His defense is that he was caught up in the moment. Will wait for half the board to be outraged that people are outraged over this.
I actually think her but hit his hand. Clearly he is running a race and she was in his way.
I hope he sues for assault.

What else could he do? It was caught on camera, and clearly there is no tolerance for that anymore. He’s also likely to face charges. He needs to do whatever he can to get in front of this rather than stay behind (
). (That said, I still can’t blame him. )
He should lose his job, his good name, his wife and kids and all of his money and stuff.
I think we need a rear view angle.

Something for folks OUTRAGED. by the guy’s behavior to consider: Why did the TV station hire her? Let’s have the TV station list all of the reasons.

He could have said he thought it was a guy and he knew him.
He could have said he didnt mean to touch her.
Plenty of things.
Instead he apologized publicly.

The stories that take off like this are ones right at the line.
Is this incorrect and unacceptable? Everyone agrees yes.
Is this assault?
Should someone lose their life over this?
There are different answers on the second two based on being a twitter freak or a normal human.
LdN
He may have apologized at the advice of an attorney. He gains nothing and likely is worse off if he defends his behavior or tries to deny it. He could have stayed silent, but with it in the public eye, maybe he wins some sympathy by admitting his mistake.

You’ve already said you don’t blame him - he has to hope he gets some more folks who matter to think the same way you do.
Noone in the world doesn't blame him. Noone. Even he blames himself and apologized.

I agree with the second part. As for the first part, of course I’m kidding. He was absolutely wrong. I’m sure he will pay the price to some extent beyond public humiliation. However, I don’t think his life should be ruined by it.
She’s meh, but beauty is in the eyes of the beerholder.I’m starting to think we’re focused on the wrong thing here.
I have the [

FWIW, New York Post article says she filed a report with police, but hasn’t pressed charges (leaving up to police).
While Callaway’s lawyer said they “do not expect any criminal charges,” Bozarjian said she filed a police report and is leaving it up to officers.

Pillar of the community offender. I'm sure she'll sue the city for tens of millions because it happened on their streets. And win of course.
I’m not sure why anyone would think this was okay to do. And this dude was certainly old enough to know better. I would never, ever think about slapping a woman on her butt. With that being said, I remember when my mother and great grandmother were taking a walk, a man came up and flashed them, my mother thought it was kind of humorous but she was worried about how my great grandmother would handle it....my great grandmother looked at him and said “is that all there is?” My mother laughed her ass off and still laughs about it to this day. I think people in general need to toughen up a bit.
Did he apologize? Maybe he did, but the last I saw on the matter, he had given an interview where you spewed a load of bullshit, claiming that he was attempting to wave at the camera, and basically messed up doing that ... and that he hit her in the back, but didn't know where in the back ... and that he didn't see her facial expression, but if he had, he would have apologized.
Doesn't seem like a guy who gets it.
He seems like a guy trying to make a preemptive legal defense, rather than admitting he intentionally slapped a woman he didn't know on the ass while she was working, and that even if he thought, prior, that this was the 1950s and slapping female strangers on the ass was an allowable activity, that he now knows he was acting like a dirtbag.

no tolerance for touching/hitting someone else who doesn't want you to? Is it a bad thing in your opinion it isn't tolerated anymore?
Some of the other people in that video might have touched her too. I can't tell for sure but lots of them running past her were putting their hands over/around/near her.
My point is that if the criterion is strictly just don't touch someone then any of the people running past her putting their hands near her that might have ended up touching her are in the same boat as the guy that put his hand on her butt.
I don't think they're the same thing but my point was that if it's a monolithic "touch someone without permission = bad" thing then they're the same. I agree that having gradations is more sensible.
Fair enough but I think it was clear what his intent was. I’m tired of people on both sides pretending like intent is no longer a thing that matters. His is intent was to slap her in her ass most likely to be funny. But it was unwanted and therefore inappropriate.
