Inappropriate incidents on the New York City subway are not uncommon. But that didn’t stop Nicola Briggs from taking a stand when a male rider flashed her last fall. The video of that confrontation became a YouTube sensation. Now Briggs been honored by the city.
The original video shows Briggs angrily, and justifiably, berating the man after she caught him exposing his genitals and trying to brush up against her. The fiery redhead is seen cursing him out and vowing to escort the man to the police right then and there.
“I’m not leaving your side, my plans are done for the night, I’m escorting you to the police station,” she said in the video. “Oh yes, oh fu** yes!”
And she did. According to CBS 2 in New York, Mario Valdivia, 50, was arrested, convicted, sentenced to four months in jail, and branded as a registered sex offender for life.
The original viral video is below, but content WARNING: it does contain graphic language:
On Wednesday, Briggs was honored by the Women’s Democratic Club of New York for standing up against abuse of woman on the subway:

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 12:03pmSorry, Rob . . . even cars aren’t safe from raging anti-gay Tea Party evangelical perverts, as we so deliciously learned yesterday.
“Rev. Grant Storms, a renowned anti-gay Christian pastor from Louisiana, was arrested last week for masturbating at a public park, in the vicinity of a carousel and playground where children were present.”
I‘m afraid you’ll just have to stay home.

That is the real reason that glennda seemed truly speechless for the first time ever, because during the commecials , Massa revealed just how comprehensive Rahns stimulus package really is. Yup, this is true.

When I worked at a call center, we used to get a perv that called in. What the idiot didn’t know is his address showed up on our screens. So the next time he called, he got ME. So I very politely transfered him to my “supervisor” to help him further… the sheriff’s office in his town! He never called back…

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 12:04pmCongrats to a young woman. I loved the one about the can of corn making the guy pass out. I think I would grab hold of it tightly and do a back flip (except I’d dirty my hand) Really girls, if we start doing something to combat this behavior it might make them think before show & tell. Read about an old woman who grabbed a guys (balls) and twisted until he almost passed out so she could call police. He was afraid to move because it resulted in more twisting. Then the little old lady came home to a robber and told him to stop in the name of Jesus, Acts 2:38. She called police and the guy told cops, the old lady said she had an ax and two 38′s. ha ha ha

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 8:56amNah, more likely this guy:
Rev. Grant Storms, a renowned anti-gay Christian pastor from Louisiana, was arrested last week for masturbating at a public park, in the vicinity of a carousel and playground where children were present.
According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, one woman saw Storms parked in his van “looking at the playground area that contained children playing, with his zipper down…,” the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office report read. After judging that Storms was masturbating, the woman and another mother who witnessed the event both alerted deputies.
After being apprehended by authorities, Storms claimed that he had been urinating into a bottle. He was then booked for obscenity — charges that he denied — and then released due to overcrowding in the jail.
What is it with you Christian freaks? Jesus, leave the our kids alone, will ya?

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 9:13amrolling stone just put out an article about how beck rips off alex jones work and twists it to play the dems vs republicans game. dont take my word for this, do your own research, here is the article. Im interested on how mr beck will respond, but, im sure he will not. i like beck, and this article is right on the money. if alex jones is so crazy, then why does beck use all his information 2 weeks after alex puts it out? if you like glen beck, pay attention to alex jones. do your own research, as beck and jones both say.
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/glenn-becks-shtick-alex-jones-got-there-first-20110304
alex has been very effective at exposing this stuff, agree or disagree with what he says. this has made him a target. beck comes off as the person whos job is to corrupt jones message, limiting his effectiveness. i dont agree with jones on many issues. think he is wrong about 911. but beck corrupts every other issue jones covers. look at who becks boss rupert murdoch is and it will be clear why beck says what he says in comparison to jones.

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 11:28am@JOE3, I read the Alex Jones comment, please don’t believe a word of it. He is an agitator and is accusing Beck of stealing his material. Sorry, but this does not work. Beck has an extensive staff who research all their material to make sure it is legit, then uses it. There is so much going on in this world it would be folly to claim someone stole your material. It’s out there for anyone to use. Sorry, but we’ve know for years Alex Jones is border line nut case. He’s trying to make a name for himself on the backs of others, like using Sheen. Most of what I’ve read on his page is disturbing junk.
