>>The bar is fine. The bathroom is another matter. The walls are put there to provide privacy.

In my entire life I don’t think my feet or hands have ever ended up in the next stall.<<

Does that mean he’s gay? Yep, almost certainly. Is it offensive? It is to me - I don’t want guys trying to pick me up in the bathroom.

And I’d agree with you that there is an expectation of privacy once you’re in a stall - its an intrusion for the guy in the next stall to try to interact with you unless there is some kind of toilet paper emergency.

I’m saying, though, I don’t see this as something that ought to be arrestable, when the accused hasn’t said anything or made any physical contact.

Disorderly conduct is NOT lewdness, solicitation, etc. ...big difference.

The plea isn’t the evidence for what he’s being accused of.

Thank you. Good advice...I’ll take it.

It's not my definition. It's the statute's.

Obviously. And there's nothing in what he confessed to which charges lewd behavior.

Poor judgment, indeed.

Craig voluntarily signed this statement:

“I now make no claim that I am innocent of the charge to which I am entering a plea of guilty. “

Famous last words.

No, I think he's still with the airport PD.

Interestingly, there is a David A. Karsnia of Detroit Lakes, MN, listed on OpenSecrets.org, as a small (total $820) donor. $600 to the National Republican Congressional Committee, and $220 to the National Funeral Directors Association.

This particular David Karsnia is a funeral home manager. Perhaps he's Sgt. Dave's dad?

(This ought to liven up the discussion and speculation around here.)

Is it logical that a guy who wants to keep his trousers clean would ever pick anything up off a public restroom’s floor?

What is the legal definition of duress? Democrats love to spout that any legal fight after he signed that statement would be an admission of purgery. However, is you are forced to sign a legal statement under duress, is that actually purgery? In these situations, I have altered my middle initial while signing my name to a "U" instead of the correct "R", to signify that I was signing my name under duress.
Well, he didn't sign his guilty plea that day in the police department. I'm sure he worked it out with the district attorney's office over the phone. He had plenty of time to decide what to do.

People try to retract guilty pleas all the time but it rarely works.

So what is the legal definition of duress? I don't know but I don't think this is it. He hadn't lingered in solitary or been beaten. Really he was only subjected to a few minutes of confrontational interrogation.

But if he did sign it under duress then by all means he should fight to change it.

Can’t disagree with that. He did plead guilty to misconduct.

I can’t see where just the action of passing ones hand, foot, etc. by the wall would lead one to being arrested. I mean even on the streets they have to get an actual type of “verbal” agreement for such services don’t they before they just up and arrest someone. I would hate to think I was in the restroom one day and got arrested because I peeped under a stall to see if it were occupied or clicked my heels one too many times.

Maybe we should all listen to our mothers and go before we leave the house?

ROFL! True words of wisdom.

[ if that Johnson can still stand at attention that male is fertile ]
 
1. A Vascetomy renders a male impotent but normally has no effect upon the ability to produce an erection. 
 
    In this case, Mr. Johnson would be standing at attention but firing blanks.
 
2. IIRC,it is possible , in some cases, for a  male to ejaculate sperm and produce a pregnancy even if unable to produce an erection.
 
 
On a related but completely un-related topic (bah dump bump) , watch the movie "The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human" - it's absolutely hilarious.

Ha. Bet Craig wishes he did.

Very weak case. It did, however, serve to knock the Clinton- receiving -Chinese- money -issue right out of the news.

Yes, Freepers would rather crucify their own Senator on a very questionable charge than care about Hitlery getting wads of dirty money.

Very sad.

Fair enough. But look at it in the bigger picture. Should the police just ignore this activity in public bathrooms? What if your kid walked into the stall next to a circus like this?

As for me, I just want to be left alone to foul the air in peace when I am on the throne.

Toe-tapping?

I would say yes.

People defending this pervert are out of their minds!

LC: You solicited me.

then later:

LC: I don't recall. I remember reaching down once. There was a piece of toilet paper back behind me and picking it up.

What kind of idiot picks up toilet paper that's fallen on a dirty bathroom floor?

DK: Okay. Was your was your palm down or up when you were doing that?

LC: I don't recall.

DK: Okay. I recall your palm being up. Okay.

LC: All right.

DK: When you pick up a piece of paper off the ground, your palm would be down, when you pick something up.

LC: Yeah, probably would be. I recall picking the paper up.

This guy is guilty as sin. What a loser.

I guess "Karsnia" isn't as rare a surname as I was thinking.

(I knew that it would be a Freeper - and not the MSM - that would find out if the Dave Karsnias were, or were not, related.)

:-)
