So they can’t get involved in a fight a block away due to liability?

Ugh. This is a bad situation. Certainly the security guys should not have been rude to her, but they have absolutely no obligation to intervene, especially in an altercation that had absolutely no connection to the bar! Add to it, in some cities (idk NYC) if security for the bar call the cops, the bar gets dinged…

It seems to me that as much as aggressive men want to possess and control women, they want to harm and injure other men. If you’re a dude and you intervene in a situation with hyper-aggressive toxically-masculine dudes, you will get beaten to shit. Of course, that’s your own fault for not being man enough to handle…

She wasn’t fighting off an attack at that point. She was chasing her attackers and macing them. I wouldn’t get near an angry drunk person who is also macing someone.

This is unreal. Fuck social media and fuck this girl.

Because she chased the people who hit her down the street to mace them. If you see a bunch of crazy people flipping out and fighting in the street, why on Earth would you get involved.

Yeah, I had a certain amount of sympathy for this woman up until that point. Now I think that anyone who would write that is probably exaggerating other aspects of the story too. If I were the bar owner, that would have been enough for me to tell her to go fuck herself.

The sad part is her attempting to dox everyone who comments on her blog. The way she acts online makes me believe she was the aggressor.

Which makes sense as a comedian are taught to be aggressive against hecklers.

This entire story is complete fucking nonsense. She maced some couple on Halloween and then doesn’t understand why some random security guards wouldn’t be super pumped about helping her.

Adding a bunch of hyperbolic irrational stuff like that totally makes me inclined to discount anything else she has to say about the events. I understand being reaaaally fucking riled up if something like this happened to me, but I can’t imagine going on a multi-day online smackdown spree and throwing out completely…

Her comments went from indignant to libelous very quickly. I’m not sure why she felt the need to embellish like that.

And why is Jezebel and Rothkopf enabling this BS?

You know the whole thing is just someone using internet clapback when their “supporters” are just as vile as their attackers.

Woman gets assaulted. Her male friend comes to her aid and fights the attacker. Woman maces attacker’s girlfriend and then she and her friends chase the attacker(s?) down the street. Third party watches the street fight between those two groups and wisely decides not to get in the middle of it. This could have been…

I’m sorry - how was this avenged? I just see someone trying to make themselves into a social justice activist. More propping herself up than anything.

If strangers almost maced you at work, how concerned would you be about it?

You will get roofied.

You will get roofied.

Her own version of the events is poking holes in the story she posted on Tumblr. She and a friend were in a fight with a couple, she maced them, and then got indignant when the bar they happened to be in front of wanted nothing to do with their noise? It seems like she has a massive chip on her shoulder, what with…
