Bloody He))
I gave her exactly the same advice as any one of you did
Tell. Although my response was not as eloquently crafted as Ill bash his face in, and castrate the SOB. I still never even imagined that my intent could have been so wholly missed by all but a few. And it was BTW: at least, no less helpful.
Thank you very much Bob, I think of you as a friend also... that was a very kind statement.
Waynne Fowler:
IMO you should write a letter to the dive shop and to the certification agency this person works for.
Let her go ahead and pursue legal action. I think it is most likely a futile effort. One worth her making? I cant answer that.
What did other offers that I did not, Condolences? Sympathy? If offers to beat the hell out of him, cripple him for life and such, constitute sympathy and condolence then sure she got a bunch of that. If I offered to take a bat to his knee caps or rip his lungs out first, would you still be angry with me?
I have, in light of the fact that I was not there and have no firsthand knowledge of the events, deemed myself NOT in a position to assume guilt or innocence.
I personally feel pretty certain even the lady involved has gotta be a little unnerved by the whole Lets pull out his nails with pliers and cripple him for life attitude. Perhaps all the talk about crippling or maiming the guy is what you all think this girl wants or needs. I dont know
.. maybe it is? If thats the case
well
I cant give that. Quite frankly, on second thought
the thought that, that is what she wants or need scares me almost as bad as the thought of this incident itself being real.
If you think Im jacked up because my thinking allows room for the possibility of another side of things, then this is really gonna foam your brain. Even if he did, exactly what she says, in just the way she says. Im still not down with hobbling the dude or bashing his face in and castrating him. While it appeals to my I WILL JACK YOU UP M.F. IF YOU F WITH ME manly, animalistic side. I just cant roll too far with that. Even on the internet. You may think as some rocket scientist here stated, that somehow, because I allow myself to think about other possibilities Im just as socially reprehensible as someone who IS guilty of cornering an innocent person into an unfamiliar and dangerous environment and taking advantage of them. If thats how you think then IMVHO its not me with the messed up moral compass.
And for the record. No I do NOT think that someone who thinks differently than me is wrong or goofy or an idiot or some social deviant nor do I equate them with a sexual predator. The only reason anyone is railing me here, is while accepting the story at face value and answering the girls question, rather than throwing out to the public that Id gut him in town square for their viewing pleasure I offer up that there may be more to the groping part of things than meets the eye here. However doubtful it may seem. I for one, due to the lack of information, will continue to assume that there other possibilities.
If on the day he is found guilty and punished. I will be much delighted. Except if they choose to castrate, bash his face in or bust his kneecaps with a baseball bat. Id have to disagree with that, while that might be appropriate for some sexual crimes. IMO Castration or crippling seem a bit too extreme a punishment for feeling a gal up no matter how wrong I think it to be. You may feel he should be shot in the head in plain view of his children to set an example. I do not.
Sorry that I sort of let myself think freely in print while posting here. I really didnt realize that even the suggestion of another possibility would solicit such spiteful responses. What a drag. This used to be the one place someone could come and think openly without it being assumed you were trying to pick a fight. You didnt have to write some tome to explain yourself, cuz no one here walked around with a chip on their shoulders and they attempted to converse and debate like adults, theyd at very least make an attempt to understand your POV.
