ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Poster gets assaulted, and this nitwit verbally attacks and berates her for responding. Hurtful, rude, insensitive and otherwise inappropriate - four out of six potential criteria met. Please hide.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Aug 17, 2014, 03:34 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is not verbally attacking the OP simply for responding to the guy who grabbed her. The poster is critical of the method that the OP used to respond to that guy. She may have embellished her reply in a way that the OP was insulted by, but the point was made that responding to an assault with an assault is wrong. It is a valid point.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: In context, the alerted-upon post makes sense and does not violate community standards.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No, I won't hide. And this OP reeks of bullshit.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

How do you think a woman should respond while being raped? BainsBane Aug 2014 #14
Hahaha! Her reaction was not a reflex to an an assault. She actually had to seek her assaulter Luminous Animal Aug 2014 #18

Indeed. Plenty of women and children get a "pop" and will think twice about "doing it again". Luminous Animal Aug 2014 #11

I like how the chronological events are twisted as well. littlemissmartypants Aug 2014 #22

I agree. My analogy is awful. But only for the fact that every person who resorts to violence Luminous Animal Aug 2014 #23
I have seen and been the victim of violence and what I did ain't it. littlemissmartypants Aug 2014 #26
Ass grabbed. Confrontation. Confession. Popping in the stomach. Popping is violence. Luminous Animal Aug 2014 #30
So if I grabbed your ass what would you do? littlemissmartypants Aug 2014 #32
Have you ever touched another person that said or did something you didn't like? littlemissmartypants Aug 2014 #35
And if popping is violence then remember that the next time you touch someone who littlemissmartypants Aug 2014 #36

So a pop is now a nudge, eh? Luminous Animal Aug 2014 #25

Not just assault. That constitutes sexual battery as well! nt tblue37 Aug 2014 #3
