serial flasher on the loose in brooklyn!
submitted by Shannon, Dec, 2010
On the day before thanksgiving, a man walks up the window of the shop where my sister works and exposes his erect penis. She is traumatized by this event and we discuss the incident last night over drinks at our local bar. As we’re leaving the bar, the SAME pervert walks by and exposes himself again to her (and me and a few of our friends). It’s around 1am, but this is a busy street in Brooklyn and there are several other people around. We shout and yell at him that he’s a worthless piece of s*@t and make a huge scene but he just walks away backwards and nonchalantly with his erect penis out. None of the other witnesses (all male) say or do anything.
COMMENT:
She was so “traumatized” that she discussed the incident over drinks in a bar. Then he does it again to a group of her friends who presumably were likewise traumatized.
A trauma is an internal shock or injury leading to or causing behavioural disturbance. If indeed that had happened, Shannon would most likely have had some medical treatment!
Our suggestion is that she certainly should get medical treatment. We do not want Shannon to have any more traumas over non-events.
You see…it is easy to bandy words about even if they are meaningless, but the trouble is that others read those words and if they are then flashed, they will suddenly feel “traumatized”. We call it whipped-up hysteria, which has little relation to facts!
