The guy said it best: No blame to the girls, the parents, or the police in following this up. The D.A. however that decided to press charges needs to grow a brain.

I pity some of you for living in such a paranoid state of mind.

If I'd stop and help a man, I'm sure as shit going to stop and help a woman. If they wanna lock me up for it, then they can try.
Of course, I'm not going to stop and offer a man a ride, so I'm in the clear.

I was broken down on the road today and a couple stopped about a hundred yards in front of me and had an argument about offering me help. I think the woman wanted to offer but the man didn't. It looked like it got pretty heated. However, I am 215 lbs and 6'4" haven't shaved in a week and I was in sweat shorts and flip flops. I wouldn't take my wife up to a man like that and offer a ride or anything.
Also, my iphone saved me because there was a little country gas station a mile from me as the crow flies. I would have had to walk 5 miles to the nearest exit.

I was in a traffic jam on an expressway interchange. This Older lady had broken down. Just as I past her I pulled over and asked if she needed a phone. Many older people don't have cell phones. To my surprise it was a gal that I had rented my condo too a few years before. I didn't recognize her at first. She did need the phone. Small world. Damn car were passing so close they could have caused an accident.
I do good acts without thinking of the consequences. Comforting to know God helps keep me safe.

It's a sad society we live in when offering someone a ride is seen as "creepy" instead of helpful. You have to be careful (the girls were right to refuse the ride), but I don't think you can go through life thinking every man is a potential sex offender out to get you... or treat him as such.
This is not that much different from the guy that was asked to switch seats with a woman on a plane because he was sitting next to an unaccompanied child. Is it right to treat men as potentially dangerous when they've done nothing wrong? It's not just insulting, but this type of treatment wouldn't fly with any other group.

...what would be the charge for "this guy fell just short of attempted kidnapping"?
Sometimes cops have to press charges short of what they'd like to, simply because they're not sure it will stick in court, even if they're 99% sure it was committed.
WTF... are you serious?
Not sure why anyone finds it odd that i'm not taking the media account as gospel and offering a plausible reason why the police may have done what they did.
Especially when we spend half our time here being skeptical of media sources, and i'm far from a police apologist.
It's entirely possible that the cop saw something (that isn't in the article or is contrary to the article) that made him think "Let me charge him with something minor just so i can bring him in, then we'll sort it out. If his story pans out, we can always drop the charge."
What the prosecutor does afterwards is on the prosecutor, not the police. And maybe the prosecutor also saw something. Or the prosecutor is the dumbass.

I'm a man; I'm not dumb - i wouldn't stop to help kids or even most single women unless they were within my dating range or much older than me. The only way I'd offer help is if I'm with another female. Men are dangerous and it makes sense for women and children to be leary.
Give up your man-card. What a ridiculous view of the world.
