Ryan Lochte scandal megathread

look for extortion cases dealing with private citizens and citizens arrest. That is how I found the prostitution case.
"vandal held for ransom" maybe.

The Brazilian government is basically using this to send a message. You go over there, break shit, and file false police reports in order to make them look bad. They have to do something.

The only thing false about his police report is that maybe he should have said extortion instead of armed robbery. Maybe he wasted the time of the police. But he shouldn't be prosecuted for it because he couldn't be expected to know that extortion was perfectly legal. In first world countries, that kinda shit is illegal. If he wasn't so dumb, I'd like to see him say something like that in an interview. "Sorry I wasted your time, I didn't realize that was legal in your third world shithole"

motherfucker needs to hire me as a PR man.

Against Ryan owns words, that there was damage?

If he had said, there was no damage done, it was fabricated, then yes, but he conceded there was damage.

He never said, look there was no damage done.

He also said he was drunk and didn't remember. Basically, he wasn't in shape to dispute whatever they wanted to claim. But he remembered the gun being pulled on him, and there's video to back that up.

Again I know English is rough for you but the poster you are arguing with said there were no damages to the bathroom, not that there was no damage. How do you say bathroom in spanish?

Bano but the n has a ~ over the top. I can't figure out how to make that letter on my red blooded American computer.

Where are you guys getting police reports from, Lochte and friends never filed a police report? They never reported it to anyone until Lochte went on the Today show.

Lendarios · Aug 29, 2016

If they never filed a police report, then why were they charged by the police with filing a false police report?

Something smells rotten in brazil!!

Rio police charge Ryan Lochte with filing false robbery report

"The U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte has been charged with the crime of false communication," the statement read, in part.

Could they be charging him for what he said to Lauer? I wouldn't surprise me.

Chukzombi · Aug 29, 2016

To my knowledge he only told his mom in private, never filed a report. His mom flipped out and ran to the press, lochte then made another mistake by confirming the "lie" he told his mom. Thats when things started snowballing.

Gavinmad · Aug 29, 2016

Wow, didn't miss much while I was asleep. No surprise that Lendarios doesn't understand the difference between 'not guilty' and 'found guilty but conviction overturned because of procedural error during trial'. Also, that appeal argument is a joke. Either the appellate judge is a moron or the legal standards for citizen's arrest have changed since 1985, because what that dude was doing was not a fucking citizen's arrest, or would not have been.

It's also not the same because the dude didn't pull out a fucking gun and demand a blowjob from her. The 'guard' in Rio pulled out a gun and demanded money from the swimmers. Extortion has shades of gray, armed robbery really doesn't.

Lendarios · Aug 29, 2016

I read another article, in where they stated that the guards that held him, were in fact members of the police, another state, but police nonetheless.

In the light of this new evidence, I retract my support. The police is in no business of extorting/receiving money in exchange for leniency. If if would have been among private citizens, then it would have not been extortion.

Chukzombi · Aug 29, 2016

the olympics bankrupted brazil, they are desperate for cash. it shouldnt shock you that they would shake down gringos for money.

If they were not on duty, the fact that they were members of the police is completely irrelevant and they were no different than if they had been accountants. Also, it wasn't extortion. It was armed robbery.

Lol who gives a fuck anymore? The Brazil olympics are over. We never have to think about that diseased shitstain of a country and their worthless people unless they do something that necessitates bombing their ass into the Stone Age. Like discovering oil.

Our swimming bros are home with armfuls of gold medals. Everyone is happy.

Y'all are acting like run of the mill extortion of (rich) foreign sports stars is completely out of the question. Run of the mill extortion in a third world country is something Leandarios should at least understand well. I mean come on dude.

Probably because Lendarios appears to be from a third-world shithole like Brazil where police corruption and robbery/extortion are completely normal, thus he thinks it's A-Okay for this to happen.

Error. Panama is/was wonderful. I sexed a lot of women there and drinks were cheap. Probably the reason I sexed so many women.
