barelyprolific:From ABC: But his defense lawyer, Mark Lawrence, argued Buono didn’t violate the laws against invasion of privacy and attempted encouraging child sexual abuse, a child pornography count. The privacy law bans clandestine photography in bathrooms, locker rooms, dressing rooms and tanning booths, but the Target aisle was plainly public, Lawrence said. Upskirt sightings can occur by happenstance, he said, citing a famous photo of Marilyn Monroe with her dress flying up. And that could happen to someone riding up an escalator, taking a spill or exiting a car, he said.”These things are not only seen but video-recorded,” Lawrence said. “It’s incumbent on us as citizens to cover up whatever we don’t want filmed in public places." The privacy law also specifies nudity, and the girl was wearing underwear, Lawrence said.Apparently in my state it is perfectly legal to take upskirt photos of women, or even underage girls, who have the audacity to wear skirts in public. That is the risk we take, and if we don’t want perverts crouching down in store aisles trying to photograph our lady bits, it’s our own damn fault for not wearing pants, because men are well within their legal rights to be fucking creeps. Even if the woman in question is in fact a 13-year-old girl. Scumbag Patrick Buono had the nerve to follow around an underage girl and crouch down to take photos up her skirt. But don’t worry, it’s totally okay! According to Buono’s scumbag lawyer, the nonconsensual photographing of an underage girl’s body is totally the same thing as Marilyn Monroe, a consenting adult, standing over a subway grate for a movie scene. It’s that young girl’s own damn fault for going out in public while having a vagina. It’s “incumbent” on middle school girls to “cover up” (apparently being fully clothed does not qualify as “covering up”) if they don’t want to be lewdly photographed by fucking perverts who are old enough to be their grandfathers. Had the girl been in a dressing room or a bathroom, then it would have been creepy. But since it was in a public store aisle and the girl was wearing underwear, everything is a-okay. Oh, and don’t worry. Patrick Buono “feels real bad about it.” So if you’re going to be a woman in public in the Portland or Hillsboro area, be sure to avoid this asshole.HOW IS THIS REAL AND NOT AN ONION ARTICLE.THE DAY SHIT LIKE THIS IS RESPONDED TO WITH THE UNIVERSAL DISGUST AND ABHORRENCE IT RIGHTLY DESERVES IS THE DAY I STOP HATING AMERICA WITH EVERY SHRED OF MY HUMANITY. -- source link
