I want you guys to pay close attention to every single second of this video

...but please don't Google any of the context of what came BEFORE the video started to be recorded, because that might make what we're saying look bad?

I used to like TYT.

But then I grew up.

this was harder to watch than the original video

So TBH I like their channel but in the cases of gender issues they really drop the ball.

The comments are unusually supportive of the driver.

Don't Hit Women Don't hit Men

That's how it works, it goes both ways.

This take me back to my third year in high school. Some Girl who was a bitch to everyone comes up and slaps me and pushes me, so I told her off, and said if she does it again i'm gonna do the same. The second time she slapped me harder than I have ever been slapped, even to this day. So I slapped her right back, and she looked absolutely shocked that I dare hit her. I'm not really sure how to end this, but if you hit me, i'm going to act in self defense, no matter the gender.

At what point does she actually hit him? It just looks like she's being a bitch to him, but I didn't see her hit him.

Edit: mister pumpkin shirt is covering it up. Right before everyone goes OOOOOOOO and "You goin' to jail now! You goin' to jail now!"

TYT went downhill....

I guess how everyone is making such a big deal about a man hitting a woman while the reverse happens in exactly the same video just goes to show how commonplace and acceptable one is, and how rare the other is.

Edit: they claim he has more power than her. Can someone please explain how this is the case? They are both yelling at each other, but she has the freedom to go away, but he does not. She has the power to decide how long the altercation goes on because she is not bound to the driver's seat. It's like backing someone into a corner, except with a job obligation rather than physical force. So where's his power?

I used to like TYT. Then they should this video of a cop caught on camera having sex with a woman on duty. They weren't even mad, they were joking and saying good for him. The guy was getting paid tax payer dollars to have sex and they weren't even upset.

Equal rights, means equal lefts!

TYT is a forum for whiny teens and young adults to tune into. They put on a front to seem like a news medium for educated and "aware" individuals. Give me a break.

firex726 · 2012-10-13T21:13:10+00:00

Please tell me this man still has a job.

They felt uncomfortable that she used the "n-word" towards the driver....but not uncomfortable that she assaulted him? The problem with the driver was that his response was disproportionate. He shouldn't have uppercut her. Heck, I don't think it was even smart to try to hit her back, maybe restrain her, but lets be real: people are people. You hit them, they're gonna get angry, they're not going to think straight, and thus do dumb things (like uppercut someone). At least that's the way I see it. Also: change the genders of the person being uppercut, and no one would hesitate to say "this is okay'. If it was a guy doing it, regardless of if he was weak or not, they would be fine with the uppercut (and again, I wouldn't be).

Everyone has a right to defend themselves. This situation doesn't exactly fit that, but what people are saying when they say "he shouldn't have hit her" is exactly that. That he doesn't have a right to defend himself because HE has more POWER, even when the video shows that he clearly didn't if he wasn't able to stop her from assaulting him.

They say it outright: they don't agree with him defending himself. He should have "turned the other cheek" and just let her abuse him. This is their expectation. Listen to them: they both acknowledge that he was getting assaulted, but only HE had a responsibility (ie a duty) to not retaliate.

Magrias · 2012-10-13T14:55:23+00:00

Come on, that's a bit of a stretch. Videos show that she pushed him and assaulted him first, yes. He then retaliated with excessive force, and not in self defence. He slammed her straight in the jaw while she was just standing there, no longer doing anything.
Aside from that, these guys clearly say that they were both in the wrong, and she's only barely "the victim". I think the only thing these two have done wrong is to assume that there has to be one person who's the victim. Neither of these two is really the victim, unless the woman gets off punishment-free, since we know the bus driver has already been fired.

phantom_nosehair · 2012-10-13T16:51:48+00:00

TYT were correct. She shouldn't of hit him. He shouldn't of hit her. Can't argue with that unless you think the proper thing to do was beat her up. Rather, he could have, as he was saying, called police and sent her to jail. He just lost control.

This is not a men's rights issue.

TheLastRedHerring · 2012-10-13T22:09:06+00:00

GUYS. Seriously, this is a bit much, even for mensrights. Watching this video, and the second angle, I can only see a human push another, and in response receives a FULL FORCE punch RIGHT to the head. They both broke the law, and they are both at fault.

In fact, he used unnecessary force and lost all rights of innocence as soon as he got up from the chair.

I agree with your views, but this has nothing to do with gender, this is just two idiots being idiots.
