Rub-A-Dub-Dub ... Escorts In A Tub

One night, after partying together at a South Carolina gay bar—and yes, there are gay bars in South Carolina … or there is gay bar … I digress—three men went out for a little, um, hot tub fun.

Eighteen-year-old Austin Adams [below right] and 33-year-old Michael Gordon [below center] went together to that Spartanburg nightclub, where they met 21-year-old Douglas Tench [below left], who had come down from Charlotte to go to that club in Spartanburg.

After several drinks Tench left  with Adams and Gordon, for a home in Boiling Springs—and the hot tub in Boling Springs … you cannot make this stuff up—where Gordon was dog sitting; the three men began to, ahem, “enjoy each other’s company” in said hot tub. But the party ended when the three men started to quarrel … over which one was the higher paid escort.

Oh, but they did. Adams told the arresting deputy that he “lost control” when Tench “stated he got paid more for his escort services than Adams.” Adams admitted to hitting and kicking Tench while they were in the hot tub before Tench jumped out of the hot tub and ran to a house across the street, where he called a friend who, in turn, dialed 911.

After confessing to assaulting Tench, Adams asked the deputy to “just arrest him and get it done with,” and so he was charged with simple assault; Gordon and Tench were also arrested for providing alcohol to a minor escort.

Lesson to be learned: don’t brag about your escort coins in a hot tub with other escorts?

That’s all I got.

Texas Jury Says It's OK To Kill An Escort Who Takes Your Money And Doesn't "Deliver"

Ever since moving to this Little Red State, I have often been heard to exclaim, well, shriek, It’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity in regards to South Carolina and its politics and bigotry and, well, stupidity. But I am proud to report this morning that we ain’t got nuthin’ on Texas. 

I posted yesterday about Skye Wyatt from Texas, whose high school coaches outed her to her mother, who sued the school for violating Skye’s privacy. And then a court declared that Skye isn’t entitled to privacy, at least in regards to her sexual orientation.

Yeah, sometimes it’s just stupidity.

Like this case: a jury in someplace called Bexar County, Texas—quick Google search shows it’s the county includes San Antonio—has just acquitted one Ezekiel Gilbert of murder. Gilbert—who admitted to the shooting—had been accused to gunning down 23-year-old Lenora Ivie Frago, an escort whom he found on Craigslist, back in 2009. But, Gilbert says he had a right to shoot Frago because he paid her $150 to have sex with him, and then she refused and wouldn’t return his money. he says he didn't mean to kill her, he just wanted his money back, you know, so he pulled out a gun and shot her.

Yes, that’s the case and verdict. In Texas, Ezekiel Gilbert was acquitted of murdering an escort because she refused to give his money back. See, in Texas, where it is the stupidity, there is a law which allows for the recovery of property by “law abiding citizens” if the crime takes place at night.

The prosecutors argued that the law was not intended for someone trying to force another person into an illegal act such as prostitution but the Texas jury felt Gilbert was justified in murdering a woman because she kept his ‘money for sex’ and didn’t give him the sex.

Ezekiel Gilbert, after the verdict:

“I sincerely regret the loss of the life of Ms. Frago. I’ve been in a mental prison the past four years of my life. I have nightmares. If I see guns on TV where people are getting killed, I change the channel.”

Too bad Ms. Frago won’t ever have the option of changing a channel on a TV again, and too bad her murderer goes unpunished because, apparently, in Texas, it’s perfectly legal to kill a prostitute if she takes your money and does not perform the sexual act.

Yeah, it’s just the stupidity, with or without the heat.
