NOOOOO, IT SHOULD’VE BEEN ME.
That is absolutely horrific, disgusting and vile. Has anyone checked if the bat is ok?
I mean, strutting around with his cranium exposed like that, it was only a matter of time.
Ya head’s a freakin’ bat magnet!
Your body, my choice to hit it with a baseball bat.
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.
Grass grows, birds fly, and brother? I BONK people
“I shouldn’t have stuck around” he said…
Captain obvious right there
Where’s the damn video? Aluminum or a Louisville Slugger? Hopefully she’s a softball player.
There’s a video in this article of the moment, tho you can’t see her hit him. I think he’s holding the camera and she walks up behind him and clocks him. From the sound if it, sounds like aluminum
clunk
I sure hope her bat didn’t get dented, it can be a real pain to find one that swings just right.
I literally said “FUCK YES” out loud when I read this.
I think she used the baseball bat incorrectly in this particular situation. Opportunity missed!
Tabitha Brubaker has been charged felony assault and marijuana possession
Boooo, fuck off with the weed charge on there too
He pressed charges over that? I hurt myself worse at work and walk it off. That guy’s a bitch.
This may have been sole reason to do that, so of course he did
There was once a time when “Fighting Words” were a viable defense in cases like these, and that sign certainly qualifies as fighting words.
thems be fightin’ words
It’s ridiculous that it’s not a viable defense now. They’ve empowered bullies from childhood onwards.
I assume you are right, but has anyone actually tried it?
*goes to check wikipedia*
In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), even speech such as “Bury the removeds” and “Send the Jews back to Israel,” was held to be protected speech under the First Amendment in a per curiam decision.

Oh. I guess I was right to assume that you were right in saying that it’s not a viable defense to things like that. Ugh. Depressing. I was so hoping to be wrong in assuming you’re right.
I imagine the jury would have a large say in the outcome, but then again the average American isn’t very smart :/
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 was trying to not be angry
This is why it’s also perfectly legal to stand in front of a health insurance company headquarters with signs advocating for further CEO shootings.
No see because that hurts money’s feelings.
So that’s gonna get some violence.
Society would be so much better if people exercised their grievances with vigilante violence, amirite?
Sucks he didn’t die.
There’s always next time ☺️
Only the good die young I’ve heard
- Pinochet: 91
- Reagan: 93
- Thatcher: 87
- Kissinger: 100
- Mugabe: 95
- Sheldon Adelson: 87
Checks out.
Counterpoint: Jimmy Carter made it to 100.
Jimmy “I invented the Contras and moved them posing as Red Cross” Carter?
How many deaths do you think Jimmy was responsible for being a peanut farmer?
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…
“Only the good die young” logically implies that good people can live a long time, but bad people will never die young. A counterexample would be someone who was an absolute shitbag and also died young.
Statistically speaking some of those kids with cancer have to be assholes, right? Some of those assholes might turn out bad, if they lived.
I guess one could argue they weren’t completely bad when they died since they were kids.
In France we have Jean-Marie Le Pen. He tortured people and was friends with nazis. He’s 96 and still alive.
Jean-Marie Le Pen
He’s 96 and still alive
That’s awful!
For any wondering, no, that’s not a coincidence. He is Marine Le Pen’s father.
I don’t agree with the idea of punishing people for their parent’s crimes, they may turn out alright in spite of their relationship to their parents. That has no bearing on Marine, tho. Hope France does everything in their power to keep her away from anything that counts as influence, tho.
Roman Polankski is 91 and still kicking.
I feel like the universe’s Karma Police needs new recruitment or leadership or something.
People who do shit like that, evade justice then live that long shouldn’t be allowed to happen. The way light can’t escape a black hole, degenerate and violent people shouldn’t be able to escape justice.
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.
I’ve been playing far too much brawl stars. I heard the “wack” in my head and exhaled air out muh nose. 10/10
