Remember the old saying of “it is better to sit in silence and be thought a fool than it is to open your mouth and remove all doubt”.
So you believe that exposing ones self to a woman and her child is harmless and should be dealt with in what way?
If the guy was sick enough to masturbate in front of her and her child, he was also sick enough to be considered a threat to her safety and that of her son. He displayed a mentally ill behavior and that gave her enough of a legal reason to feel that her life, and that of her child, were in danger.
I think you had better find a liberal site where you can defend the sick perverts since that seems to be your leaning.
Yes, I bet the liberal MeOnTheBeach has no problem with abortion where they suck out the head!
