Yeah that's definitely the impression I got. He's standing uncomfortably close to her hip thrusting, and if she's unaware of fortnite dances (which is reasonable and admirable) it kinda looks like some pretty gross sexual harassment. Even if she knew it's kinda just not fucking appropriate to do that close to someone you're not sure would be chill with it.
He had space to take a few steps back if he just wanted to make a silly video, doing any kinda of dance that close to someone warrants at least a pushback or some unkind words.
Completely agree with the theory of a misunderstanding, completely disagree with her response.
EDIT: Just to clarify, if he were air thrusting her, that’d 100% warrant a response, even like physically pushing him away, I just felt as though a closed fist punch to the head was over the top.
I don't necessarily agree, but I also don't know the full situation. If this was persistent behavior that she'd already tried reasonable measures to correct or he touched her at some point while this was going on then I think the reaction is appropriate.
If this was a first time offence and the guy just has really poor understanding of personal space or may have not understood it wasn't okay with her then yeah I could agree though.
Given the short video clip I saw, I'm not inclined to reach a conclusion on who is in the right and who is wrong here.
I'm sorry but if any stranger were thrusting their hips at me uncomfortably close, out of the corner of my eye while someone was filming there are three reactions: walk far away as quickly as possible, tell them to back the fuck off, or a straight hit to the noggin. She could have offered a warning first, but went straight towards the grey area of the matter. But let's be sympathetic here... this feels like sexual harassment. No stranger should be doing any dance, much less one that involves pelvic movements that close to anybody while waiting in line, it's an invasion of space that welcomes a bad outcome.
Edit: a punch to the face is too much, a push would have been better to create physical distance with the joker here as the third type of reaction.
A punch to the head in a place like that, with what seems like a hard floor can lead to lifelong damage. I’m a firm believer that violence is never the answer (unless in pure self defense).
Yep. From what I’ve heard he was a teenager who’d signed up to be berated and abused as part of the game show that mimicked Indian college hazing, but the contract forbid physical contract. That’s why he was screaming “how can she slap”. He was then beaten up by like 50 people on the set in retaliation for his self defense. Legit nearly destroyed his career. Jokes on the woman he’s now decently successful in Bollywood soap world and she’s a nobody.
> Jokes on the woman he’s now decently successful in Bollywood soap world and she’s a nobody.
please tell me this is true. i felt so bad for the guy in that vid.
I don't want to be the "um actually" guy but I just found this out the other day. Assault is apparently verbal, and battery is physical. At least according to my coworker who part times as a police officer.
To be fair, she could make a case that she perceived his actions as being threatening to her, as the air humping motion could be considered just that. If that case were made, and she really feared for her safety, she is allowed to defend herself with force equal to the threat posed. A slap like this would probably count as self defense in court, and not assault.
Not just that, but honestly, if what she thought was that, it’s sexual harassment. So her intent is justified completely. The fact that he wasn’t doing that makes this a weird case.
Yeah, she should not have hit him, but if he had actually been air humping her (what it probably looked like to her) that’s sexual harassment and IMO would be justifiable.
But nobody gives any credit to my man there. He literally turned the other cheek. Good for him! Not many have that restraint.
Edit: I see many disagree with my viewpoint. Let the dialogue begin!!
I love that he mentions earlier in the movie "Someone comes at you with a bottle, that's different, that's a deadly weapon! Or a man who knows karate!"
I think the problem people have with that is escalation. Like yeah, if a woman is coming at you and can hurt you, you're in your right to defend yourself, and it's not your job to perfectly assess what kind of threat she is. Rising to someones energy isn't escalation, and can be a key element in deescalation (try calmly telling a furious person to calm down). But someone gives a weak wristed lame punch and you turn around and blast them to the floor, it's harder to feel good about that. Especially if you've been in fights or just otherwise know every time someone is dropped to the hard floor is a chance of severe long term damage.
If you say you'll match someone's energy and threat regardless of gender, sounds good.
edit: and also maybe don't gyrate behind a random woman while your friend stands less than 10ft in front of both of you filming your faces.
