Years ago... when I was young and dumb, I got a traffic ticket and had to go to court... I tried reasoning with the judge (who happened to be a golfing buddy of my dad) because I honestly didn't realize what I did was illegal and the judge said to me.. Ignorance of the law is no excuse...
In the same time frame, my younger brother, who at the time was 6'2 and pretty muscular was in NYC with some high school friends, he was wandering around the city looking like a tourist... looking at all the big buildings, not paying attention to his environment (Cardinal rule in NYC - you pay attention) He andhis friends got their wallets lifted.. His excuse- I didn't know... He got cut absolutely no slack.. He should have known - - there are some things that you don't do...
Sorry - ignorance on the part of these woman is no excuse...
What should this guy get charged with ? Don't know and quite frankly don't care... Did these women deserve it? No, but they also could have very easily prevented it by paying attention...
