[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he does not go and if it is not settled in some other way, he is liable to be extradited if he goes to any other country that has an extradition agreement with Brazil.

I guess he should just stay in the US and he won't have to worry about dealing with Brazilians and having a cocked gun aimed at his head!

He could just claim diminished mental capacity and based on his interactions he may be believed. The guy is just plain dumb.[/quote]

Do other countries extradite for misdemeanors?  The US doesn't, but I don't know enough about extradition laws in other countries. [/quote]

I don't know the answer but I suspect that it varies by country.

Of course, Brazil could just say he is wanted on a felony charge and another country may well accept it.

The guy is so fucking stupid to risk everything with a cockamamie story.[/quote]

[b]You mean the story where he had a gun drawn on him and had to empty his wallet? That story? [/quote][/b]

No, this story where just about every SINGLE thing he said was a lie or an exaggeration:

[i]"We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over," Lochte said. "They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn't do anything wrong, so — I'm not getting down on the ground.

"And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, 'Get down,' and I put my hands up, I was like 'whatever.' He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cell phone, he left my credentials". [/i]

About the only thing that may be accurate is the "whatever" since that is about the level of his intellectual discourse.[/quote]

Huh. According to the follow up police reports, the being pulled over in the taxi was true. The guys having a badge or some form of ID was true. The swimmers now knowing who those people were initially (no lights, no nothing) was true. Pulling out guns was true. Telling the swimmers to get down was true...

So the part you have issue with is him saying they put the gun to his forehead? That part right there? *that* is what you considered to be the whole of the story?

I don't know about you, but I imagine if I have a gun pointed anywhere near me, especially if I'm drunk, it's going to feel awfully close and when I'm telling the story - not giving a deposition or filling out a criminal complaint, but telling the story - I might tell it from an emotional rather than entirely factual perspective and a gun that was 3 feet away might be right at my forehead.

But that, that single detail, is the one that causes you the most pain?

Huh.[/quote]
