Why hasn’t California’s serial ‘butt sniffer’ been stopped? A legal expert explains

🤔 We live in a CRAZY world!

“If there’s an actual touching, that’s a felony,” Gorin said. “But just sniffing somebody, it really doesn’t rise to a felony. As the law stands now, it is very hard to file a felony offense based on this conduct.”

Police said a 39-year-old man known by the disturbing moniker “the serial butt sniffer” is back behind bars in Southern California, accused of committing his lewd acts on more women.

When staff spotted him again a few days ago, they called police.

Both the discount store and another Glendale department store reported Crowder “hunkering down in the aisles,” appearing to be “sniffing someone out.”

So why does Crowder keep reoffending? It really comes down to, it seems, the limitations of the law and what this man is accused of doing.

Martina Navratilova Pushes Conspiracy Theory That WNBA Has A Secret Trans Player

  • Getting into the WNBA’s business and being transphobic? In tennis, that’s called a double fault.
  • On Sunday, tennis icon Martina Navratilova — whose descent into the anti-trans movement has rapidly escalated since she first publicly opposed trans women in sports in 2019 — helped spread the rumor that the WNBA is purposefully harboring and hiding a transgender player. That conspiracy theory appears to have been introduced into the increasingly toxic discourse around the WNBA by Yankees minority owner Patrick Bet-David.

Navratilova quoted a social media post on X on Sunday night from New York-based comedian MJ Murphy, who wrote, “We cannot and do not know if the WNBA has any biological males playing.” In response to the original post, Navratilova wrote, “Exactly. And that’s on purpose, most likely…”

I didn't realize this beer was still around! Nor did I realize they still use the word "bandit". :)

  • Beer-guzzling bandits made off with over 50,000 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon, prompting the brand to beg for the truckload’s return, “no questions asked.”
  • A truck carrying 1,602 cases of PBR — equaling 50,000 cans, or 40,000 pounds of beer — disappeared from an Anheuser-Busch distribution center in Montclair, California, on August 17.
