Because you clearly didn't actually read it.
Which part makes you think the man yelling insults to strangers and then sucker punching them when called out on it makes him the victim?
Or maybe it's the five guys that ground pounded them, breaking a nose and ribs, that are the victims.
Snowflake behavior. It's crazy how triggered people get from a strangers sexuality, even as to defend gratuitous violence online.
...Ogmios yelled into the mirror, knowing full well they were completely wrong.
Try to read.
The single person who upvoted this comment didn't make it four paragraphs into the article. The person who wrote it is a disgusting fucking liar.
You left out and twisted just enough information to fit your false narrative. Get a life, weirdo.
What exactly is it that you think you're trying to say?
Yeah, that's some real "spin", right there.
It sounds like you're just trying to be contrarian? Do you have any reason whatsoever to not believe the article? I understand doubting the article, but it seems you've just decided that it is exactly the opposite of the truth, which I don't get.
The reason is that the 'journalist' uses intense emotional language to highlight only one side of the story, while completely glossing over the fact that their 'victim' literally knocked someone out with a weapon. Any rational person ought to at least raise an eyebrow while they consider what could have provoked bystanders to jump in, when presented with that fact.
It's really obvious rage bait.
She was attacked and then defended herself.
You don't believe trans women should be able to defend themselves? Or don't believe in self defense more generally?
What emotional lanuage do you mean, "sucker punched" maybe? Thats a pretty damn neutral recounting, come tf on.
Turns out that describing hate crimes objectively inherently uses "leading language" since it's a societal problem that only bigots don't mind.
And thinking that The Independent, a well-respected broadsheet, is a tabloid is quite indicative of exactly how much you know about anything you're talking about 🙄
