So here's my question: Why, when the cop is right there, and these dudes are openly s__tfaced smashed, were they not arrested for public intoxication? Meanwhile, if the cop is right there, interacting with them, the options for their transpotation home was 1) foot (aka walking) 2) driving a car. If it was the latter, then everyone involved blew it because these guys were potential murderers-on-wheels if they cranked an ignition and put any auto in gear.

PS: LOVED the accusation that Adelman was a 'pedophile'. These erstwhile college characters should know that pedophile means an underage sex seeker. If these guys WERE underage, then the bar AND their soused moron patrons should have all been nursing hangovers in Lew Sterrett.

clay- recording from a public place for editorial use is perfectly legal. Only when Avi sells his video or sells ads on his video does he need model releases. Also-when one of the parties involved knows that audio recording is taking place the recording is then perfectly legal. Sorry but thats the law and yes... this officer who apparently was assigned to this area should have taken further action, but, since it seems everyone on the street that night was "out of sorts" he would have needed a much larger vehicle.

BTW-it looks like Avi is getting credit for someone else's work here... on his post he credits the video to "BD" - not himself. I for one applaud Avi and think the image of the rottweilers on his blog space resemble him quite remarkably...

Actually, I agree with pretty much everyone here. But, to your point, Clay, about the taxi option...that slipped my mind. (But wanta bet...these guys drove Daddy's BMW SUV bought in Plano?) But my question about being snockered and weaving and profane and loud in public...I thought that was called 'public intoxication' and was arrestable or at least a ticketable offense. It has a name and a law behind it. So when and where and which cherry gets picked?

The cops or whoever (besides Adelman) oversees the footloose traffic on this nocturnal street of dreams should have called a cab FOR these guys. Somehow I'm doubting that they called their big brother over at the frat house (who sips iced lattes waiting for their call as their designated driver) to come get them.

Why do I feel that if I was seen reeling on the street with apres alcohol vertigo, I would be driven downtown by the men in blue who were ignoring these post pubescent poster kids for suburban birth control?

Avi? I have said it before and agree with every legit question (or barb) posed here regarding his motives, and his desire for the lemon-light. He bores me as does 'lower Greenville' (my once neighborhood of sorts which is actually not 'lower' since it's near Mockingbird and thus 'upper' but hey.)
