[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lochte was not the victim.  His teammates were the victims while Lochte sat safely in his luxurious home in the US and they were pulled from their plane or had their passports confiscated while they were subjected to interrogation because of his juvenile behavior.

You would think the law and order crowd would say that he should go to Rio and face the music ........ the guy left his compatriots to deal with the legal mess that he created.

But he did say that he was very "hurt" that it happened to them!   :D [/quote]

Lots of posters are lawyers and, by definition, law and order types. Including me. If there were a strong chance of Lochte being treated fairly, then I would want him to go back to Rio. Since there isn't, I don't think he should. [/quote]

I guess you must then sympathize with Julian Assange who is taking refuge in the Ecuadoran embassy in the UK because he believes if he is extradited to Sweden, he will then be extradited to the US and believes that he will not get a fair trial here.

I take a more basic view: if you go to a foreign country and break the law then you face the system of justice there; otherwise, don't break the law or don't go to a foreign country whose judicial system you do not consider fair.

Lochte was not charged with vandalism. And when he left the country, he was not indicted. That happened almost a week after he left.  There's no requirement for someone to return to a country, after they've left, even under your standard.[/quote]
