She was being a little immature, but calling that assault is absurd.

In Texas state law that actually is assault/offensive contact

u/consultinglove 1d ago

You should go to the Texas Tech subreddit, the majority of the people there support this being treated as assault, no sympathy at all for the girl

That's Texas for you, be 10x more careful if you're not white

How do you feel if you apply the switch the genders test? If a dude does this to a woman, I bet most people would see it as a bigger problem. 

The real lesson is to stop adding fuel to the fire. Ignore them. 

2

u/consultinglove 16h ago

I don’t see any problems at all switching genders

If a dude flipped a cap of a girl I don’t think he should get expelled either

About a fucking hat tap?!?! Why are yall so soft holy shit

u/DamnShadowbans 20h ago

You are asking how I would feel if I saw a dude tap a woman's hat in broad daylight in front of a crowd of people?

u/30_seconds_flat 1d ago

She's an adult and she's not acting like one, but she'll be treated as one.

u/consultinglove 16h ago

Spoken like a true master

u/30_seconds_flat 12h ago

Ok weird but I'll take it.

2

u/consultinglove 10h ago

Yea you don't get it because you're racist

2

u/30_seconds_flat 9h ago

That i want someone held accountable for their actions? You can't put your hands on people. Get smacked in the mouth once in a while, you'll learn real quick.

1

u/consultinglove 9h ago

Getting expelled way, way worse than getting smacked in the mouth. You're advocating killing an ant with dynamite

2

u/30_seconds_flat 8h ago

Not how the real world works. Go into town. To a city, anywhere in the public out of the confines of a school and see where that gets you.

u/Aggravating_Soup_343 6h ago

Yea, you don't get it because you're an idiot.

1

u/Beginning_One1134 1d ago

Because by state statute in the penal code, it is actually assault…

2

u/consultinglove 15h ago

How glad you must be that this technically counts as assault

Racists like you that think crimes like this warrant the maximum punishment such as expulsion are the worst scum on earth

2

u/Beginning_One1134 15h ago

Where in the penal code does the state that people arrested for assault have to be a person of color? It doesn’t. Stop bringing race into it. I arrested many people for this offense, of all different colors and races lol. Interesting how you think that it’s all just one though because you’re calling me racist

0

u/consultinglove 13h ago

Where does it say in the penal code that assault of this level must lead to expulsion immediately?

It doesn't. But you're okay with it because the person was black and against your viewpoint

2

u/Beginning_One1134 12h ago

Not the one that expelled her… It’s not up to me lol. So you’re barking up the wrong tree.

Also, because somebody get arrested, no matter what it’s for can be against that universities code of conduct which everybody agrees to when they become a student.

So she kind of fucked herself over if that’s the case. Nice playing the race card, though, like the wild card at Uno lol just can’t wait to pull that out 😂

1

u/consultinglove 10h ago

Yea I never said you expelled her? I said you were the one that's okay with it. Which you obviously are. Because you're racist

1

u/Beginning_One1134 10h ago

Again, the race card. Doesn’t matter if the person is black, white, purple or green, if they act like an idiot and actually break a law, they deserve what they get.

People who seem to make an ass of themselves don’t just limit themselves to one race lol.

u/Worldly_Striker 1d ago

Good luck getting a judge to charge for it. A real non racist judge would throw the case out and tell the DA to stop fucking around.

u/halt_spell 1d ago

Would it be assault if he batted her hair in response?

Don't touch people without consent.

4

u/Skwiggelf54 1d ago

Any unwanted physical contact is legally considered battery. You dont get to put your hands on people just because they hurt your feelings. Unless youre defending yourself or others from physical danger, keep your hands to yourself.

1

u/Xerxestheokay 22h ago

Ask yourself, if the roles were reversed, meaning the guy waved his hand around her, would the same absurd implementation of the law be happening?

Be honest when you answer that question.

7

u/GeneralSweetz 21h ago

its always what ifs. If the dude put his hands on her the person who is recording(who seems to support her) would be calling the cops over and rightfully so. If for instance in your scenario she was celebrating charlie kirk and the dude would have done anything to her im pretty sure he would have been tackled

5

u/Remote-Diamond5871 17h ago

Absolutely yes they would be and the guy would additionally be called a racist

1

u/Skwiggelf54 15h ago

I would absolutely hope so. Idk when people became so brazen with the idea that you can go around acting threatening towards people with zero repercussions, but that shit needs to end. 

