A drunk cruise ship passenger has been arrested after dropping the anchor on a moving liner. Rick Ehlert, 44, went into a restricted area, put on work gloves and released the anchor of the 1,260-passenger ship in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, said the FBI. For good measure he also threw a life buoy overboard as the liner made its way from Costa Maya on the Caribbean coast of Mexico to Tampa, Florida. The sailing enthusiast is now in custody and faces charges of attempting to damage a vessel and endangering a ship's safe navigation. If found guilty he could have to pay a $250,000 (£160,000) fine and be imprisoned for up to 20 years.

How you leaped t being raped by homosexuals puzzles me, but I see that kind of thing a lot where supposed straight guys seem to find joy that males in custody of the state also might be raped.
Some people give to other people, try to help them and make other people stronger. They work to uplift the community in which they live. These are what I call ‘Good People’. There are others who prey upon the weak, steal what little they have, and beat the weak into submission. These are the predators.
I enjoy seeing predators, who prey upon the weak - being preyed upon by other predators. The stories of a bully who picks on the wrong kid - and get’s his clock cleaned - makes my day.
I can tolerate hearing about how the predators tear each other to pieces all day long - and enjoy knowing that they too are experienceing some of the misery they have so liberally spread to their victims. For whatever reason, many of our Felons have not learned not to prey upon the weak - so, if forced prison sex is a way to teach them to behave - hey, it works for me. That lesson will teach them something that their parents and years of hand-holding and counselling have failed to do.
Sounds like a fitting penalty for the eco-pirates on "Whale Wars" to me.
Open question to anyone. What was the water depth when this happened? Did the anchor and rode play out? Did it drag bottom?
Lol, I sure nailed you with my original post.
