OT: Douche Canoe who yelled at Uber driver father under arrest in New York
We all remember michigan student and shithead Jake Croman going viral for yelling at an uber driver. http://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2016/03/university_of_mic…
I assume most also knew that his father was notorious slum lord in New York Steven Croman's son. Well Jake may have to wind up getting a job at uber and not sitting around on his ass watching tv because his father has been charged with 20 felonies. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/10/nyregion/steven-croman-regular-on-new…
Here's to hoping he never sees a dime of his fathers ill gotten money and actually has to work for something in his life. Maybe it will teach him some good things.
Ha! I thought Douch Canoe was actually his name. I kept thinking: "damn, what a terrible first and last name combo..."

Sometimes the magnitude of douchiness requires a vessel much larger than a simple bag, thus a canoe is used.
Had never thought the phrase needed a definition. Saw your definition. Stand corrected.
+1 accurate definition
+1 Informative
Implying that in some incredibly douchey situations, one might find themselves in need of a ....Douche Submarine...?
.
You know, only if things get reallly hairy..
Douche aircraft carrier, you say?
Fully operational Douche Star, anyone........?
I would have tried to create a Douche Star but don't have the resources to create such a graphic ...but I think you're on to something ...
But Alderaan is a peaceful vagina! It has no weapons, you can't possibly....
Would you prefer a different vagina, a military vagina? Then name the vagina!!!
A douche canoe, I assume, it just a normal canoe filled with vinegar and water?
I wonder how this suddenly became an acceptable everyday term in our language, like "sucks".
I overheard my daughter call someone a douchebag.
She's ten.
What?!?!
I resent anyone who was born on third base thinking they hit a triple.*
*except for Jed York. Caus you know Harbaugh.
Never heard this phrase before, but I like it. Very nicely stated.
very nice quote, sir!
Well, the sins of the father shouldn't be visited on ...
/ starts unbecoming fit of laughter /
(Are you kidding me? This is hilarious. Like Chris/Connor Cook-level hilarious. I hope the first thing the court does is says "freeze all credit card acounts".)
Is a douche canoe anything like a douchenozzle?
Why is this kids real name and family laundry being aired on this or any other website?
Is this the new norm?
I find it very odd that people find joy in this kids life being possibly ruined for one drunken diatribe. I find it even more odd that people are happy that his family may also be ruined.
This truly is a brave new world.
I think the father's dirty laundry is being aired independent of his son's actions.
Seems like dad maybe in deep doo doo.
The guy treated an Uber driver like a piece of human garbage and reveled in letting him know that he was "going to sit on his ass all day and watch TV" which he could only do on daddy's ill-gotten money (now hopefully gone).
I love ya Mr Dudeness but disagree with your take on this one. The kid was an entitled asshole and like they say - Karma's a bitch. And, FWIW, nothing in that video made me think he was drunk in the least. He was just being himself and by that I mean a complete and total asshole.
So we as a society should ruin his life? Make certain he can't get a job? Make sure everyone knows who he is and what he has done?
What sort of "adjustment" are we talking about exactly? Socioeconomic? I think that is extremely harsh.
What is the best way to change someones behavior?
Should he be publically beaten instead? Where is the line?
Wishing harm on the kid is a bit much, but I have no problem with a good ol 15 minutes of fame for him... The bad kind.
Honestly, this whole thing is good for him. Next time he mouths off to someone he sees as beneath him it could have ended with a beat down or worse. Let's hope he learned a lesson, and while I doubt his views will change I bet he keeps his mouth in check next time.

Exactly. I saw people on the earlier thread on this kid hoping he got arrested (for something) or kicked out of school or beaten, or whatever. Nah, that goes too far. But acting like a total asshole and having that made public? Yeah, I think that's good. In fact, we need more of that...
We could use a little more public shaming these days. Nobody has any shame anymore.
Yes, if "by making certain he can't get a job" means - "he may have to try hard to get a job without his father's influence". It may mean he has to work his ass off, maybe for free as an intern to prove he isn't a jackass. That kind of effort is reasonable.
America provides lots of second chances but you have to work for them. He is not a convicted felon and has no handicaps besides being an asshole. He could work his way through it, with "work" being a key word.
Most of us have made mistakes, some more public than others. So he justs needs to shut the fuck up and go to work.
Well maybe a few lashes with a cane like they do in Singapore.
The kid's life isn't ruined. I mean, if his father is convicted and sent to jail, that would probably have way more an adverse impact on his life than whatever this turns out to be. And again, you scream homophobic slurs on a public street while the guy you are yelling at has his phone out and pointed at you, you deserve what happens. And I hate to say it, unproven drunkenness isn't a defense.
And public shaming is actually pretty effective at changing behavior. Maybe he'll look at this instance and realize he doesn't handle situations well and strive to better control his anger, to figure out why he screamed homophobic slurs at a guy who didn't want to drive him somewhere, and improve as a person. Or he can file a frivilous police report claiming this driver made anti-Semetic remarks (even though nobody mentioned it at the time or seemed particularly disturbed by it) and try to blame the other guy.
KARMA...That is all.

This doesnt make much sense to me.
1. You say going to jail is his justice. Great. Then why post or talk about it? Heaping on?
2. What he desereved? Oh yeah, no justice has been handed out yet. Damn presumption of innocence! I guess it is there because of the mob mentality.
3. Regardless of all of this, who would it make "happy"?
