Is there any context at all?

As someone who has been spat on i can tell you that his reaction is justified
RicketyCrick
Leave her on the ground where she belongs. Never would I advocate to get physical with a woman but this trash deserved it
Neurisko
I support equal rights for women, including the right to find out after fucking around.
mondeca
I'm actually sad that woman got off the bus to help her. Let her sit there with her skinned knees and think about what she did.
Catsbycat
Me too but that woman didn't know what happened. Didn't see the vile woman's actions.
SeRaQt
StabbyMcMurder
She's nasty
Coreation
Why the fuck would you get out of the bus to help that PoS while you just witnessed what she did. Fuck her.
Chances that woman didn't know what happened and went to help. Not everyone saw what she did.
Fair point

My my...isn't it the consequences of her actions rearing it's ugly head.

need more context here: something happened before this, otherwise why was this person filming.
Imalwaysready
Exactly. I don't think she was in the right in any way, but there was more to this encounter prior to the camera coming on.
slayston
IMGR hates context. So many times it takes a minute to find out the post was misleading but people jump on the bandwagon anyway.
She most definitely seems to be in the wrong here but I still like to know the full story before calling for the beating of a person..
TheJackyBear
What is wrong with people ?
DukePhelan
They have never faced serious consequences in their lives. So they act like complete assholes and then victims once they get finally get it.
You are correct my friend! The people screaming our that it so hard have never seen hard ?
kdl3000
What did he say she say? just curious
There had to be some build to this, if for no other reason than someone started filming it. I assume they don't go around filming strangers>
on the off chance they start a fight. They suspected whatever had already happened might escalate. Curious what had already happened.

I thought I heard him say "disgusting," presumably because she's the only one not wearing a mask? Then she spits on him in retaliation?

Also a good lesson in perspective. Lady outside ran over to help her as if she's the victim. Ppl on the bus knew better

Lady outside comes from inside the bus....
That lady was on the bus and got off to help her. She wasn't just walking by.
Enternety
The lady who helped her came from inside the bus…

Possible they were together
Oof... She got off so quickly I thought she was already outside. There goes that lesson
TheIronPenguin
It's still a valid point. She have earphones hanging from her ears, she might just have missed what happened before the pushing started.
dcmdma
Yourpoliticalpartyisaterroristorganization
Woman or not. You spit on a person you deserve all of that.
There's no need to genderize that
In response to the people gasping after a woman was pushed. Yes
Are women just not people, no?
If a man pushed another man. You wouldn't have heard anything from anyone
Aaaaaaannnd here it is what this is about men always making sure that remain as being seen as the victim
Those people are reacting specifically to the gender of the person being shoved. It's valid. Each person saw her spit on that man beforehand
Any by people do you mean you
So what led up to this? Assuming someone didn't randomly start filming her on the bus without suspicions something like this might happen?
GothKirby
Iirc they were arguing about her not wearing a mask, it might’ve devolved into racism on her part too (could be wrong on that though).
FrozenCoast
She is the only one not wearing a mask. She should have had one on.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
There's an old white dude in a red hat sitting there without a mask.

You should add more zeros to drive your point across better. I believe it was about her not wearing a mask. Not everything is racist.
Except there's a white dude sitting right next to her she could have spit on. She went out of her way to spit on that dude for a reason.
Except this was in the height of anti-asian assaults during the early COVID days. So go fuck yourself, apologist.
nemobla
Get fucked bitch
somebodythatyouusetoknow
She fucked around and found out huh? The fact that most ppl didn't move to help her says she was a total delight before she spit on him.
thisisprocrastination
But some bint did go out to help her.
Yup. Also looks like she had headphones on and maybe didn't see the exchange.
CheekysuBtext
Like the dude that just stepped out of the way for her overprivileged ass to get booted off the bus.
Spitting on people during a pandemic? Bitch got off light, they used to burn your ass alive for that shit.
CekinDestroy
Yeah she did, I would have punched her in the face and kicked her while she was down.. were in a pandemic and it's assault
BobaFettApproves
….. I agree with the sentiment, but who and where did this happen?
warjacob
It wasn’t for spitting, but a group of Haitians burned a man alive in his suspecting he may be sick

