WTF ?
You know what would happen to a similar perv in Texas ? Or do you live in Austin ?
ahhh, so next time we just kick the guy in the face then. Whoops! didn’t mean that, my foot slipped.
I don’t get this. Seriously. A guy can do that and not be charged with something? That makes no sense whatsoever. Amazing...
“WTF ?

I give you a simple indisputable fact about the case and you go on a rant. WTF!
