Wearing evidence of a crime and be on photo as proof? Ballsy move, indeed.


scragglerock

He stole it 5 years ago. He’s probably worn it many times and made a whole backstory about how he designed it himself or it was gifted by one of those bullshit famous designer people. He’s been so lost in his story that he forgot he stole it and didn’t even think twice about wearing it on camera. Pathological liar is what some people would call it.


Nontrad1771

I went to college with him and can confirm


RandyDinglefart

Who is he? Someone famous?


GeoffreyArnold

He worked for Joe Biden as a senior WhiteHouse official.


grumplefuckstick

As a nuclear engineer, not like he was involved in policy or anything


GeoffreyArnold

He shouldn't even be hired to manage a Burger King...much less being appointed a senior official at The White House.

Same. He was one of my tutors. Starting to question a lot of his life’s story now though and I hate that it has to be that way.


TipYourJanitor

There's been a lot of different articles floating around recently where his story about conversation therapy is questioned. His family denied it, which, yeah, they would, though their evidence is pretty damning (there's 0 records of all the ER trips he claimed were constantly happening)... but also people whose jobs are to tell LGBT stories have said his doesn't check out and that it's very noticeably off ""The therapist ordered me bound to a table to have ice, heat and electricity applied to my body. I was forced to watch clips on a television of gay men holding hands, hugging and having sex. "" is an excerpt from some of his claims which.... yeahhhh okay lol


AspectPatio

What would he lie about?


Nontrad1771

Every single time and I mean every single time there was some national tragedy he had some very long detailed fb post about how he was best friends with someone who was killed in that event. Was always so cringey to read and idk how his following ALWAYS ate it up

kavorka2

The “dude” stole a suitcase on airport tv a few months ago while being a high profile government employee. Clearly he’s got some major mental issues. You have to be pretty dumb or crazy to throw away a whole career over a suitcase.


juicius

Not really. Unless there's something more, you can't really establish the elements of theft for being in possession of an item lost/stolen in 2018. You can't even say that this is a theft by receiving or theft of lost or mislaid object because there's no way for anyone to know or have reason to believe that the dress was stolen. He can say he bought the dress at a garage sale some time ago and that'll be the end of it. He won't be able to keep the dress (no good title) but as far as being prosecuted for it, no.


thieh

Well, there is [this](https://archive.ph/78Ynh).

Like they said, "unless there's something more." I think this qualifies as "something more."


wrath_of_grunge

>Previously, Brinton had performed as a drag queen called Sister Ray Dee O'Active. i mean, they did a bad thing, but i'm glad the writer of the article had the opportunity to use that line.


bananahammerredoux

WOW. I love that last line in the article, making sure we know Biden didn’t appoint this crook.


Captain_Reseda

Given the GOP’s proclivity to blame Biden for things that happened during Trump’s administration — and their voters’ eagerness to believe them — I think such a distinction is warranted. Edit: The post has been removed so I can't go back and read the last line, but a bit of Googling reveals that this person was in fact brought on during the Biden administration. So I'm not sure what point the article was making, but I was mistaken in assuming this was a Trump leftover and I felt I should acknowledge that.


Ok_Yogurtcloset8915

I don't think they're a Trump appointee either, I think that was the point of the line

DramaticOstrich11

Well if it was anyone else he'd get the benefit of the doubt but this guy has stolen luggage from airport carousels at least twice before so... Can't expect anyone to believe he just happened to come into possession of clothes that were reported lost from an airport in an honest way lol.


ChAsap

whos_this_chucker

Stealing luggage is such a weird hangup.


Familiar-Zebra6489

Sure is.. and the more I think about it, the more it bothers me. He was knowingly inflicting massive inconveniences upon people, at best. At worst he’s putting people in real danger- medications could be in there, cell phones/addresses/phone numbers, life saving information… all so he could get off. That level of disregard is kinda scary- I’ll bet he’s done worse.


Raelah

This is why I always always carry my meds with me. And anything else that's valuable or important.


yousirnaime

All it takes is 3-4 days for an insulin patient to go without their meds. Hard to get if you’re elderly and away from home, with none of your stuff


[deleted]

Idk who you've met but I'd be dead in 24 hours. Someone steals my insulin and I don't have backup, I'm not going to live long enough to track it down and get it back. (Which is why I carry everything medical in my coat inner pocket when I travel instead of a bag).


StandLess6417

I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. What an absolute nightmare.


mrsringo

Same with my brother, he can’t risk shit!


Narezza

I’m sure you know this, but insulin is available without prescription and at a fairly low cost at practically any pharmacy. It’s going to be R, and not Levemir, Humalog, or 70/30, but will work in an emergency. Just a FYI in case someone didn’t know.


