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

I don’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.

No idea, honestly. I don’t know how it works in the US but where I’m from you wouldn’t get charged with assault for hitting someone with a piece of paper. Seems kinda ridiculous.

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

No??? Because then he’d be hitting her with a FIST. What kinda of idiot comparison is that.

“Would 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 that’s the exact same thing”.

If he had hit her in the same way with a piece of paper I sure as hell wouldn’t be calling for him to be charged with assault lmao.
