Ride-by spanking...


I don't know what to think about this sentence... It does seem excessive, but at the same time, in a way it doesn't. I don't know.


BOGOTA, Colombia, Feb 24 - A Colombian man has been sentenced to four years' house arrest for slapping a woman's bottom as he rode by her on his bicycle, sparking debate on whether the punishment fit the crime.

Showing re-enactments of the incident, television news shows were filled on Friday with legal experts offering opinions about the judgment handed down earlier in the week by Bogota's district court.

Some said that to confine bicycle messenger Victor Garcia to his home for four years for smacking Diana Marcela Diaz's buttocks was excessive. Others said it would deter other men.

One program showed three models having their denim clad bottoms smacked so hard by a phantom hand it could be clearly heard by television viewers.

The women said that while the punishment seemed extreme, they hoped the case would mean they would be safer while on foot.

"It happened to me once," one of the models said. "I was walking very relaxed and a guy rode by on his bicycle and, 'ta!' He smacked me. I took off my shoe to hit him with it but he was already too far away."

What he did was rude, but I think a $ fine would do the trick.  House arrest is really excessive in my opinion!  Hell, people have killed innocent animals, and not gotten that bad a deal.

If the ladies don't like it, they should just stay off the sidewalk.

Without knowing his history, it seems a bit much. BUT I bet he never touches another woman again inappropriately!

KIDDING!!!! JUST KIDDING!!! CALM DOWN!!!


I actually think its appropriate- he should feel lucky- in some countries they'd cut off his hand.

When people are on house arrest, don't they normally have an ankle brace that tracks where they go, so they can still go to work and such? And he's a bike courier (granted that he still has his job), so how would that work?

it will be a wrist bracelet, and with it, they will strap his spanking hand to the bike handle.

Tough call.  I think 4 years is a bit excessive, but I totally agree that he deserves some kind of punishment. Probably needs some mental help too if he honestly thinks it is okay to go around smacking strangers on the butt. I would say the ladies should be allowed to slap him back, but the little freak would probably enjoy that.
