Sweden, Well done.

Quote:
The ruling was based on a case involving a 65-year-old man who was caught masturbating on a public beach. The man was reportedly charged with sexual assault but was acquitted by a district court, stating that his self-pleasuring act was for his own enjoyment and involved no one else.
The ruling was enough to clear him of the sexual assault charge, but it is still unclear if his action remains in violation of other statutes in Sweden. “With that [ruling],” prosecutor Vrethammar told The Local, “we can conclude that it is OK to masturbate on the beach… [although] the act may be considered to be disorderly conduct.”
Sweden has long been considered a sexually progressive land, but with a ruling such as this one, what about young children who now may witness these kinds of sexual demonstrations?

It would be hypocritical to want the guy punished while criticizing Russia for their laws against displays of homosexuality.

What a ridiculous story. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be convicted of assault for masturbating in public in Canada either, but you would be convicted of something like indecent exposure, committing a lewd act and/or disorderly conduct, which this guy will most likely be convicted of as well.

I'm more surprised that someone else wasnt convicted of assault for kicking the s--t out of the perv mid session.

The logic that two completely different laws, impacting different populations, with different rationales, in different countries, with different intentions are different? Well if you think that they are even remotely related I have to question your thought process.
The only way that this would be similar is if the law that Russia instituted didn't discriminate against homosexuals and was focused on preventing people from exposing their genitals in public. But that isn't what the law is about.

That makes absolutely no sense.
Public masturbation = PDA? What world do you live in?

Speaking for myself, I doubt I would want to walk up and make physical contact with someone some guy who was standing on a beach masterbating.

Would your opinion change if you were there with your wife or kids and you turn around and some guy is mid stroke?
I suspect it would

If you read his comments during the lockout, you'd know already that the world he lives in isn't remotely close to the one we live in.

Probably not. Someone who is crazy enough to start wacking it on a beach is someone I would rather stay away from.
Now if he was wacking TO my kids, that's an entirely different story.
