Larry Craig is a pervert who was arrested for peeping and disorderly conduct

[dpbrown]

Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig was arrested on ‘peeping’ and disorderly conduct charges based on allegations from an undercover police officer who was "investigating allegations of sexual conduct in the public bathroom" at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport.

According to the charges, Senator Craig initially stood outside a bathroom stall occupied by the officer, and then "look through the crack between the stall door and its frame into the stall that Sergeant Karsnia was occupaying," repeatedly "gazing into the stall" over a period of roughly two minutes. Craig allegedly "peered long enough" that the officer could “observe that the Defendant had blue eyes.”

After entering a bathroom stall next to the undercover officer’s, Craig allegedly moved his right foot from his own stall into the officer’s stall where he allegedly “touched Sergeant Karsnia's left foot” Next, the Idaho Senator was accused of swiping his hand under the bathroom stall divider three times with his palm up, moving it back and forth. The officer alleged that he "observed a gold ring" on the ring finder of Craig’s left hand.

Approximately six (6) minutes after he first observed Craig allegedly peeping into his stall, followed by the bathroom stall encounter, the officer reported showed Senator Craig “his police identification under the stall,” and Craig allegedly “exclaimed 'No!'”

As frequently happens in criminal cases, Senator Craig ultimately chose to plead guilty in order to settle the charges. He opted to represent himself (i.e., on a pro se basis), without the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney. In his plea, Craig admitted guilt only to the misdemeanor offense of disorderly conduct, paid $575, and was placed on probation.

According to the language of his guilty plea, Senator Craig voluntarily admitted to “engag in conduct which I knew or should have known tended to arouse alarm or resentment of others, which conduct was physical (versus veral) in nature.”

Significantly, Craig acknowledged that he was not claiming that he was “innocent of the charge to which I am entering a plea of guilty,” and that he "knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently gve up” certain constitutional rights by choosing to plead guilty.

1. maybe he should pay the officer's medical bills

for the hemmoroids he got

[dpbrown]

2. One thing's for sure - he was cruising a dirty bathroom staring into stall cracks at men

I'm sick of people who are jumping on the bandwagon of "what crime did he commit."

He's a pervert who was sizing up the dicks of men sitting on shitters and he just happened to size up the dick of a cop and got caught.

Not only should he resign from the Senate, but if he tries to fight this charge I hope he has the full set of charges levied against him and loses in court.

3. where've you been all last week?

this horse is already been beaten to death- twice:hangover:

6. There are still people beating the "he shouldn't resign" horse

So this is still, obviously, relevant.

4. Larry Craig is a gay

republican, who because of his party's wide anti-gay stance, feels compelled to seek sexual gratification in men's toilets instead of openly embracing his homosexuality and telling anyone who has a problem with it to eff off.

By not doing so, Larry Craig is a hypocrite, just like everyone else in the republican party.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this. Keep up the good fight, Larry. hahahaha!

5. we'll be needing a pinata

I hope he sticks around a while more

7. I hope he gets absolutely crucified and takes the Republicans down with him

This is the party of Tom DeLay and Jeff Gannon, after all!
