Bradenton Times News Articles
Sunday, May 25, 2014
On Thursday, Russia and China vetoed a UN resolution to refer the Syrian conflict to the International Criminal Court for investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the country's civil war, which has now been raging for three years. This is just the latest in an ongoing deadlock among world powers who all have a role in failing to meaningfully address the crisis.more»

The Manatee County School District has been a lightning rod for criticism and controversy for the better part of the last four years. Despite an impressive economic turnaround under its new leadership, the bad news keeps coming, as more past misdeeds come to light. However, despite bump after bump in the rocky road, the district will soon have its first budget with a positive balance in the last four years, and there are still plenty of good things happening in our schools. Under the circumstances, that seems like a pretty good record.

I understand the political reasons to keep drumming up the Benghazi incident – or even the commercial reasons for certain news as entertainment outlets who pander to the same political target audience. It seems pretty clear that Obamacare will not be the red herring this November that GOP strategists had hoped, and Benghazi is a twofer in that it also takes aim at the presumed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. What I don't understand is the straight face worn by regular Joes and Janes who claim to be so incensed by the scandal, even though they shrugged off things that occurred up to and after the other 9/11, incidents far worse than even what is being claimed to have happened two years ago in Libya.more»

As a direct descendant of Josiah Gates, I am highly offended by the actions of Bradenton Mayor Wayne Poston regarding the lands that were donated to Reflections of Manatee for historic preservation. If the title was in my name, they would really have a fight on their hands.more»

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has a big problem in Manatee County. It is responsible for a former phosphate mining operation that went bankrupt and left behind a toxic mess that only gets worse by the day. One effort to contain the hazard already proved disastrous. Now, they would like to build a Class I injection well and pump the problem deep into the Floridan aquifer, a process that it claims is safe and will not impact drinking or agricultural irrigation water. Manatee County Utilities is on board and has proposed that the county spend more than $20 million to build the well. For obvious reasons, many people in Manatee County are about as comfortable with this idea as elective brain surgery. I can't say I blame them.more»

Reflections of Manatee, Inc. is a not-for-profit focused on preserving a very historical area along the Manatee River. Their dedication to this is admirable. Scraping together resources, they have done what most people thought to be impossible: preserve a piece of old Florida and what could be the most historically significant piece of Bradenton's beginnings. However, now they have to fight their own city, which is suing them to undo the transfer of property it approved under the oversight of Mayor Bill Evers. The suit, initiated by current Mayor Wayne Poston, seems a senseless waste of city resources and precious tax dollars.more»

I'd like to thank Sheriff Steube for speaking out against marijuana at the recent Supper with the Sheriff event. The pro pot lobby doesn't like our Sheriff educating our community.

I grew up as the only little boy in a house of many girls. My father and I were always heavily outnumbered, sharing a three-bedroom duplex with as many as six females. That's a lot of estrogen in very tight corners, and I'd be lying if I said there weren't days when I fantasized about having been born an only child. But those little girls grew up to be some of the finest mothers I've had the pleasure to know. It's an honor to bid them a Happy Mother's Day.more»

At least one Manatee County Commissioner came to Tuesday's meeting fully prepared to stroke a $200,000 taxpayer check to fund a somewhat incoherent plan to "study" indigent health care options, now that the county has basically sat on its hands for the past year since it tried to sneak through a poorly-conceived health care sales tax in an effort to maintain an inefficient status quo. Fortunately, at least a majority of the rest had the sense not to follow Commissioner Bustle down that road.more»

With real wages adjusted for inflation flat since the early 1970's, there's long been talk of America's shrinking middle-class. Still, it came as a shock to most when a New York Times analysis recently showed that America – long the preeminent middle-class society in the world – had actually fallen behind our neighbors to the north. To understand why upward mobility is becoming less achievable in the land of the free, we need to look beyond the politics and ideologies to the realities of the 21st century.more»

