If it’s a legitimate assault, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

If you carry a sign reading "you deserve to be raped" then you can't complain about being clubbed on the head, because you obviously are a waste of genetic material

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 107 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think "you deserve to be hit over the head with a baseball bat" is an understandable response to "you deserve to be raped".

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd say, it's too mild a response, but anything within the line, I guess.

No one deserves to be hurt. Unfortunately, some people do ask for it.

This guy was absolutely asking for it.

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 80 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He did deserve it. If you advocate for pointless violence you deserve it back at you.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

No, he deserves to be rehabilitated in a facility that can reeducate him from his backwards beliefs.

Unfortunately we are limited by our material conditions, so instead he gets hit with a baseball bat.

"Look, I have neither the time nor the resources to teach you a lesson, so I'm just gonna have to beat the lesson into you with this bat."

a little operant conditioning when we're short on time and long on baseball bats

Literally yes. It seems people are unfamiliar with this type of grift, which was made popular by the Westboro Baptist Church. Show up somewhere and say the most inflammatory (but not directly threatening) things possible until somebody gets fed up and assaults you, then sue that person for damages.

[–] kurwa@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (6 children)

You know, there's a secret trick to not getting sued for assaulting them...

I disagree. There are definitely people who deserve to be hurt.

I'd argue quite a number of people deserve to be hurt, and this prick is definitely one of them.

  • Pinochet: 91

  • Kissinger: 100
  • Mugabe: 95
  • Sheldon Adelson: 87

Checks out.

In France we have Jean-Marie Le Pen. He tortured people and was friends with nazis. He's 96 and still alive.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For any wondering, no, that's not a coincidence. He is Marine Le Pen's father.

Counterpoint: Jimmy Carter made it to 100.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

True, and Betty White to 99, just a couple weeks plus change from her 100th.

They're very much the EXCEPTION rather than the rule, though..

I used to think that was just a saying but now that I'm in my 40s, it has generally held true, and it suuuucks.

Your body, my choice to hit it with a baseball bat.

Tabitha Brubaker has been charged felony assault and marijuana possession

Boooo, fuck off with the weed charge on there too

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He pressed charges over that? I hurt myself worse at work and walk it off. That guy's a bitch.

There was once a time when "Fighting Words" were a viable defense in cases like these, and that sign certainly qualifies as fighting words.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's ridiculous that it's not a viable defense now. They've empowered bullies from childhood onwards.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Because the state has a monopoly on violence.

You are not allowed to do violence yourself, you must petition the government to do violence for you. And the government will decide how and when it is appropriate to do violence on your behalf.

So, for example, a white nationalist Nazi saying all women deserve to be raped is not a justifiable reason to do violence.

But a brown person living peacefully where oil is IS reason to do violence. Ok?

A group of people demanding that all LGBTQ+ people be sterilized or executed, no reason to do violence.

Those people defending themselves, now we need to do violence. Got it?

I mean, strutting around with his cranium exposed like that, it was only a matter of time.

"I shouldn't have stuck around" he said...

Captain obvious right there

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

That is absolutely horrific, disgusting and vile. Has anyone checked if the bat is ok?

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's still standing in the picture, we should let her try again

Hit him again.

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

I literally said "FUCK YES" out loud when I read this.

[–] don@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

Now time to be around him with a sign reading, “You deserve to be hit on the head with a bat.” I’m certain he’d agree.

[–] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I've been playing far too much brawl stars. I heard the "wack" in my head and exhaled air out muh nose. 10/10

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I mean, if anyone deserves to be raped it is someone holding a sign threatening rape

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I think she used the baseball bat incorrectly in this particular situation. Opportunity missed!

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

He had it coming. I'd even say he doesn't deserve to be raped, just because it's such a terrible act.

But I'm all for the assault in this situation. As I said, he was asking for it.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where's the damn video? Aluminum or a Louisville Slugger? Hopefully she's a softball player.

[–] WeirdyTrip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

There's a video in this article of the moment, tho you can't see her hit him. He's holding the camera and she walks up behind him and clocks him. From the sound of it, the bat was aluminum

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I sure hope her bat didn’t get dented, it can be a real pain to find one that swings just right.
