Correct. He embellished the story a bit. But normally, when someone pulls out a gun and demands money, that is called robbery.awesome guy wrote:http://ijr.com/2016/08/677954-usa-today ... ere-lying/

I'm taking the cwtcr approach here and will say only that shirt like this happens when you act like an idiot in a strange land. Some people deserve to be shaken down.CWHOKIECPA wrote:Correct.

Re: Lochte lied? Not so fast
It's hard to feel sorry for anyone in this story (besides maybe the gas station owner?). Lochte and company were clearly acting like a bunch of entitled athletes and the "security guards" were clearly acting like mob enforcers. We're probably lucky that no one was actually shot or killed. The swimmers were being idiots and the guards were being goons and it seems like both sides have tailored their stories to paint themselves in the best light.

When you travel to a foreign country of dubious safety and legal record, get drunk, pee on the outside of a building, and tear down a sign. And you only have to give them $50 to get away with it, I think he got off easy.
I was walking home from a club in St. Petersburg. I definitely wasn't sober but I wasn't doing anything other than walking with two of my friends when we got stopped by the police. They wanted to shake us down(at least me the American for sure), but I had the wherewithal to bring a photocopy of my passport and not my actual passport. They like to confiscate passports and demand $100 worth of rubles to get them back. I planned for the worst and got released before my two EU compatriots and everything went swimmingly.
Be mad about the shakedown all you want, but he wasn't in America where legal system corruption is not thought to be a regular occurrence. You play by their rules and you understand the game. I'm sure he'd prefer to have his $50 gone than spend a night in Brazilian jail.

Re: Lochte lied? Not so fast
This was back in 2006. But it was a pretty dang cool town. Had a local show us around. It's depressing when you first get there, but every friggin building there is soooo massive. It's all so soviet. Glad I went there. Glad I didn't get put in jail too.ip_law-hokie wrote:Good post.
