As my earlier post said we won't know unless there were cameras or witnesses. So we should hold judgement. That didn't stop many people from saying the citing deserved to be attacked. I was pointing out one situation that may have been were the attacker would have been overreaction
I agree we should hold judgement. In
both directions.
Although from experience, I have a pretty clear picture in my head about how it went down. I freely admit it's 100% conjecture, and a SWAG, therefore my 'judgement', such as it is, is withheld.
Based on what I do know, however, I'm fairly certain that the word "victim", everywhere it appears, should be replaced with either "instigator" or (giving them the benefit of the doubt) at the very least: "participant".
