Sean Avery has shown time and time again he will do anything to be in the spotlight. This past Fourth of July weekend, he took that credo a little bit too far.
As you’ll see in the video below, Avery decides to wake up a group of homeless people and ask them for the time. It isn’t enough that he is harassing these people that are down on their luck, but he also feels the need to record it for everyone to see.

Somehow on Twitter he is trying to defend his actions. It isn’t about what he did to these people, just over the exact definition of what harassment means.
Next time someone asks me for the time while I'm standing on the street I'm calling the police….#Harrasement

Harassment (the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including THREATS and DEMANDS)

Everyone knows that Avery is a little off of his rocker. He never made the news for what he did on the ice but what he did off of it. Last we heard from the guy, he was trying to seriously be an actor and model. I don’t know if you can be a scumbag for a living but Avery is sure going to try.
Dave Lozo, our colleague at The Comeback, had the best comment of the day on Avery:

Bingo. Hopefully in the days ahead Avery gets a sense of common decency.
