Why did ABC allow this Douchebag on their 'Dancing with the Stars'? He made an entire country look like it was unsafe by his wretched words when he lied to the Rio Police. When will this asshole stop blaming the word for being an idiot douchebag?
Ryan Lochte Talks Dancing With the Stars Ambush: It Felt Like Someone Ripped My Heart Out
by Bruna Nessif | Mon, Sep 12, 2016 11:22 PM
Ryan Lochte's nerves for hitting the ballroom floor for the first time tonight were quickly replaced with nerves over an ambush by audience members.
As we reported earlier, the Olympic swimmer was rushed by anti-Lochte protesters during the taping of tonight's Dancing With the Stars premiere when the Olympian and his partner Cheryl Burke were waiting to hear the judges' responses to their performance.
While the actual altercation was not aired on television, the commotion was felt by the viewers, whether it was by Carrie Ann Inaba's comments or the slight image of bodies running towards the stage.
After the incident (security ended up detaining the men after kicking them out of the show), Lochte spoke to E! News about what happened. "It's hard," he tells E! News' Sibley Scoles, adding that it felt like "someone reached inside and ripped my heart out and stepped on it."

This has gone silent because pictures/video prove they didn't damage the bathroom and they were robbed by a security guard with a gun.
Your lack of empathy for the victim in this is disgusting.

(9,527 posts)It's hard to call the guy who damaged other people's property, peed in public and then lied about it for days to the USOC, his mom and the police a "victim". If he had made smarter choices, he wouldn't have put himself in a situation to be detained. Shockingly being a jerk and committing crimes has a tendency to bite one in the ass.

(7,745 posts)He is the victim in this situation.
The only "offense" (not a crime) he committed was accidentally knocking a poster off a wall and lying by omission about the robbery.
He was robbed by an armed man in a police like uniform who stopped their taxi and took their money at gun point. Now he has been violently attacked by Brazilian Nationalists.
If you don't have empathy for him, it's a moral failure on your part. But keep focusing on the victim's choices and not the choices made by the violent criminal who robbed him or the violent criminals who attacked him on stage.

(13,340 posts)Lochte is a frat boy douche, but frankly, the use of a gun in that situation is nuts. Plenty of dumbfuckery happening there.
But a protest? At a bullshit reality TV dancing show? FFS.... Aren't there any more important things to work on!?
