and there'll be a good chance of everyone watching a satisfying video of you getting punched

Funny how everyone agrees with the woman's actions and finds them satisfying instead.

Yet you are trying to use this argument to defend the asshole guy. Well, watch the video again and see how not a single person said anything, clearly they all agreed with the woman's actions and the guy got what he deserved.

Civil justice in progress when the laws and authorities fail.

Luckily laws can be changed. If there was a trial and a jury decided she is innocent, there would be precedent for all future cases to side with the person being filmed without consent and not the assholes.

I'm not defending this guy, and yes, as I stated laws can be changed to account for new technologies and new definitions of public spaces and privacy rights.

The point I'm making is that people shouldn't start altercations that may have permanent consequences over their anger control problems, including the woman in question.

You can't put your hands on people unless they put their hands on you first, tough guy.

Those comments are from men saving up for a pair to make videos of women for "further study" later.

I wonder how they feel about doing this on playgrounds around children?
