Re: The Creepy Guy With a Glove. More on That.

OK, so everything I said about jumping the shark, I take it back. I just asked UPPD Chief Gary Adams if the guy gave any explanation for wearing the surgical glove to the park.

He said he suffers from a rare skin condition.

    Man, what a bunch of loons. Has there even been any allegation that he’s done anything wrong, except being a couple miles south of his own ZIP code? He actually got hounded by UPPD enough that he probably won’t come back to UP?

    I think I’ll start taking license plates at the parks and see if I can raise some rabble against suspicious hyperanxious xenophobic women.

    So your Michael Jackson connection wasn’t so far off.

    Gloves, creepiness, and skin conditions? Somebody call Patricia Cornwell. Or Quincy. This has all the makings of a first sentence for a fictional crime novel.

    Maybe people are spooked after the 7-carat Whole Foods mugging. But hells bells!

    Ditto Matt. I’ll just add that although the email seemingly went out to half the world, it wasn’t necessary to publish his license plate number on this site.

    As Merritt said yesterday, the lesson here is “Don’t go to the park wearing a surgical glove. It’s weird.” Because if you do, you’ll be hounded by a hysterical braying internet mob.

    Before I even read this update stating that the guy has a reason for wearing a glove, I thought the self proclaimed “Nancy Drew” was out of her f’n mind. The fact that she got police, attorneys, and mass emails and web postings without the guy doing anything remotely wrong shows how out of touch with reality some PC residents are. What a disgrace for a human.

    I think a reporter from this paper needs to do a story on this, cuz I’m just not getting it. From the first post the whole thing seems beyond absurd, I can’t wrap my mind around this womans actions. I keep thinking I’m missing something, is this as nuts as it seems? A PCP reporter needs to go talk to this guy and see if he realizes this is going on and how out of hand it’s gotten. And talk to the woman that called the police and sent out this guys deets to the entire bubble – somebody’s got some splainin’ to do, this is too wacky. Does my husband need to avoid the local parks to avoid being attacked by the crazy women in this town? Is my teenage son immune, or does he need to stay out of parks, too? Where else would set these crazy women off if they were to show up alone? Is Baskin Robbin’s off limits?
