Hes lucky not to get kidnapped, beaten and then beaten again for being a douche and ransomed off for cash in that country. He got off easy-peasy. Fuck him and his entitled ass. LOL, vandalizing a gas station shitter, what is he 10?
and then goes crying to mommy.

Thats right, crime is ok as long as your target isn't sympathetic. Good to know!

No, I understand your position, if the guy is an ass then he deserved to be robbed so it's ok. I mean I think it's a dumbass position but if that is where you're at, thats fine.

Why is "white" being brought up? I have a hard time feeling bad for the guy and I'm certainly not some white-hating SJW. He's dumbass who got drunk and out of control in a known crime-ridden shithole. Then makes up some half-true story and gets his buddies in trouble. Was there a crime? Ok, sure. Does that mean Lochte is not a fucking idiot? No. Can't we all agree you can hate on more than one thing in this scenario?

Sorry being an ass doesn't not warrant being held at gunpoint.

Because you know and I know this wouldn't be a news story if the Bangladesh swimming team had gotten in some kind of $10 altercation at a gas station and then gotten robbed at gunpoint. It'd be, LOL BRAZIL
But since he's a white american cocky ass Michael Phelps wannabe, its national news if he gets drunk and fucks up in Brazil. Where getting drunk and fucking up is the national fucking sport.

I think it's probably both, but American is probably the larger factor, no argument.

If the government was charging him (and his fellow swimmer) with vandalism, it wouldn't be so surrel. But now they're literally extorting them for $10k to prove that the gas station security guard didn't extort them for $50.
We get it, you don't like ryan. So nothing that happens to him is bad and nothing he says or does is good. Your wife is brazilian, right?
Nope, you got no bones to pick here.
Weren't there other reports of Olympic athletes getting robbed? Or was it all just this incident and it seemed like more because facts were trickling out slowly?

That's the new measure of the law now. Who was involved, and what color was their skin?
I think it's helpful to just judge it in an idealistic common sense sort've way. Picture what happened, happening as it did- but it's on American/Western Democratic soil and everyone involved is just a.. dude!
Lochte paid off a guy so he didn't get potential press/consequences for pissing in a bush and being a dumb fucking bro. At gunpoint. It was robbery, but everyone involved committed a crime. To say that the guy pulling the gun isn't the 'most wrong' is fucking insane, but to say Lochte's the 'victim' is also stupid. You go into any urban shithole in either hemisphere and it doesn't matter what country it is, the same thingcould've happened (except in gun-controlled countries but not going there.)
Brazil is still a shithole tho. Free Lochte.

Uh, the question of whether or not a gun was pointed is very much still in dispute. Not sure why you guys are operating on the assumption that he had a gun pointed at him. Like everything else, it's very likely made up. The guy that was translating has stated that he never saw a gun pulled, let alone pointed: Gas station translator, U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte disagree on gun pointing
Who fucking knows what really happened? All I know is that it's probably best not to take the word of the guys who were shit faced and have lied from the very start about what happened.
Or did I miss something? I haven't watched the security videos, personally. In any case, if some dindu had vandalized your own private property, you confronted him about it with a gun, and asked him to pay for the damages in order to avoid the police being summoned, would you consider it robbery? Hardly. Fuck, half of you would have just shot him on the spot, going by your posts.

It's complicated because the only people claiming a gun was pulled are the drunk idiots, and there is apparently no video footage showing it. Although one of the idiots claims there is footage, it's just missing. Funny that.

Honestly, the racism and xenophobia in this community is getting completely out of hand. It's really unfortunate, as there used to be a diversity of opinions here. But lately it's become a constant chorus of this kind of shit, at least in the political/general threads, and the more reasonable posters are just giving up in exhaustion in the face of it. I know I hardly bother any more because I'll just get shouted down by an onslaught of people calling me a SJW. And queue...
