There were no tears. She wasn't actually crying. Just like she wasn't actually in need of help when she casually, almost in a bored way, yelled "help" in a weird expressionless way while looking right at one of the kids. |
Standing up for yourself in a calm way (yes, she stays calm) is not "welcoming confrontation." |
Watch the video. She is sitting on the bike. 20 second into the video, he uses his phone to unlock the bike. Where is she "stealing" the bike. |
| Clearly the overlap of people sympathizing with the woman here and people cheering killing black people with headlocks on the subway is near 100%. |
You clearly never watched the video and are instead trolling. She was never physically forced to do anything. |
NP We don’t know if she was “welcoming” it, which is way different than being sick of putting up with other peoples ridiculous sh¡t. I’m guessing the former is more likely. |
There’s nothing in the video that makes them problematic. Either the guy had rented that bike or he truly believed he had. None of the men did anything but ask her to give up the bike one of them had rented. They didn’t threaten her, curse her out, call her names or physically assault her. Her questionable crying was the only indication that she was scared. She ignored the obvious solution, which was to rent another readily available bike. She never once disputed that the guy had rented the bike and claimed that she had. |
If anything, she's trying to physically force him off the bike, but DCUM doesn't want to see that because white woman solidarity is incredible. |
DCUM is full of people who never think they are the problem. |
Then first time I watched this video, I actually assumed I was being told the truth that she was stealing the bike, was fake crying, and was another racist "Karen" trying to endanger black men. Then I watched it again. It's not what happens. The "if she was being threatened, she would have left" line is so similar to what people say about abuse survivors ("if she didn't want it, she wouldn't have worn a short skirt" "if he was beating her, she could have left him"). |
Is this what you always do when you’ve been proven wrong? Bring up a completely unrelated set of facts to muddy the water? |
It’s that DCUM critical thinking skills a poster mentioned. |
He isn't on the bike. She is sitting on the bike. How can she force him off a bike she is sitting on. |
Yes, she’s trying to force him to let go of the bike he tried to cut in line to take from her. What’s your point? |
Same. Especially because, I agree, she doesn’t seem genuinely distressed. And she probably wasn’t. But she was standing up to people bullying her. Not a thief. |
