Why should your sense of worth be tied to external forces? Why would one be so insecure to allow themselves to be humiliated by another person's words or actions? I'm saddened to see so many insecure people in this thread justify his actions based on the idea that she "humiliated" him.

When she threw the beer, his immediate reaction was RAGE (maybe he's on steroids). What you people don't see is that he's a cowardly, fragile individual... yet you're all condoning it and agreeing with it. I just don't get it.

Not that I condone the guys actions (he is a dick)...but I dont understand how getting a beer in your face is not humiliating to you.

I read the news posting after this video was released, the guy who swept the girl got stabbed in the spine at a nightclub that very same evening and was paralyzed from the neck down... it was reported in the news here locally because our news program has a nightly "random news from a random place in the world" segment.

It's not insecurity, and it's not so philosophical. It's a very simple, natural, human level. I am out with friends and suddenly I have beer all over my face and clothing. There is a woman yelling at me in public making a scene.

For him to say "Sorry" after she threw beer in his face...are you kidding?

I guess Carrie shouldn't have been humiliated either by other people's words or actions.

I'm not sure how I would have responded (i've never hit a woman), but I certainly would NOT have "just walked away". That doesn't make you a stronger man, that makes you a pussy that doesn't stand up for himself. Based on THIS IMAGE ALONE, the guy got disrespected. She disrespected him by throwing that drink in his face. Should she be made to feel that an action like that is an acceptable one? Certainly, apologizing and walking away is going to make her feel as if it's acceptable. If a woman ever did that to me I would be furious, in her face, scaring the shit out of her, but I wouldn't have laid a finger on her. I just would have made her realize that that shit is most certinaly NOT "ok". By pussing out there, you leave her to do the same thing to some other guy, or to push her further down the road of believing she is untouchable or somehow in the right when she treats people this way. The male/female thing is less the issue here than the respect thing, IMO.
 
If a dude threw a beer in my face I'd probably punch him. I'm not sure why you should act any different if it's a woman.

This entire notion that retaliation is cowardly is hilariously awful to me. If someone does something to you that you do not want done you don't have to have a fragile ego or be a coward to get pissed off about it. And people who don't get pissed off about it aren't bigger men. People who don't get pissed off about it like to say they're the bigger person because they like to think that their morality is superior to the morality of others, and in a way that's far more shallow than the person who says "You do something bad to me, I do something bad to you."

Frankly, I don't want a beer thrown in my face. It will stain my clothing, make me wet and uncomfortable, and is a clear sign of disrespect. If it happens, I will make sure that I get the satisfaction of inflicting on the antagonist an action which is against their wishes.

Exactly. A very simple, human reaction. Like a Neanderthal. A primate. An animal. And that's exactly what's wrong with the world. It's vicious cycle perpetuated by insecurity. She attacks him, he attacks her, and he ends up with a knife in the back (assuming the story is true). We get nowhere and everyone stands on the sidelines applauding.

I sent this .gif to a friend of mine and he didn't really find it funny.

What was your INITIAL reaction to the image? I laughed-- I'd never ever ever attack a woman, but it was funny to me. He didnt laugh-- although he said he could see how one could find it funny.

Where do you all stand?

they both look like trash to me.

but the guy is a bigger prick. she didn't hit him, she threw her drink on him. he retaliated with violence.

Totally agree...I did not mean to imply there would be no repercussions...like Chris Rock said...'I wont hit a girl, but I'll shake the shit out of her' (shake could be mental like you suggest...dont think I could hit/hurt physically a girl...unless life or death, but then everything is out the window.

When you get humiliated depends on YOU not the other party. Getting a beer on your face justifies for getting pissed though.

how do you react when someone disrespects you? With a friendly handshake? A smile? An apology?

You make such a good point. I think we should do away with all forms of punishment. Because really, punishment is just an attack on an individuals human rights. So basically someone attacks someone else, and we attack them. It really gets us nowhere.

It's his fault for not having a bigger cup-O-drank with him, to throw back in her face (preferably purple).

He used what he had in those few split seconds he had to do something. And that was Down + Roundhouse.

I KNEW you would bring it here. :lol

It's natural as in human nature, not a fucking animal. If someone hits me, I will defend myself. If someone yells at me, I will assess the situation and react. If someone throws a drink in my face, I'm not going to apologize to them for throwing a drink in my face.

Am I applauding him attacking her? No, please show me where I said that. Go ahead and quote me. Where did I say, "That was an awesome sweep, she deserved that exact act and that is how I would have handled it. Great work!"