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The Southeastern Conference Presidents and Chancellors, acting unanimously, announced today that the University of Missouri will join the Southeastern Conference effective July 1, 2012, with competition to begin in all sports for the 2012-13 academic year.
The addition of Missouri will increase SEC membership to 14 institutions. The additions of Texas A&M, announced on September 25, 2011, and Missouri, are the first expansions for the SEC since September of 1991 when the University of South Carolina joined the league. The University of Arkansas joined the SEC in August of 1991. With the addition of Arkansas and South Carolina, the SEC was the first conference to split into divisions and add a conference championship game in 1992.
"The Presidents and Chancellors of the Southeastern Conference are pleased to welcome the University of Missouri to the SEC," said Dr. Bernie Machen, President of the SEC Presidents and Chancellors and president of the University of Florida. "The University of Missouri is a prestigious academic institution with a strong athletic tradition and a culture similar to our current institutions."
"The Southeastern Conference is a highly successful, stable, premier athletic conference that offers exciting opportunities for the University of Missouri," said Chancellor Brady J. Deaton. "In joining the SEC, MU partners with universities distinguished for their academic programs and their emphasis on student success. The SEC will provide our student-athletes with top flight competition and unparalleled visibility. We came to this decision after careful consideration of the long term best interests of our university. We believe the Southeastern Conference is an outstanding home for the Mizzou Tigers, and we take great pride in our association with this distinguished league."
Missouri, located in Columbia, will also be the fourth institution in the Southeastern Conference to hold membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities, joining University of Florida, Texas A&M University and Vanderbilt University. Missouri has an enrollment of 33,800 students, which would be the fourth largest institution in the SEC, with Florida, Georgia and Texas A&M having a larger student body. There are more than 260,000 "Mizzou" alumni around the world. The State of Missouri borders three SEC states: Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas, and they bring an existing rivalry with former conference foe Texas A&M.
Missouri athletic teams have excelled recently. Its men's basketball team has made it to the NCAA Tournament three straight seasons and 24 times overall. The Tiger football team has been to post-season bowl games for six straight years and 28 times overall. The softball team has participated in the College World Series each of the last three seasons. The Tigers have won Big 12 Championships in men's basketball, soccer and softball.
"I am pleased to officially welcome the University of Missouri to the SEC family on behalf of our presidents, chancellors, athletics directors, students and fans," said SEC Commissioner Mike Slive. "Missouri is an outstanding academic institution with a strong athletic program. We look forward to having the Tigers compete in our league starting in 2012."
The Tigers sponsor 20 varsity sports. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, football, golf, swimming and diving, wrestling, indoor and outdoor track and field and cross country. Women's sports include basketball, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field and cross country and volleyball. Missouri participates in every sport sponsored by the SEC except men's tennis and the SEC sponsors every sport the Tigers participate in except wrestling.
[MEDIA AVAILABILITY: A celebration/press conference featuring President of the SEC Presidents and Chancellors Dr. Bernie Machen, Missouri Chancellor Brady J. Deaton, Mizzou Athletic Director Mike Alden and SEC Commissioner Mike Slive will be held on Sunday, Nov. 6, at 4:30 p.m. CT in the MU Student Center at the corner of Hitt and Rollins Sts. on the campus. For additional information on this event, please contact the MU News Bureau at 573-228-0885 or Chad Moller at 573-882-0712.

There was an interesting tidbit about scheduled sex versus spontaneous sex in an article on the usually tongue-in-cheek Cracked.com:
(Read more:
|Wed, 06-08-2011 - 11:17am
...I haven't read the article...but, if we did not schedule our sex, we wouldn't have it...we are so busy so that we have to make a priority sceduling...which is why we have it every day, in the early morning before we get up...we also have it at unscheduled period...like yesterday afternoon when both boys were on the other side of the lake...I wonder how sporadic is sporadic in a bad sense...
|Wed, 06-08-2011 - 11:44am
Z, ....I think they are referring to a regular schedule of sex rather than hit and miss.
|Thu, 06-09-2011 - 4:47pm
I like scheduled sex, I like to look forward to it, less guessing, can get excited & have a pay off.
Dating is full of scheduled sex, you're more likely to have dates on Friday or Saturday & ... then have the sex.
People get into relationships, start seeing each other more often, or married & seeing all day long ... & then seem to think spontaneous is the holy grail.
|Thu, 06-09-2011 - 5:16pm
...never thought of it that way tulips...you're right...most of us put a great deal of energy into scheduling sex and romance when we're dating and then, later...when it comes to married sex...some of us act as though scheduled sex is boring...
|Thu, 06-09-2011 - 5:21pm
The flip side of that is that some folks get married and feel like they can take sex for granted, like it's "on tap" and they never have to go out of their way to "cultivate" it. Sex when I'm not living with someone full time is way better for me than when I am. I haven't figured out how to level that playing field.

