Abaya, I'll answer your question since you posed it for all the guys on the board.
If I had run across you passed out on Bourbon Street with your belongings scattered everywhere, I would have stopped to help, gotten you in a cab and gone on with my evening. I can say that because I've done exactly that both on Bourbon Street and off it. I wouldn't 1) call the cops (they'd take you to jail for public intox, even in NO) or 2) take you home myself. The first is pretty self-explanatory but the second is for exactly what happened to you.
In my opinion, after having read and reread all of your posts, the guy plain old took advantage of you. I don't know what smooth has read that I haven't but I can't see where anyone could possibly think that you consented, especially if he literally picked you up in the street. I'm sorry, but an unconcious single woman that comes on to you after waking up is not a potential bedfellow. Maybe after she sobers up, but there is no way that any prudent person hops in bed with her after the vomiting, smell and what should be obvious intoxication.
At best, this guy is guilty of being a flaming asshole that should be ostrasized from polite company. At worst, well, we've all been over that again and again. Regardless, if one of my friends did something like this, we wouldn't be friends for long. Its one thing if you spend hours in a bar both getting drunk together, but something entirely different to pick someone out of the gutter, buy her another drink (WTF?!) and then trot her off to your place.
