I thought you were all for equality? Once she assaulted him her size and gender became irrelevant.

He slapped her, its not like he was using his massive size to a disproportionate advantage. A slap is less-than-subtle cue to go away.

Typically I'm against a guy hitting a woman in most instances but I find
bullying like she was doing more disgusting , he has every right to defend himself. She got what she had coming to her and maybe she'll think twice before harassing/assaulting someone just to show off for her friends from now on.

I can't tell from the video, but was she just going off on a random stranger like that? Not trying to make excuses, but maybe he was creeping on her and her friends before the video started and she decided to verbally light him up? Also, at least for the first few seconds, he seemed to be chuckling at her comments.

Clearly there's a major size difference between them and that, combined with the sex difference, makes me uneasy with the epic slap he laid on her. That said, she clearly had it coming. She was relentless with the abrasion and I think she slapped him a couple times, certainly the last time from behind when he was clearly walking away. That is inexcusable.

The best part in all of it though was the camera man. His howling at the end is priceless. He also had the best diss of all "Ain't nobody wear Steve Maddens any more!". Ha ha... that drove that group of women absolutely crazy!

she got what she deserved. He didn't respond initially and was even in the process of walking away when she hit him... He could have cold cocked her with a closed fist but he slapped her... she's lucky.
What if it were your mom or grandma on the train, being harassed and then assulted by that thug? would you want someone to stand up to those bullies then? I'd assume/hope so.

She should consider herself lucky. Maybe next time she hits someone the person decides to slash her face with a razor ... or just shoots her.

Holy hell, all I said is that I didn't find it funny. I didn't say a single word about deserved or undeserved. Just seems like a bizarre form of humour/entertainment.

Which is not "what's funnier than someone getting hit"

You know there's a significant difference there, don't act like there isn't now.

Was I not accurately describing what happened in the video? It would have been the same if it had been a dude half his size, a child half his size, a llama half his size, etc. For the record, it kind of looked like the dude was cornered and didn't really have much of a choice, but it's still something that makes me cringe as opposed to wanting to high-five the guy.

Actually that's not true. I might laugh if a llama got smacked. Llamas are #######s.

It's actually about ethics in zoological journalism.

They're the type of animals that will sit there all docile and friendly looking when there's a fence between you and them. But make no mistake, they are ***holes who would kill every human on earth if given the chance.
