In reply to the discussion: Italian protester's kiss was 'sexual violence' [View all]joshcryer
(62,287 posts)75. That woman is in a head lock.
Look closely.
Our minds are manipulated by the renditions of that photograph in media, where the arm is much more relaxed and just allowing her head to rest. In that photo it's obvious he's got her in a head lock and her chin appears to indicate she's pulling away and her clinched fist appears to indicate stress.
In reality the woman in white to the left was his actual girlfriend and he drunkenly mistook this woman for his girlfriend.
