Reply to comment by endlessly_apollo in Assault outside Black Cat after Surf Curse concert by sonicmonkeys

The guy being punched on the ground was involved in a situation at the front of the stage at the end of the show. They pulled him out and he had a bloody nose. After the show, he was standing outside, clearly inebriated, when the assailant (guy in the black sweatshirt/jeans) got in his face and accused him of inappropriately doing something to his girl. The guy denied it, but the assailant didn’t like that answer so he punched him. The guy countered back then that’s when the video starts. Cops and paramedics were called, and a detective was interviewing witnesses. All of those involved were at the Surf Curse concert.

Ah yes, gotta defend one's property.

You don’t think dudes who sexually assault women (who are often physically smaller than them) deserve to get their ass beat by someone who can square up to them? What a weird comment.

You are sooo right, the only imaginable way to handle an alleged assault is to carry out an assault. There can't possibly be a better way to handle this.

Tell me you haven’t dealt with MPD, without telling me that you haven’t dealt with MPD

Accurate. In DC laws only apply to those who follow them. Even if the police wanted to charge someone (they don't) the charges wouldn't stick.

Honestly I think the take down is fair game. Talk shit get hit. The punch after is questionable and the kick was for sure bad. But still, the dude deserves consequences for his actions and that sure as fuck ain't coming from MPD

The kick in the head is attempted murder, period. No excuses for that.

Sorry you got downvoted for that, its a fair point about the 'ownership' apostrophe.

It’s not always about “property.” Many people believe that a woman should be defended against disrespectful men by the man she’s with, and some people stupidly jump to violence as the first line of defense.

any defending to be done would have been inside, at the time of the alleged incident. Carrying the fight on outside? The only thing he's defending at that point is his ego.