Agreed. Perfectly reasonable reaction in response to being spit on.
Adderkleet
Remember that "how can she slap?!" video? Yeah. Sometimes the response is equivalent. Wolf Of Wallstreet, first time he slaps his wife? 1/2
2/2 "I mean, she did JUST slap him". Then he punches her in the stomach "Okay, we hate him now".
LeftenantSebastian
Can’t imagine how tightly wound he must have been, on a bus at the peak of a pandemic, to then get spit on? I’d probably lose it too
ChiGamer
Yeah that was a kind of blind fury rage. She's lucky getting pushed is all that happened
Sanagosa
Yes, it could have been a lot worse for her if she had found someone less understanding.
naley23
Wow and I thought they were telling the lady to chill. Fuck those people. She clearly assaulted him
checkmomsbed
pretty sure spitting on someone is assault. Fucking disgusting, but also assault.
LespritDeLescalier22
And possibly attempted manslaughter
OrkieBleu
And during a pandemic it's biological terrorism
AprilSpectrum
Also in context racist assault. She spat on an Asian man during Covid 19
Degarafarat
assault with a deadly virus
TurboDeath
In the us it can honestly be considered as assault with a deadly weapon even befor the pandemic
TanithRosenbaum
At the very least during a pandemic. People have been prosecuted for assault for intentionally coughing on someone here in Germany.

also yes

SerenePrincess013
Worked as an EMT, yrs ago. Had a dude spit on me bc I picked up his gf after he beat her unconscious. Cops refused to arrest him.>
I had to go on antivirals, & have testing done for the next 5 yrs, until they gave me a green-light, bc of the fear of pathogens.
DrKriegersClone
Far as I'm concerned, attacking medics or firefighters should be an on the spot execution offense.
Oh, they never attack firefighters, bc those guys protect their STUFF. Medics are fair game, bc people don't matter. /SUPER heavy sarcasm
aSuspiciousPanda
If its assault on a cop, its assault on me too. ?
SerialChickenLover
I would rather get punched than spit on.
MoonPieTown
Southerncarnut
I'm in new Zealand and yes here you can go to jail for spitting on someone it actually came about here before the pandemic

This is a pandemic, and for all the other person knows, you just killed them. I wouldn't doubt someone would just keep attacking after that.
Rijtjeshuis
Spitting is an assault. It being a pandemic is an aggravating factor. Jail likely for first offense -- Source: I'm a crim lawyer in Canada.
MakigusoTaro
Dutch by chance? I'm asking because if your nickname!
No. I'm Canadian and don't have Dutch ancestry... the username's a long story.
Noctourn
I believe the guy could be charged with battery though, right? Would he be likely to get charged or jail time?
Battery is a civil cause of action (i.e. what you call it when you sue someone for assault). Assault is the criminal offense. In this...
case, it'd depend on whether a judge thought he used excessive force in defending himself. But jail would be unlikely even if convicted.
Out of curiosity, if someone is immunocompromised, how far is too far, before the victim gets charged with assault too? /1
I've said it before, but I've seen a LOT of violence, and violent people. Knowing them makes me worry about the safety of people who /2
Go about antagonizing others. But, this is a pandemic, and sooner or later I figure we'll see more altercations like this.
MouthyLurker
In Canada you're allowed "the minimum amount of force, up to and including deadly force, necessary to prevent harm or threat of harm to you
Self defense only covers what is reasonably necessary to stop the attack, but it's not - as they say - "measured to a nicety"
donjohngamer
so it balances out, good old Karma.
stabthecrab
So what about yesterday’s front page when a guy spit on a cop, and the cop punched him, and you all hate on the cop. You people are fickle
ioangoci101
Cops must have a standard. Cops are trained to no retaliate with violence. In this case, both can be done for assault in court

minibois
Chemical warfare confirmed?
HighSorcerer
Biological warfare. It's against the Geneva Convention, unless you're doing it to your own people.
Asadsadsadclown
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Odiin46
And, in this time period, possibly an attempt at bio-terrorism.
rdhao
Shit at first i didnt realise she spat on him, thats insane. Suddenly shove-guy seems a lot more understandable
RayMC
But what he did back was definitely also assault. If it was reported, he probably created trouble for himself.
RealNamesAreNotGreatUsernames
Self defense? She assaults him first, then he uses force to repel the assaulter (by yeeting her from the bus) and nothing more.
Aymondray
She deserved it.
Craizie
She deserved every bit of it, but it's not self defense if they are retreating after said assault.
dangryJumper
Yes your honour I was minding my own business when suddenly I was ‘yeeted’ ?
I know you guys are taking the moral side, but let’s be honest here. We all know that would never hold up as self-defense in a court of law.
It would be up to the jury most likely.
UggItsThatKid24
I believe it's felony. But don't quote me im not a lawyer I just play one on TV
SomeDetroitGuy
In most places it's simple assault which is a misdemeanor. I don't know of anywhere in the US that it's a felony.
I told the writers to their God damn home work!!!! I CAN NOT WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS!!!
eyeLied
Were you drunk when you wrote this, or is it a reference that I missed?