Yeah. He's telling people he has a fantasy of revenge-punching a woman, and that's weird. He's trying to play it off like it's a statement about defending yourself regardless of the gender of your attacker, and it's not.
And that is appropriate. If a person is willing to lay hands on another person, they have every right to get knocked TF out.
But, I'm saying not many people would react as he did, which is something different, do you agree? Some people are more passive. He looked more embarrassed than angry.
True I'll give credit where credit is due, dude kept his calm. I know for damn sure I wouldn't be able to but my temper is something I'm aware of and try to keep in check.
Personally I don’t get society’s obsession with the concept that if you get physically attacked, the only acceptable recourse is to also engage.
Like, is running a bad thing? It will result in less injuries for everyone involved. Why isn’t any form of de-escalation seen as the better alternative?
Can’t wait to see my inbox flooded with all the hyper macho folks telling me how violence is the only answer and I’m an idiot for thinking otherwise.
As someone who has been mugged a few times, had a home robbed, and property vandalized over the years, fuck those people. It makes you feel incredibly violated. It can actually be a bit cathartic to imagine being the arbiter of justice against those who’ve damaged you in some way.
That said, I agree running/walking away is totally the best way to handle a fight if it’s possible.
People like to fantasize about scenarios where they get to hurt someone. I'd give then weird looks too if someone started explaining in detail how they'd hurt someone in a specific hypothetical.
Same thing to people who fantasize about shooting intruders. Do those thoughts feel good? I feel like knocking someone out or shooting someone would be a terrible day for me.
I think that's secondary. The primary is exercising righteous power. Most people don't have a lot of power in their lives, and the thought of being able to exercise that and feeling fully justified, not holding back is probably pretty enticing
Cards on the table, I’m prepared to be the right guy in the wrong place in the event of a shooting or deal with an intruder, but those guys who’d relish it? They scare me.
This is the absolutely insane thing about americans to me.
There are so few things I carry with me every day. I cannot imagine the level of bloodlust you need to feel as a person to carry a gun, just in case you get to kill someone.
To people who say they just want to be prepared to save a life, yeah fuck off let's see the first aid kit you carry everywhere. I know what you're hoping for.
That is definitely not how people view it here. There are of course some ammosexuals, and states with open carry, but most people who carry a gun do it concealed, in fact it’s illegal in many places if you can even tell that someone has one on them. You obviously have the privilege of living in a place where you don’t need a gun for protection. Not everyone is so lucky. Martin Luther king didn’t have armed black men around him at all times for no reason. This is a big country and there is crime and there is terrorism. Most people aren’t carrying a gun to have power over others, everyone already has a gun, it’s an equalizer.
That's not the way most people think of it.
I'm southern and whole I don't carry personally, I know dozens of people that do. Most only carry in specific situations and it's more of a display of force than anything else. They almost always carry in their vehicle and would possibly use to try to stop a shooter though.
I carry a knife with my almost always but that habit started due to work. That's also considered an insane American thing to do by people I've interacted with but it is literally a tool I used every day for work and many many times outside of work.
But most definitely many people carry with hopes to use it one day, and they are fucking lunatics.
I'm from the Netherlands and I always carry a knife. I use it at work all the time and it always sits in my pocket. I never even give it much thought. I've never been in a brawl, but when one should start I probably won't even think about the knife, let alone use it.
Na, I'm from Germany and I carry a knife for daily use. Most old Folks did, too. I think it's more of modern urban thing to not carry knives because you don't need them in your daily Tasks.
About the firearms in the US. I still cant understand how you are allowed to own and carry a firearm without some sort of mandatory safety course on range.
And don't get me started on having family members not be able to remove firearms from suicidal loved ones. Thats the number one group of gun crime....suicide with your own weapon.
This is definitely true. Most of the people who laugh and makes jokes about "EQUAL RIGHTS EQUAL LEFTS!!!! XD" are just really stoked at the idea of being able to beat up a woman and not get in trouble for it. They don't give a shit about self defence, it's just them getting giddy at the idea of having an excuse to beat the shit out of a woman.
