"The Man Who Slapped a Female Reporter’s Butt on TV is a Christian Youth Leader"

[PoetPhilosopher]

I feel we still don't know every side of it. For all we know, the woman might be a feminist who wants to make a statement by prosecuting a male for his immature, though still not lawful, behavior.

But...if a woman does that to a man...
Is it okay, right?


I am talking about double standards here...
Would a woman be vilified likewise?

Let's ask the man specifically and men in general what they think...

That's how a woman would go about this.

I've had my butt grabbed once when I was in junior high school (aka middle school). It was shocking, embarrassing and a little flattering. That's my two cents.

I'd love to have my butt grabbed by a woman. Though, I would hope she doesn't get scared afterwards and take off running, as I might want to chat it up.

So yeah, I'm not above the animal kingdom. There is a certain attractiveness to a woman putting their arm around you and saying "I pick you and you're mine".

Considering the abundance of sexually abusive religious leaders is anyone surprised? Of course not.

"Over the weekend, during the Savannah Bridge Run 10K in Georgia, a local TV anchor was discussing the race when the live camera caught one of the joggers slapping her [butt] as he ran by. The footage went viral both because of the shocked reaction on her face and the disturbing fact that the culprit, whoever it was, seemed to touch her so casually. Like it was a normal thing to do.

​

It didn’t take long for the internet to figure out who the man was. Through the images available and his racing number, the man’s identity was quickly discovered. And wouldn’t you know it, he’s a Christian youth leader.

Tommy Callaway of Pittman Park United Methodist Church has since been banned from all future Savannah Sports Council races. He fessed up to the actions, though his lawyer’s statement needs a lot of work.

While we regret the situation, Mr. Callaway did not act with any criminal intentions. Tommy is a loving husband and father who is very active in his community. We have been in touch with WSAV and representatives for Ms. Alex Bozarjian, as well as members of Savannah law enforcement. We do not expect any criminal charges to arise from this incident, and we are working with those involved to correct the situation.
​

Sure. Loving husband. Devoted father. Christian leader. And the sort of ******* who slaps random women on the butt because it’s just hilarious."

It's almost as if such deviants are part and parcel of religion. The Christian religion anyway.

Most, if not all serial killers have been atheists. It is almost as if such deviants are part and parcel of atheism. American atheism, anyway.

What was obvious to myself is the woman was standing in the way of the runners and their path. I believe the other runners before hand had really tried to give the hint and eventually someone nailed it on the head. A slap on the bottom is better than being pushed over by an exhausted runner. She should have stood outside the path of runners. The woman was causing an obstruction to the runners I wonder if a woman had slapped her butt, would she still be complaining? Some people take things too far.

Very interesting point. Reporters in general are obnoxious when it comes to presenting their stories. TV reporters believe they have the right to do as they choose when it comes to what they do.. Their vans park in red zones, they push their way into areas they know they shouldn't be, they pepper people with questions when they have been told no more information is available.

Most people know this to a greater or lesser degree. I would be willing to bet even the OP knows this.

However, the purpose of the post was to degrade Christianity, as virtually all of the OP's posts are, not look at all the facts surrounding the incident.

I think your observation is correct. She was in the way, and a pop on the butt reiterated this. The runner didn't go off course into the crowd to get to her, she was standing right in the way.

LoL...
Btw....I am totally sure the guy did understand his fault, because he apologized.

But the faithful own the terrorists, eg, 9/11, Paul Jennings Hill.
Oh, did I mention Hitler? ("Gott mit uns" & all that.)
I have a theory...
One's religious orientation matters little in determining who will be dangerously violent.
It's about the individual's mind.
I blame the brain. Those things are dangerous in the wrong hands.

I agree. My point was satire at the expense of our Christian hating friend.

Osama Bin Laden purposefully chose recruits Saudi Arabian, America's closest middle east ally . I think its a little late for them, atheist or whatever you like talking about. I bet he's not youth ministering. I know you were worried about it.

Then the soldiers cast lots and bets for his clothes, and shoved a spear in him, then put cocaine on his head and a little girl panties, like religion is going to fall down.

Aye, some of those heathens really need to be spanked
(figuratively) lest their sanctimony go unchecked.

I am saying I condemn what he did...
But I do think males are too vilified nowadays for actions that will be excused if they are committed by women.

Vilified? He was seen on camera. There is no doubt he should be censured

And if it was a woman then she too should be censured

There is no excuse for such actions

 

[Estro Felino]

And if it was a woman then she too should be censured

I totally agree

You will be pleased to know that religion in America is dying. And springing from its
ashes is a wonderful new society of mutual respect, stable homes, loving commitment,
more children, old folk becoming central to family life, fewer drugs, less violence, no
porn etc.. It's going to wonderful when John Lennon's Imagine song truly becomes real.

ps this year another 1.8 million men signed on to child porn.

And what was it last year and the year before?

[PureX]

So if a man does that to a woman is not harassment either?

No.

I think this video clarifies everything.

This video makes it 100 times worse. The guy is so obviously lying. "I didn't know where I touched her back while trying to 'wave' at the camera." What a load of absolute crap. Douche-bag in the extreme right here. There is absolutely no way to buy his story unless he's known to completely lack control over his extremities at random moments.

I didn't watch the video, but I think the real issue is... she wants to press charges against him over it. Do we really want to see our tax dollars spent sending him to jail / keeping him there? I think he should be embarrassed, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere not to have every immature person in jail.

Then again, I wouldn't mind my tax dollars being spent to set an example and possible deter other people from being idiots. Maybe I don't wish him some extended jail sentence - public embarrassment, legal fees, and social image destruction are plenty good enough to get a message across to others who know their minds to dabble in the same kind of tomfoolery now and again.

Can you imagine if you could apportion a percentage of your tax money to rid the world of idiots who think they can just take whatever they want, when they want it from other people? That'd be money well spent in my book.

 

[Skwim]

So she stood still on one spot.?

Nope. At one point she appeared to step to her right in the parking area, farther from the running area.

Do you really believe that you can say she never crossed the line?

Of course not, we don't have video of all the time she spent there, but your claim was that ". . . the woman was standing in the way of the runners and their path," and nothing in the video shows her doing so or even suggests as much.

So why post it.

To show you that you're assertion is wrong and that no one should believe it.

Look at the film again all the way through.

Okay, So in the video give me time mark where you see her step into the running area. If anything, quite a few runners ran out of the running area and into the parking area.

I rather doubt it. But so what? If women take it as an offense then it's an offense regardless of how a man would feel in a similar circumstance.

.

I agree this was wrong, even unlawful, but not considering it the same if a woman did the same to a man it is double standard.

Yup, but they're standards each has set for themselves. No one is imposing it on them.
