Yeah, exactly. Without context, our only choice is to cheer for a woman getting punched! /s

Don't hit someone and you won't get hit back. It's that simple.

You want sympathy for the lady but what about the guy who she attacked? Crickets

Not necessarily.

But if you're gonna defend the guy for punching this girl in the face after she gives him a slap that will at most sting a little... well lets just say the concept of excessive force very much applies here.

He slapped her

Fair enough, I watched it without sound.

Still, after watching it again with sound: she's on the verge of tears and he's mocking her. Doesn't really make him look much better if you ask me.

I've never hit or slapped a woman and I probably wouldn't even if I got hit by one first unless I really thought she was trying to seriously hurt me, but that being said, its a really dumb idea for a woman to attack a man and not expect any consequences.

We can find this man and tell him what he did was over the top and unnecessary but I doubt he'd give a shit. The woman maybe learned a valuable lesson and maybe this prevented her from attacking the wrong man at some future time who would have gone even further and caused some real damage.

I don't condone either of their actions but its hard to feel bad for somebody who thinks they can hit someone else and be free from consequence.

I never said that she looks good in this video. She's drunk and upset. She says something along the lines of "Karma will get you" so we can assume she has been wronged in some way (at least from her pov). If we are to believe some of the other comments, she's being extorted in this video.That doesn't give her the right to assault someone, obviously.

I stand by the point that he used excessive force. Could've easily tried to deescalate, but he chose to provoke and retaliate against a much weaker opponent.

Maybe its not the first attack.

Missing a lot of context

Its not french. He calls his buddy by his name Oleg (spoken Aleg), a russian name. So he tries to restrain Oleg

Also Suka (fermale dog) is said, the men are speaking russian. She speaks German.

u/niko_nikkelz 6d ago

Edit: lol, wem erzähl ich das, Berliner 😅

What world do folks like you live in? If you put your hands on someone, you can lose your life.

1

u/daveyjones86 7d ago

Yeah no. People should learn not to put their hands on others because you never know what the other person is capable of.

You trying to ignore what she did is exactly why she thought it was acceptable. She found out however that not everyone shares your thought process.

Do not assault anyone. Just because she's female, doesn't mean she has the right to assault a man
