What? Where does it say at all in the article that these woman were racist to the guys before being attacked?
Apparently the women started it, got hit, then the attack was over and everything was civil when police arrived
That isn’t indicative of an attack, and as highlighted above the damage done is pretty minimal for 10 on 2
However the side you take will change the version of events you believe. My point was just that the media is taking a biased approach to the story and could flip it the other way if they wanted
the article clearly says the men made sexually degrading insults to begin with. did you ignore that part?
Oh good so you caught the part where the article was displaying a bias
My statement wouldn’t have made sense if you didn’t
Did you catch the part where she says the men claim she started it and the media didn’t follow up on it?
so, in doubt, you side with the men?
Lol, I haven’t taken a side
I just pointed out a bias
we tend to show bias towards the victims. even if those women started it, they shouldn't have been beaten... by men. if you're a man, you don't touch a woman unless it's self defense.
you really come off as some kind of edgy teen douche. are you an edgy teen douche?
We don’t know who the victim is
All we know is the woman claims to be the victim and the men claim to be the victim
Equality, you don’t touch anyone unless it’s self defence
the victim is the WOMAN, how was beaten mercilessly by a GROUP OF MEN. jesus christ, people. only in a morally bankrupt society would this even be a question.
Weird then that you would advocate this
When presumably some of those people would be women
That guy is a troll, and he's not even good at it. The faux high road crap is giving him away.
because it's impossible that someone in the 21st century has actual morals? you people are fucked.
