Hard block?Exactly the point I wanted to make. Context v facts v perception is everything.
You’re right I was defending myself. But without knowing that and only reading what I wrote at first glance makes me look and sound like a disgusting excuse for a man. I agree.
The facts are that she was getting her ass handed to her by another teenage girl, literally smashing her head into the concrete when I arrived. I broke them up, separated them, and tried to brush the dirt and gravel off the back of her head and jacket as I asked her if she was alright or wanted any medical attention. She turned on me, calling me a white MF pig, screaming at me in my face, punched me in the face, then tried to kick me in the balls, I still didn’t react besides blocking her attack as best as possible without hurting her, and then she spit in my face. She crossed the line. She got knocked the f*** out and I immediately understood why the other girl was kicking her ass, because she was an animal.
Not everything is what it appears to be. To accuse this young kid of being a loser and a coward because of a short video of a street level altercation involving teenagers is really a stretch when in actuality you have no idea what the entire context or facts of that situation were. That’s my point is all. Don’t be so quick to judge or accuse unless you’re there from start to finish with a birdseye view and working knowledge of what’s transpiring before you. Even then it’s ok to question what you actually saw because shit happens fast. Takes a minute for our mind to catch up and realize that yes this is really happening right now.