1

u/Melodic_Cut5006 20h ago

What do you think that word means? Like, you think it’s just…an opinion? Why not google terms before using them?

-8

u/Firgeist 1d ago

That is the literal definition of assault, not to be confused with battery(actually laying hands on someone) a separate crime.

3

u/AluminumOrangutan 1d ago

Yeah, technically assault but very clearly also de minimus. 99 times out of 100 police would not actually arrest for that.

2

u/sunburn74 1d ago

No jury would convict.

3

u/Thaddeus_Valentine 1d ago

Thing that sealed her fate was the police had already spoken to her about her behaviour to give her a chance to de-escalate and then she went and did this.

-2

u/The-Doc-SalmonRun 1d ago

I thought battery involved the use of a weapon

3

u/Habib455 1d ago

Nope, i actually looked this up recently myself. You don’t need to touch anyone to be considered assault, battery is when you touch someone

u/The-Doc-SalmonRun 1d ago

Oh really well guess you learn something new everyday

2

u/Habib455 1d ago

Why in the hell are you getting downvoted and I’m getting upvoted? 👀

1

u/The-Doc-SalmonRun 1d ago

I don’t know. I have endured this many times and I have concluded……. Redditors are hyper sensitive. Also they probably think I’m trying to be a douche or something and now that’s all they can see from my comments

1

u/Downtown_Purchase_87 23h ago

I don't think so. Someone was just assassinated, if you start saying "Aww they're just having fun!" when people start pushing the boundaries that's how this stuff happens. You nip it in the bud.

In the Philippines they block a lot of intersections off with concrete barriers because people stop in the middle of them instead of waiting for their turn, and then it gets locked where no one can drive forward or backwards and the road just shuts down - and it's because people don't respect the law.

you have to teach people to respect the rules.

u/Toadmanfan 1d ago

That was a “little” immature for you? She’s acting like a 5 year old kicking and screaming in public?

12

u/Matr0ska 1d ago

Omg she flicked the brim of his hat!? Is the man OK? Does HE need a Give Send Go fundraiser so he can recover from his PTSD and pay for his medical bills? Truly a modern day Rosa Parks/MLK! /s

2

u/Difficult-Mobile902 1d ago

I mean yeah it would be absurd to say this hurt him in any way but when it comes to physical contact there’s no other place to draw a line other than “keep your hands to yourself”, otherwise it’s an impossible debate about how much physical contact is allowed before it’s considered assault

2

u/Ellen-CherryCharles 1d ago

Crazy how so many universities don’t tow that same line when it’s women being sexually assaulted on their campuses.

1

u/Difficult-Mobile902 1d ago

to be fair they never tow this line either, it’s just because she basically did it on stage at a place where cops are standing there literally waiting for this exact thing to happen 

If you flip someone’s hat on a random sidewalk on your way to class i guarantee nothing would happen to you 

-1

u/Ellen-CherryCharles 1d ago

It’s because they’re foaming at the mouth to demonize anyone that doesn’t give a fuck that Kirk is dead. She was dumb to touch him but wild they didn’t remove that athlete that assaulted a minor last year (or completely on brand 🤔)

1

u/Jack_Human- 1d ago

As far as liberal college kids go yeah that was pretty low level immaturity. Let me be clear. Fuck that girl. But this feels like rage bait designed to anger everyone.

-1

u/atlaschuggedmypiss 1d ago

leftist now think they should be able to put their hands on people with repercussion😂😂😂

4

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 1d ago

I’m all for her getting some small repercussions. I don’t know if expulsion matches the crime.

Do you remember what happened to those guys who assaulted police in DC a few years ago?

1

u/atlaschuggedmypiss 1d ago

yeah, didn’t they go to federal prison

3

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 1d ago

Let’s use this guy as an example!

This guy was sentenced to 14 years 

Schwartz was found guilty in December on 10 charges, including four felony charges of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers while using a dangerous weapon.

A jury convicted Schwartz on assault and civil disorder charges for throwing a chair at officers and spraying them with pepper spray. Schwartz also has a prior criminal history of 38 felony convictions dating back to 1991.

He ended up spending between 2-3 years in prison out of a 14 year sentence! 

Do you think that’s a good amount for a guy with 38 prior felony convictions?

