I want to cry for this poor man. Why would anyone do this? Really makes you think humanity is going down the toilet

Cue thread expressing outrage at outrageous behaviour:yawn:
Still, it doesn't justify the completely disproportionate response of assaulting a pensioner.
Exactly, we've only seen one side of the story. It clearly wasn't a random attack as implied in the article, we don't know why she was so angry.
Still scum behaviour obviously, but not as reported. There is no reference to ethnicity or religion in the vid either.
He touched her when he tried to push her away. I would have thought that was what she was referring to, the fact that he had the audacity to try and fight back.
Are you seriously suggesting that a lone 80 year old man would inappropriately touch a girl whilst she was with a gang of her friends. Really?
The desperation of some people to try and explain away or justify verbal and physical abuse against certain sections of society is pretty disappointing.
We just don't know, do we? I'd like to believe that an 80 year wouldn't do such a thing, but then I'd also like to believe a teenager wouldn't act so atrociously. I'd rather have all the facts to hand than judge so quickly, as you do.
You simply don't know what led up to this situation, so your conclusions are imaginary. What she did is still disgusting, whatever the reasons, but we don't know the reasons: the information isn't there.
It is if he sexually assaulted her as she claimed. Good for her. He only got pushed over.
Big "if" though. But not as absolute as you suggest.
I agree
My guess, and it is only a guess, is that she was taking the piss out of him or something, maybe getting in his face, so he tried to push her away, and inadvertently touched her boob, which she then used as an "excuse" for "defending herself from a paedo".
Irrelevant. Anger is not a defence to assault.
-And it is impossible to argue that spitting at someone on the ground is an act of self defence, even if everything else she did was lawful self defence, which it almost certainly wasn't.
It clearly wasn't self defence as she struck the first blow (although he was confronting her about something), but my point was that the whole story could be looked at differently if before what we saw in the video, he had groped her breast.
As I said earlier, whatever her reason, her actions are disgusting. But it is still enlightening to discover the reasons for those actions, no? And that would be the purpose of a trial.
1 - She is nuts and should be locked up
2 - He did something to ask for it
Noone will know what sparked it unless its released!
I think the possibility of him having grabbed her breast first is zero. He touched her in his attempt to protect himself by pushing her away.
Those of you who would rather make up scenarios where the old man is a sexual predator Instead of the innocent victim of an attack say more about your own attitudes than anything else. You claim to be even handed and not jumping to conclusions. Yeh right.
You snipped my post. He touched her when he was trying to defend himself. That isn't inappropriate touching. She had already started beating him up.
