“A Boulder man was arrested early Thursday after police said he crashed a memorial service, grabbed the breast of the deceased woman’s sister and showed her mother pornographic pictures. Marlos Hernandez, 31, faces possible charges of unlawful sexual contact, first-degree burglary and harassment after police said he entered a memorial gathering in another unit of his apartment building that had started Wednesday evening and extended past midnight… The deceased woman whose life was being celebrated Wednesday hasn’t been identified. Details of her death aren’t known. Her mother, who hosted the memorial gathering, told police she didn’t know Hernandez but wasn’t suspicious when he came into her home because lots of people she doesn’t know have paid their respects, Huntley said. Upon entering the apartment, Hernandez went first to the kitchen and put his arm around the deceased woman’s teenage sister ‘as if to comfort her,’ Huntley said. But the woman told officers it made her uncomfortable. ‘Then he reached down and grabbed one of her breasts,’ Huntley said. The sister told police she didn’t want to start a confrontation, so she left the kitchen. Hernandez then went near a display of pictures and memories of the deceased and pulled out a cell phone, Huntley said. ‘She thought he was going to take a picture of the shrine with his cell phone,’ Huntley said. ‘But he showed the mother a pornographic picture instead.’ That, Huntley said, upset the mother and her guests, who forced Hernandez outside and started fighting with him. Police were called to the scene about 12:10 a.m., Huntley said. ‘Some people had some physical injuries,’ she said. All of them were minor.” — Rocky Mountain News (US)

In the mugshot of Mr. Hernandez you can see the visible effects of the “physical confrontation” that occurred after the, uh, uncouth incident. His shirt is torn. He has a cut on his forehead. He looks scuffed up. His eyes are bloodshot. It’s astonishing that none of the news reports mentioned alcohol. If the guy was drunk, you can pretty much imagine how it all happened. He crashed a party. Memorial service? It was in a private residence. It was after midnight. How was he to know? He probably just thought it was a subdued party that needed some livening up. And there’s nothing to inject life into a party like, say, groping a teenager or passing around some mobile porn on a cellphone. “Mamacita, I have 2 Girls 1 Cup on my RAZR. Life is short. Want to see?”

That explanation seems pretty likely, especially if alcohol was involved. And if it wasn’t? Well, perhaps Mr Hernandez was aroused by the morbid atmosphere. Some guys get stiff at the sight of women crying. Or maybe he recalled that old maxim about there being “only one way to cure a widow” and failed miserably at his efforts to provide a little of that kind of solace to sister and mother. Or maybe he was entirely aware of how uncouth his behavior was and simply thought it hysterical. After all, a story like this divides the world into two sorts of people. One sort will identify with the aggrieved and say, “Oh, how terrible, how thoughtless, how insensitive…” The other sort will see the black humor in it. Typically the conjunction of sex and death is considered perverse — but it can also be very funny too.
