Charles Burgess, 32, from Dayton, Ohio, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly throwing an object at the Dallas Wings v New York Liberty game on 5 August, New York police said. The object hit a 12-year-old girl, and Burgess was charged with two counts of assault. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Burgess had an attorney.

A grown-ass man acting like a teenager doing a senior prank, presumably because he wanted to look cool in front of the other misogynist dipshits who think a woman's value is tied to their sexuality, is peak 2025.

Apparently the people who started this whole thing were doing it as a publicity stunt promoting a crypto coin. So if it wasn't already bad enough....

I've heard that too, but I refuse to buy it. They're just misogynistic losers looking for their 15 minutes to exploit. It's nice to see consequences though.

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 months ago

Both things can be true. In fact it is more than likely that cryptobros are misogynist dipshits.

You say that as if those are mutually exclusive categories.

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 2 points 5 months ago

You're not wrong.

I hope they throw the book at him as hard as he threw the dildo at that girl 😡

So this is what growing up watching youtube does to a generation...

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Not sure why the downvotes. Social media, especially YT, platforms these horrible people that actively twisted a generation into complete assholes.
