Yes why is this victim not responding more gracefully to these bullies?

Why is that bully crying and screaming? While the victims try to calmly speak with her.

I love how mad you are. I love it.

I love how mad you are that people are questioning you. I love it.

because she was on it and trying to rent it while being physically blocked. The lady just worked a shift, FFS let her go home. Young healthy kids can walk or get a different bike.

Nah, you don't get to act like a lunatic and expect people to be nice to you.

Can someone explain what you are supposed to do if someone walks up and tries to physically shove you off a bike you are renting while their friends surround you, laugh at you, and start filming you?

Like is your only option to just get off the bike, let them have it, and not complain or speak of it? Is that the only way to avoid being accused of weaponizing your tears, being called racist, or people claiming you are trying to get the people who bullied you off the bike shot or arrested?

I'm just trying to figure out if this woman had ANY options that would be deemed acceptable other than just letting these kids take the bike and walking away. I think the answer is no.

Asking for help and fake crying aren’t helping her case.

Ok. If you were in the process of renting a bike and another person with a group of people surrounded you and tried to push you off the bike, and then scanned it out from under you, all while one of his friends started filming you and the whole group is talking and laughing at you, what would you do?

I have no idea what I would do. I think I'd be frustrated and confused. I might try to say help if I thought someone nearby might help the situation or if I thought saying help might scare the boys into leaving me alone. I might cry in frustration. When I cry out of frustration, I don't know that tears fall down my cheeks. Some crying is tearful, some is not.

It is really insane to me that even now that it's clear she was not trying to steal his bike, people are still criticizing her reaction. She didn't do anything wrong!

This doesn't happen. She pushes him. She steals his phone. Both of these things are crimes. She 100% did something wrong, whatever happened with the bike before the video starts.

She's on the bike, he is grabbing the bike and trying to take it from her. How is she pushing him? He's physically trying to push her away from the bike with his entire body. She does push back while saying "get off me" because his behavior is really inappropriate.

She's sitting on the bike. Why is she sitting on the bike if it's "his" bike? How can she push him off a bike she is sitting on?

She does not "steal" his phone. She grabs at his phone as he uses it to scan the QR code. She is trying to prevent him from scanning the bike she is on. That's not stealing.

Someone told you "this video shows X" and you are now convinced it shows X even though if you actually watch it without preconceptions, it shows Y.

She's pushing into him for almost the whole video. If you don't see that I don't know what to tell you. I don't know what happened with the bike at first and I'm not going to make any claims about what's happening overall, but the idea that he's shoving her when he's standing still and she's pushing into him is just crazy.

Why are they refusing to let her scan the bike she’s on? Explain.

Why is she refusing to get off the bike they scanned? Explain.

Because she was on it when they scanned it. I wouldn’t get off either.

They scanned it after she was already on it. Literally they scan it in the video while she is sitting on it.

Everyone is convinced that this guy rented the bike before the video starts but he very clearly rents the bike midway through the video after preventing her from scanning the bike herself by covering the scanner with his hand. It's right there in the video.

Why didn't this kid just rent another bike. Explain.

He’s pushing into her almost the whole video so he can hold on tight to the very QR code that she could use to make her NOT a thief. Because it’s not about theft. It’s about taking her bike.

I have never been accused of weaponizing my tears because I don't act like this woman. Yes, walking away when you're dead wrong is the right thing to do. And yes, these kids should have filmed this encounter because black men know that that they are the last to be believed. Just look at how some of you are trying to defend her.

Laughing? Why, yes. She is acting like a toddler so the correct response is to laugh.

If shes that tired then why wouldn’t she just catch an Uber. FFS a pregnant tired woman can get an Uber.

SHE'S ON THE BIKE. What you are calling "pushing into him" is what I see as "existing in the space she was occupying before this kid decided he wants the bike she was on."

Like if I'm standing on the street and you decide you want to be standing where I am standing, and you try to physically put your body in the space I am occupying, I am not "pushing you" when I don't simply get out of your way.

So now her crime is not getting an Uber when another person decided to take the bike she was sitting on?

Ok.

I actually completely believe that you wouldn’t stand up for yourself in this situation. You’d probably let them take the bike under your account.

He’s pushing into her almost the whole video so he can hold on tight to the very QR code that she could use to make her NOT a thief. Because it’s not about theft. It’s about taking her bike.

+1 The reason his hand is awkwardly pushing into her [pregnant] stomach and reaching across the bike is so he can block her from renting the bike she's on.

True and if you are really scared you leave the situation. The same way others told him to take the loss of the rental, she could have walked away and got help.

Let's be honest, even without knowing the entire story, she clearly is NOT afraid.

Clearly he was renting the bike as it was activated and had the app open. She got on it and claimed it was hers. She didn’t even have her phone out or make any attempt to book the bike. Wouldn’t surprise me if she doesn’t even have the app.

Why didn’t she just rent another bike if she even could. Explain.
