There should only be legal charges if a heavy object hits someone else, like in this case.
For the rest, lifetime banning from all future major league sports games, basketball, football, baseball, etc. would probably be enough to end the stupid trend.
If that doesn’t do it, then like someone else mentioned, blacklisted at Ticketmaster would be enough.
I don’t think calling the cops is needed unless there’s physical abuse.
Or just don’t be an idiot and throw objects in crowded public places?
Should have just hit her with a car, she ded, he free.
When’s the give send go campaign?
Charles Burgess, 32, from Dayton, Ohio, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly throwing an object at the Dallas Wings v New York Liberty game on 5 August, New York police said. The object hit a 12-year-old girl, and Burgess was charged with two counts of assault. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Burgess had an attorney.
A grown-ass man acting like a teenager doing a senior prank, presumably because he wanted to look cool in front of the other misogynist dipshits who think a woman’s value is tied to their sexuality, is peak 2025.
Apparently the people who started this whole thing were doing it as a publicity stunt promoting a crypto coin. So if it wasn’t already bad enough…
I hope they throw the book at him as hard as he threw the dildo at that girl 😡
So this is what growing up watching youtube does to a generation…
Not sure why the downvotes. Social media, especially YT, platforms these horrible people that actively twisted a generation into complete assholes.

Idk if they stick or not but they should grill him with sexual harassment charges and make an example of him, this behavior needs to stop. No plea deal that drops those charges either.
Would be nice. And then national coverage showing that POS as a registered xex offender.
Worse yet, register them as a Xexex offender.
So what about all the stuff that is shown to the public at Pride parades?
Seems like a slippery slope imo
Edit: I’ll be extremely clear, if you cheapen what sexual harassment means, it opens the door for bad actors to use it against things you probably don’t want to get labeled sexual harassment.
Im pretty certain theres a big enough difference between a parade celebrating a sexual identity and a basketball game. Besides they’re already criminalizing the LGBT community, it’s not like that box hasn’t been opened, so the least we can do is prevent children at basketball games from getting hit with sex toys to hype up a scam currency.
Yes the difference is there. But if you’re giving a special significance to the dildo, be prepared for the jurisprudence to be twisted into something you really much don’t want.
Maybe don’t label it sexual harassment is all I’m saying.
Let’s not believe every hyperbole we read on the Internet
Media reports on the disturbances have tied the toy-throwings to a group involved in a related cryptocurrency meme coin.
There was a time when this would have surprised me. Not anymore
Neat, sounds to me like this was a crime for the benefit of a gang and everyone even tangentially involved should have all their assets seized and get imprisoned for things members of their group did whether they were directly involved or not
Yes, a crypto group has claimed credit for the fad trying to promote a meme coin. Talk about absolute dirt bags.
Seems like a somewhat valid use for RICO, moreso that what it’s usually used for…

Idiot.
They should take it as a huge honor since the last dildo throwing fad was directed at Tom Brady, arguably the greatest athlete to dominate their sport in the history of sports. These dildos must be paying homage to the WNBA greats. /s
Dude looks the part. Big time loser energy.
