Hopefully there isn’t a backlash against Muslims over this incident.
Clearly, she was asking to have a bottle busted on her head. He probably tried to resist doing it but she was too persuasive.
I know it's sarcasm, but funny you should say that. From article:
Miss Johansson says she had been enjoying her evening at Babel night club on Saturday when she felt a tug on her handbag and turned around to face a man she did not recognise.'I turned around and then I felt his hand on my bottom and between my legs,' she told Aftonbladet.
After rebuking the man, whom she describes as 5ft 10in in his mid-20s with dark hair, he punched her in the face with a closed fist.
Saying she did not want to escalate the situation, Miss Johansson and her friend moved to leave the club, at which point the man hit her with a bottle on the left side of her head, breaking it.
Guy HITS her, **no one** around her responds, her thought - and that of onlookers as well? - is "Don't make a scene! Don't escalate it, ignore it, LEAVE, they'll leave you alone."
Showing once again, on an individual as well as societal level, appeasement does not help. Nasty business.
