    So in your opinion if a prison guard beat up and maybe even killed an intimate that would totally be justified as long as the inmate was shouting verbal abuse at them beforehand? What kind of fucked up logic is that? If a prison guard can’t take verbal abuse they’re in the wrong job.

    Physically attacking someone simply because they’re shouting abuse at you is never a measured response and prison guards especially should be held to a higher standard than that.

    It doesn’t matter if “these people hate when they are not respected”, neither police officers nor prison guards can hit people whenever they feel like it.

      Of course and I agree with how it should be.

      However, in the real world, that is often how it is. I dont support that behavior but I also dont think its reasonable to ignore reality completely and act surprised when the obvious happens.

      This is strategy on her part, thats all it is, and you guys are thinking she is victim of abuse.

        I’m glad we’re on the same page on that at least.

        This is strategy on her part, thats all it is,

        Of course it’s a strategy. This is literally her job, putting herself in situations like that to shine a light on it. That’s what activists do. It’s on the rest of us to do decide whether it’s worth doing something about to combat those issues the activists are highlighting or deciding that we don’t care.

        and you guys are thinking she is victim of abuse.

        Just because she put herself in that situation on purpose doesn’t mean she’s not a victim.i don’t think she particularly enjoys getting beaten. I’m pretty sure she would’ve preferred if the Israelis had let the ships pass but they all knew this wasn’t just a risk but the likely outcome.

        and act surprised when the obvious happens.

        Exactly zero people are surprised that’s how this whole thing ended.
