Yeah, this looks like it exonerates her. Weird how the sister supported the PA unintentionally. |
Um but he did assault her. “Docked the bike with her on it.” |
This isn't what is clear. There was another young man on a bike pulled out and I wonder if he put his bike back in the dock for her to rent as he wasn't participating and he was on his phone looking down and made some comments to the others to back off. |
Technically yes, he did assault her and was aggressive toward her but overall they don't appear like they intended to harm or attack her (he was still absolutely in the wrong to grab the bike with her on it). I don't get why she (if what the sister is saying is true) would take this bike if he was holding onto it vs. another bike but maybe there was no other bike. |
The receipt shows she rented the bike for one minute, and that's consistent with her renting it and then him shoving it back into the dock with her on it. She has another receipt for a second bike she rented a few minutes later to get home. |
The sister is young, didn't think it through, probably didn't talk to an attorney and did a video trying to defend her brother. Taking her story as fact, it is clear he wasn't renting the bike at the time (but planned to rent it at some point). It all makes sense as both stories kinda aligned but didn't. |
She rode home on a different bike. I presume/hope it was another electric bike, but I don't know that for sure. So yes to what you're saying, this bike must have looked untended to her. |
They both felt entitled to the bike, for different reasons. The whole thing is stupid. |
He had to be close by if he grabbed her on the bike and shoved it back in that quickly. |
Agree. I wouldn't call it a misunderstanding but both were absurd. It had nothing to do with race. Wasn't racism. Both wanted a bike to ride and for what ever reason either no other bikes were available or what insisted they get that particular bike. |
The sister is an idiot who wanted a viral video |
This is a possibility. One of the guys definitely had reservations about what they others were doing. |
Yes. That is what I think too. The video does not show the whole dock but there is the one guy sitting on a docked ebike and one guy behind behind her on an undocked ebike. I don’t see any unoccupied ebikes. |
surprise |
The sister said she approached the man and asked to use the bike. He said no, she asked again and he said no. Since he wasn't renting it, she ignored him, rented the bike, and started to go home. He got mad, and grabbed the bike with her on it to dock it to claim it again as his. Technically this bike was free as he wasn't renting it. It's not clear if there were other bikes or if one was being docked or given to her by someone else to defuse the situation. |
