Olympics: RIO Trainwreck Containment - Lochte and others, whatever - Page 60 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

You can insert "white US citizen" instead of cop, if you'd like. It's still the same issue. Black kids on lawn, they break mailbox, Uncle JimBob comes out with his AR-15, country in outrage if/when someone gets shot.

It's the same issue but with completely different levels of gravity. Civilian shootings don't get the level of outrage that you're talking, for obvious reasons

Ya I don't get ppl being super outraged over pissing in a building. I can't imagine anyone on this forum hasn't had to pee after a night drinking and did so on a building. It's not property damage. The building can withstand it.

Brazil trying to extort money from Lochte like they did Feigen.

Hope USA#1 tells them to pound sand.

I'm bemused by the "No, he really was robbed just like he said." thing just because...it's funny. It's also funny to picture a Brazilian judge hearing the gringoes' story of being hijacked and robbed yet walking away with (by their own account) their phones, credentials, and their matching 4 pairs of $1,500 Adidas bejewelled shoes.

It's funny to picture your idea of a Brazilian judge.

Being shook down by either the police or a security guard is obviously different (for them) from being robbed at gunpoint by a 'thief'.

And it's lolgringos let's protect the image of Rio all the way every day for 99.99% of judges in this situation.

It's a fine place to vacation. Just bring an extra $11k with you just to make sure you're allowed to leave.

Is this not different for...everyone?

Mind you they didn't file a police report or give interviews saying, "We were robbed, in a way."

It started out as $50. Lochte managed to negotiate it up to $11k.

Lochte suspended for 10 months. Everyone involved in this thing is dumb.

A couple slapdicks ran out on stage yelling something and security tackled them. Pretty poor effort at disrupting things IMO.

Why don't lolUSA win many medals at the Paralympics?
Are they not as progressive as the rest of the world WRT the disabled?
