Now some questions for you:
1. When you go to the public bathroom at an airport, do you always go to the bathroom closest to your gate?
2. Have you ever waited a minute or two because the stalls in the bathroom are full?
3. When you sit in a bathroom stall, have you ever placed your brief case or luggage in front of your feet toward the door as opposed to next to the toilet?
4. A listener called a local host on WMAL in Washington and recounted how he was in a bathroom stall at the airport and the person next to him slid his foot toward his. He said he stomped on the other person’s foot. It happened to be a police officer doing a sting operation. The listener had been accused of soliciting sex for stomping on the officer’s foot. The matter was eventually dropped. Don’t you think a little more than shoes touching is required before you can actually read somebody’s mind?
5. Have you ever done anything you’ve kept secret from your wife or other family members? If so, what was it?
6. Before this case, have you ever heard of another case where someone is accused of lewd behavior without — exposing himself, touching himself, touching another person, or saying a single word? If so, what case would that be?
7. Why would local prosecutors cut a deal with Craig in which he would admit guilt to a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct when they could have presumably prosecuted him for a gross misdemeanor and sent a much stronger message to would-be bathroom perverts?
8. If the officer is involved in bathroom sting operations all the time, why didn’t he invite Craig to take more definitive steps toward soliciting sex, or is it possible the officer didn’t think Craig would take the bait?
Ok, chew on those for a while. Off to dinner. Now, I know you will be hovering over your computer and this thread for hours. But don’t consider my absence anything but a desire to ignore you at this point. Thank me!
All with half-a-brain tied behind you back. Not bad, Mr. Levin.
“7. Why would local prosecutors cut a deal with Craig in which he would admit guilt to a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct when they could have presumably prosecuted him for a gross misdemeanor and sent a much stronger message to would-be bathroom perverts?”
Excellent question.
