Slog - Comments on And Now for Some Good News http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/and_now_for_some_good_news Two badass San Francisco bartenders foiled a creepy would-be date rapist as he slipped drugs into his companion's drink. It looked for all the world as if the couple on a date -- he was darkly handsome and a little older than the pretty, petite blonde with the Russian accent -- were having a great time together. "A really great time," their waitress, Karri Cormican, recalled thinking. "She was facing him, had one of her legs up on the bench seat." Good body language. So it came as a shock when after the woman left the window-side table to visit...

Erica...while I appreciate this story, and agree that it is, in fact, a good outcome, I wonder if you can or ever have posted any story that paints men in a positive light?

There are a few of us out here, wouldn't you agree?

Your cynicism wears me out.

The Bartenders probably had good fathers who taught them the virtue of looking out for other people.
Oh and the police officers who responded were most likely men. Maybe those are some good men also.

Their chance came when Tatiana went outside to smoke a cigarette.

But Erica changes it to making a phone call! Is that because she doesn't think its "PC" to have the woman associated with smoking! Hmmmmm....

That's not even a prison beef. This guy's going to do his time in fucking county.

That's awesome.

2. Excellent catch, raindrop. What's with the editorial liberty?
3. It is an awesome story. That loser gets his first spiked drink taken away and actually has more back-up drugs in case the first ones didn't work!
4. Joe Szlamnik. Sounds similar to Moe Szyslak. And this sounds like something Moe would do.

but still, a message should be sent that this sort of behavior is not acceptable if we want it to stop. this is hardly that message.

No. 6: I have no problem with smoking! I smoke sometimes myself! It was just a deadline-day fuckup, I swear!

Then, it would have been excellent for everyone to have beat the shit out of him while he was unconscious. Much more fitting than 6 months, IMO.

It would've been impossible to prove in a court of law why that asshole spiked his date's drink, even though any idiot knows the reason.

Your hotness level just went down in my eyes. I'd rather have you stick another one of those beer-battered wieners in your mouth than a cigarette. I thought you were smarter than that.