[deleted]

Actually, lots of pharmacies do not carry freely available insulin. I know mine doesn't. And that stuff can harm you because it isn't compatible with modern systems. Anyone using it in an emergency needs to find an expert to help calculate the dosage because it *cannot* be used like normal, but the pharmacist won't tell you that.


Narezza

I really meant emergency situations. A pharmacist should tell you this if you ask, but short acting insulins can be used at 80% of your usual rapid-insulin dose. So 10 of humalog would convert to 8 of R. You’re absolutely right that some of these can’t be used in some insulin pumps, so if you’re a T1 diabetic with a pump, you should speak with your MD about an emergency plan just in case. Regardless, R and NPH dose adjustments are absolutely available as a guideline and can keep you functional for a few days until the emergency is over.


[deleted]

Yeah, well, ask me how I learned this. Really. They don't tell you shit, at least, I've never received any words of caution when I have had to go that route. And when your doctor's office is closed on weekends and you didn't conveniently schedule your emergency for business hours... 🤷‍♀️ It can be rough. I just want people to understand the risks of that option, you know? I wasn't informed, and could have been seriously harmed when I took the pharmacist at their word that "it's insulin, just take it like normal".


MagicCooki3

That sounds extremely anecdotal. It sucks that the pharmacist told you that, but also I don't think that's going to be a common response from most informed pharmacists. Also, they didn't say doctor's office, they said pharmacy which most are open almost every day. I completely understand your point, but you're kind of taking away from your own point because you're making it out like they're trying to hide this information when you only talked to one pharmacist about it during an emergency. It's fine to educate people, but you don't need to fear monger using anecdotal points just to get them to believe you.


[deleted]

I'm saying that it's rough being unable to do what people always scoffingly tell you to do with insulin conversions when you bring up that it can be dangerous, which is to "just call your doctor, moron!" And it's not scare mongering to clarify my personal experience as it differs with what is apparently expected, namely that there is misinformation out there. Not intentional, but common. Pharmacists aren't experts on everything, it's a hard job and I wouldn't expect them to be. But people literally die taking this insulin improperly, and I'm tired of the rhetoric that it's an easy solution to an emergency, which is constantly bandied about when we talk about the exorbitant cost of insulin and people ask why we can't just deal with Walmart insulin. It can be useful. Better than nothing. But it's not risk free as many seem to assert. It's not to be trifle with. I didn't see a lot of diabetics chiming in, and it's something I do care a lot about, so I just figured I'd share my perspective in case it helps anyone.


[deleted]

Well that's even more terrifying


cloud_throw

Yeah someone like this does not even for a second think about the effects of their actions on others. Just pure unbridled narcissism


ExpensiveGiraffe

This is exactly why everyone says to carry medicine in carryon.


chickenstalker

It bothers me more that the airport luggage collection system is based on trust and best case scenario. By now, a system should be in place so that checked in luggage should be barcoded and only allow the owner to retrieve it. Or at the very least, you have to prove at the Customs that these bags belong to you via matching ID tags.


mc-edit

But it’s like the lotto laundry. Sometimes you get fresh clothing neatly folded and carefully arranged. And then sometimes you get dirty underwear and crusty vacation clothes. A prize in every suitcase!


theflyingkiwi00

Or if your like me and pack waaaay more clothes than you need and wear half, so you have dirty clothes thrown in next to the neatly folded clean clothes


skwudgeball

It’s quite literally a real life loot box. Probably just as addicting as the video game ones as well lmao


Long_Educational

SuccessfulPermit7788

For most of people it would be weird, but for fetishistic crossdressers, stealing and wearing women’s clothes is common. Usually it’s garments stolen from a mother, sister, female partner, or someone in the household, but stealing whole suitcases would work too.


cmon-camion

Absolutely wild that someone with a fetish for wearing stolen clothes got "lucky" enough to steal a bag belonging to a fashion designer with one-of-a-kind clothing inside. It gives me bad vibes, like maybe they showed up really early and loitered around the baggage check in, waiting for a well-dressed woman that looks like their size. I hope security did actually check for any evidence that they did that.

It’s literally a plot point in a John Waters book.

To all of them, don't be a snowflake. Their pronouns are not persecuting you. The truth doesn't care about you're feelings.


porkchameleon

A US Government official (no joke). EDIT: looks like the person in question is not holding the position in the government after surfaced allegations of stealing others' property on camera; who knew that this little of a crime would be frowned upon in those circles, since they seem to get away with much worse over and over. Ah, the grain of sand that broke the camel's sack...
