Who is this guy Buckley that chicks call him in the middle of the night for advice and his wife doesn’t object? I don’t like his tone—its smarmy and boorish and condescending all at once. What is he, a “self defense” instructor for women? So a guy without all of the socially acceptable equipment tried to hit on a woman, she didn’t like him and sprayed him with pepper and got him arrested. And she was thrilled the cops told her to “continue with her evening fun”. So now some sectors of society have implied rights to assault others without legal consequences. That’s what it has come down to. Some people have a lot more rights than others. And the “others” increasingly seem to be straight white males. What a society we now have. And this guy Buckley is joining the pile-on. Has he never had his advances rejected by a woman? Absolutely no empathy whatsoever with this guy? What is he, a closet queer?
You might want to read the story again.
Slowly.
Ummm....you think he might be an attorney? Anyone who carries concealed has three things with them at all times;
That is not what happened. I advise you to reread the story. The lady was acting in self defense.
Do YOU follow women who shoot your down in bars out to the car?
I’d pepper spray you too. And I’m a guy.
Good grief..You forgot to add the sarcasm tag.
What you said. The whole story seems either made up, or ‘enhanced’
It sounds like he has a job with the 911 service in his area, answered the call, alerted the police. The guy in question; it may not be that he was without all the “socially acceptable equipment”. He may have just been drunk and disorderly. - He got himself arrested.
Finding dates in bars is pretty much nuts anyway. Rather, become friends with someone instead (maybe in church), real friends, and go from there. If you marry your friend, you have some hope for a life. If you don’t, misery lurks.
Let me get this straight - you’re defending the boor!?
You need to re-read the events.
No problem with hitting on the girl. If he had gone back to his chair after being rebuffed in the bar, things would have been OK. It crossed the line when he followed them to their car while swearing at them drunkenly in the parking lot. When he closed to within OC spray range, enough was enough.
You should re-read these events carefully, it might help keep you out of trouble yourself.
Dude, the guy was an obnoxious drunk who followed a woman onto the street and started calling her foul names. Anyone who does that to one of our companions will be lucky if pepper spray is the only thing he gets a face full of.
