Why didn't he jump in after the picture was taken?

The force from his body would have cleared a path amongst the human waste below him, and escape would have been easier.

I saw this woman who in typical Mardi Gras fashion was asked to raise her top. When she refused, they [the men around her] began to reach at her and tear her clothes… It happened so fast that the sea of people cleared and the woman just disappeared. There was no time for me to do anything. ...from the article.

I don't think she was asking for it.

It (the photo) seems to be mostly men doing it...except for the black woman grabbing the white lady's breast from the top. Maybe it won because it was a show of multi-cultralism at work.

There was time for him to do something, that is a big time lie...just rationalization for being a coward.

Correct you are, but the majority of those in the photo were "coming of age" during the example of X42, who made it "acceptable" in the eyes of teenage boys on the cusp.

I'm always missing stuff - was there any mention of charges being brought or the condition of the woman?

It's nice to know that there are men out there like you. Very few manly men left. My father and husband would also fit into that category.

Aggie Mama...I don't believe she was asking for it either. I have seen this behavior (WITHIN seconds) at the infields of the Kentucky Derby and The Indianopolis 500. These inebriated and/or stoned out snots acted like sharks in a feeding frenzy. Thanks goodness, undercover police stepped in, but the stripping/groping was already underway. Disgusting.

Is it just me, or does it seem that there are now predictable atrocities taking place at every Seattle mardi gras? This year, it's the molestation. A couple years ago, it was a public brawl/rampage that resulted in death. Is the city so awash in abortion that it's citizens no longer give a latte about anyone's human rights?

Seems to me the police could use this photo to start picking up guyz for sexual abuse, etc. There's a guy in the upper left with a video camera. Track him down and take the tape for evidence.

Didn't the NYC cops do this some time back when some women were asaulted in Central Park?

"I don't think she was asking for it."

I didn't say that she was asking for this thing to happen. I am saying that when you go looking for excitement and action, you need to be prepared for them when they come.

"Yeah, all these uptight Puritans with their hang-ups who want to make this kind of fun between consenting adults a crime ... Must be part of the Religious Right -- they're just anti-diversity!"

At this point, I will assume that you were in the crowd.
