New high-tech screener triggered fight over manhood insult

[Eric15210]

MAY 6--A Transportation Security Administration screener is facing an assault rap after he allegedly beat a co-worker who joked about the size of the man's genitalia after he walked through a security scanner. The May 4 confrontation involved Rolando Negrin, 44, and other TSA employees who had previously taken part in a training session at Miami International Airport, according to the below Miami-Dade Police Department reports. Negrin, pictured in the mug shot at right, and his co-workers had been training with new "whole body image" machines--the controversial kind that provide very revealing images of a traveler--when Negrin walked through the scanner. "The X-ray revealed that [Negrin] has a small penis and co-workers made fun of him on a daily basis," reported cops. Following his arrest, Negrin told police that he "could not take the jokes anymore and lost his mind." After work Tuesday evening, Negrin confronted fellow TSA screener Hugo Osorno in an airport parking lot. Negrin wanted to "resolve a problem," and get Osorno, 34, to "finally respect him." Instead, Negrin allegedly pulled out a police baton and began striking Osorno, while demanding an apology. A witness told cops that Negrin told Osorno, in Spanish, "Get on your knees or I will kill you and you better apologize." When Negrin, wearing his TSA uniform, arrived for work yesterday, he was arrested on an aggravated battery count and booked into the Miami-Dade lockup. Osorno, police reported, suffered "bruises and abrasions on his back and arms" during the attack.

I know I shouldn't laugh, ..but that is some funny shit!
While I don't condone his actions, I kinda feel for the guy.
It's bad enough he had to reveal his genitalia to his co-workers, but to be incessantly teased about his shortcomings? if he had been smart, he would have filed a sexual harassment lawsuit, and come away with a big payday.

Considering those pics you put up, you really should not be casting too many rocks.  At least this guy could hide his situation most of the time.

What are you talking about, our privacy is of "utmost importance" to the TSA..
Imagine what's going on behind our backs..

Whatever are you going on about? Who is casting rocks at the guy?
I think it's funny as hell that he beat the crap out of the guy!
I can just picture it in my mind, and it makes me laugh so hard, I could pee.

Personally i think he should have been smart about it.
This is the very definition of sexual harassment, one where his employer could not get around being a party to, Since it was they who through the screening exercise required him to put himself in that situation as part of his job, causing him to be subjected to repeated harassment by co-workers. It would have been open & shut. Instead he lost his cool.. 

I just wish they were security camera surveillance of the beating that I could see. oh poop, I'm laughing so hard, I can't even type straight. "I want an apology. BOOM!" ...and I can just see the other guy cowering as he got the snot beat out of him. not so big now. You just can't write shit this funny.

True.  He should have sued.