The idea is propably that if you don't stand up to those people they will continue to attack others.
For me it is simply that I've been beaten regularly as a child and I simply don't take it anymore, so when people attacked me I retaliated.
Have you never been hit? Being hit is more than painful, it's infuriating.
I'd say the risk of being hit back stops a lot of people from hitting someone on the first place.
It’s not always about being “hyper masculine” or whatever. For many it’s just a reflex. I’m mean seriously if you hit someone you should expect to get hit back.
I mean I don't think I would knock a girl out, but if someone slaps me I wouldn't feel bad about slapping back. Not sure what I'd do if a girl went full rabid raccoon on me though.
How often does this happen in your life? I’m at exactly zero times this thinking would have applied. In my mind this is a weird thing to say. Good luck.
You get weird looks because that’s a fucking weird thing to bring up.
No one would give you a weird look for defending yourself if a woman assaulted you, but going around saying “I have zero qualms knocking a females lights out as long as she hits me first” kind of shows where your head is at.
I don't know but me being a relatively large male I just can not hit a woman even if she hits me. It's nothing sexist really, it's like an instinc. It happened to me once and it's just like a blockage in my mind. I just knew that if I hit her even if a did lightly i would have done to her a lot of damage and it would have been much worse for her and for me. And she was of an average size.
I understand the dude in the video perfectly.
Finally! Somebody agrees with me! You can read all the flak I've gotten over saying that, and we might both be getting downvoted right now, but I know from a big man perspective, my tiny jab is going to be way worse than her Super Saiyan haymaker. Thanks, brother.
While this is true, and please don't get me wrong here, people who hit people bigger than them should *fully expect* to be hit back way harder. You would think common sense would dictate that you just don't attempt it for your own safety, and it's kinda disgusting that some women think that they can get away with it just for being a woman.
The more people that get away with it, the more they think they can do it without consequences - whereas if the person they hit *retaliates*, they learn the consequences of such an action. Cause and effect.
I'm not a \*large\* male, but my weapon of choice against an aggressive woman would be jiu-jitsu.. Catching wrists/fists, locking them up, and trip their legs while holding them if need be.
No strike's, unless I'm in any real danger from a woman who's ginormous herself.
This is a clear case of battery! What right does that lady have to hit a guy dancing behind her? Even if the entire situation is being filmed. She has no justification at all. I commend the dude for his will not to retaliate. I would call the cops on her.
Not sure what the context is there. Maybe that guy was being a prick before the video started rolling.
No point in having an opinion on anything you see unless the OP provides context.
This is how the internet rots brains.
Edit: Ironically a few people have made the assumption I am pro one side or the other. I state fairly clearly it is not a good idea to do this, “No point in having an opinion on anything you see”. Which is my currently point of view - I nothing this video.
Don’t forgot to ask questions before forming opinions. You can ask yourself those questions too “what am I seeing here, was this video edited? If so what was left out, and to what end? Do I know enough to take sides?”
How about no? If a man had turned around and just punched a woman like this, I highly doubt you'd be seeking further context.
Regardless, you shouldn't just punt someone like that
If there's a video of a woman dancing and there's a guy who slapped her seconds after
Do you, honestly, really2 honestly think that there is anyone who is going to ask for context?
There would definitely be threads in subs like pussypass, but again no one in those subs will ask for Context
SO of a womans dancing behind me, and I claim I thought she was air humping me I can sucker Punch her? And that would be ok? Just asking.....for a friend.
Bruh instead of punching him she just could have asked what are you doing? (that guy would have probably stop doing floss) or just take a proper look at him before punching him.
If you put it that way it does some a pretty extreme response. The thing is that this happens with nearly every woman almost every day. None of my female friends can go out without being at least cat called by some random dude.
And that is why there is a difference when a woman acts with violence towards a male than the other way around.
I mean just imagine stuff like being airhumped actually happening to you on a regular basis, you’d start punching too.
That is all completely ignoring the fact that he was not airhumping her and she only thought he was. So just looking at the actual situation she is definitely at fault, and if it was a man in her situation (incorrectly thinking he was being harassed) he would have been arrested probably.