This is in Vancouver. As a Canadian, when people say Canadians are polite, this is the shit I think of.

As another Canadian, I wish more Canadians lived up to the stereotype. It's disappointing, really.
ThereAreCrocodiles
I guess Mounties don't patrol trams as the horses can't fit onboard?
pewpewp3w
It would be Vancouver police dept transit cop, not RCMP.
Vancouver is where all the homeless and junkies in Canada go due to a climate that wont kill you. Police are spread thin and cant do shit.
Police won't bother doing anything in many cities. Don't rely on them in an emergency, especially in Calgary
instanoodles
they need tiny mechanical horses that fit on buses then
DaveTheScientist
Close! It's actually because the Mounties themselves can't fit on board, due to their enormous protruding thighs.
TheBlackLodge
Living and working in a touristy city/ touristy job, I found Canadians to be just as unpleasant as everyone else.
CreativeMapleCookie
Put touristy twice in a sentence and it becomes obvious why everyone is unpleasant. Those places usually have unpleasant people. Ex, Paris.

I would rather get punched than spit on.

I'm in new Zealand and yes here you can go to jail for spitting on someone it actually came about here before the pandemic
imgurianitarian
Hope you guys are all staying safe. We are all rooting for you bro!
Whokn11
That seems kinda crazy, though. Like.. I get it, but jail for spit? I dunno man. Humans aren't robots.

There is a potentially deadly disease causing a global pandemic. That one act could kill. As in, they have two weeks to get /1

Their hands on the person responsible for killing them... and chances are, if they're dead anyway? You're done for, if you don't run.

Spit transmits various diseases. It is a felony to spit on someone. Dont do it
Whokn11
It's not a felony here. So I don't give a fuck
BearsDontCare
You sure about that?
NonstopRampage
Don't do it. Not EVER. It happened to me years before the pandemic, and before I knew what happened? I blinked and I was standing up, the /1
NonstopRampage
Bus was shaking, he was on the ground coughing- By reflex, I punched him in the throat, hard as I could. I could have easily killed him. /2
NonstopRampage
This is a pandemic, and for all the other person knows, you just killed them. I wouldn't doubt someone would just keep attacking after that.
Rijtjeshuis
Spitting is an assault. It being a pandemic is an aggravating factor. Jail likely for first offense -- Source: I'm a crim lawyer in Canada.
MakigusoTaro
Dutch by chance? I'm asking because if your nickname!
Rijtjeshuis
No. I'm Canadian and don't have Dutch ancestry... the username's a long story.
Noctourn
I believe the guy could be charged with battery though, right? Would he be likely to get charged or jail time?
Rijtjeshuis
Battery is a civil cause of action (i.e. what you call it when you sue someone for assault). Assault is the criminal offense. In this...
Rijtjeshuis
case, it'd depend on whether a judge thought he used excessive force in defending himself. But jail would be unlikely even if convicted.
NonstopRampage
Out of curiosity, if someone is immunocompromised, how far is too far, before the victim gets charged with assault too? /1
NonstopRampage
I've said it before, but I've seen a LOT of violence, and violent people. Knowing them makes me worry about the safety of people who /2
NonstopRampage
Go about antagonizing others. But, this is a pandemic, and sooner or later I figure we'll see more altercations like this.
MouthyLurker
In Canada you're allowed "the minimum amount of force, up to and including deadly force, necessary to prevent harm or threat of harm to you
Rijtjeshuis
Self defense only covers what is reasonably necessary to stop the attack, but it's not - as they say - "measured to a nicety"
donjohngamer
so it balances out, good old Karma.
stabthecrab
So what about yesterday’s front page when a guy spit on a cop, and the cop punched him, and you all hate on the cop. You people are fickle
ioangoci101
Cops must have a standard. Cops are trained to no retaliate with violence. In this case, both can be done for assault in court

