Woman Pulls A Gun - on a flasher

A usually reliable source informs me pepper spray is very effective at discouraging flashers.

So is a pair of hedge clippers.

This is not a pleasant image.

Her name is not being released because she is a "victim of a sex crime". Presumably that sex crime would be sexual assault. From a Texas point of view, a person has the right to use deadly force to prevent a sexual assault. So she would be justified in drawing. My un-lawyered opinion & worth every bit you paid for it.

I don't know about Washington, but I'm pretty sure specific physical contact is a required element of sexual assault in Texas. It looks like his actions would be Indecent Exposure here, or maybe Public Lewdness if the prosecutor pushed the envelope.

I know that it is often the case on this forum to debate the finer points of penal code when discussing some crime that has occurred, especially when a firearm is used in a defensive manner. However, whatever happened to the disgusting specimen of a human being who "displayed" himself in that story, I do not care to discuss this in a manner that gives him the benefit of the doubt at all. My ability to have any sympathy for these sorts of people has diminished to a near-zero level.

Umm, how 'bout the kid who got a $2,500 fine/ticket for peeing in his yard the other day and/or nearly nekid tatooed wimmen out in public dressed to titillate? Exposure is exposure....or is it not?

Why are you comparing apples to oranges? I'm pretty certain you can see a difference in INTENT between your examples and the individual in the original story.

I have no sympathy for people who break into cars but that doesn't mean I'm allowed to shoot them.

What is the intent of the flasher, HP? I've never been flashed, to the best of my memory.

A pretty women who has 90-95% of her body exposed and someone who is in his speedo (not on the beach) should be treated the same. Indecent exposure for some and morally acceptable for others (i.e. in liberal societies) . I would not go further than that and start suggesting what is not under the that skinny black dress...

You're actually going to play that game? Incredible. I'm done with this.

Me too. Flashing is not good.
