Man asks do I know you. Says No I dont. Walks away. Files police report

ConfirmedCynic · 1 day

Two things are apparent here. She's already a "victim" according to the report. And the crime was that she "felt threatened".

Can I have the police hunt for people too based on my feelings?

Normally I'd just figure the cops were playing along to shut the chick up, but being as this is a university it's quite possible that if this guy is ever identified he will be kicked out simply on this report.

This is power. This is privilege.

I pray that they find this criminal soon before he causes more child-like irrational behavior in women.

Being able to ask if someone if you recognize them is a great example of cis male privilege. It's time we put a stop to it.

The second victim felt it might be the same person.

So, even if there was a crime (which there wasn't), there are women happy to ID criminal offenders based on "feelings" and possibilities.

globalabortion · 1 day

This is the second one today, mind you. The first clery release I got, a guy bear hugged a girl, then realized he didn't know her, apologized, and left.

While that's quite a bit creepier, I'm not quite sure if it's assault..

Greeceshallriseagain · 1 day

I don't get why you guys are outraged about this.

Clearly this was a penetrative question. How could she not feel violated by the patriarchy?

Infuser · 2012-10-26T09:44:56+00:00

... is described as a white male...

... were African American females...

Anyone else have the thought of, "oh god, black people just all look the same to him..." ?

Bobsutan · 2012-10-26T07:59:46+00:00

Um, victim of what? Being asked a question causes harm now? /feminist logic

Last night I was walking down the hall at school. I had my iPod in ears so I wasn't hearing much around me. Something caught the corner of my eye and I looked to see a girl walking beside me probably less than 2 feet away (bear in mind that the hall was not crowded, as it was night). My eyes widened for a second and I moved a bit so she wouldn't run into me. She said, "Sorry." I said, "It's fine." Then we moved on with our fucking lives.

Boss_Monkey · 2012-10-26T10:02:24+00:00

dungone · 2012-10-26T11:57:36+00:00

So the girl just suddenly stopped in the middle of a staircase... and it surprised her when then guy walking behind her asked, "do I know you?" That guy must have been pretty weirded out.

FurriesRuinEverythin · 2012-10-26T10:03:02+00:00

Oh my god. She was almost raped!

M1s4n7hr0p3 · 2012-10-26T11:48:54+00:00

So asking a woman a question constitutes a verbal assault? I love that they are referred to as "victims" rather than "complainants". No crime has occurred, unless trespassing which the report fails to make mention of. Being creepy is not a crime in and of itself. The fact that there was more than one "victim" hints to me that there is more to the story regarding his mannerisms or there is a high density illogical women who will go out of their way to file a police report for something so inane.

"Victims" rofl. You know, I'm not saying this on behalf of you guys, but I personally wouldn't mind if people like this didn't exist. So ridiculous.

I wouldn't want to be a 6' tall guy with bracers at that university after this was released. Especially trying to talk to people or gasp Female People

Your_Fun_Counselor · 2012-10-26T12:17:06+00:00

She initiated contact with the "suspect" by stopping. Even the most dense realize this.

look how he is raping us with his eyes

jordanreiter · 2012-10-26T14:17:21+00:00

Just want to point out that in the report it says that he got very close to her. It says that she felt threatened.

I'm a man, but there have definitely been times when someone has looked at me in a way that made me feel threatened, so I can definitely identify this feeling. Also, I sometimes get paranoid in parking garages. If I was all by myself and someone walked right up to me I'd be freaked out too.

The point isn't that the man actually did something. The point is that he interacted with her in a way that suggests he doesn't respect boundaries. If this guy feels that it's okay to invade her personal space, maybe he feels it's okay to do other things too?

If this happened to me only the genders were reversed, I would feel like I couldn't go to the police because they wouldn't take it seriously. If you care about gender equality, you should fight for that -- the right for both women's and men's fears to be taken seriously.

obermaster · 1 day

Maybe he should have asked "do I know you?" instead of stating "do I know you." it would have been way less threatening :)

NyoZa · 2012-10-26T10:09:24+00:00

This is soooooo fucking stupid.

