I think Derek secretly blames Letsrun for "causing" Frank Mesa's death instead of his numerous articles that kept hounding Meza on a national scale along with the other news outlets. That's why Derek said he will no longer post on LRC. He has real bad logic outside of time splits.

It’s pretty pathetic that your initial reaction to a woman being inappropriately touched is to find dirt and judge her.
She could be a porn star for all I care. There’s a difference between a consensual interaction and a non-consensual interaction.
What this guy did was wrong. The woman did absolutely nothing wrong for being upset and wanting justice.
Pathetic posts all around.

Many people on this thread, who are defending the man who slapped this reporter's butt, are failing to understand context. This is not the time or place to engage in that behavior. She was working and reporting a story, he was supposed to be running. Some people jumped in the camera to wave. That is ok, since they did not really disrupt her broadcast. However, after the man slaps her butt, you could see in her expression that she was uncomfortable.
Why would someone think that it is a good idea to slap a stranger's butt in the middle of a race? It was uncalled for and disrespectful. There is a significant difference between a friendly butt slap between teammates, which is common in team sports. This is completely different, since they are not teammates, and presumably have no relationship to one another, he comes across as creepy. There is not the same sense of camaraderie.
The most important aspect to this incidence is consent. She obviously did not consent to being slapped on her butt. She did not deserve to be slapped on her butt and he should apologize.
Ok, mom

The LR terms and conditions clearly state that Letsrun takes ownership of the content you post as soon as you hit the submit button. Given this, I don't think it's inaccurate to attribute the content of posts to LR itself. It no longer belongs to the individual posters per LR's own policy.
Guy looks like Michael Moore. Maybe she had a cheeseburger in her back pocket.

I did not say butt slapper guy is innocent. What I am saying is Derek did a sh-t poor job of actually investigating and looking into her background before opening his big mouth and has lost touch of his roots and where he came from. Way to go promoting a female sexist that intentionally degrades men.

Wow. It does not matter what she posted on her Instagram. What this guy did to her was assault. You are basically saying she deserved it. Nothing she posted on Instagram was relevant to what happened at the race.

Ditto. What she should do is to swear out a complaint for misdemeanor battery and let Tommy explain to a jury how it was all in good fun.
Women in her line of work already have to deal with a surprising amount of weird behavior. So now she's going to be always on edge when working around a crowd, wondering if the next time is going to be more than a slap on the ass.

I am referring to the portion of the terms and conditions that states: "You acknowledge that material that you post becomes the copyrighted property of LetsRun.com." If the posts that Derek is referencing are the copyrighted property of LetsRun.com, how is it misleading to attribute that content to LR?

This was from a Halloween Party. This photo does not give anyone who wants to permission to slap her ass at any time.
This guy does it in front of dozens and on camera. This is bad behavior but not the type where she felt intimidated because she was not in a dark alley or he did not hold some type of authority over her. If a football coach slaps all of his players on the butt, that is probably worse because a player would worry about ramifications if they complained. Yet we witness that behavior on national television.
Poor little thing must be traumatized ?
Will she be able to recover and come back to work? Let's hope so ? ?
Quite frankly, I am deeply disturbed and offended by the gorilla noises. It reminds me of the time I was sexually assaulted while locked up in a gorilla cage. I can't believe that the TV stations allows those types of gorilla mating calls to be aired. But I guess it's ok when a female gorilla does it.
It was certainly a dumb thing to do.
I think sometimes we do things in the heat of the moment but to have the nerve to smack a stranger (a woman) in the but does technically mean sexual assault.
Now does this mean he will go to jail for this?
I think it was quite an ignorant thing to do and he crossed a line. It also makes you wonder what else he may have done that hasn't been captured on camera.
Based on his actions alone, I think 30 days in jail seems reasonable. Harsh but reasonable. The only way I would consider no jail for him would be some kind of lengthy community service and course in public conduct or something of the like.
He's already going to suffer from the internet. 30 days is my sentence for him, maybe he could serve it on weekends? Or not, it was a serious offence in that he thought nothing of doing what he did.
He is an a-hole but he didn't stab her or murder anyone (that we know of)

You must also be one of those Derek Murphy jerk offs that loved his article where he doxxed the hobby jogger that legitimately ran a marathon. The hobby jogger's crime that Murphy was judge, jury, and executioner for? He picked up two finisher medals at the finish line instead of just one!
Derek Murphy is not a god. He has been wrong quite often and think he doesn't stink. He also has no sense of proportionality nor hypocrisy, and rushes to a conclusion before adequate research, like in this case.
Just point out again that the POTUS has assaulted likely many more women than this guy, lets not forget that.
Not defending what this guy did in any way, but it really seems odd that we live in a society where the POTUS
sexually assaults, holds office, and then it all seems to pass and we start talking about someone else sexually assaulting someone.
Wierd times we live in.
It's a fine line between bottom of back and top of butt. What if he was trying to smack her on the back and just his pinky crossed the line? Still shouldn't do it, but certainly not sexual assault. Everyone should slow down until there is proof that he actually groped her. There is a cop car with lights on right behind the reporter. Dash cam evidence?
Fair point, lol this is a silly topic to discuss. let the courts handle it
Sexual assault or mischief or some other charge (causing a disturbance?)
Or make him pay a $500 fine, apologize to her and be done with it. If she got $500 for that, I bet she'd be happy.
Who knows, maybe she will take civil action
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
