A Belt is not a Dangerous Object?

Demonstrating that lawmakers in Georgia are not the only ones confused, an American citizen just lost his court battle in Switzerland against a member of the ruling family of the United Arab Emirates. Why? Because a belt is apparently not a "dangerous object."

Al Nahyan, brother of the UAE ruler, was convicted in July of hitting Silvano Orsi, 40, of Rochester, New York, with a belt after the American declined a bottle of champagne the sheik offered him in a luxury Geneva hotel bar in 2003. Al Nahyan was fined 10,000 Swiss francs ($9,820).

But in March a Geneva appeals court quashed the conviction of inflicting bodily harm with a dangerous object on the grounds that the belt wasn't dangerous.

Al Nahyan whipped Orsi across the face with the belt. But! Not a a dangerous weapon, says the court. To add insult to insult, the court ordered Orsi (the American) to pay court costs. The court also held that Orsi did not have standing (drink!) to challenge the sheik's acquittal.

I think the lesson here is that when a rich momma's boy sheik who is clearly compensating for something (and violating his own purported religious precepts) offers you champagne, you say "yes."

4 And then there is this from the article -

"Geneva's chief prosecutor, Daniel Zappelli, has said Orsi's injuries and post-traumatic shock from the beating in August 2003 left him incapable of working."

Can they both go to jail for being wankers?

Actually, I think that the lesson here is that the proper response to being hit with a belt by a rich momma's boy sheik is to take that expensive bottle of champagne and shove it up his squeekhole.

I love lawsuits as much as the next mook, but the only manly response would have been to beat that sheikh senseless when he lashed out with the belt. 

And then drank his champaign. 

And slept with all his women.

14 The Arab/Muslims are so thoughtful sending over a bottle of champagne.  The whole belt across the face thing was just a minor misunderstanding.  Cause they are the religion of peace.

Love or lust, Obama and the fawning press need to get a room

So far, this is all about image and character and press "opportunities." But with what CNN financial reporter Elizabeth Cohen called this morning "gazillions of dollars" of our money at stake and crazy people with nukes bristling from around the edges of the world, we can't afford not to keep a closer eye on the substance thing.

 

Note to Obama: People are starting to notice the media heads that are sticking out of your pocket.

38 It might have been satisfying to Orso to beat the crap out of the little pissy boy sheikh, but the reality is, Sheikh Al-Goatfakr probably had a dozen bodyguards standing around.

The whole story.

 

At a closed-door hearing in March, the sheik acknowledged they got into a heated scuffle when he overheard someone remark that "this sheik is gay." But he insisted he never struck Orsi, either with his fists or his belt, nor arranged to pay him $13,000 in hush money.

Orsi, a son of Italian immigrants who grew up in suburban Rochester, said he was sipping fruit juice while chatting in English and Italian with a Saudi friend near the bar at the posh La Reserve hotel when a passer-by dressed in casual shirt and jeans asked where he was from.

The stranger offered him something to drink and Orsi declined, saying he didn't drink alcohol, yet the man soon sent over a bottle of Dom Perignon. Orsi said he politely waved his thanks but left the champagne unopened on the table because he was worried the offer was a ploy to force a confrontation.

A quarter-hour later, Orsi alleged, the man suddenly came up behind him, jostled his glasses, sat in his lap and tried to kiss and fondle him. When Orsi protested, he maintained the man became violently angry, threw him to the floor, punched and stomped him, smashed his glasses underfoot, then removed his belt and whipped him with the metal buckle.

All the time, Orsi said his attacker was yelling abuse, saying at one point that "no stupid American or Italian is going to tell me what to do!"
