Score one for the good guys.

[BeckB]

One good man can do soooo much more than any 'governmental agency'. Thanks for taking the time to help!

Prediction: the carpenter will be sentenced to mandatory anger-management classes.

The perv will be lauded on Oprah and backed by Nambla to run for Congress as a Dhimmocrat.

In reading the story, I see the police took in the perv - and the local paper/police rate this guy as a hero.

In a major city, he would be arrested for assault, in San Fran he would be lynched.

Anyway, good for him. One reason I avoid public restrooms is because of drunks, creeps, dopers, etc, etc.

Contrast this story, which happened in the US, with this one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1779500/posts.

Question is will they keep the perv locked up? Hmm...let me guess...

Unfortunately you are probably correct. At the least this hero will be brought up on charges.

In the old days he would be a good walk-in candidate for the Bruins.

Ah, now THAT was hockey! ;)

" St. George, said this former high school boxer and wrestler, “looked about 6-foot-3, 260 pounds. I’m 5-foot-7 and 170 pounds, but my size has never been a problem. If you’re right, you’re going to win. At first I said, ‘What are you doing here, buddy?’ He had a bunch of different stories.” "

Good for him, most of the time it truly isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog...

Real Man: 1
Pervert: 0

I hope the carpenter got some really good hits and kicks in. Maybe if more citizens beat the billclinton out of these perverts at every opportunity they'll keep their disgusting fantasies to themselves.

The excerpt say the man was "allegedly touching himself", but further down in the article it says that someone said that the guy was masturbating. I am a woman, but I would assume that at a urinal every guy would be touching himself without being a perv.

The excerpt say the man was "allegedly touching himself"....

It will be the carpenter's word against the word of the perv and his attorney. Not a good situation.

I just saw black

That's an odd expression. I always thought the norm is "I saw red".

The article didn't say anything about the race of the perp, but they'll probably charge the carpenter with a race crime just for using that expression.

It depends on how "fast' he shakes it when he is done.

[Aquinasfan]

Damn. In a public skating rink?

[filepile]

can you imagine if this dude were Terry O'Reilly?

We'd be talking murder charges, methinks.

[CDHart]

The good guy will probably end up getting sued for assault and battery.

[Holicheese]

The pedophile or the carpenter?

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I say give the carpenter a medal for not killing the guy.

[Rakkasan1]

10 minutes in the penalty box for 'roughing the suspect'.
what a freak.
