ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 Greta seems to be making a whole case on the fact that the woman should get a free pass because of her gender and/or that she was the weaker party of the two. Not because she is a woman, but yes, because she is the weaker party. Nothing to do with gender. I believe the strong should protect the weak period. It's not so difficult to understand. If the weak attacks you and did not harm you, show mercy or teach the weak a lesson in a non-violent manner, be the better person. Regardless of gender. Men to men, same shit. Women to women, same shit. I expect the strong not to abuse their strength and power. What kind of lessons are you teaching your kids, if you are gonna show a kid this video and tell your kid that, if a weaker person hits you, please make sure you hit them back 10 times harder . Because every person here who says she deserves what she got, is practically teaching that lesson. Seriously, if this was a puny man attacking a big giant of a man. And then the giant of man punches him as brutally as what this guy did. I would be just as disgusted at the giant man. And puny men have been known to be bullied by bigger fellows and lost it and go attacking the bigger fellow, even though no use and defeated. Am I gonna condemn the puny man? No! End of the day, we don't know what set the woman off. She was screaming, "What did you do?" So the big question is, WHAT did he do? Did he kill her cat maybe? I mean, there is no way that guy was a good guy, especially how he went after the innocent by-standing woman who was just coming to help the fallen woman. And by the way, that woman is fuckin' brave to risk her life like that. Perhaps your reading comprehension needs adjustment Greta. Yes, the strong should protect the weak - that's called chivalry and something I support. However, if the weak decide to launch an attack on a stronger opponent, that, in and of itself, is no excuse for leniency or defence. In your example of the puny man, if he were the starter/agressor then he deserves as much punishment as the other who retaliated. If the bigger guy picked on the smaller one, yes, he is being a bully and should be chastised and dealt with as such. But the other way round (as in this example)? Then no, the agressor doesn't get a free pass. You should be condemning every person that resorts to violence, not just defending those that happen to be weaker. It doesn't matter what happened or what the fuck he did to piss her off; that is no excuse to launch into a violent attack. That's my argument with your stance.
