I dunno. I read it after seeing your comment and it suprised by your assessment. Black eyes take forever to heal. They have to see that every day in the mirror for weeks while also trying to deal with the trauma of the attack.

I think it's great they walked away, but then again, doesn't seem like the kind of situation where it's a group of people looking to maim or kill

I got punched in the face at 24yr, and it never fully recovered. My eye is ok, but any time there's the slightest bit of facial swelling - tired, allergies, etc. the cheek under that eye pouches up and droops markedly.

I’m absolutely not minimizing their injuries, but I would expect myself to die in that situation. They handled themselves much better in the fight than I think I would.

I’m surprised how serious you take black eyes

The story could easily be “racist woman gets punched in face after saying something”

What? Where does it say at all in the article that these woman were racist to the guys before being attacked?

Apparently the women started it, got hit, then the attack was over and everything was civil when police arrived

That isn’t indicative of an attack, and as highlighted above the damage done is pretty minimal for 10 on 2

However the side you take will change the version of events you believe. My point was just that the media is taking a biased approach to the story and could flip it the other way if they wanted

the article clearly says the men made sexually degrading insults to begin with. did you ignore that part?

Oh good so you caught the part where the article was displaying a bias

My statement wouldn’t have made sense if you didn’t

Did you catch the part where she says the men claim she started it and the media didn’t follow up on it?

so, in doubt, you side with the men?

Lol, I haven’t taken a side

I just pointed out a bias and that there isn’t enough information for anyone to take a side

we tend to show bias towards the victims. even if those women started it, they shouldn't have been beaten... by men. if you're a man, you don't touch a woman unless it's self defense.

you really come off as some kind of edgy teen douche. are you an edgy teen douche?

That guy is a troll, and he's not even good at it. The faux high road crap is giving him away.

The faux high road crap

because it's impossible that someone in the 21st century has actual morals? you people are fucked.

We don’t know who the victim is

All we know is the woman claims to be the victim and the men claim to be the victim

you don’t touch a woman unless it’s self defense.

Equality, you don’t touch anyone unless it’s self defence

the victim is the WOMAN, how was beaten mercilessly by a GROUP OF MEN. jesus christ, people. only in a morally bankrupt society would this even be a question.

Weird then that you would advocate this

i’d ship every person that insists on their religion over science to some hellhole to rot away. building a better world now saves future generations form suffering. the payoff is immeasurable.

When presumably some of those people would be women

women aren't a fey creature that is innately good.

also, i don't see a long term solution for humanity that doesn't involve cracking a few eggs to make an omelet. it's a simple trolley dilemma.