...I love you Hold...in a non-stalking cyber kind of way...but, death is only less stressful for the dead...if you love anyone on the face of the earth and consider their feelings in your day to day life...know that you death (especially one that you cause...on purpose) will be so stressful for them...for years and years and years...you will compound their stress...

Sex when I'm not living with someone fulltime is way better for me than when I am. I haven't figured out how to level that playing field.
|Fri, 06-10-2011 - 9:22am
Tried, unsuccessfully. I don't think it's "separate" enough. I think living with someone "part time" would probably be ideal for me, but I don't know of a man alive who would be willing to do that. I can see enjoying 3 or 4 days a week in the same house, and 3 or 4 days separate. Sooner or later it seems that ALL relationships come to that point where they have to "take the next step" and be together full time. I don't think I'm really cut out for it, oh well...it's my lot.

United Bank Card changed its name to market new products and services but kept its focus on customer service, leaving no customer behind
United Bank Card was founded in 1999 as a traditional credit card processing company. In 2007, the company entered the point-of-sale system market with the launch of their full-featured, touch-screen Harbortouch POS system. In 2011, Harbortouch began offering this high-quality POS system with no up-front costs as part of its revolutionary "free" equipment program. The company saw tremendous demand for the Harbortouch POS system and it became increasingly central to their operations. The Harbortouch POS system quickly became the company's flagship product offering. At the beginning of 2012, United Bank Card officially changed its name to Harbortouch to reflect the company's focus on their POS systems. The name change also highlighted their transition to a more technology-oriented, forward-thinking company. Although the company changed its name, Harbortouch still maintained the same management, employees and focus on customer service. Harbortouch continues to put their customers first, realizing that exceptional customer service is just as important as competitive pricing and innovative products.
" The only kind of business that will make the kind of commitment that HarborTouch has, .. is the kind of business consumers can definitely trust. If there were more businesses that had the same thinking as HarborTouch, just imagine, there would not be as much of a demand for consumers to use Ripoff Report" – ED Magedson – Founder, Ripoff Report
The information provided in this report is based on comments made by CEO Jared Isaacman during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Harbortouch United Bank Card.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
Harbortouch was started as United Bank card in 1999 as a basic credit card processing service. They are aiming to move to a full service model, touch screen point of sales system at a low service cost to small or midsize business. The vision is to expand to the mobile device for on the go payment.
Their main sources of sales are geared towards small to midsize merchants. Their main sales are done by independent contractors or sales representatives under Harbortouch. These contractors have certain requirements that they must abide by in regards to credit card regulations. They represent Harbortouch and their products and services assist with the completion of paperwork, but Harbortouch does all of the underwriting and approval of applicants. From that point Harbortouch provides all of the services to the merchant. The independent contractor functions as the onsite representative between the company and merchant.
During the onsite interview CEO Jared Isaacman was asked to discuss what types of complaints their company receives and what is being done to resolve these issues: "The most common complaint that has occurred has to do with not having strict control over the independent contractors because they are not direct employees over the company. There is a wildcard factor with sales being made by the independent sales staff due to different variations of compliance with regulation and quality of service. Going from the credit card terminal to the point of sales, which is basically a computer system, is more complex. Merchants have an expectation of the program working a certain way or having different functions and sometimes a merchant will feel like the independent contractor oversold the program."
"Mr. Isaacman was then asked to describe a specific situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received: "Once an order has been placed with Harbortouch they may have been oversold on the product or feel that there has been a miscommunication on the sale. Once the order has been received, the account gets assigned to an Order Administrator to walk the merchant through the process from then on. If any miscommunication or over sell on the product occurred, this is where it would be worked out. For the most part, Harbortouch will try to accommodate the merchant within reason. Once the order has been shipped, the company's tech will install the POS system and the merchant must sign off on the installation."

