He was also arrested on assault charges himself at least twice that I know of.

I mean the guy is an asshole but we should not bash every asshole over the head with a baseball bat.

Aside from it being morally wrong I don’t think it’d work. It’d take to much time.

Lol you’re righ

Did he really tell her not to hit him with the bat? Or is he just saying this now because he regretted it the next morning?

Understandable saying but there are also people who dress to feel "sexy" and feel creeped out after getting hit on and that too is a ???.
justagirlchildpassingthrough
I said it's a understandable saying just saying some approach the saying incorrectly so that they can complain about the situation they know

They put themselves in

Yes he's a total fucking (so many possible names) but assault with a baseball bat can land you in prison for 10+ years. He's not worth it.

Yep, Tabitha Brubaker was arrested and charged with felony assault. 5-15 years in prison. She ruined her life over that asshole.

Go to the url, this is four years old. She was jailled at least until 2018 which is the latest article a cursory gooogle finds.

i mean it was assault with a deadly weapon _/(._.)\_
Corrodias
It's a shame they didn't take provocation more into account.
MigraMines
if provocation was an excuse there would be quite a few people that would end up dead or beaten.

It is, in some jurisdictions. It's not a *complete* defense, but it does, where applicable, typically reduce homicide to manslaughter. »

I’ve heard the woman was an excellent competition swimmer, so she’ll be let off with a slap on the wrist.

She should definitely be punished. As anyone else should get rightfully charged, no matter their job.

Mickeysofine
She'll probably be charged with assault.
jazzwicket
Yeah, this is an unjustified assault but it's typical of imgur that 90% of comments here focus on how he's a victim whereas on a post...
jazzwicket
...about a woman getting hit for being aggressive, 90% of the comments will be "Equal rights, equal lefts" or something dumb like that.
OliverClothesoff70
You are entirely full of shit. This asshole guy received a bat to the head for words on a sign. The "woman getting hit for being (1)
OliverClothesoff70
aggressive" as you describe it, is getting hit by the person YOU hit first. Your gender does not make it OK to hit first. Ever. (2)
jazzwicket
Yeah I said getting hit is never justified. But I've seen at least two posts here where a woman simply squares up to a man & gets hit first
jazzwicket
The responses on those were pretty universally that she deserved it because if she wants to act like a man she should get hit like one.

Cool motive. Still assault
PrissySnail
Yeah, why does no one side with the ones condoning rape these days? /s
Melonfish
Are you taking about his sign or the attack?
profssrfink
Both really. But using your freedom of speech to condone rape is pretty horrendous. People are gonna people.
LionFromTheNorth
This is why we have juries, to give the law some interpretation. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.
Treblaine
She has a not totally unreasonable grounds to self-defence under fighting words doctrine. He did say "you deserve" not "x-group deserves"
Treblaine
For example if someone approached you and said "you deserve as ass whooping" that is effectively a threat of violence which is assault.
Jjjoestar
A threat of violence is “I’m gonna hurt you” you’re wrong.
Treblaine
No I'm right, the definition of assault doesn't require the perp make an explicit confession but merely create the apprehension.
mallerzkay
None of that is how the law works. Even if someone hits you, it's illegal to hit them back unless you are actively defending yourself -
Treblaine
(2) If someone flashes a gun saying "I don't want to use this, so beat it" still assault even if they didn't literally say "I'll shoot you"
Jjjoestar
Well that’s different because the person brandished a firearm. It doesn’t stand in a court of law.
Hardie86
So is rape, Argument still stands
lordtzar
We disagree and i was assaulted once so because we disagree I'm entitled to rape you?

Kuvajainen
Yes.
RackhamTheRed
You're on to something
Treblaine
Good point. If someone tells you "you deserve an ass whooping" that's 'Fighting Words' that can mean "I'm gonna hurt you" which is Assault.
Grimmy32
No. It isn't. It is a threat, not an assault. But you would likely never find a court hold that judgement up... because it's too loose.
Treblaine
A threat can be assault, don't mix it up with "battery". https://injury.findlaw.com/torts-and-personal-injuries/elements-of-assault.html
Treblaine
What it means by "more than just words" is someone can't commit assault via the internet as they can't punch through the screen.

No I'm well aware of them. I just wasn't aware we the people at any point gave them the right. They just kind of, did it.
kojenk
The vast majority of publically open nazis who got punched the fuck out have stopped advertising that shit.
Feedingyouspiderswhileyousleep
Which is bad. You want these people in the open. Freedom of speech lets you know who the idiots are. Punching them didn't change them.
kojenk
fuck that. dont apply your own context. These assholes were applying actual influence to the open public and now that is gone.
Feedingyouspiderswhileyousleep
If you feel hitting people changes them cool. In the case of the story, she did 60 days and he is still a cunt out there with signs.

I am not saying talking with them will change them either. Some people are just cunts.

Sorry son, but you are strictly on the wrong side of this question. Hope you or no one you care about ever suffers sexual violence, cuz it’s
JustSomePersonThere
...evident that the concept of “rape” is a mere abstraction to you.
CheeseB0t
Don't let your emotions get the better of you. Just coz they think hitting him was wrong doesn't mean they think rape is ok or don't get it.
JustSomePersonThere
Fair, I DID let my emotions get to me. It’s hard to stop it when A) ppl treat it like a joke and B) I’ve seen the trauma it causes.
JustSomePersonThere
As a consequence, I’m forced to conclude that such people are (thankfully) too far removed it to treat it with the gravity it deserves.
CheeseB0t
I mean really.. Why do people still pull that shit?
yzark01
This is assuming assault and rape are equal crimes in your eyes? Which would be so fucking messed up.
BearForceTwo
the 2 "crimes" here are assault and having a shit opinion. things dont have to be equal to say that neither is okay. neither is okay here.

