[lbo-talk] did Craig commit a crime?

> Assuming the disorderly conduct statute 
is constitutional, wouldn't the kind of 
behavior described in the police report 
qualify as that which one would  have 
"reasonable grounds to know that it will, 
or will tend to, alarm, anger or disturb 
others"?

It would only disturb others if they are 
sexually insecure and nobody has a way of 
divining that ahead of time.

Should I have every female who has ever 
hit on me arrested for disturbing me?

There is no crime here, but nobody can say 
it since to do so would to be legitimize 
same-sex relations.  If wanting to engage 
in sexual activities with a member of one's 
own sex is valid, then there is nothing 
wrong with what Craig did.  Hets cruise 
each other all the time in public spaces 
and I do not see them being arrested no 
matter how flagrant their behavior becomes.
