Crimson (Faced) Tide

     Is it just some intoxicated Alabama fans having fun at the expense of a barely conscious LSU fan on Bourbon Street...or evidence of a sexual assault?
     That may depend on the report you read. Here's WWL-TV's report on the incident at a Krystal following the Alabama victory...an incident being investigated by the New Orleans Police. Here's an AP report in The Tuscaloosa News.
     The Alabama fans toss food and trash on the LSU fan, stick fingers in his ears and nose, and then one man in an Alabama Jacket unzips and simulates a sex act, touching the unaware LSU fan with his genitals in the process.
     That WWL report does NOT include the video. You can however find it here and elsewhere online. The apparent Alabama fan is perfectly identifiable, though I have not seen him named anywhere so far.
     And here's a question: if the passed out LSU fan were a female, would there be any doubt that a crime occurred? So why not now?