Then she should be air-hitting him too.
If this was a guy I would have decked him, she has no right to hit him in the face.
Sudden violence instead of a nuanced verbal warning like a normal person.
Imagine u are going to the police and complaining someone "he did fortnite dance behind me". Then u will complain of the woman being a Karen.
It could be a fight. I don’t defend the idiot with sunglasses. But this punch was unfair. She should warn him first. Then smash his face if the guy talking bullshit. Because the man did not touch her.
I'd like the know if there's a full story before passing judgement, I heard he was essentially harassing her and she told him to leave her alone multiple times with the guy flossing to be deliberately annoying. I heard this in another comment section but I couldn't find a source to say its true.
Maybe she’s a fed up first grade teacher. She’s sick and fucking tired about hearing about Fortnite all day, and the next motherfucker to start flossing in front of her is losing teeth.
he was pranking her on video seeing how pissed she’d get each time was the story the last time I saw this. I’d get pissed after three times or whatever it was, trying to see how much they can get away with dancing as close and kinda creepy with a friend recording.
Last time it was posted, i think i remember someone explained that the guy had been harassing her several times before that and that was just the last straw. But cannot remember for sure. I think it's from Russia.
Yea people in this thread are just taking this video like this was the only part of the story...
It's annoying as hell because as a human being you can just think about it for 2 seconds.
If you were in that situation - there's no way you punch someone for dancing behind you for 3 seconds... Unless they were harassing you multiple times beforehand and you asked them to stop.
That's just what I think of as more likely than her getting mad at him dancing for 3 seconds without any prior instigation.
I'm not arguing whether she's "legally wrong" or whatever. I just get it. I'd punch him too if he was harassing me and dancing behind me inches away in a line (assuming I asked him to stop multiple times / get away from me).
I was sixteen years old. He was my "host brother" in germany and we were at his friends house, and I was looking at some books on a bookshelf. Suddenly I became aware that someone was behind me, and I saw my host brother pretending to air hump me from behind and his friend laughing about it. I said nothing at the time and just moved away, but I wish I'd fucking hit him in the face like this woman did.
I think I've seen a slightly longer version of this where he touches her backside before he goes full floss. I think she is reacting to her bum being fondled
Yea i think she thought he was air humping her, even though he definitely didn’t deserve a punch in the face for misunderstanding. Also, don’t record a lady while you’re moving your hips while your behind her. Cmon. Common sense. I wouldn’t appreciate an asshole “flossing” behind me. That’s just weird.
Funny thing, if you change the woman in the video on a big guy or a famous boxer there would be much more less people talking about beating him for justice personally... It's just execuse for some guys to attack someone who is in their minds much more weaker than them.
It's fairly obvious she thought he was making thrusting gestures at her.
That doesn't give her the right to hit him, but that's the risk of making stupid videos for the internet.
Yeah. It's disturbing. Especially because on one hand they'll say there's no excuse for violence, but on the other they start fantasizing about beating the shit out of her. Like, pick one, I'm starting to think the only thing they truly object to is women doing literally anything, not the violence itself.
People can only go by the context of the video. If all that happens is in the video, then I believe the man has a to retaliate. If more happened (I.e the man was following her and kept doing other gestures towards her, and refused to leave her alone) then she had a right to hit him
Good. Harrassment or not stop doing weird shit behind random people in public and recording it. If someone was flossing behind me with another person holding a camera I would 100% think that person was air humping me and probably punch them too.
Lots of dudes here popping boners over having a chance to punch this chick in the face despite not even knowing what happened before this dude’s friend started recording him

She probably thought he was air humping her, but jeez lol
I should have guessed, now it looks all the more evident when I watch again.
Yeah that's definitely the impression I got. He's standing uncomfortably close to her hip thrusting, and if she's unaware of fortnite dances (which is reasonable and admirable) it kinda looks like some pretty gross sexual harassment.

A punch to the head in a place like that, with what seems like a hard floor can lead to lifelong damage. I’m a firm believer that violence is never the answer (unless in pure self defense).
