Black Man Praised After Slapping White Woman For Calling Him A ******

Who do you see here talking about the government?

"Hide behind" it, meaning you think you can say anything you want and no one will react to it.

Let me give you an example: if I walk up to you and call your significant other a nasty slutty bitch to her face, would that be a smart thing to do?

 

The consequences for speech are civil in nature, not violent vigilantism. In the realm of adults, no words, regardless of intent justify physical violence. I can call my boss whatever I want, and whatever is said does not justify physical assault. To allow some people to assault others, and then only for some words is hardly logical, nor in any way Constitutional...

 

That's why I said you can call your boss whatever you want, and he can call you "fired." That's a consequence.

This is not a difficult concept to understand.

 

Indeed. Hence she got slapped.

 

Well I don't agree, but admire the consistency, rarely seen among Democrat/LW posters here.

 

neah mate. A bully is a bully. There is such a thing as "asking for it".

Your boss will fire you on the spot, and have you physically removed, in a very unfriendly manner that have the possibility of causing bruises. In this case that the guy isn't her boss... it's settled with a slap.

 

This is about a physical assault on a person, tell me, how does anyone here know that victim of that thug assailant didn't have a condition? Either way, once you open that door, that its perfectly acceptable for some members of society to assault other members of society over a few words. In this case there is actually a video. Imagine how many assaults wouldn't go unrecorded. Justifying violence against people is not the answer...

 

You're the one justifying physical abuse over words, not me...

 

You didn't mention govt, I did. I was pointing out that supporters of free speech are primarily interested in the legals thereof.

Well, HE wouldn't like being called a nasty bitch, but he wouldn't slap you. He isn't anywhere near that stupid or unhinged, and believes in your right to say whatever you want. He's a grown up. So it would only be un-smart in the sense that it would make you look stupid.

 

She got slapped because a 'man' responded to her insanity like an 8 year old child, not because of what she said.

 

He doesn't have to slap you to point out how words have consequences. He can just not speak to you anymore or break up with you. That's a consequence.

 

You can't understand simple ideas like just because you can doesn't mean you should. You're a fully functioning adult I assume, you should know this by now.

 

That's a non-violent response to unacceptable words. And perhaps an illegal one ... bringing us back to the legal implications.

 

It's exceptionally obvious she got slapped for what she said. lol

 

What? Now you're making no sense. One minute a random stranger (you) is 'insulting' my husband, and the next minute he (my husband) is 'breaking up' with me?

 

It's okay to talk about how adults should act in a civil manner, and how it's so bad to strike another person, or how cowardly it is. I mean, in a perfect world, sure, people should behave perfectly. But, this is far from a perfect world. People are emotional beings, they often get upset when they're attacked, verbally or physically. Get people p!ssed off enough and we even see men, or women, arranging for the murder of their spouses. Or. sometimes they cut out the middle-man and do the freaking job themselves. Talk about DIY. Lol...

When people become angry their actions cannot always be predicted. And this incident took place on a city bus. The people involved were not thinking about the laws, or the Constitution, or the stretched out arguments people in this thread are dreaming up.

The lady said things she KNEW would push the man's buttons. She intentionally said things to anger him. Do that, and you should expect some kind of retaliation: words, or action. She was begging for a knuckle-taco, and she got one. She got her wish. Maybe the man should be thanked.

 

It's very offensive. But, it says more about the person dishing it out than receiving it, but I still wouldn't make someone "eat their teeth" because of it. I'd be upset no doubt, but I'd never resort to violence. My wife would laugh it off.

 

So she got slapped. Big deal. Maybe she started the incident. If she did then the guy showed a lot of restraint because if he had been mean he could have simply followed her and taken her out in private. So she got off lightly and now she (and others) needs to learn to zip her lips instead of instigating violence by calling people offensive names. Next time the offended person might not be so gentle and understanding.

If you think she was right do what she did and tell us the consequences.

 

Only in the sense that it was a trigger. But the slap happened PURELY because the 'man' isn't master of his own emotions and actions. I've been called racist epithets many times ... and so has my husband. Neither of us have ever responded with violence. To imagine that you can get through life amongst a broad array of humanity, without ever encountering racist nutbars, is absurdly naive ... to start with. But to imagine you can 'fix' them with your personal violence is the pinnacle of absurdity.

 

It's all hypothetical.

 

Not if you work in an at-will state.

 

You don't say.

 

You didn't know the example i was giving was hypothetical?

 

I think debating abstracts is not particularly relative to this thread. I mean this case like the Nathan Damigo case is quite specific with video and it's unique circumstances.

Under THIS cases specific circumstances I find the man's action untenable. And since no one on the bus chased his punk arse off the bus and gave him a good thrashing I still believe he's in need of a head check.

I was literally raised being taught that a good arse whoopin never hurt no one namely my little miscreant butt lol. Eeeeee that look in my mother's eye when I intentionally did something worthy of a thrashin

Not here though and not this case.

Prosecute him. Won't be anything but misdemeanor assault and perhaps will give him pause next time before resorting to violence when insulted verbally.

 

It is rather obvious the bully does not have Tourette.
Tourette is a disorder that goes with an uncontrollable tic.
She was in control of what she said. So you can drop that excuse.

She got slapped. That is it. It wasn't a fist to the eye knocking her unconscious.
And this level of "violence" is the answer to the behavior of a bully.
