It all boils down to this. Not to mention he left his teammates hanging, while he is busy posting nonsense on Snapchat and Twitter.

Lochte King of Douchebags. I can't believe anyone would defend him or his childish behavior.

I'd never heard of him before this incident and couldn't make it through even a third of that article. Maybe he's getting exactly the reproach he deserves, but I do think he got drunk, got robbed, feels stupid.

But that doesn't excuse armed robbery, which is what Brazilian officials appear to be trying too do.

Lesson learned. Never trust the story of a grown man with mermaid hair.

This thread is hilarious.

Most seem to think he is stupid, acted badly, got robbed, omitted details, and Brazil has handled this terribly.


Then there is a contingent that is basically like:

RYANLOCHTEISAWHITEPRIVILIGEDSWIMBROAMERICANDOUCHEBAGLIAR!!!!!!!!
And can't seem to have a nuanced discussion about this.

I'll add that to the reasons I will never go to Brazil.

+1 no one acted well here. The swimmers were assholes but Brazil is handling it incredibly poorly

A) Lochte and friends were destructive assholes.

B) a criminal element that shook them down for money, and the Brazilian authorities which are corrupt and incompetent.

Yup.

+1. Not to mention, lying to the police and/or interfering with a police investigation is a felony charge in Brasil. If the words "South American prison" do not strike fear in your heart, you definitely shouldn't travel to that area. I expect these guys will lawyer up and be able to buy their way out of having to do any time, lucky for them.

Imagine if Brazilians had done this in the States. Open carry maniacs would have lit them up like the OK Corral.

You have the open carry folks pegged totally wrong.

And, for breaking a soap dispenser and the hinges on a door?
Ha ha.....
Have you seen any of the gas station restrooms in the DC area?
That would be an improvement..............

Has literally a single poster suggested he is NOT immature and childish???

+1. No one is saying he is anything but a jackass. However, being a jackass doesn't mean you deserve to get held up by the Brazilian police.

Yeah, I would like to see the before pictures. I'm having a hard time picturing a pristine gas station bathroom in Rio.

I don't see the white privilege thing on here as much as the entitled rich boy thing. I don't see anyone on here lately emphasizing race--I'm as white as they come and
I say he's an entitled, suburban (yes, he has no clue how to behave in an urban setting) manchild douche.

Yes those of us that actually live within the DC limits wouldn't set foot in your cracker ass Manassas gas station bathrooms. Neither would a Brazilian probably

Right?! I feel like there is a contingent of posters who, upon hearing, say, that Lochte was tortured and abandoned on the side of a deserted road, would take the occasion to remind us for the hundredth time what a white, entitled, arrogant douchebag he is.

Meanwhile Phelps is back home hitting some dank buds and laughing.

I was thinking back to the time a college kid got busted in the Philippines for vandalism and he wound up getting his ass caned. Maybe they ought to do the same for Lochte