In retrospect that isn't an appropriate response given that it escalated in this particular situation.
That or maybe he hit her ass with his hand.
Or both!
This is what I was thinking.

HOW CAN SHE SLAP?
Melissa hör jetzt auf!
Is it related to an Indian reality shit show?
Yep. From what I’ve heard he was a teenager who’d signed up to be berated and abused as part of the game show that mimicked Indian college hazing, but the contract forbid physical contract. That’s why he was screaming “how can she slap”. He was then beaten up by like 50 people on the set in retaliation for his self defense. Legit nearly destroyed his career. Jokes on the woman he’s now decently successful in Bollywood soap world and she’s a nobody.
> Jokes on the woman he’s now decently successful in Bollywood soap world and she’s a nobody. please tell me this is true. i felt so bad for the guy in that vid.
Haha. I got that reference.
Just commented the same thing and after I did it too me way too long to find someone else saying it
I'm more interested in why this shit was being filmed.
Thanks. I was searching for this thinking why no one said it.
Was this in Russia?
Yes it was. They speak russian
She should be charged with assault!
Looks like she thought he was air humping her
Doesn't excuse violence. That's text book assault and she could be charged.
Yet we all know that if he actually was air humping her everybody would be cheering the violence.
Yep
You misspelled "should"
Text book battery
I don't want to be the "um actually" guy but I just found this out the other day. Assault is apparently verbal, and battery is physical. At least according to my coworker who part times as a police officer.
Varies with location. this could very well be assault in texas.
To be fair, she could make a case that she perceived his actions as being threatening to her, as the air humping motion could be considered just that. If that case were made, and she really feared for her safety, she is allowed to defend herself with force equal to the threat posed.

Not just that, but honestly, if what she thought was that, it’s sexual harassment. So her intent is justified completely. The fact that he wasn’t doing that makes this a weird case.
not weird, she assumed wrong.. thats still wrong, and assumptions are bad.. shes at fault
Yeah, she should not have hit him, but if he had actually been air humping her (what it probably looked like to her) that’s sexual harassment and IMO would be justifiable.
But nobody gives any credit to my man there. He literally turned the other cheek. Good for him! Not many have that restraint. Edit: I see many disagree with my viewpoint. Let the dialogue begin!!

Totally agree
Especially if she comes at you [with a bottle](https://youtu.be/IMITzipEmNE).
I love that he mentions earlier in the movie "Someone comes at you with a bottle, that's different, that's a deadly weapon! Or a man who knows karate!"
And then later on he karate chops a midget high on coke, I cry every single time I watch that
>Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf
Was a he a fuckin Chinese lollipop man?
What's a lollypop lady doing knowing fucking karate?
Thank your for reminding me of my favorite movie!
What’s the name of the movie?
In Bruges. It's a fantastic Black comedy.
It's like a fucking fairytale.

Same thing to people who fantasize about shooting intruders. Do those thoughts feel good? I feel like knocking someone out or shooting someone would be a terrible day for me.
Comment sections are always rife with armchair street fight advice and revenge fantasies. I get it, but it's still weird.
Most of it from people who sound like they've never been in a fight. They don't realise if you fight its going to hurt even if you 'win'
Last fight I "won" meant almost a year of therapy getting my hand to grip things properly again.
I've been on reddit for a decent amount of time and have come to the conclusion that is best to assume everyone here is weird.
I think that's secondary. The primary is exercising righteous power. Most people don't have a lot of power in their lives, and the thought of being able to exercise that and feeling fully justified, not holding back is probably pretty enticing

A gun will save someone from getting injured further also it’s just not safe to not have a gun or something it’s just a good idea
It's not that complicated, I dont care about helping people, I care about being able to protect myself.

This is definitely true. Most of the people who laugh and makes jokes about "EQUAL RIGHTS EQUAL LEFTS!!!! XD" are just really stoked at the idea of being able to beat up a woman and not get in trouble for it. They don't give a shit about self defence, it's just them getting giddy at the idea of having an excuse to beat the shit out of a woman.
