This “victim” created an incident by harassing people over unverified claims of racist remarks then escalates all the way to throwing the first punch.
I know a bully when I see one, and the bully got her nose broken for her effort.
And the part you left out - just before the 'victim created an incident', the male called her a n-word - twice - , then pushed her hard.
Wait, he pushed her. That counts as assault. He put his hands on her first.
Do you think a shove, when they had both closed the gap and were chest bumping each other, is the same as a punch?
Legally it’s not the same though both can fall into the broad category of battery.
Shut up jackass
Yea she definitely should’ve tried that tactic over eating punches until her nose broke.
Someone didn't love you right when you were little, did they?
Tut tut rule 1.
Both my parents loved me enough to teach me when to run my mouth, when to shut up and when to dodge.
I guess that girl wasn’t as lucky as me :)
If you put your hands on someone then they you don't get to complain when they put their hands on you.
He initiated physical contact with assault.
She walked right into him, initiating physical contact, and got the expected result.
The only surprising thing here is the lack of WORLDSTAR being screeched at maximum volume but I guess the tik tok generation do it different.
They weren't "chest bumping"
Closing a gap does not constitute battery
Yes, once you put hands on me, I can punch you in the face. That's the law. Under the law, and for good reason, her reaction is self defense.
One person's punch is not necessarily equivalent to another's, as we saw in this incident. I mean, turns out she needed to have used a more serious form of self defense here. So it's irrelevant whether it was a shove, a punch, a kick or whatever. He put hands on her first and she got the broken nose.
I know when black kids were mean to me in school, I retaliated by calling them the N-word.
Oh wait, no I didn't because I'm not a fucking racist.
No you probably cried about it on 4chan after slinking away.
Well that would be weird because I graduated high school in 1995.
Oh so you absolutely were a racist homophobic little shit but you can lie about it on the internet because the other gremlins didn’t have phones to record you.
Got it. You’re definitely innocent.
You’ve also never seen girls make up rumours to destroy another girl because she’s prettier or smarter or because Brad likes her.
Yep teenage girls are the most trustworthy people out there. Right next to random people on the internet.
Ok?
Oh I lost you because your memory doesn’t span past a three comment chain.
Well, you were there, so you would know.
