On probation for what, defending herself? Fucking hell.
I'm all for violence when needed. It was not needed but certainly deserved.
Without getting all wrapped up in your beliefs, surely you can see how assaulting someone for showing pictures you don't like, even if they depict you, is not self defence.
That's following the same logic of Muslims attacking someone who drew the prophet being justified.
Him brashly showing naked pictures of her to people in front of her was sexual assault, meant to damage her mind/emotions/social connections.
Why are you only interested in the damage done to his body, and not the damage done to her life?
Why is her "option of last resort" use of violence not okay when ever other attempt failed to protect her? How else can she protect herself when literally everyone else refused to?
Bro the PC rot is real.
Sexual assault? The fuck?
I do not care about the damage done to him, I said he fucking deserved it.
Who the fuck said it's her last resort?
I'm talking from a legal stand point, it's not fucking self defence. It's certainly not sexual assault either. There's a serious misconception of the law on here. Your feelings are not reality, just because you feel so hurt by this story does not change the fact it wasn't self defence, that's my point.
Why do you think I have a horse in the race? Why can someone not disagree with you and be a reasonable person? You instantly assume I'm some sexist cunt.
I don't give a fuck about any of it really, it's a story about people I don't know in a country I don't live in. She is the victim absolutely, I'm all for her hitting him. But it's not self defence.. It's just not. Go study some law, any law from a first world country and show me one place that would be considered self defence.
It's child porn for fuck sake. The school did nothing and put her on the bus with him. What other option was she left with?
If it were my daughter I'd be proud of her.
Yep, I'd be proud of her too and support her all the way. You know what else I'd do?
Get her a fucking solictor because she just assaulted some kid.
Haha. Believe it or not I have actually pre-warned my kids that if they need to defend themselves physically to just press ahead and I'll pay for the solicitor after.
They're all incredibly good kids so I say that to them knowing it won't be abused but provides them with the confidence they'll be backed up and to stand up for themselves in the moment.
You must think you are really smart, don't you?
Smarter than the comment I replied to, and you, for sure.
