Guilty of what? Being a woman and standing up for herself against a pack of bullies?

Fake crying and calling for help because she was on a bike someone else had reserved.

PP you need to go back a few pages and read the posters explaining how to rent a CitiBike, and how he didn't rent it (by holding his phone against the reader between the handlebars) until about 20 seconds into the exchange, and all the while she was already sitting on it.

That’s not how it works. He had a RIDE CODE he had purchased on his phone for a bike at that particular station. That unlocks the bike. That’s what he was showing on his phone. She totally tried to nab a bike she hadn’t yet paid for. He had—it was his!

Ok, THAT is not how it works. Just because you have a ride code doesn't mean you are entitled to a specific bike. You have to apply it to the bike to unlock it. Which he does, 20 seconds into the video, when the woman is already sitting on the bike. He could have used his code for a different bike at that station. For whatever reason he believed he was entitled to that specific bike even though another rider was already sitting on it and preparing to rent it.

No one has a ride code that is like "you are entitled to ride Bike XYZ at the Kip Bay station at 6:03pm on Saturday May 13." That's not how ride codes work.

Yes, it is.

Ride codes don’t entitle you to a specific bike. You think if you arrive at a Citibike station that has 40 bikes like some of the ones at commuter stations each person has to look through all 40 QR codes for their pre-reserved one??

Why do people just make shit up?

It's a simple point. He paid, she hadn't. Which means his claim was stronger than hers.

She got their first, he got their second. That's pretty simple.

He had pre-paid, she hadn't. Otherwise she would have had *her* phone out to show that. And only one of them fake cried and called for help.

Had prepaid for WHAT? Not the bike she was one.

Their rights are not established as a first-one-to-arrive wins in this case.

I think there's probably a legal grey area. But regardless of legalities, if you purchase a citi bike or a scooter on an app, and then show up and someone is using one of those bikes, logic says you just go to the next. Duh. This is basic human civility needed to function in a large scale society. Which the guy obviously does not have

He prepaid for a ride, not a bike. What if she's a CitiBike member? In that case, she'd have prepaid even before him. None of it matters. The bike is yours when you scan the code and unlock it, which he did not do until she was already on the bike.

You. Are. Wrong.

Yes, it is.

Why are you lying about this? No, it's not. A ride code does not entitle you to a specific bike. You always have to unlock a bike, and until you unlock the bike, it's not your bike. It HAS to work this way because otherwise, there would be altercations like this one constantly, because if you could "reserve" a docked bike then people would be fighting over bikes they assume to be available all the time, with other people showing up and saying "no it's my bike." But it doesn't work that way.

It's your bike once you've scanned it using the app on your phone. Which this guy had not done until midway through that video, after the woman had sat on the bike.

Then she decided to ask for help, because her life was in danger./s

Do you only ask for help when you think your life is endanger? So you can't ask for help if you simply feel outnumbered or feel that something wrong or unjust is happening and want backup? You may only shout for help if someone is about to kill you?

It's amazing how every time someone asserts something WRONG about this incident (like that he'd reserved the bike ahead of time, or he'd already paid for it, or whatever) and someone calmly explains, no, the video clearly shows us that this is not what happened, or that's not how bike rentals in NYC work, you always reply with a different argument that has also already been addressed.

You are just convinced that this woman has to be wrong no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. Just unpersuadable.

Just accept that these people probably hate women, or hate white people, and wont see reason. Once you wake up to that fact you'll stop attempting to argue with them. It is what it is.

Correction: they detest white women and treasure having them as a punching bag, because they can be open and overt about it and not be ashamed because that’s “progressive.”

NP. They are both there when the video starts, so you have absolutely no way of knowing that.

The video does not show that the woman got to the bike first - she could have come up and sat on it while he held the handlebars to scan it. Whoever was touching the bike first should have got the bike and the video does not show that.

If he had already scanned it, there would be no conflict. He’s grabbing the bike and leaning against her because he didn’t scan it yet.

So if he was holding the bike and she ran up and sat on it he should give it to her? Nothing in the video or the conversation between the people suggests that she was there first

Nothing. Not one word of defense or explanation or reason why it’s her bike.

I like how she’s just casually draping her hand on his arm as she’s loudly saying “Halp. Please halp me. Get off me.” She is not scared, she is not in danger. The hysterics start when the colleague shows up, and immediately stop as soon as he’s like, maybe get a different bike?

You're a psychic and can magically read her mind and emotions? Wow. What a talent!

This is the video I've seen: https://twitter.com/Imposter_Edits/status/1657581292681064451?s=20

The descriptions I've seen state that he paid for the CitiBike and then she sat down on it and refused to move. I wasn't there, though, so obviously I've got no idea what happened beyond what's in the video.

Bumping this so people can see for themselves 👍
