I read the BoingBoing article and you're right. There’s not a damn thing Tommy Calloway can say that will erase what he did to this woman, but then to go to the media and claim that wasn't his intention, or that he “touched her back”, is especially galling. It doesn’t matter what his intention was and we can all see him hauling off, and slapping a total stranger on the ass. I dont want to hear his f*cking credentials, (he could be the Second Coming, idc),because those have absolutely no bearing, whatsoever, on what he did to her. There is no excuse.

In what world is it okay to just slap somebody you don’t know, and have never met, for no reason, (on an intimate body part, no less)? Yes, this is called assault, and it doesn’t matter what he intended.

And who the f*ck is tapping their fingers in support of anything this man did, while castigating the victim? So they have enough energy to blame her for what? Working in a public space? Being seen as a woman in the out of doors?But these same people can’t be bothered to say anything about what he did wrong. I also want to point out, that plenty of men passed her by, and they were all capable of controlling their hands.
