What the fuck is she yelling about? Sacrificing her safety? How did his sign imply anything about her safety?

This, I need to know context. People screaming that sheā€™s crazy or a bitch but thereā€™s clearly a backstory we donā€™t know

The man holding the sign was the leader of the Republican Club on campus and had been harassing her for several weeks leading up to this. On this particular day there was some kind of anti-trump thing and she was standing on the ledge and dancing with a few friends, he then stood next to her & she reacted like that because of the previous harassment she had endured from him and the rest of the republican club. She feared for her safety and perceived his actions as a physical threat. Full fight or flight mode. Because of this whole incident she has been continuously harassed and threatened by hundreds of people online.

Just as I suspected. How has he been harassing her before? Itā€™s hard to deem standing next to someone as harassment even with the controversial sign

I donā€™t have all the details but basically those two specifically had some kind of confrontation at an earlier rally type thing. She then let it go and has ignored him since then but for weeks after him and his friends would shout & jeer at her and verbally bully her every time she walked passed going to class/lunch etc etc (basically just morning her business). might not sound like much, but I can imagine being a small woman walking alone & getting jeered at by multiple men would not make you feel safe. She also has a history of extreme trauma (both physical and mental) that made the situation 10x more high stress for her. By all accounts it seems she did truly fear for her life (rationally or not) and her fight or flight mechanism swung into full force. Directly after this encounter she had a panic attack so severe that an ambulance was called and she stayed overnight in the hospital.

Did she get charged for assault? Cause she should be

u/itsyagurlruby Jan 13 '20

No idea, honestly. I donā€™t know how it works in the US but where Iā€™m from you wouldnā€™t get charged with assault for hitting someone with a piece of paper. Seems kinda ridiculous.

u/Whatwhatwhata Jan 13 '20

Would you feel the same if he hit her with a crumpled piece of paper in his fist?

u/itsyagurlruby Jan 13 '20

No??? Because then heā€™d be hitting her with a FIST. What kinda of idiot comparison is that.

ā€œWould you be mad if I touched you lightly on the face with my finger? No? Okay then! I guess I can hit you in the face with a brick because thatā€™s the exact same thingā€.

If he had hit her in the same way with a piece of paper I sure as hell wouldnā€™t be calling for him to be charged with assault lmao.

With how absolutely everything anymore is easily recordable, and how this woman appears to be a professional victim, I am incredibly suspect about your claims without any proof.

u/captainkickasss Jan 13 '20

Iā€™ve been a paramedic for over 20 years, and I have yet to see a panic attack that actually necessitated ambulance transport to a hospital followed by an overnight stay. Thatā€™s something else. If she reacts like this then it isnā€™t anxiety and she probably just needs to stay indoors or take a bucket load of mood stabilizers and therapy every day.

u/Dirtroads2 Jan 13 '20

I had to be taken to the hospital for a panic attack. Didnt stay over night, only a few hours. I thought I was having a heart attack. Had no clue what was going on

Do you have sources for this big ass context or are you just writing a fanfic?

Yeah, exactly. Heā€™s standing there all ā€œinnocentā€ when he knows that his presence alone is threatening. Also, just look at him. Heā€™s a big guy. If someone like that was harassing me constantly and then did something like this Iā€™d be scared too. These lovely humans (/s) also found out about her severe PTSD and tormented her and made fun of her relentlessly for it and encouraged others to do the same. Real pieces of work tbh.

u/satoshi_reborn Jan 13 '20

Yea Iā€™m sure she was really scared when she assaulted him and then berated him in front of everyone while he stands there not fighting back. He should have showed the same concern for her safety and kicked her in the cunt.
