It's too bad that happened, and I dunno if I'm victim blaming or whatever... But the one girl followed the group and said that's not ok. Yeah she called them out, but there's consequences to stuff like that. Either way hope they catch those pricks

The point was that those men weren't supposed to harass them in the first place.

"Weren't supposed to"

Yeah the real world with it's infinite variables doesn't work like that.

Yes there is being right but also being stupid.

Here lies the body of William Jay, Who died maintaining his right of way— He was right, dead right, as he sped along, But he's just as dead as if he were wrong.

Exactly, gotta pick your battles and be wise about shit

A guy I worked with would pull shit like this on the road all the fucking time. I remember once my wife was dropping me off at work, she starts complaining that the guy in the right lane is deliberately not letting her merge, look over and sure enough it's the guy I work with.

He is going to get someone killed one day

Are you saying she provoked them somehow, and they didn’t even know she was gay? I am just trying to clarify the point here

According to the article it started with them insulting one of the girls due to appearance, then the girlfriend defended and followed the group. According to the group of guys the women got violent first but who knows who’s telling the truth.

I dunno man, it's really hard to make a judgment just based on an article. Who knows what facts were left out. But if a group of men are talking shit, yeah maybe it'll make your blood boil and you could say "fuck off bully" or something as just a counter, but to actively follow them? Just escalating and not the hill you wanna die on just to stand up... my opinion is colored though from my interactions with other female sex couples and found they argumentative and just crazy in general. Whatever logical fallacy or argument rule I broke I don't know, just stating my opinions here.
