The Revolution Will Be Televised
The Houston Press headline on Richard Connolly's blog item says it all:
If You're Going to Falsely Tell Cops a Guy Sexually Assaulted You, Don't Get Caught on Camera Announcing Your Plans
A cell phone video camera may be your best way of proving your lack of guilt -- or others' violation of your rights, in the case of the TSA.
Remember, in some cases, you're going to be assumed guilty until proven innocent. Hit "record" whenever you think there's a question (but check your state's laws on what can be recorded without turning preventing the crime of false accusation by another into a crime by you).
Of course, the result of revealing that you've committed a crime by secretly recording somebody is probably going to be preferable to sitting in jail on rape charges. Sad that it comes down to that.

It must be a ruse. I'm assured by NOW that women don't lie about these things, you know.

Was the complaint being filed by a relative of Paris or Sooki?

Unless you are willing to gal up arms and draw blood, drop the revolution rhetoric please, you just appeal to blowhard pussies

> you just appeal to blowhard pussies
Ever feel a gentle afternoon breeze on your cheek after a cleansing springtime rainshower? Ever have a kitten curl into your lap in a (surprise, unearned) gesture of stunning interspecies trust? Ever park on a desert road —or glance up from an ocean voyage— to see the midnight Milky Way splashed across the Heavens, laughing at you in both punishing mockery and sheltering sympathy?
Ever kiss a pretty girl or eat a good meal?
Exactly how pissed off are you, Ronc?
Also, pluck a guitar sometime.

Wish I could have seen the video. That deserves to go viral.

Crid, I am a bit cranky about how far my beloved country has fallen, and I do not like the term revolution thrown around by people because of the tsa. There are much larger issues in play here, such as the left's continuous war on the middle class. By the way, I have four dogs and one cat, so try again please

Well, that's you then. *I* would never lose my (anonymous) temper at other commenters here... And people know that. It's why they open up to me in a spirit of trust, admiration and conciliation.

What I want to know is how many innocent men are sitting in jail now or have otherwise had their lives/careers ruined because they didn't happen to make video recordings.
"It must be a ruse. I'm assured by NOW that women don't lie about these things, you know"
Yes, now that you mention it, I was actually also taught throughout my education that men are evil dogs and that women are uber-pure loving caring saints who can do no wrong. Clearly there must be more to this story.
