Drunk Priest Offers Oral Sex To Cops

[Willie Boy]

He wasn't helping anyone when he was crashing his car piss drunk, was he?

No one said he was. Just that there are bigger issues.

Hopefully!

Religion is a farce.

That is your opinion.

 

[Willie Boy]

If he killed someone you loved you would be less sympathetic.

I'm not being sympathetic. I'm just saying we should learn to see the warning signs, maybe then we could prevent issues like this, or even some child molestations, from happening. Sorry that my minor suggestion isn't noble enough to stand against belittling another.

Let's just hope Miss Thang has finally learned that Pamprin Max and shots of Jager don't mix.

Jagar doesn't mix well with much of anything...

We ARE seeing the warning signs, that's the point of arresting him in the first place. We shouldn't have to wait until he actually kills someone to do something about it.

And arresting him is the right thing to do. That was never the issue. It is the laughing about "another straight priest going gay" attitude that is the issue. Instead of just laughing about the problem, we need to realize that there is an issue that needs to be dealt with, and maybe think of a way to deal with it. Just arresting this guy does nothing to counteract the pressure that caused his problem, the same pressures that are at this moment building in the lives of many others. Or should we just sit back and wait for more lives to be damaged so we can laugh about it again?

 

[HoodedRat]

That is utterly hilarious* ... and doubly so, because that drunken twat is supposedly a priest/religious guy ... rather than a mere normal person.



*... and yet also tragically, pathetically, sad ...he is clearly not a guy who has not made peace with his own sexuality.

Between redecorating the sun porch and organizing the garden club, I just don't know if I'll have time to fix every one of societies problems... Sorry.

But that is the point priests/"religious" guys are still mere normal persons. And yet the are expected to help everybody else deal with issues that can't be dealt with. And when the pressure of being Superman cause them to snap, we just sit back and laugh about their predicament.

*... and yet also tragically, pathetically, sad ...he is clearly not a guy who has made peace with his own sexuality.

Well, usually Catholic priests are required to remain celibate adding pressure, no wonder they are the ones who seem to snap most often.

It wouldn't hurt you to care enough to assist with one. Unless you aren't man enough.

Society's responsibility only goes so far. Personal accountability is big for me, even though I'm a bit of a left-leaner.

He should get counselling from an actual psychologist, and not a religious nutter. If he's an alcoholic (which there's no proof of as far as the public is aware, at least not yet) hopefully a judge could give him the option of treatment over punishment. We can't make him leave his church and live the life of a normal gay man. We can't make him stop drinking if he doesn't want to. What we can do is lock him up when he decides to drink and get behind the wheel.

As for warning signs, it might be a sign he's an alcoholic, but like I said, there's no proof of that, at least not to the public, not yet. Perfectly normal people can get drunk and out of control, especially if they lead sheltered lives and one night decide to party hardy. It happens all the time. There is no sign whatsoever that he's pedophile, though. What could we really learn from it? I don't know. Maybe, if you're gay, don't be a priest? Or how about, don't be a priest at all?

He's a big boy. He thinks he has the ins with the fictional creator of the universe, and people look up to him for that. He chose to be a priest and take a vow of celibacy. He chose to get drunk and drive, and someone could have paid the ultimate price for his poor decision. So there's also a factor of hypocrisy here.

I don't think the situation's funny. I do think some of the things he said are funny, however. I mean, come on, Oprah's going to get her fat ass down here? I can't help but to giggle every time I hear that.

There are bigger problems to worry about. Consider how many children have starved to death, or perished from preventable diseases, in just the time this debate started. There's people with real mental health issues out there, not just some dude who wants to get drunk and have some sexy time.

Of course personal accountability is extremely important, but in social organisation the group benefits and the group has real and large responsibility to look after one another. Whether one is religious or not is irrelevent as all of society benefits when one person benefits from the work of a person who dedicates himself to welfare. You scratch my back sort of thing. Even if you don't personally and directly benefit, it does come down the line and you have a better life when those around you improve their lot.

The behaviour of this man doesn't just suggest alcohol abuse, that much is clear. There are mental health issues here, and it is bizarre that anyone find the rants of a man tortured amusing. It's that simple. If you find yourselves giggling, perhaps that speaks as much to your own discomfort and empathy as much as it does the unusual behaviour of another.

And I'm not writing only in response or directing my thoughts at only Starcrasher. It makes me wonder that with such a very short period of time passed since we had a spate of suicides, so many of you would utter such shit to each other ! You are supposed to be 'brothers' in arms against the sort of reductionist, disenfranchisingshit that enables marginalisation and depression, for fucks sake.

This was his 3rd DUI.

I don't care if he is gay and is living through a lot of pain/whatever... when you get behind the wheel blind drunk, you are less than dirt.

 

[bendted]

Hilarious. This man deserves scorn, not pity.

 

[CowboyBob]

Would they have aired this video on the evening news if the man wasn't a priest?

The man needs intervention and alcohol addiction counseling before he hurts himself and others.

 

[alley]

Some of these armchair Psychologists are even more amusing than the video.

Now that I've had a little time to think about it, I guess my feelings are mixed.

Listen, it's nothing to be proud of but I've been about as drunk as drunk can be more than a few times in my life and I would NEVER have behaved like that at a police station. (Thankfully, I've never seen the inside of one - save for bailing out a friend or two...)

To go on for THAT long saying such insane shit.... I dunno - either there were other drugs involved or the guy has got some real problems.

Either way, this video is now on CNN dot com, so it's officially gone 'viral', I'm sure. And no one deserves that. Why don't we just shackle him in the town square and stone him to death ? This is sort of the virtual equivalent of that if you think about it...

Does the crime fit this punishment ?

I'm not sure.

 

[alley]

ohhh...someone's spitting out venom this evening.

Nope...but I do have a bit of gas.

 

[Telstra]

according to that video clip.
He is just a drunk human and it isn't funny.