Knugent123 · 2012-10-26T12:32:25+00:00

This is plain and simply pathetic.

Canadian4Paul · 2012-10-26T13:13:30+00:00

This is why chivalry is dead. Men can't talk to a woman, let alone hold a door open for one without being seen as threatening or creepy.

9mmCensor · 2012-10-26T13:31:52+00:00

almost raped

DavidByron · 2012-10-26T14:26:00+00:00

So I guess they used to kill black men for looking at white women, and nowadays they want to arrest white men on assault charges for saying hello to black women. I suppose that's some sort of racial advance.

But as for the sexism it's worse now than it ever has been. Who else gets people arrested just for saying hello or a completely normal interaction? Maybe a president or someone else under secret service protection? But I am not sure even then they would be arrested for not even touching them. Not for an interaction completely within normal parameters. Just because the person they are protecting got a funny vibe? But let's say the SS would make an arrest there.

Women are now demanding a privilege level only seen by men if they are world leaders. Is this an isolated incident? Hell no.

Well maybe isolated as far as cops actually taking this seriously, but its something feminists are working towards. The expansion of sexual harassment laws far beyond their initial justification to make any rudeness against a woman into a crime. That alone would just be a throwback to Victorian morality, and there are still laws on the books making it a crime to swear in front of a woman. But the courts throw them out as they come out because the sexism is too obvious. Feminists are now making new laws that say it's OK to arrest men for not being sufficiently respectful of the female presence.

You could see this whole "Elevatorgate" incident as a policy suggestion to make talking to women in public a crime. It is clear that feminists want to see something dreadfully wrong with exactly this sort of scenario. Society has enforced these women's most evil prejudices in the past at the cost of mens lives, and it seems happy to bring the same sort of laws back. They were being eliminated on the grounds of how prejudiced they are, but now feminists want them back with a new seal of approval that this time it's sexist to NOT arrest a man for looking at a woman or saying something to her in public.

DuchessofYanks · 2012-10-26T14:59:59+00:00

Victims? Victims? Nothing happened to them!

Snooves · 2012-10-26T15:25:03+00:00

Soooooooo asking someone a question makes them a victim of "Third degree assault"? That's sickening.

Papasmurf143 · 2012-10-26T13:44:45+00:00

Not only is this horribly offensive in that she makes the assumption that every man that tries to talk to her is an sexual predator or some stupid shit, but calling it a third degree assault makes light of legitimate assault victims.

In short, if he has a decent lawyer, he will have all the charges dropped.

Sprocketlord · 2012-10-26T14:59:41+00:00

Well, he may be able to clear some things up if they find him. More than likely he has no idea he is being investigated. The mention of previous people encountering him in a similar manner are a little weird.

Women are afraid to ask men out because they may experience "slut shaming." Men are afraid to ask women out because they could be arrested for third degree assault.

How I felt reading the report

gazork_chumble_spuzz · 2012-10-26T17:49:11+00:00

How are they victims when all this person did was make them feel uncomfortable? He didn't touch them. He didn't utter any threats. He didn't expose his genitals. He didn't chase them. He did not wave a weapon in their faces. All he did was walk up the stairs and ask "do I know you" while standing close. ?? How is that an assault? How are these women victims? HOW IS THIS A CRIME?

Trenticle · 2012-10-26T14:10:26+00:00

I don't know if I necessarily agree with filing the police report, but something no one is grasping here is why TWO different women filed reports... I'm all for men's rights and anti femnazism but this guy was probably drooling and breathing extremely heavily and just looking creepy as fuck when he asked the girl if he knew her... some of you guys might have been freaked out too... this entire article could really be taken out of context since we have no idea what the guy actually did... just saying yeah he said this one silly line let's back him doesn't mean he wasn't massaging his dick and looking them up and down like he was going to eat them for dinner.

goofproofacorn · 2012-10-26T13:29:45+00:00

Hate to point this out but, african american and female. Really playing up the victim card with this one.
