room might be. Having been married to a man as well as having a son, there's been many a time I wished they'd do a little target practice.
I'd place my rolling bag as far away as feasible from the toilet.
