exactly. 1/2 a second. he had it in his mind to do something before she pushed at the guy by the door. That's waaay too fast to be related to that incident. Unless he has some weird, lightening-fast ninja reflex.
It didn't take any ninja reflexes. He was standing right by her. Are you watching the video at all? I'm not trying to be a smartass, but first you said a few guys hit her when nobody did, then you said she was shoved for no reason like she was minding her own business when it happened after she hit the guy who was actually trying to look after her in the face, now you act like it either took some superhuman reflexes for him to shove her or that he was already going to do it. It was just a bang bang reaction. It's pretty clear if you watch it. What he had in his head is only speculation, but I'm sure they were all on edge and ready to react if something happened because of her behavior, so they were alert to her actions and the fast reaction is no surprise, but it wasn't even that fast. She hit the guy, then the other guy shoved her. No ninjas were required."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -
I see what you're saying but I still don't like any of it. I think the 40 second guy was taking advantage of the situation. it's weird that he went after her when she wasn't even looking his way. Really... what real harm could she have done? If she had a knife or something, I could see it, but she didn't, so I don't.
whatever. I wasn't there, I don't know. it was probably going on for a while before someone turned their phone camera on.
edit--ya, you are trying to be a smartass. I did watch the video and I'm commenting about what I think. sorry it doesn't agree with your opinion!0 -
I would have shook the shit outta her.And so you see, I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.0 -

I'm actually not trying to be a smartass, which is rare so give a guy some credit. I actually didn't know if you watched it all the way through or glanced at it or what. Just because of some confusion earlier, like saying people were hitting her and all that.covered in bliss wrote:I see what you're saying but I still don't like any of it.

I personally don't see the guy as taking advantage of the situation, all he did was shove her in the arm. It's not like he laid her out or anything. And it's not worse than any of the shit she was doing. She smacked a guy in the face and was spitting on people. And by the way, I don't think it's weird he shoved her while she was looking the other way, she was looking the other way because she just slapped a guy in the face.covered in bliss wrote:Really... what real harm could she have done?

Let me ask you this, and answer seriously. If some girl (or guy) hit you upside the face on a train and was spitting at you, would you be OK with everybody standing around and doing nothing just because she didn't have a knife? And would you just sit there and take it? Should they have just let her run wild spitting and hitting people just because she's a woman and they're men?covered in bliss wrote:whatever. I wasn't there, I don't know. it was probably going on for a while before someone turned their phone camera on.
A thought did occur to me, and I have considered there may be more to this, that maybe this video isn't showing the whole story. The video picks up once everything has started. Maybe they provoked her into that state, teasing her or making advances. I have no clue, I'm just going by what is shown. And from what is shown I see somebody who is out of control for whatever reason and they used (in my opinion) a reasonable amount of action toward her to end it. They even made sure she had her bags and were warning her about getting hurt by the train.
As for my opinion, I don't really mind if you disagree. You're in the minority (or by my count, the only one) here, so it's not like I'm just looking for somebody to agree with me. At first there seemed to be some confusion over the actual events in the video, and now I guess it's just a difference of opinion. I don't understand your opinion, though I'm trying to, but I'm not upset by it or anything. Just trying to have a discussion.
As for all the "who cares" talk (not from you bliss), who cares about half the shit we talk about on this board? It's a discussion about a current event, sure it doesn't affect the world, but neither does Pink Lemonade, Fros, Rollings lollipop avatar or Sexting, but we talk about it anyway, no big deal."See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"0 -

This underlined line is an outrageous statement to make! It's the harm that will continue to happen when people with your namby pamby attitude let this kind of shit in society go down because of "well she didn't have a weapon so no real harm was done"
What about the humiliation? I defended a middle aged man from a similar unprovoked attack by an equally wasted tramp a few months ago.The man was left with scratches,spit running down his clothes and face and his clothes disheveled in full view of people going about their day to day life.
I am a woman and if I had been there I would have beat the shit out of her.These men were over and above patient and I would consider because they were hyper aware that if they reacted in any violent way they would have been the ones up for questioning.
Men have a hard enough time with how they are expected to behave in society but when some whore like that comes along it must take them all their strength to stay calm and ignore the human instinct to defend ourselves from attack regardless if that attack is a knife,gun or a vicious tramp.
It is misguided and stupid of you as a human being for believing this type of behaviour does no harm.“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”0 -

This is a better video of the situation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQnJ6QEX27k
the drunk old woman was clearly in the wrong, I don't at all dispute that and I'm not even sticking up for her.
What I AM sticking up for, is not using violence in THIS situation. and stargirl 69, don't you for one second think that I would have stood by and did nothing here. I definitely would have tried to calm the drunk lady down. If that wasn't working and she was still smacking at people, I would have tried to pin her against the wall or ground or something. Hitting her would be wrong, without a doubt. --and I still think that one guy shouldn't have pushed her. Not the older guy in the suit, the younger guy. You can hear guys laughing and being sassy in the background so I highly doubt anyone on that train felt any type of humiliation. The drunk lady might have when she sobered up!
I applaud the young man that was taking the brunt of her wrath. HE is a true MAN in my eyes. He doesn't go after her, even after being spit at. There is also someone who is saying "watch out for her legs" while they are picking her up. He's either warning everyone because she's kicking or he doesn't want them to hurt her legs.
It was pointed out that I'm all alone on this one so I'm out. No one can change my mind. You talk about the downfall of society, stargirl... to me, it's because soooo many people today are selfish and incapable of feeling empathy. and again, I would have done something but it wouldn't have involved striking her. The woman's mind was obviously in a very bad place and yes, I do feel a little sorry for her.0 -
