I agree. While she didn’t deserve to be assaulted if she wanted to intervene positively she should have said some thing that was not both commanding and insulting at the same time to an already enraged man - you just become one more person pissing him off. When a man is riled up like that you have to be diplomatic or you have just inserted yourself into a tense situation situation as an adversary.
I would’ve said something like “Hey, I don’t know the backstory but I have been right where you are now myself and I have wished more than once that I had taken a quick pause to think of the best approach to the problem.” Even that might have elicited an assault.
That being said, the woman took that punch like a man and gave back a hard, unflinching stare right into his eyes.
she has been taught that she is a super woman.
She will say what she wants when she wants and how she wants.
He woulda put you in your white ass place and the other folks woulda kept right on recording your ass whipping...........
