Nor is basic hand to hand self defense without hurting anyone. I think someone had never been in a fight in his life before to not know what to do. This was a very simple fix and no one would have gotten hurt. Had he snatched it, his Mom wouldn't have gotten her's either. He's a coward and a wuss. Now he wants to save face by filing charges on her to buff up his "soft" muscles.

Whether or not I agree with you (I don't really), NONE of this changes the fact that she committed a crime... if a woman manages to break free a few seconds into a sexual assault, is the man no longer guilty of rape? Call him a coward for being victimized if that makes you happy, but again - it doesn't change the fact that she assaulted him.

I Highly doubt this just happened out of the blue this was an on going situation with these people and I don't buy the Ninja Granny idea. People should stop playing the victim card it's ugly and very school yard

Yeah, why didn't he have eyes in the back of his head? All 'real' men have them, right? He should have seen her sneaking up on him from behind!

So which is it?

He should have run away? Yes, and he did. Leaving the scene is what all you big strong macho men said he should have done.

However, on the other hand, he is being portrayed as 'running like a schoolgirl' for trying to leave the scene.

If he tried to remove the cane from her hand and broke her wrist doing so, then it would be "gay man assaults old woman", right?

So either way, he could do no right. Because he's gay. Too bad he isn't black, also..you guys could have had a more satisfying circle jerk.

That is something we should have a right to decide for ourselves. What used to be against the law in our state is now being forced on private schools. No private school should have to hire a gay person. People send children to private schools to protect them from people like that. And that is something children should be protected from. I had never heard the word gay except to describe a happy person when I graduated high school. A gay relationship is an unnatural relationship and a sin against nature and children should not be subjected to it.

No I do not hate gays but I really don't want to have to be around them either any more than I would want to be around someone on drugs or people that don't take regular baths.
Nasty.

Well, she'll probably be going somewhere, but my guess is it won't be back to her home.

I doubt it will be more than probation.

I'm 30 and I've never been in a fight. That's something I'm very proud of.

Conservatives Big on Fear, Brain Study Finds | Psychology Today

Peering inside the brain with MRI scans, researchers at University College London found that self-described conservative students had a larger amygdala than liberals. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in the brain that is active during states of fear and anxiety. Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity.

To a conservative, the world really is a frightening place.