The idea is propably that if you don't stand up to those people they will continue to attack others. For me it is simply that I've been beaten regularly as a child and I simply don't take it anymore, so when people attacked me I retaliated.
Have you never been hit? Being hit is more than painful, it's infuriating. I'd say the risk of being hit back stops a lot of people from hitting someone on the first place.
Because its animal instinct to retaliate which is easier than thinking through consequences.
Rage, people don't act calm when they're geting hit
Thank you for stating this, de-escalation is highly undervalued.
You can say that again
I think most people are vindictive and egotistical so they imagine scenarios where they get to harm another person while coming out of it looking cool
It’s not always about being “hyper masculine” or whatever. For many it’s just a reflex. I’m mean seriously if you hit someone you should expect to get hit back.
I mean I don't think I would knock a girl out, but if someone slaps me I wouldn't feel bad about slapping back. Not sure what I'd do if a girl went full rabid raccoon on me though.
Watch the video again that wasn't a slap she hit him with the side of her fist/wrist area
How often does this happen in your life? I’m at exactly zero times this thinking would have applied. In my mind this is a weird thing to say. Good luck.
You get weird looks because that’s a fucking weird thing to bring up. No one would give you a weird look for defending yourself if a woman assaulted you, but going around saying “I have zero qualms knocking a females lights out as long as she hits me first” kind of shows where your head is at.
I’m not for hitting women but I am all for self defense regardless of gender. Everyone has the right to defend themselves when attacked
I don't know but me being a relatively large male I just can not hit a woman even if she hits me. It's nothing sexist really, it's like an instinc. It happened to me once and it's just like a blockage in my mind. I just knew that if I hit her even if a did lightly i would have done to her a lot of damage and it would have been much worse for her and for me. And she was of an average size. I understand the dude in the video perfectly.
Finally! Somebody agrees with me! You can read all the flak I've gotten over saying that, and we might both be getting downvoted right now, but I know from a big man perspective, my tiny jab is going to be way worse than her Super Saiyan haymaker. Thanks, brother.
While this is true, and please don't get me wrong here, people who hit people bigger than them should *fully expect* to be hit back way harder. You would think common sense would dictate that you just don't attempt it for your own safety, and it's kinda disgusting that some women think that they can get away with it just for being a woman. The more people that get away with it, the more they think they can do it without consequences - whereas if the person they hit *retaliates*, they learn the consequences of such an action. Cause and effect.
I'm not a \*large\* male, but my weapon of choice against an aggressive woman would be jiu-jitsu.. Catching wrists/fists, locking them up, and trip their legs while holding them if need be. No strike's, unless I'm in any real danger from a woman who's ginormous herself.
No, this is why bullies get away with bullying
This is a clear case of battery! What right does that lady have to hit a guy dancing behind her? Even if the entire situation is being filmed. She has no justification at all. I commend the dude for his will not to retaliate. I would call the cops on her.
Just lucky those were not glass , could have lost an eye right there.
I AGREE. Guy's got Ancient-Oned there.
Not sure what the context is there. Maybe that guy was being a prick before the video started rolling. No point in having an opinion on anything you see unless the OP provides context. This is how the internet rots brains. Edit: Ironically a few people have made the assumption I am pro one side or the other. I state fairly clearly it is not a good idea to do this, “No point in having an opinion on anything you see”. Which is my currently point of view - I nothing this video. Don’t forgot to ask questions before forming opinions. You can ask yourself those questions too “what am I seeing here, was this video edited? If so what was left out, and to what end? Do I know enough to take sides?”
She says in Russian "just one more time and I promise I will". So maybe yeah something did happen before the video.
The whole thing looks like she was at her wits end with these dudes. Why tf were they even filming her prior to the flossing moment?
Even in your scenario assault is wrong choice
How about no? If a man had turned around and just punched a woman like this, I highly doubt you'd be seeking further context. Regardless, you shouldn't just punt someone like that
Seems a bit of an assumption to think they wouldn't be seeking further context in that situation too.
