Foot-Tapping Ritual Common in Sex Sting

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A foot-tapping ritual was a common thread in many of the 41 arrests reported during a four-month airport bathroom sting that snared Sen. Larry Craig. An undercover officer would take a seat in a stall. Soon another man would sit in the stall next door and start tapping his foot, perhaps moving it closer to the officer's. The officer would move his foot up and down slowly. The suspect might then extend his hand under the divider between the stalls, sometimes repeatedly. That would be enough to get the man busted.

Airport police reports obtained by The Associated Press gave strikingly similar accounts of the events that led to the 41 arrests officers made for alleged lewd conduct in public restrooms in the main terminal of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport during the May-August sting.

That is choice! I could see that guy on PBS...Mark Russell?... doing that one.

Well, what does foot-tapping mean when foot-tapping to a church song during a church service?

It means you're just keeping time with the rhythm of the music UNLESS you're tapping the foot of a young guy sitting next to you in the pew. Then it means you're a queer. LOL

If two homosexuals are having anonymous sexual encounters in a public washroom, what makes anyone think that they clean up fluids after the event?

Get off and go...

But no, we were lied to and told it was the act of love between two consenting adults in private. Yet the gay rights organizations all the way to the top defend this practice of washroom sex as a civil right and want minors taught about homosexuality in schools. So much for the myth of adults only or privacy.

I would think that the way to stop this is to put a couple of round through the wall.

[org.whodat]

But I’m not so sure the “evidence” the police had would convict someone “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

I don't think I have ever met a cop that I would believe about this BS unless it was on tap and then I would want the tap checked.

Hey Cherry,
I respect anyone where they are right. I don’t care if they are my friend or not. Even Hillary Clinton gets my respect sometimes. lol I only wish bathroom pickups were the worst of the homosexual subculture. What usually happens, I imagine, is they join each other in the stall.

A friend of mine told a story about how his teenage son was accosted in a restroom by someone who was cruising. It is sick and a percentage of homosexuals seem to have some kind of fetish associated with restrooms and sex. Let us not forget that the number of partners for male homosexuals has been known to number in the thousands over a life time. There were very good reasons that homosexuality was classified as a disorder.

[org.whodat]

I’m never using a public restroom again.

Yes, much better to find an unattended cop car and crap in the front seat.

[org.whodat]

Then there is the thrill of victory when you reel in a big fish like a U.S. Senator!

If that is true then I would say the cop is as sick as the senator and needs help.

[org.whodat]

Even if he is cruising, the other can say no. So, where is the crime, here?

I really agree with your point! I just hate cop entrapment! It is alway border line legal and it alway reminds me of the FBI paying Randy Weaver to cut the end off of a shotgun then killing his wife over it. Why can't the cops just roust the queers? But that would be profiling wouldn't it.

[Sir Gawain]

Reach under my stall and you might get shanked.

[kylaka]

Meanwhile, the restless pecker crowd rampage the citizenry unimpeded. Yeah, like Clintoon would bother with foottapping. He just whips it out and commands that people kiss it.

I guess some folks are just crude, and others like courtship and ritual. I'm sure Hillary could explain which is which in detail.

Can you imagine going home to the wife who says “Tell me about your day”?

[JesusBmyGod]

ping! That is one funny story!

To: TornadoAlley3 How low do you have to sink to want to have sex in a public bathroom.

This is how it works with fags. After they get "married" they celebrate their first anniversary by revisiting the place where they had their first romantic encounter.

The toilet at the bus station.

au contraire..

when the perpetrator is using a specific “code of conduct” known to be used by gays to solicit sex (as shown by multiple other gay solicitations) then you have pretty good evidence that there is clear intent.

When did you last go into a public restroom, sit down, peer through the gap into the next stall, tap your foot repeatedly, slide it under the partition into the next stall, and run you hand repeatedly along the bottom of the partition?

Never?

Thought not..it’s not a random behavior, is it?

[Wil H]

This is bogus. You can’t arrest and convict someone for tapping his foot. Even if it is a message, so what. That’s protected free speech. Even if he is cruising, the other can say no. So, where is the crime, here?

Rubbish!

So you can approach a prostitute on a street corner and ask her for "a date", and that is protected free speech?

Try it to an undercover cop sometime, see how far you get....
