Actually, when I watched the video, not once did I think it was funny. I still don't. I think the guy was an idiot who deserved an ass whipin.

I have to say Jim, lighten up some and smile for a moment....even you know it was funny....

Your cop mentality is showing.....

If anything is a great teaching moment for all the responsible parents.....

Well worth the fines and jail time? Are you kidding? Displays like that are ridiculous.

Vintage, I have read and agree with all your posts regarding this incident. At the very least it is a blatant disregard for stadium policy and law enforcement, not to mention the enjoyment of the game's progress. A lot of people looked at this as being funny but when I saw it I thought, "what an idiot." You are correct that the potential for this incident to escalate into a dangerous encounter exists. From a police stanpoint, when you are chasing a suspect, regardless of the offense, the threat does not end when you apprehend the individual as you have no way of knowing his intentions. People are not aware of this fear (yes fear) unless they are ever involved in this capacity. Fortunately this encounter ended safely. Many folks think that because they watch "NYPD Blue" or "COPS" on TV, it makes them an expert on law enforcement. So, no, I don't think it was worth the jail time or fines, not to mention making a fool out of yourself for generations to come and putting security and police personnel at risk.

It would help society if scum bags like TMZ would fall off the face of the earth. Why they are allowed to do some of the crap that they do is beyond me. Thankfully, I am not a celebrity because I would been in jail with a lawsuit on my hands if I had to deal with those idiots on a daily basis.

TMZ is a menace. There seems to be stalking laws on the books, that are not enforced.

To each their own. Great thing about opinions, we're all entitled to our own.

Because it teaches bad behavior and shows people that they can get a laugh or approval from the masses for their actions. Its just another stunning example of the degradation of our society.

For example, years ago, a kid would never talk back to a cop. You'd get your ass beat. You had respect, for your teachers, for your elders, for the police. Now? Its all gone to hell. 14 year olds shoot each other over "respect", 17 year old girls have 3 kids, people look to welfare before looking for a job. Extreme examples, but the behavior starts somewhere. Show respect for yourself, your family, hell show respect for the game. This isnt an exuberant fan running onto the field to congratulate Aaron on hitting 715. This is an idiot who writes stuff on his body and runs half naked onto the field to fulfill some desire of being an ass and doing something to please himself. It takes away from MY enjoyment of the game that I love. That's why tv crews have stopped showing this nonsense when someone does it - they are trying to show people that their 15 minutes of fame is now 15 seconds. If people had a bit more respect for themselves, their families and others in society, we wouldn't even be having this discussion and I'd be sitting back enjoying a ballgame with my family after a hard days work.

I don't know what these idiot's motivations were to start, but I do know that TMZ purchases videos and the possibility exists that this was all pre-planned to profit and get 15 minutes of fame.

As an adult, I got a chuckle from it and always loved the jerk that ran on the football field that got clotheslined by a player, but I would really be upset if one of my young kids was there to witness it and I have to agree with VintageDeputy on that one.

Vintage....

I am not arguing the fact that what this guy did should be condoned....but look, he did something wrong, no doubt, and for self gratification (being the first idiot to streak at the new park). S#!t happens, and since it does, it's not the end of the world to laugh along for a moment. If the guy had been totally naked, it would have been disgraceful....he wasn't, so at least he consciously thought about what he was about to do.

The part I totally disagree with you on is the part I highlighted of your last post.....

How in the WORLD does it show kids that it's OK to break the rules....when you are run down by a group of law enforcement, and dragged off in handcuffs?

Isn't he bunned, I mean banned forever from the ballpark? I am sure he can sneak in, butt come on. This guy is an a$s. LMAO, it did crack me up though.

Plus he and his booty, I mean buddy ended up profiting by selling this video to TMZ so now here come the idiot copycats.

Andrew,

You'll be getting a call from CBS studios soon....they are looking for a new writer for David Letterman....

Re: O.T:Mets fan streaker,he slides on his ass!

Every security officer who ran after him. Just like any police officer that gets into a pursuit. Just like any player that gets injured playing the game. Injuries occur. If a security person ran after him and slipped and fell, it would be this nitwit's fault. The security people dont know what his intentions are. They dont know that he isnt trying to hurt a player. All they know is that he doesnt belong on the field. Its their job to stop him despite his fun driven intentions.

His actions show kids that its ok to break rules. Maybe not a strong example, but people are products of their environment. The negative reinforcement of his actions could be a precursor to poor judgement and decisions. It also sets an example that having a criminal record and being arrested mean nothing. People should be ashamed of an arrest/conviction on his record. Its not a badge of honor.

He is still an ass, even if people laughed.

Who was at risk of being injured?

Re: O.T:Mets fan streaker,he slides on his ass!

But there was something disrepectful to the kids....and to the families, the players, etc. The disrepect can be found in the fact that one idiot decided to break the law for his own amusement. He inconvenienced everyone at the game. He put people at risk of being injured while chasing after him. Its no different that kids joyriding and running from the police. His "innocent" fun put others at risk AND taught the kids that its ok to break the law for your own personal enjoyment. Remember the drunken father and son who thought it was funny to run onto the field and beat up the Royals 1st base coach ? Its sad really....sad that we can't just enjoy being at a baseball game with becoming part of the entertainment.

Who was at risk of being injured? He didnt run toward anyone. He specifically did it when no players were on the field. This was clearly done in fun, and from the crowd reaction, they enjoyed it too! Granted that he willingly broke the law and it sets a bad example for kids, but kids also need to realize that people will often do things at a personal expense to make others happy. Thats a parents responsibility for teaching the difference between right and wrong. A kid isnt going to become a criminal because he saw a guy run partially naked on a baseball field. Cant really compare a guy running onto an empty field to 2 assholes that got drunk and went out onto the field with the intent on causing physical injury to someone. Its apples and oranges.

Re: O.T:Mets fan streaker,he slides on his ass!

I couldn't agree more.

Further more, he was partially covered up, so it wasn't completely disrespectful to the kids at the stadium.....there's nothing wrong with a little fun now and then. I just would have liked to see the guy elude security for a bit longer......he gave up way to quickly. If he had made a mad dash for awhile, he would have REALLY gotten the crowd into it.

I don't know about the slide, though......(ouch)