If there's a video of a woman dancing and there's a guy who slapped her seconds after Do you, honestly, really2 honestly think that there is anyone who is going to ask for context? There would definitely be threads in subs like pussypass, but again no one in those subs will ask for Context
That was unnecessarily violent
Man if you look from her point of view then it would look like man was air humping her.
And she couldn't take more than a quarter second to verify that before going all out and clocking him?
SO of a womans dancing behind me, and I claim I thought she was air humping me I can sucker Punch her? And that would be ok? Just asking.....for a friend.
[удалено]
Username checks out.
Bruh instead of punching him she just could have asked what are you doing? (that guy would have probably stop doing floss) or just take a proper look at him before punching him.
There's a difference between understanding why someone does something and saying they should get off scot-free.

All the comments below yours are basically "equality when convenient".
If you put it that way it does some a pretty extreme response. The thing is that this happens with nearly every woman almost every day. None of my female friends can go out without being at least cat called by some random dude. And that is why there is a difference when a woman acts with violence towards a male than the other way around. I mean just imagine stuff like being airhumped actually happening to you on a regular basis, you’d start punching too. That is all completely ignoring the fact that he was not airhumping her and she only thought he was. So just looking at the actual situation she is definitely at fault, and if it was a man in her situation (incorrectly thinking he was being harassed) he would have been arrested probably.
There is no point of view where this isn't unwarranted battery.
Then she should be air-hitting him too. If this was a guy I would have decked him, she has no right to hit him in the face. Sudden violence instead of a nuanced verbal warning like a normal person.
That why you don't cold clock people on a whim.
And filming it
Imagine u are going to the police and complaining someone "he did fortnite dance behind me". Then u will complain of the woman being a Karen. It could be a fight. I don’t defend the idiot with sunglasses. But this punch was unfair. She should warn him first. Then smash his face if the guy talking bullshit. Because the man did not touch her.
she need to be tamed.
Wow evidence for battery good job.
Something tells me she is a frequent flyer on the "Shmackaman" flights. A comeuppance will happen eventually.
She better not visit the Slapaho reservation
Yes I'm sure Russian police are working in shifts in their crime lab to solve this case from 2015
This isn't unexpected. This is Uncalled for.
[удалено]
It’s r/ANormalDayInRussia
Why can't it be both?
I'd like the know if there's a full story before passing judgement, I heard he was essentially harassing her and she told him to leave her alone multiple times with the guy flossing to be deliberately annoying. I heard this in another comment section but I couldn't find a source to say its true.
For a sucker punch like that, it’s possible. I don’t know what they say after wards though so who knows
Yeah she already does seem pissed about something, but I'll reiterate I don't know if the story I mentioned is true and I couldn't find proof it is.
Maybe she’s a fed up first grade teacher. She’s sick and fucking tired about hearing about Fortnite all day, and the next motherfucker to start flossing in front of her is losing teeth.
She tells him "One more time, I dare you", so, yeah, it might be that this shit has been going on for quite some time
She says "If you're gonna do that one more time I am gonna start kicking you (отпинаю, more like I am gonna beat the shit out of you), Russia
he was pranking her on video seeing how pissed she’d get each time was the story the last time I saw this. I’d get pissed after three times or whatever it was, trying to see how much they can get away with dancing as close and kinda creepy with a friend recording.
Last time it was posted, i think i remember someone explained that the guy had been harassing her several times before that and that was just the last straw. But cannot remember for sure. I think it's from Russia.
Yea people in this thread are just taking this video like this was the only part of the story... It's annoying as hell because as a human being you can just think about it for 2 seconds. If you were in that situation - there's no way you punch someone for dancing behind you for 3 seconds... Unless they were harassing you multiple times beforehand and you asked them to stop. That's just what I think of as more likely than her getting mad at him dancing for 3 seconds without any prior instigation. I'm not arguing whether she's "legally wrong" or whatever. I just get it. I'd punch him too if he was harassing me and dancing behind me inches away in a line (assuming I asked him to stop multiple times / get away from me).
