They are not kids. Stop giving them a free pass. They knew better. They knew exactly what they were doing by filming it and putting it online. These people act this way as parents and adults like you in their lives allow it. Grow up and parent your kids to act in a reasonable and responsible way. If these were what kids to a black woman you would not be giving those kids a free pass. |
She was probably advised against it by her attorney and job. Regardless of race she should press charges for grabbing the bike while she was on it to force her off. You think it was ok for those men to treat her like that. Or, you want to give them a free pass because of race? |
She didn't steal the bike. A misunderstanding means that people misinterpreted the situation, it happens every day. It doesn't mean she or they had to be criminals. The lawyer has likely already looked into much of it and has concluded and stated it was a misunderstanding. |
Exactly. She’s already been convicted of being racist when race was not a factor with her. If she presses charges it will get more attention and cause her more harm. This behavior is exactly how other groups terrorized their victims and people like her are being targeted and taught to keep their mouth shut and take the abuse. And, that is not a hospital anyone would want to work at. So, if you need medical care there don’t be surprised by wait times. |
I wasn't there. I didn't see what happened or was said before or after. I don't know what happened. She was there, she saw and heard and was involved in what happened before and after. She has released via her lawyer her version of what happened and that she doesn't feel charges are warranted as it was a misunderstanding. I do not think I know better than her what happened. |
No. Her lawyer concluded she will look like a racist if she goes after them. He is advising her not to because of that, and rightfully so. But he can’t say that, so he’s framing it as a “misunderstanding.” |
He’s suing media and big name twitter slacktivists, not the boys. Keep up. |
They are taking the high road. He forced the bike back into the rack with her on it. That is assault. Misunderstanding would be him nicely approaching her saying hey I rented this bike, here is my receipt, could I have my bike back please? If she refuses you contact customer support and get a new bike. You don’t grab a bike someone is on to shove it in the rack to demand the bike. You don’t scream nasty comments to her. She clearly rented that bike. The men refuse to step up which makes it more suspicious. She has no choice but to try to clean this up by playing nice. She’s not getting any support from the company, her employer or the police. She is on her own. And, the men who refuse to identify themselves have all the activists after her. |
She has no other choice. She is trying to save her job and life. What we know is one of the men grabbed the bike with her on it and shoved it back into the rack. We know they were saying pretty horrible immature things to her. Why would you grab a bike you don’t own with a woman in it? Just let her have it and get another. |
She could have gone to the police and charged them long before any video was posted or she was seen in any way. She is a pregnant woman attacked violently by a mob of men who intended to cause her grevious harm and terrorize and threaten her life and she just decided to get off the one bike, turn her back to someone who was the closest and worst of this violent, raging mob, and get on another bike right there? Does that really make sense? That is not how someone whose life and fetuses life are in mortal danger from a mob of men terrorizing and assaulting them acts. Did she call 911? Did her colleague and the other witness call 911 while the mob was channeling their rage onto her? Long before the video went viral, what was her response and the response of those around her to this terrorizing rage filled assault just outside her workplace by a threatening and malicious mob? Did she tell her workplace and security so they could protect her and others in coming or leaving work the next day? Did she call in and take leave to process the trauma? |
It’s funny how you believe the justice system would be totally fair to the woman in this situation when I am absolutely positive that you have posted ranting screeds in the past about how biased and unfair the justice system is. |
Well not, I haven't posted rants about the justice system but you think the justice system is skewed towards being fairer to young black men over white women? |
The misogyny is unreal. Your type also believes women whose skirts are too short deserved to be raped, or that women can’t be rape victims if they don’t fight back enough. It’s disgusting. |
Those young men assaulted a pregnant woman. They should be in jail. |
Stop making this about race. They should not get a free pass because of a flawed Justice system. She has been tried and condemned. This young man grabbed the bike she was on to push it in the rack with her on it. If she did that to him, you’d scream assault. |
