Pregnant girl attacked on metro bus

[kevman]

This would have NEVER happened in the 60's.....teenage pregnancy was much less prevalent back then.

There's gonna be more the story - one of the chicks is on the video saying that the pregnant chick took her phone and the guy is acting like he knows those people. Any other dude would level those bitches, especially if it was totally random.

Yea way to calm and they were talking before so there is a lot being left out.

I don't care what color the people are. that they did just proves that they are savages and worse. there is no reason to attack a pregnant women.

 

[sourceninja]

I'm sorry, if you attack my family I'm going to do anything required to end that attack. I'll start with asking and pushing myself in-between and if that doesn't work I'll escalate until you do stop. I bet the girls would have stopped had he just slapped the shit out of one of them.

Guy, girl, horse, I don't really care. My families health and safety trumps any kind of 'code of honor' or rights of the aggressors. I will hit a woman if that is what it takes to keep my wife safe.

Looks like they stole HIS iPhone.

 

[mvbighead]

I am just wondering why no one else on the bus gets involved? Pregnant girl, boyfriend who tries to keep his girl cool and hold off the attacks without fighting back, and yet it continues with no one even attempting to restrain the bitch that's kicking the dude in the head.

I'm sorry, but someone pulling that shit deserves a strong punch in the wind bag, female or not.

If that was my GF and she was pregnant, I'd have hit every one of those stupid bitches and gladly took the charges.

i knew they were black before i clicked the link. stereotypes exist for a reason.

True dat

 

[mrCide]

If it was random, and my GF, I also would have beaten the shit out of them. Charges or not.

 

[Jeeebus]

in all fairness, if she's not due until June, I doubt she was showing or that anyone could tell she was pregnant.

Not that I think it would have made a difference to these scumbags, but it should be pointed out nonetheless.

i was guessing asian.

I knew they were black because he called them savages. alkemyst is trying to start a flame war like the one that happened a month ago. Can't find the original thread, but this one was related: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2118628&highlight=savages

because they were acting like civilized human beings.

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

I just watched the whole tape and I REALLY admired that guy. He was very cool and not ONCE hit them c*nts (sorry, those b*tches really deserve that name, especially the one that tried to kick the guy not one but several times).



I know someone will say that those b*tches did not do anything wrong and it is all whities/Republicans/Bush/fill in the blank faults and not theirs whatsoever.

meh... pretty sure none of their blows hurt him.

still wondering why the melee began. they were saying she tried to steal her phone?

if he left out savages i would have still assumed they were black, statistically assuming that is a very save bet. its not racist. its a fact that black people commit more crimes

Why wouldn't the boyfriend stomp the bitches out?

 

[Jeeebus]

I'm sure Rosa Parks would be proud that the movement is still alive. These girls should be commended for making sure that the white girl knew the back of the bus is for blacks only (unless we whities pay the appropriate reparations in the form of a free Ipod).

Because attacking minors will always make you the bad guy. The bullshit saying "kids will be kids" holds up very well in court.

 

[Homerboy]

The bus was packed (per the article) and nobody did anything?

I read the bus daily, through some very shitty parts of town and there are often "questionable" people on there (in fact I had a run in once or twice with a few punks) and I assure that if I EVER saw ANYONE getting attacked like this I'd step in. WTF was everyone doing while this happened?

The victim being pregnant almost has no baring on the issue (she's due in June so its not like she was really showing that much). Regardless, of her state, what these animals (yes animals) did is appalling.

Did anyone catch the subtle "boarded the bus via the rear doors" portion? so they got on the bus illegally too. Awesome.

LOL no it wouldn't. It wouldn't at all. He wouldn't have to dismember them... but a well placed punch or two, and these chicks would likely be out or at least stop (unless they were... ahem... "big").

I'm going to guess that the boyfriend is just fairly meek and skinny/timid etc. Nothing wrong with that and his reluctance to step in. 5 on 1 is never good odds no matter what. I'm still amazed NOBODY else on the bus helped out? WTF?!?!?

How would he know they were minors? Self defense doesn't apply to minors?

add black and girls to the sentence and he's got odds stacked against him.

if it were me, i would've gladly knocked the teeth out of one of them to set an example for the rest.

wrong.

 

[actuarial]

While I don't think the guy is bad for this, I'm surprised people 'admire' a guy for not hitting back at people who were kicking his pregnant girlfriend in the back and punching her in the face.

I haven't watched the video yet though as I am at work, so I'll reserve final judgement for now.

 

[halik]

Because there's more to the story than what the article talks about. His action would make sense if the white pregnant chick was the aggressor, that way his actions are purely defensive and not likely to be considered and assault?

I declare shenanigans. If a group of 5 chicks started attacking a random pregnant girl with the boyfriend nearby, the guy would most certainly deck them all. His actions are entirely inconsistent with the story given.

I think the question is how far do you go on the offensive. I know a lot of people say he should have just starting beating on the 4 girls, but I think he handling himself fine.