Your argument is lame. It is humiliating, no one should apologize for being victimized, the end.

Sure this could be a problem with the world, but doing away with any repercussions for obviously terrible actions is not the right way to go about it. I do agree that physically attacking her was out of line though, throwing a drink back at her would have let him walk away with his ego intact.

Did you watch the video? It starts out with her saying 'Why the fuck did you do that?'

Obviously the guy started some shit with the girl. What he did? I have no idea.. but he then responded to her questioning by poking her in the face.. She then threw her drink on the guy..


the guy has some serious issues.. as do anyone defending him (after watching the video)..
 
Lesson to be learnt here, think before you react. Yes she was a douche for throwing a beer at him. He reacted violently and physically attacked her. If she busted her head open on the concrete, off to jail he goes but instead he's now eating through a straw and shitting in a bag.

Was all that really worth it for having a beer thrown in your face? No.

The last thing i would do if someone threw his drink at me is attacking him. I'm not a violent person like some people here. Of course i wouldn't smile or handshake, but i would certainly not attack him.

Didn't watch the video, and don't particularly care to. If you're examining this purely from the perspective of the gif it's kind of irrelevant. The question here is whether or not it's just (and/or funny) that a guy who gets a drink thrown on him (for reasons completely unknown, so we have to assume there is no good reason) sweeps the leg of the woman who does it. In that limited context, while his reactions was extreme, it was also justified in some way.

When you watch the video, more details are revealed...but the conversation in here is about the gif.

One night after martial arts the class about 20 of us went out for dinner. We were walking through the park on a fairly narrow path. A man heads towards us walking briskly. He slams fairly hard into someone as he passes by and yells out "watch out bitch!" Now, this could have been the worst night of this guy's life. He just body checked a black belt backed up by 20 of his friends. But we all immediately have the same reaction: do nothing and let the man pass.

It is cowardly to beat up on anyone, period. Now, if you're engaged in a situation that has escalated to violence, of course you have to use self defense. But when there is no immediate threat to your life or your physical well being any violent act occurs only because you're an insecure person with a very fragile ego - an ego driven by external events rather than any concept of internal self worth.

Maybe after learning all that. But from the .gif it makes her look like the culprit.

I can't see the video so until I get home, she's an evil varmin. :D
 
I think the dude had a rat tail and was wearing his sunglasses like a douche. He deserved a beer in the face for that regardless of anything else; didn't deserve the stabbing though.

See, the only thing that I find cowardly in that situation is that your friend did nothing to set the person straight. The reaction doesn't have to be violence, but there is nothing wrong with having a reaction, especially when someone else is clearly in the wrong. Turning a blind eye to the wrongs committed by others is always the most cowardly path you can take.
 
Someone here actually said that they would apologize to the girl for throwing that drink in his face and walk away?

What a pussy. Do you thank the guy who fucks your girlfriend too?

Apologizing to the bitch would just make her think her actions were acceptable. Then she might do it to another guy.

The video was post #17, and the topic specifically asks "What is your first reaction to this image?" So even if the video wasn't ignored, the topic TC wants to discuss is the image, not the video.
 
The guy overreacted big time.

Men have a natural instinct to protect females and a lot of girls exploit that but this guy seemed really pissed.

This thread has made me understand why spanking children is wrong. Violence is such a stupid response to having a beer thrown on you and it's not "natural." Some of you have so much pent up rage that it's pathetic.

Yeah no. To stay that calm would really make the girl angry actually and probably feel very immature.

Not everyone's cabable of this though. You can do it some day.

Do you honestly think the type of dramatic lunatic who throws a drink in someone's face would calm down and feel immature at someone saying sorry to them?

They'd probably become more frustrated, and in line with their loose cannon persona, do even more. They want a reaction, they want a scene, they want attention. They're not thinking logically...they just threw a drink in someone's face.

I never said a violent response is natural, so if you're going to quote me do it correctly. What I said was natural is to feel humiliated when people do things to you in public. That was in response to the comment that only an insecure person can feel humiliation based on other people's actions.

Reading comprehension?

This thread is a mess.

Same here.

In other news: the bitch got what she deserved. He probably shouldn't have leg sweeped her, (although i'm glad he did for my own viewing pleasure) but you can't do something like that to somone and NOT expect some repricussions.

Yeah, absolutely. I've seen it happen numerous times myself. Even if the situation does escalate, why not attempt to make peace? Raise your hands, say "you know what, I'm sorry. Can I buy you a drink?" Move on. Let go of your rage and anger! It feels soooooo good! If the situation does escalate then you neutralize it at that time.