The merchant has access to 24/7 tech support on site, weekly webinars, newsletters, ongoing training sessions, support material, additional training DVD's, and independent contractor functions that serve as a resource for support to the merchant.
If there is an issue where a customer feels as though they have been misled or paid fees that they did not authorize, they are encouraged to contact Harbortouch's customer service department, and if the fee was inaccurate, it will be refunded to the merchant. Their fees do increase twice a year, but this is fully outlined and explained in their contract agreement.
Since complaints were made on Ripoff Report their company has made direct changes to the way they handle independent sales. They hold their representatives accountable for how they present themselves and their program. They have started a certification program for sales representatives which insures that they are fully educated on the products that they will be selling and representing. This increases the quality of the sales representatives and instills professionalism. They are also working on refining their order administration process.
In a leadership role within the company, Mr. Isaacman has instituted many changes in various areas in order to make the customer happy. They have hired a quality control manager, started an in house newsletter, expanded the office to include onsite training for employees, and implemented ongoing reconstruction within departments to better service customers.
Harbortouch is pleased to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. They believe that taking part in this process reiterates their commitment to their customers and adds credibility to their services and business, while demonstrating their dedication to their customers.

United Bank Card, Inc. Big Company Scams Little shop owners out of lots of money Clinton New JerseyI am a small business owner that was solicited by United Bank Card, Inc in Feb. of 2007. The proposal, all done by email, looked great and was going to save my small business money. After asking the sales associate, Fancy, about any hidden fees, equipment fees, etc we went with them.
By June of 2007 I was calling and questioning the fees that we were being charged. They were not what was quoted or put in the email from Fancy. Of course Fancy was no longer there and available to rectify the situation. We were then charged a $99.00 fee considered an annual fee per customer service reps.
I bickered back and forth with them and to no avail they continued to take charges from us that were "HIDDEN" from us.
This went on until December 08'. At this time there was a $79.00 fee from our account and again no bill or statement as usual to clarify what the fee was taken for. When I called customer service I was told that it was an "EARLY TERMINATION FEE".. I questioned why as we had not cancelled our service with them and the rep told me that is what they do.
Next we faxed an cancellation notice, which was sent to us by one of the customer service reps. Of course they did not receive it as we had money taken from our account again, although we had not processed anything. I called our bank and they opened an investigation and UBC immediately put the monies back into our account.
I then received a phone call from them telling us the account is past due. I explain that we faxed the form over and I am told they never received it. I spoke to "Michael" and he said fax it again directly to my desk. Two days later I get a call that we are past due. I explain once again that we faxed a cancellation notice and gave the fax number. Wow, now Michael no longers works there.
Now it is the end of May, I receive a call that we are past due and I explain how they violated their terms from the first email and that they have taken monies not owed to them and how they cancelled us. Now I am told it was a $79.00 annual fee not a cancellation fee. Regardless I told them we had closed the account, faxed over a cancellation notice three times and wanted nothing else to do with them.
Today I receive a notice of collections from Transworld Systems, Inc giving me 5 days to "honor my debt" or it will result in continued collection activity!
They took money for all services rendered through the time we used them and somehow now they want $444.20 for a bill that was originally $40.70.
This is amazing to me how this company is still in business. Something needs to change, after all we are paying these fools.

Of course, to change the incorrect term War through grassroots would be interesting. I suppose starting with blogs and alternative medias to start coining the phrases differently in place of the incorrect term of War.

