You can only be In Someone's face so long before they put an end to your shit. Plenty opportunities to walk away.

even if she were verbally abusive, no one deserves physical violence like this. this has to be assault. terrible!

I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if there was 2 mins of verbal arguing between the video cuts. That doesn't make it right, but I think there was a lot more to this than going from name calling to stomping. This could have happened to anyone arguing with someone. Things are not always as they seem. Question everything.

Verbal abuse, no matter how nasty or persistent, is never an excuse for violence. Only believable threats of immanent physical harm would warrant any kind of physical action and those would have to be defensive in nature. It's not credible that any of these assholes believed their lives were endangered. They should be locked up.

I agree. There is almost no conceivable circumstance where stomping on someone's head can qualify as defensive action. I read in the comments of one of the articles that he missed her head slightly and she was able to walk away from the attack. But if he had been successful in landing that kick it could very well have killed her.

IMO the person attempting that deserves significant jail time. And it goes without saying that she was out of control by yelling and screaming in front of a crowd like that.. but even if she had started an altercation, it's not grounds to try to kill her.

According to this-- http://thegavoice.com/man-posted-vid...e-transphobia/ --the guy who filmed it said she was stomped on the shoulder, not the head, and walked away uninjured.

Thanks. It was still intent to kick her in the head though.
