Officer, May I Have a Moment to Finish Masturbating?

The SPD Blotter has posted a report about a man spotted in a Columbia City last Wednesday, pants around his ankles, "in the throes of self-flagellation." Responding to a complaint, officers arrived in an alley at 3:34 p.m.—aka, in broad daylight—to allegedly find the 35-year-old man rubbing one out on a staircase. "When officers told the man to stop, he refused and said he was almost finished," the report says.

The Seattle Police Department notes that the suspect had been arrested before. He was booked into jail for indecent exposure.

So, did he make it, or not?

If flagellating, doing it wong. (I'll spot you an "R," Chelsea.)

I know it's Jonah Spangenthal-Lee words, but unless the guy was holding a whip in one hand and whipping himself while doing it, he wasn't "in the throes of self-flagellation."

Finally, a legitimate use for a taser.

My best friend manages the Alehouse, and just happened to take a vacation day on Wednesday. Otherwise, he would have been the one to discover this creep. He was trying to grab women on the street, one of them ran into the alehouse to report it, and the rest is history.

Well he's going to get the public indecency charge either way. Might as well let the man finish, it's just common courtesy.

"self-flagellation" was not my creation, SPD wrote it in the report, check the link.

Apparently self-flagellation isn't what it used to be.