Faith: Thanks, sugar daddy!
The Mayor: Faith, I don't find that sort of thing amusing, I'm a family man. Now, let's kill your little friend.Some villains have standards. They might have no problem gunning cops down in cold blood, but they aren't going to do anything to children. Or they might be willing to blow up a city for a holy cause, but not for money. Somewhere they have to draw the line - because, if that line doesn't exist, good and evil cease to have any meaning at all. And for a handful of villains, that line is, "Anything the Brady kids learned An Aesop about." Yes, these are bad guys who believe in good old fashioned family values. Being a kingpin in the international drug trade might be fine, but giving alcohol to minors, most certainly not! It's their duty as a loyal citizen to show respect and admiration for the local police, but nothing says they can't do that and bribe the cops into murdering their enemies. And, of course, sexual intercourse outside of marriage is strictly prohibited ... unless it's non-consensual, then they can just go wild. Not all examples of this trope are as self-contradictory as the ones above, though. In some cases, promoting family values may be the reason the villain is doing all these horrible things, making them a Knight Templar. And in other cases, the family (wo)man routine might simply be an act, designed to ensure that they remain a Villain with Good Publicity. A third case might be that they display acute symptoms of Moral Myopia, putting "family" and "everyone else" into two completely different categories as far as the standards of moral behavior are concerned. But then again, some just don't seem to see anything odd about speaking an arcane ritual to summon horrific demons into the mortal plane, then lecture some kids about saying "darn" instead of "damn." note Needless to say, the trope carries its own dose of Unfortunate Implications, especially in a society that is still learning to accept non traditional gender roles and relationships. When used badly, it could lead to the conclusion that supporting family values is a bad thing. Unless that is the author's actual intention. Compare Straight Edge Evil, Evil Virtues, and Churchgoing Villain. Contrast with Moral Dissonance or Values Dissonance, where an ostensibly family-friendly character can unintentionally appear villainous to some.

Banjo the Bear
The hero of the games, Banjo is a gullible, lazy being who, unless forced to go on an adventure, is usually just laying around Spiral Mountain, sleeping, eating, or playing video games.
Kazooie the Breegull
Banjo's snarky, mean-spirited sidekick. Most of the time, she resides in Banjo's backpack, although Tooie finally allows her to trek outside of it.
Mumbo Jumbo the Shaman
The former mentor of Gruntilda the Witch until he turned his back on her, prompting her to magically trap Mumbo's face inside of a wooden mask. In the first game, he helps out Banjo and Kazooie by providing transformation spells in exchange for Mumbo Tokens. In Tooie, he takes a more active role, allowing you to play as him and use spells in certain locations. In Nuts and Bolts, he's taken up a job as a garage mechanic.
Bottles the Short-Sighted Mole
The mentor of Banjo and Kazooie in the first game. Throughout the game, he pops up via molehills, providing new abilities to help them beat Gruntilda. In the opening of the second game, he is killed by Gruntilda when she destroys Banjo's house, prompting Banjo to get revenge on Grunty—although he is revived in the end of the game. He has a minor role in Nuts and Bolts.
Humba Wumba
Gruntilda Winkybunion
The villain of the series.
Banjo's younger sister, who was kidnapped by Gruntilda in the first game due to her being "the fairest in the land", so that Grunty could swap her ugliness for Tooty's beauty. Despite being the entire reason the enmity between Banjo and Gruntilda even began, she doesn't make any appearances outside the original game, save for a cameo in Tooie where she's seen on a milk carton.
The Igor-esque right hand monster of Grunty in the first game. He had a minor role in the first game, but was presented as a loyal, competent sidekick to Grunty. This gets thrown right out the window in Tooie, making him a minor boss character who gets physically worse and worse as you meet him in the game, due to his beatings from Grunty. Afterwards, he left to become a video game designer.

DENVER (AP) -- A western Colorado family that believed oil and gas drilling activities contaminated their drinking water and air and forced them from their home will be allowed to proceed with a lawsuit thanks to a successful appeal.
The Glenwood Springs Post-Independent reports Friday that Bill and Beth Strudley will be allowed to proceed with a 2011 lawsuit they filed against the Denver-based Antero Resources gas drilling company.
A decision by Denver Appeals Court Judge Ann B. Frick said that the Strudleys' lawsuit was wrongly dismissed by a lower court last year. That court said the Strudleys hadn't provided enough evidence to support their case.
Frick's order sends the case back to the trial court, unless the companies decide to appeal the decision to the Colorado Supreme Court.

Majority of tie-in literature bad?
I.E. about a million apocalyptic borg invasions, genesis waves, et al, that leave the quadrant looking much the same afterward, and are often thwarted by a handful of people. Thats kinda the definition of 'fanwank'. I guess we can blame Voyager for turning the borg from a seldom-used terror device, into an everyday disturbance.
Although I hear the latest USS Aventine novels have changed that tendancy a bit, and the new MMO is making the galaxy a bit different - the Pocketbooks Trek novel universe kinda has a reputation in my mind as not evolving naturally, and often pushing internal believability within the setting, by repeatedly having a small set of people 'save the galaxy'.
Maybe Star Trek lit should be a bit tighter directed?
Maybe it should aim to be more like non tie-in science fiction lit?

