“So you’re OK with apathetic crime. Sorry, there aren’t special laws for “just drunk”. Perhaps you can feel better that he wouldn’t have felt the full experience of getting severly beaten.”
Not OK with it. And there are laws against public drunkeness, and underage drinking. What he was charged with was “indecent exposure,” which I believe is a sex crime.
And I have been drunk enough on one or two occasions to not remember what happened the night before. And I did do things I wouldn’t have done sober, at least in public.
I’m sure there are more than a few tattoos and Vegas weddings that wouldn’t have happened without copious amounts of alcohol.
I read that the charges against this guy were dismissed. I don’t agree with that, either.
Pulling out your penis in front of an 11 year old girl IS a sex crime, and if I had been that girl’s father, I would have reacted accordingly.
People that say they can’t control themselves when they drink, shouldn’t drink. People who still drink after that, shouldn’t be cut any slack.
And I’m still not buying the idea that being drunk changes people. It decreases their inhibitions, but it doesn’t turn them into different people. If someone has a proclivity to pull out their penis in public, but are able to control themselves, then they shouldn’t drink.
