Transit Police report arresting a Malden man on charges he determined the best way to make his point in a political discussion early this morning on a train to Forest Hills was to pull his pants down and show just what a man he is.
Or as Transit Police put it:
The victim, an adult female, who relayed the following information to officers: while travelling on an Orange Line train a male, later identified as James Sacchetti, 30, of Malden, approached the victim and initiated a conversation about the recent Presidential Election. Sacchetti, assuming the victim voted for Secretary Clinton, made reference to that being a poor choice. The victim responded by informing Sacchetti her vote is her personal choice and business. At this time the victim alleged Sacchetti stood up from his seat, unbuckled his belt lowered his pants/underwear and exposed himself to her. Sacchetti then exited the train.
Police arrested him on a charge of open and gross lewdness.
Innocent, etc.
Comments
Friendly passengers
I rarely find strangers in the city willing to talk.
Yeah...
Gross lewdness is right!
He is probably shocked he got
He is probably shocked he got arrested since the guy he voted for has done worse and gotten away with it. I feel bad for women, minorities, gay people etc. These next 4 years are going to be rough. Pathetic Trump voters like this are emboldened by the intolerance and ignorance that Trump has shown for decades now. This is but one example.
No, No, No. Women need to
No, No, No. Women need to stop being so passive and start scaring the shit outta these fucking losers.
By doing WHAT exactly?
By doing WHAT exactly?
Because there's never any
Because there's never any consequences to standing up to men!
It's not that easy
(assuming this comment isn't sarcasm/trolling..?)
"these fucking losers" could very well have a gun, or a knife, or in most cases could physically overpower us. In most cases not resisting (or embarrassing the loser, or whatever else you mean by "scaring" them) has nothing to do with being indifferent toward lewd behavior, and everything to do with having made a calculation and choosing to stay alive/uninjured.
Could of said,
"Hey, it matches the size of your tiny hands!"
He sort of looks like
George Costanza with a beard.
Did she remember to use the MAGIC words?
I hope she remembered to use the magic words shocked and alarmed. Apparantly as of last week this behaviour is AOK on the T as long as people are only disgusted and not shocked and alarmed.
