A couple of mis-steps and the woman and the hippie ended up going down the steps.
But, I do not see evidence of her actually being PUSHED down the stairs.
Did I miss something?
One of the things the OWS people do is they attack with their hands up - watch some of the videos (I don’t recall if it was in this one) and you’ll see it. That’s because, technically, touching someone counts as assault.
However, they can get away with bumping, bodyblocking and other non-hand-contact type of aggression. It’s much harder to detect and they can always say it was unintentional and they just ran over Granny by accident. The woman herself said that they just surged around the Reagan Dinner attendees, and that both she and a male companion were pushed down the stairs. But she said she didn’t know if it was an intentional push or because the Occupy mob was shoving forward to harrass the Reagan Dinner people who were trying to exit.
No, and that wouldn’t make any sense. It’s a sensationalist headline, and it’s not helping anything be being deceptive.
I’ve watched numerous videos of this event and read every account I could find. The women themselves don’t know if they were purposely shoved or just got shoved by the writhing mass of enraged orcs.
Either way it’s the same thing - whether one or two people shoved them, or a mass of orcs shoved them.