It's true that there has been a tendency to overuse the big, galaxy-shaking crises over the past decade, but I kind of think Destiny is going to be the final word on that for a while, since how do you top it?

Re: Majority of tie-in literature bad?
Others have beaten me to this point, but there was only a single apocalyptic Borg invasion, there won't be another (that much is pretty much certain) and the consequences and aftermath have been dealt with by several novels with an entire series in 2010 built out of one of the developments.
As for believability, I've heard many people at one point or another compain that "it's always one major crisis after another in Star Trek", as though this is unbelievable. I have never understood this argument. Look at real life: there is always a crisis or three brewing on this planet. If one nation hasn't suffered a major earthquake or tsunami, then another has a deadly epidemic or there's a war brewing between another two nations. There'll be coups and famines and civil wars and genocides and floods, all legitimately considered major crises. This is only one planet. If in reality one planet can be such a constant source of problems, why would an entire galaxy be any different? If anything, it's more believable that Starfleet spends a great deal of time zipping around putting out fires.

Re: Majority of tie-in literature bad?
@Deranged - I respect any author, but I have read tie in fiction for years, mainly Star Trek, but also some Star Wars, etc, and I notaced that pattern. I havent read the latest Destiny books, but the synopsis and talk about them, suggests that they are similar. Part of my reason for creating this thread, is to try to determine whether they are worth getting. So far, I havent heard any compelling reasons.
Its a pity part of my post got deleted, because one of the things I asked there was specific to the post Destiny novels i.e. (spoiler tags didn't work for some reason).

Re: Majority of tie-in literature bad?
Trust me . . . a year ago, I probably would have agreed with you. I mean, outside of the DS9 Relaunch and The Lost Era, I wasnt exactly thrilled with Trek Lit. But then I read Destiny and it's made me want to re-read a lot of books and has me actually EXCITED to go back and read what I earlier dismissed.
Read "Destiny." It's genius.

My favorite series are Lost Era and IKS Gorkon, although Ive read a lot of other stuff, like Genesis Wave, Vanguard, Section 31, Errand of Vengence, Errand of Fury, Vulcan's Heart and various other books, some of which disappointed me somewhat. The comics have been pretty good - the quality of tie in comics for Star Wars and Star Trek suprises me. KRAD is my favorite author.

The Art of Smarter Wealth Management (PART 1)
Investing in art doesn't have to be about having a frivolous investment portfolio. It may be a smarter move than placing your wealth in stocks and bonds, says Randall Willette
April 12, 2011 12:42 by shafeer
- The second strategy is pursued by those leading art dealers and auction houses that seek superior short-term returns. Transactions of this nature are considered propositions with increased risks and rewards and often involve the creation of trading opportunities that allow investors to buy and sell works quickly, so they can achieve an immediate return.
The process of determining where assets should be allocated include a thorough assessment of art market conditions, global economic conditions, the availability of attractive investment opportunities, and suitability of investments to the risk/return profile of the investor.
The last few years have seen the development of art price indices that have aided the comparison of art to other assets such as equities, bonds and gold. The MeiMoses All Art Index and Art Market Research are among the most widely quoted. Both are reliant on data from the sales at the main auction houses, due to an absence of data from the dealer market and private sales.
Investors must make themselves familiar with the risks associated with the purchase of individual works. These include questions of authenticity, title, condition and provenance. Expert advice from both the commercial and academic art world is often required and experts' credentials should include membership of officially approved associations; vetting committees for major international art fairs; and their acting as consultants to major museums and collectors.

Excellent points made here, especially in regards to the art indices. It can be a challenge to get information about private sale transactions and so many investors end up making decisions based on auction results only which is a skewed version of the real value of a work.

