If it’s a legitimate assault, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

If you carry a sign reading "you deserve to be raped" then you can't complain about being clubbed on the head, because you obviously are a waste of genetic material

[–] [email protected] 105 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I think "you deserve to be hit over the head with a baseball bat" is an understandable response to "you deserve to be raped".

[–] ulterno 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd say, it's too mild a response, but anything within the line, I guess.

No one deserves to be hurt. Unfortunately, some people do ask for it.

This guy was absolutely asking for it.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

He did deserve it. If you advocate for pointless violence you deserve it back at you.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (6 children)

No, he deserves to be rehabilitated in a facility that can reeducate him from his backwards beliefs.

Unfortunately we are limited by our material conditions, so instead he gets hit with a baseball bat.

"Look, I have neither the time nor the resources to teach you a lesson, so I'm just gonna have to beat the lesson into you with this bat."

a little operant conditioning when we're short on time and long on baseball bats

Literally yes. It seems people are unfamiliar with this type of grift, which was made popular by the Westboro Baptist Church. Show up somewhere and say the most inflammatory (but not directly threatening) things possible until somebody gets fed up and assaults you, then sue that person for damages.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

You know, there's a secret trick to not getting sued for assaulting them...

I disagree. There are definitely people who deserve to be hurt.

I'd argue quite a number of people deserve to be hurt, and this prick is definitely one of them.

  • Pinochet: 91

  • Sheldon Adelson: 87

Checks out.

In France we have Jean-Marie Le Pen. He tortured people and was friends with nazis. He's 96 and still alive.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

For any wondering, no, that's not a coincidence. He is Marine Le Pen's father.

Counterpoint: Jimmy Carter made it to 100.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

True, and Betty White to 99, just a couple weeks plus change from her 100th.

They're very much the EXCEPTION rather than the rule, though..

I used to think that was just a saying but now that I'm in my 40s, it has generally held true, and it suuuucks.

Tabitha Brubaker has been charged felony assault and marijuana possession

Boooo, fuck off with the weed charge on there too

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

He pressed charges over that? I hurt myself worse at work and walk it off. That guy's a bitch.

There was once a time when "Fighting Words" were a viable defense in cases like these, and that sign certainly qualifies as fighting words.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

It's ridiculous that it's not a viable defense now. They've empowered bullies from childhood onwards.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Because the state has a monopoly on violence.

You are not allowed to do violence yourself, you must petition the government to do violence for you. And the government will decide how and when it is appropriate to do violence on your behalf.

So, for example, a white nationalist Nazi saying all women deserve to be raped is not a justifiable reason to do violence.

But a brown person living peacefully where oil is IS reason to do violence. Ok?

A group of people demanding that all LGBTQ+ people be sterilized or executed, no reason to do violence.

Those people defending themselves, now we need to do violence. Got it?

I mean, strutting around with his cranium exposed like that, it was only a matter of time.

That is absolutely horrific, disgusting and vile. Has anyone checked if the bat is ok?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

Hit him again.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

Now time to be around him with a sign reading, “You deserve to be hit on the head with a bat.” I’m certain he’d agree.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

I literally said "FUCK YES" out loud when I read this.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

I've been playing far too much brawl stars. I heard the "wack" in my head and exhaled air out muh nose. 10/10

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, if anyone deserves to be raped it is someone holding a sign threatening rape

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I think she used the baseball bat incorrectly in this particular situation. Opportunity missed!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

He had it coming. I'd even say he doesn't deserve to be raped, just because it's such a terrible act.

But I'm all for the assault in this situation. As I said, he was asking for it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Where's the damn video? Aluminum or a Louisville Slugger? Hopefully she's a softball player.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

There's a video in this article of the moment, tho you can't see her hit him. He's holding the camera and she walks up behind him and clocks him. From the sound of it, the bat was aluminum