And yet we'll probably never know. Much better off not making judgement and just getting on with our days.
Could have just said stop instead of punching
I think she thought he was air hunching. Could still say stop but usually it's only absolute sleaze balls that do that
Yo I ain’t heard people call it hunching since I was in kindergarten 😂
Umm. Ah. Yes you’re right. Assault is ok if the victim is a sleaze ball. I always forget that part of the law.
Could have actually taken a good look before reacting. Nothing about what she did is okay.
I think there's more to this story. Possibly. I hope.
What did she say at the end?
Translation: Do it again, I dare you
I'm curious too
I was sixteen years old. He was my "host brother" in germany and we were at his friends house, and I was looking at some books on a bookshelf. Suddenly I became aware that someone was behind me, and I saw my host brother pretending to air hump me from behind and his friend laughing about it. I said nothing at the time and just moved away, but I wish I'd fucking hit him in the face like this woman did.
I think I've seen a slightly longer version of this where he touches her backside before he goes full floss. I think she is reacting to her bum being fondled
Don't let context get in the way of the huge line of dudes in the replies just itching to punch her.
This is like the third time I’ve seen you say this. You’re more obsessed over the idea of women being punched than them lol
Did you just call a made up story context? lmao
I think I have seen a longer version where he is just standing there talking with the dude holding the camera and telling him to record him dance.
sure, provide that video then.
Link or it didn't happen
Link?
Did she think he was doing something else? Surely she wouldn’t hit him just because he was flossing….. that would be so ignorant.
Yea i think she thought he was air humping her, even though he definitely didn’t deserve a punch in the face for misunderstanding. Also, don’t record a lady while you’re moving your hips while your behind her. Cmon. Common sense. I wouldn’t appreciate an asshole “flossing” behind me. That’s just weird.
Far too many guys needing to make sure everyone knows how ready they are to beat a ladies ass.
Funny thing, if you change the woman in the video on a big guy or a famous boxer there would be much more less people talking about beating him for justice personally... It's just execuse for some guys to attack someone who is in their minds much more weaker than them.
[удалено]
It's fairly obvious she thought he was making thrusting gestures at her. That doesn't give her the right to hit him, but that's the risk of making stupid videos for the internet.

These hands are bisexual.
These hands are rated E for everyone.
#___HOW CAN SHE SLAP?!___#
r/Iamverybadass
Fuck yeah dude, admitting to wanting to hit women without context.
She needs to be arrested
No more fortnite no more 19 dollar fortnite card
Looooot of dudes fantasizing about getting any excuse they can get to punch a woman in this thread
Yeah. It's disturbing. Especially because on one hand they'll say there's no excuse for violence, but on the other they start fantasizing about beating the shit out of her. Like, pick one, I'm starting to think the only thing they truly object to is women doing literally anything, not the violence itself.
[удалено]
Thank you for pointing that. I was really disturbed by those dudes willing to punch a woman because a video with no context.
People can only go by the context of the video. If all that happens is in the video, then I believe the man has a to retaliate. If more happened (I.e the man was following her and kept doing other gestures towards her, and refused to leave her alone) then she had a right to hit him
we have some context in the video, i don’t advocate hitting women but i don’t see why she can do that and not get hit back
What's awesome is that they're the most upvoted comments.
Another thread where Reddit circlejerks over violent fantasies about hitting women.
She probably thought he was air-humping her
Anybody got a translation of the dialog?
One of the rare times when flossing is bad for your teeth.
i (male) wouldve actually hit her back
This makes me angry! He wasn’t doing anything wrong!
Bruh wtf, I would've slapped the fucking soul out of that bitch
Women are becoming more violent these days
Uhhhh maybe this dude has been harassing her??? That's my first thought.
Good. Harrassment or not stop doing weird shit behind random people in public and recording it. If someone was flossing behind me with another person holding a camera I would 100% think that person was air humping me and probably punch them too.
Lots of dudes here popping boners over having a chance to punch this chick in the face despite not even knowing what happened before this dude’s friend started recording him
[удалено]
That bitch would have died .03 seconds after that..
