So because she asked the guy to give her some more room after he had squeezed her to the wall by sitting with his legs wide opened on a 2-person bench seat, she had it coming to her?
In any case, as I've said several times on the thread, after the punk/creep went all nuts on her, she should have picked her butt up and moved to another car. Instead, she sticks ear phones in and stays there next to him. That probably really drove the POS punk crazy, perceiving it in his screwed up head as an act of 'disrespect', as if his sitting with his legs wide apart wasn't. Can't believe that some people are actually defending this obvious POS.
Sorry I did forget to add /s.
I had not read the entire back and forth comments when I posted, didn’t even realize that there were 3 pages full of it.
I fully agree that she should have removed herself from the situation and that ignoring the fire that had been sparked (rightly or not) only allowed it to grow to out of control proportions, and she got sucker punched because of that.
Again, rightly or not; the ferals WILL be given the respect that they “expect” or there will be consequences.
Turning away from him likely only angered him more (as you said “disrepected him further”) and fully enabled her to be blind sided. She was fortunate that she only got a fat lip and not worse.
I have no quarrel with your opinion above. I have been in the “Motorcycle Culture” for many years. Not only is speaking to someone without being invited to, much less trying to make a “correction” to a situation will, in fact, guarantee a re-education moment, aka attitude adjustment.
Sometimes, the hardest lessons learned are the most painful.
Peace and blessings my FRiend!