There's nothing disorderly about holding up a sign, peacefully exercising first amendment rights.

I agree, but people who have a problem with anything, should call the police, instead of deciding themselves to intervene.

The amount of times that happens, isn't statistically significant enough to even bring it up in the discussion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words this is up to debate but by him phrasing it as "you" it crosses the line.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
Into physical violence worthy of physical retaliation?
Treblaine
Depends on EXACTLY how he phrased it, did he phrase it as a threat, as in "you deserve an ass whooping", hard to explain in 140 characters.
Traja01
Yes. Absolutely. God forbid you or someone you love get raped. But maybe then you’d understand.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
My sister was raped. The rapist did not commit the sin of talking, he raped someone.
ItWasntSupposedToBeThisWay
But bringing a bat might push it into premeditated assault.
Treblaine
Premeditation isn't a factor in assault nor battery.
ItWasntSupposedToBeThisWay
No, but it definitely removes the fighting words defense.
Treblaine
No it doesn't. Fighting words isn't so much a "defence" but the constitutional basis for why the law can't protect all speech.
IronicDancing
Are you gonna step in and defend him?
shadowex3
Yes, because there was a time people advocating for my race not being exterminated was as offensive as what he's advocating right now.
Treblaine
Only on the grounds like a piece of shit like that is just the sort to use that as an excuse to retaliate excessively to a fight he provoked
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Him as a person or his right to think and say shitty things without fear of violence? Because those are two VERY different things.
IronicDancing
I was referring to the former.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
I'll defend his right to speak and not get beaten, yes
OliverClothesoff70
Me too. As fucking hideous as his thoughts are, Freedom of Speech protects him too. This gets lost on Imgur a lot. People want the (1)
OliverClothesoff70
system to ONLY allow speech they personally agree with and want to actively prevent anyone they disagree with from ever speaking. (2)
OliverClothesoff70
That is a Thought Police mentality. It's anti-freedom. It surprises me how many times I've had that debate on here. (3)
LegendaryKatman
Correct... and then call him a piece of shit.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
Yes, then do that
IronicDancing
Not what I asked.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
My apologies, what are you asking specifically?
IronicDancing
Would you step in to defend this guy physically? As in put yourself in harm's way for him?
NonBinaricAllBarbaric
I agree we should aim to be beyond physical violence, though I cannot defend or condone hate speech.
Josefbugman1543
When does violence towards a person become something meritable?
FEMAcampsarereal
This comes close.
LegendaryKatman
Um, when they are committing violence against you.
Frozenspokes
When that person is evil. I think that description applies in that man's case.
yzark01
Usually when it becomes justifiable, which is normally difficult. But protecting people from things like rape is always meritable.
ActuallyMadeOfCheese
IMO - it doesn't. It may absolutely be the least bad thing to do out of a set of bad things to do, but that doesn't make it a good thing.
Treblaine
Fighting Words doctrine may give her a substantial defence especially as it was "you deserve" not "x group deserves".
Josefbugman1543
That's a legal argument, but I would attest not a MORAL argument.
Treblaine
The moral argument is much easier, but depends how deep you want to go. Morally the person approves of people being violently attacked.
Treblaine
However he is allowed to be a hypocrite and he is allowed to demand hypocritical laws... but democracy doesn't work by threats.

...then he’s not going to even get a chance to do anything even remotely to that. It’s always been OK to defend yourself from threats.
OliverClothesoff70
I agree rape is abhorrent, but this asshole's sign isn't a threat. Saying something SHOULD happen to someone isn't directly threatening them
Dagordae
When that person is so irredeemably terrible that they are a stain on the species. Like someone cheerleading rape.

They can, but the problem is they often won't unless directly confronted.

Depends how he said it. Just like how if someone told you "you deserve as ass whooping" can be a threat you're justified to respond to.

Looking more into the guy, yes I’d say it was the right thing to do. In the name of humanity.

It wouldn't have been the right thing to do to Hitler... Nobody is above the law, it makes you just as bad as the other person...
Traja01
Just as bad? No. Sorry. You can argue I shouldn’t assault the guy but you’d be wrong to equalize the offenses.
Onfire7
True, I suppose the person that assaults someone is worse then the person who only holds a sign. Don't get me wrong, he's a terrible >

Right thing and lawful thing are not synonymous. Legality does not define morality. And the moral thing here is up for debate and subjective
Onfire7
True, but people with stupid opinions don't know they have them. So if we allow this, we allow people with stupid opinions to attack people>
Onfire7
>that have normal opinions... That's dangerous AF... Only reasonable thing is to disallow all assaults, deserved or not...

All it takes for evil to triumph, is for good men (mankind) to do nothing.

You’re right of course, Debbie Downer :)

Was it the right thing to do? Yes. Was it legal? No. Should it be? Probably not, but there *should* be other ways of dealing with him.
pdup231910
He got what he deserved and that's not right? Right and legal are different. The law often lacks justice.

but most important : was this a useless but fun thing to do ? YES !

The phrase "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend your freedom to say it" comes to mind. Freedom of speech applies even here.

Yelling at people with a megaphone that they deserve to be sexually assaulted is not protected speech, its harassment and disturbing the

peace. If you're going to try to advocate free speech, please learn what it is first.
Zangakkar
Yeah and when people break the law what do you do, hit them with bats or call the fucking cops?
bloodydingo
No what he did was harassment of minors. Potentially a sex offense since it was sexual in nature.

Freedom from repurcussions is not guaranteed in the Constitution.
HighImpactSexualViolence
True. And it's important to remember that the constitution only protects you from direct government action.
Mizopoad
No but it is protected in the law. You can't go around assaulting people because you don't like the things they're saying.
WeylandYutaniCorp
Yes you can. You just go to jail for it. ;)