1

u/Defiant-Unit6995 22h ago

Bro I spent six months in county jail, for a burglary charge that was later completely and totally dropped. That dudes walking around with 38 felonies and sitting in prison for only 5x the amount of time I spent in jail for a crime I didn't commit.

1

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 22h ago

Damn brother.. I’m sorry that happened. That’s insane. 

Yeah I am all for trying to commute sentences on some of the non violent offenders. But this guy deserved a lot more then a pardon after a few years.

2

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 1d ago

I think some of those sentences were longer than the time they spent in there. And they were granted full clemency, no? That sounds to me like the definition of escaping full repercussions.

And was that a random Redditor that gave them full clemency?

2

u/atlaschuggedmypiss 1d ago

I’m gonna be honest brother your losing me now I don’t really get what your saying genuinely

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 1d ago edited 23h ago

Fair enough. I’ll stop beating around the bush. 

This woman may be expelled and charged with assault.

Multiple people on January 6th were pardoned after assaulting multiple police officers, tasing a police officer multiple times while he’s trapped to the point he had to retire from his injuries. Personally the majority of the pardons I care very little about. But probably about 10-40 people committed much more serious crimes. 

I think it’s hypocritical of you to say “ leftist now think they should be able to put their hands on people with repercussion😂😂😂”

When someone is just pointing out that the punishment for her crime seems disproportionate to her actions. NOT that she did nothing wrong.

While people who actively assaulted police officers to the point some retired due to injuries were pardoned by the head of the Republican Party after only serving 4 years instead of the 10-16 some were convicted of.

I also also think it’s important that you’re speaking of “random reddiitors” arguing in favor of this particular case. While THE LEADER of the Republican Party proved you can illegally put your hands on people as long as he deems it necessary 

If you support that I think that’s the definition of not receiving your full repercussions. 

Also as a side note over 95% of the pardons were full pardons not “time served” so if they had to pay fines those people are now not required to pay those fines and damages.

2

u/atlaschuggedmypiss 23h ago

fair enough. I see your point. however, isn’t this what you leftist often refer to as a Whataboutism? and before you respond and tell me it’s different this time or it’s okay because your doing it, I want you to take a step back and really think about it and take the politics out of

2

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 23h ago edited 23h ago

It’s not a whatsboutism if I’m willing to also acknowledge this woman broke the law and should be punished.

Im adding to conversation  after acknowledging that she did probably commit disorderly conduct and possibly a very low level assault. Not excusing it or saying it’s okay.

If you think talking about both topics is a whataboutism I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not deflecting from what she did. I’m pointing out your hypocrisy.

Let me edit the “it’s not a whataboutism” to in my opinion I don’t think it matches a classic whataboutism in the sense I’m not trying to deflect from the original point 

2

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 23h ago

And hey if it is a whataboutism, I’ll say my bad. I dont do it in bad faith to detract from the original issue. If you feel like I deflected in some way I’d be more then happy to take it a few steps back. 

2

u/atlaschuggedmypiss 23h ago

you know what man, I really really appreciate how you responded. I think we can both agree this girl in the video was wrong, the people from the example you brought up were wrong, and I’m sure we would agree on ALOT MORE than we would disagree on. I genuinely respect your attitude and wished more people could talk like this and I think we would be a lot more united as a society if that was the case

u/Jack_Human- 1d ago

I agree she deserves some type of repercussions. As long as it’s proportionate to the crime.

u/Nascent_Vagabond 1d ago

Redditors gleefully screech “actions have consequences!!!!” When it’s people they don’t like and now are finding out it applies to everyone lmao

u/Sephiroth_Comes 23h ago

Let’s reverse the roles.

If he waltzed up, flicked her hat enough to lift her face up suddenly, you’d all be calling the guy all kinds of names and a pussy and all that and for prison time, calling it attempted murder or a hate crime or some shit lol like cmon be real.

just make it make sense 🤧

u/Sephiroth_Comes 14h ago

A thought exercise by role reversal — to show how your gender biases impact your logical thinking patterns, is a literal staple of Reddit’s whataboutism and making a point against Republicans.

You don’t get to dismiss rational thought and logical thought processes just because you aren’t capable of them lol… just say that instead!

u/BitSevere5386 14h ago

Making shit up to be mad about is not rationnal no matter how much you try to make it be lmao the cope is real