Well I guess the best way to start this is from the beginning. On my walk from work to the train, which is about 4 city blocks, I came across a man sitting on the ground staring very intently at every woman who walked by. After a double take and further investigation, I noticed the man sitting on the ground, in front of the Starbucks bay window, was furiously masturbating under his t-shirt.
To avoid any and all contact with the man, I approached a group of women and asked them to call the local police because my phone is an out of state number and wouldn't call Seattle police. After explaining to them why they should call the police, one of the women laughed, replying,"Sorry you had to see that, sweetheart, but the police won't do anything about it." About 30 yards away from the man I spotted a cop and explained to him the situation. He cut me off mid sentence and continued on his way.
Whether or not the man was apprehended or if the cop made it to the man before ejaculation is unknown. But what is absolutely astounding to me is the complete and utter disregard for something so disgusting. It was lucky that no children were in the immediate vicinity, or I would have had to do something to stop it.
The man featured in this photo exposed and fondled his penis in front of me on a Queens-bound N train around 8:20pm on Saturday, 14 June. I yelled at him loud enough for the rest of the passengers to hear, announcing that I was taking a photo of him for the police. He quickly returned to "reading his book" and hustled off the the train at the next stop. Police action still TBD.
Man at airport drop off was drunk, grabbing his genitals, and hit on me with invasive and inappropriate questions. Attempted to open my car while I wasn't in it. Airport security responded very quickly and took him away.
At around 8:30 am while waiting for the downtown J train at Bowery I was followed and watched by a man who began masturbating. He stood about 20 feet away from me on the same platform. He looked right into my eyes. Thankfully, my train arrived soon after. I called 311 but was on the line for 15 minutes with no response so I gave up. Unfortunately, I was too shocked and disgusted to give this sexist pig a big FUCK YOU. Thank you, you fucking jerkoff, for ruining my Saturday.
A man stalked me around the front of King Soopers when my car broke down around 3am. I was in the lobby calling anyone I could think of who was awake to try and help me, when he sat on the bench next to to where I was standing and started masturbating. After ignoring him and walking across the lobby, he followed me and asked if I would like to have sex in the bathroom. All of this was on camera – after complaining to night manager, no action taken. The man left after I faked a 911 call!
While delivering pizza I went to an address where the man refused to come outside saying I would need to meet him in the hallway.
Upon transaction through doorway the man said I needed to return with change (.08 cents) upon returning with the change the man was wearing only boxers with erection.
As I use my personal cellphone to contact customers he proceeded to call my phone twice with heavy breathing/groaning before I figured out how to block numbers.
I work at Target, and one evening we had a man come into the store, head straight into the women's department, lay down on the floor, and start masturbating. He was partly hidden behind the clothes, but a guest saw him and ran and told a manager. It was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
I ran down the stairs to catch the train at Forest Hills and as I rushed down, I noticed a man standing on the platform, alone, not getting on the train. In the few seconds before I got onto the train, I found it really strange that the man was just standing there. At first, I assumed he was waiting for another train or maybe waiting for someone else but as I turned to see him, his fly was unzipped and his junk for people to see. I just glared at him and as the train left he smiled like an ass. In that moment, I feel like my mind didn't function. I should have given him my finger as the train doors closed or said something.
Did no one else notice him?
Not sure if this counts as street harassment as I was in my house when I happened… At about 11pm one night I heard this unnerving shuffling outside my lounge window…And when I turned on the outside light I saw a shadow on the curtains.
Lucky I still live at home and my brother was still up… I looked out my bedroom window to find some guy standing in the street… Fiddling away… Cops were called but he was gone long before they arrived. Can't even feel safe in my own house.
I was on the tube when I noticed a man eyeing me up, he was attractive so I didn't mind. I got off the tube and noticed him following me. Later I noticed him playing with himself from afar. I walked faster until I couldn't see him anymore but not being familiar with the area meant that he had cornered me to say "stop teasing me."
I heard a lady asking if I knew this man. I told her "no" and watched her expertly tell him to leave me alone and said she was not going to let him get away with this harassment and saw him run away with fear as she stood her ground.
Funnily enough I already knew of Ana Maddock. I knew she was well educated, had a career she kept private from her online life, she was friends with a semi-famous crowd. I already wanted to be like her before she saved me. She saved a complete stranger from being harassed and went on with her day to day life and I think that's astonishing.
Thank you Ana Karina Maddock.
You did what I could only dream of doing.
