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.
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.

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’ve heard that too, but I refuse to buy it. They’re just misogynistic losers looking for their 15 minutes to exploit. It’s nice to see consequences though.
The NBA should hand out lifetime bans for any ‘fans’ who pull this crap at WNBA games.
Or Ticketmaster blacklist them… That would probably be much worse haha
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.
That’s definitely the wrong angle. This isn’t a sex crime, the existence of dildos doesn’t harm children, it just makes adults panic when they have to explain them an age appropriate way. You just have to tell them some people think they’re funny, but a lot of people think it’s rude. It’s that easy
This guy threw a heavy object into a crowd that included children, and hit a child. That’s child endangerment, battery, and probably a half dozen other charges. Someone could’ve died
This is a violent crime, not a sex crime. These are both serious things, but they must not be confused
So what about all the stuff that is shown to the public at Pride parades?
Seems like a slippery slope imo
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.
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…
The report said the Georgia man told police “this was supposed to be a joke and the joke [was] supposed to go viral.”
It’s nice to see many getting charged for doing this, and the articles about those charges being the thing going viral.

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
Should women start throwing smallest sized condoms at the mnba?
Facepalm. Now the girl would become gay and die from the covfefe-inducing vaccine!!!
That is just pathetic.

When’s the give send go campaign?
Dude looks the part. Big time loser energy.
That’s pretty funny, but the title makes it seem like he specifically targeted the girl.
It looks more like he threw it as a prank for the athletes, and it just so happened to hit a young girl.
No it’s pretty obvious that he wasn’t targeting the girl, we’re not saying he should be charged with various flavors of battery and sexual assault because we thought he meant it to hit her. And calling it just “a prank for the athletes” can fuck all the way off.

I know, right? It’s just like when people bring fleshlights to throw at NBA games because it’s a totally normal and not weird thing to do.
It’d be hilarious if people responded by doing that.
If you’re 10 years old, sure. Peak comedy.
Humor is subjective.
I’m sure you’d laugh at a lot of things that I’d consider childish and not funny.
It would probably put an end to the shenanigans quicker. Society seems to respond to shit when it starts to affect men (especially, rich) too, a little more promptly.
It doesn’t make it sound like he targeted the girl, it sounds like he was another idiot who thought he was the main character and wanted to mock women athletes.
He threw it to be an asshole. Pranks make everyone laugh.
Pranks make everyone laugh.
That’s most certainly not true.
Then it’s not a prank. It’s Being an assshole
Only reason people say otherwise is self appeasement or bad parents.
Not really, but believe whatever you want.
“Everyone laughing” is an unreachable metric.
No. I believe in facts. Fact is some one being an asshole, is an asshole, no matter what term you’d give them to hide under.
So. Again. He was being an asshole, not playing a prank.
Ok, buddy.
There’s not a single prank that everyone will laugh at, but keep believing what you want.
Sorry, just to drive the point further home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_joke
No mention of laughter even being a factor. You can edit the article if you’d like to change that.
Also, this is a really good fucking prank:
Thus most practical jokes are affectionate gestures of humour and designed to encourage laughter.
So your issue is parentage then.
And if you act cruelly to one person simply so you and perchance another bystander can laugh at them, then I’d say you’re just proving the point, and you hang out with shitty people.
Is it? Or maybe you’re an asshole too…
Why is it funny? Because they do it exclusively at women’s sporting events?
I’m really curious to hear from people who think this is funny to find out why they think that.
Because dildos are funny and interrupting sporting events is hilarious.
I don’t care if it’s a women’s or men’s event.
Well, that’s the joke. They’re doing it exclusively to women athletes, so you’re saying you think that’s funny.
🥱
Arguing with you people is exhausting.
Keep believing whatever you want.
throws heavy object into dense crowd of people
I didn’t mean to hit anyone, it was just a joke!