Especially when the threat of catching a illness during a pandemic is implied by the spitter.
BennyLarva
attemtpted manslaughter
minibois
Chemical warfare confirmed?
HighSorcerer
Biological warfare. It's against the Geneva Convention, unless you're doing it to your own people.
Asadsadsadclown
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Odiin46
And, in this time period, possibly an attempt at bio-terrorism.
rdhao
Shit at first i didnt realise she spat on him, thats insane. Suddenly shove-guy seems a lot more understandable
RayMC
But what he did back was definitely also assault. If it was reported, he probably created trouble for himself.
RealNamesAreNotGreatUsernames
Self defense? She assaults him first, then he uses force to repel the assaulter (by yeeting her from the bus) and nothing more.
Aymondray
She deserved it.
Craizie
She deserved every bit of it, but it's not self defense if they are retreating after said assault.
dangryJumper
Yes your honour I was minding my own business when suddenly I was ‘yeeted’ ?
RayMC
I know you guys are taking the moral side, but let’s be honest here. We all know that would never hold up as self-defense in a court of law.
PlanetForScale
It would be up to the jury most likely.
UggItsThatKid24
I believe it's felony. But don't quote me im not a lawyer I just play one on TV
SomeDetroitGuy
In most places it's simple assault which is a misdemeanor. I don't know of anywhere in the US that it's a felony.
UggItsThatKid24
I told the writers to their God damn home work!!!! I CAN NOT WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS!!!
eyeLied
Were you drunk when you wrote this, or is it a reference that I missed?
UggItsThatKid24
A continuation of the joke of me playing a lawyer on TV. You see not all funny comments have to be quotes some people come up with their

This is in Vancouver. As a Canadian, when people say Canadians are polite, this is the shit I think of.
FeedTheRats
Keep in mind this vid first came out at the HEIGHT of uncertainty, with massive rising deaths and people going into lockdown.
TheEskimo18
I'm from Toronto and she got lucky. I would have beat the hell outta her just for spitting on a stranger..
Myspacebarisbroken1
Wait,youmeanthereareassholeseverywhere?
Holdmyhamster
Everyone else is sitting nicely.
micheaBandit
Sweden has The same problem. I don't see it geting any better either.
micheaBandit
I really feel sorry for both of them. Its sad and disgusting.
CaptainAwesomeMofo
I know a Canadian who is an absolute cunt of a person
Totsmacgee
Is it me?
CaptainAwesomeMofo
Yes.
Totsmacgee
Sorry
totallyserious69
I’m always so confused by the polite Canadian thing.
Daevin
As another Canadian, I wish more Canadians lived up to the stereotype. It's disappointing, really.
ThereAreCrocodiles
I guess Mounties don't patrol trams as the horses can't fit onboard?
pewpewp3w
It would be Vancouver police dept transit cop, not RCMP.
pewpewp3w
Vancouver is where all the homeless and junkies in Canada go due to a climate that wont kill you. Police are spread thin and cant do shit.
Noctourn
Police won't bother doing anything in many cities. Don't rely on them in an emergency, especially in Calgary
instanoodles
they need tiny mechanical horses that fit on buses then
DaveTheScientist
Close! It's actually because the Mounties themselves can't fit on board, due to their enormous protruding thighs.
TheBlackLodge
Living and working in a touristy city/ touristy job, I found Canadians to be just as unpleasant as everyone else.
CreativeMapleCookie
Put touristy twice in a sentence and it becomes obvious why everyone is unpleasant. Those places usually have unpleasant people. Ex, Paris.
TheBlackLodge
Well it was Edinburgh, Scotland and the art gallery.
sortofkindamadbutnotreally
I knew I recognized the bus design. And tbh, I like to think people like the karen are an aberration. Everywhere has entitled shitheads.
MasterKief117
She would’ve gotten shot here in Chicago
somethingstupidandclever
I worked boots and hearts a few years back outside Toronto. All i needed to see. Un-fucking-acceptable
codswallower
She dropped the gloves.
trikucian
I was about to say I recognize the inside of that bus
KingOFrod
Polite does not equal kind
dafrey
People who think Canadians are all nice have never been to Vancouver
7hatsBollocks
Yeah, that fixed my assumptions back in 2017... Polite is not the same as nice. Victoria BC, was way better though.
SarcasticComment
It's not polite. It's passive aggressiveness.
Shaggymom
We ARE polite, but we are also assholes and douche canoes. Being nice doesnt mean we wont throw down and kick your ass!
FallingStar7669
I mean, if this was America, she would have just shot him... and gotten away with it... so... yeah. It's all relative.
CantStopTheRock
We're polite, up until you fuck with us.
mjamrock
Fck ya bud!
ThisUsernameWasntTakenIGuess
They're both Canadian in this gif, right? I wonder what the man did to this woman other than being not-white-and-masked in 2020...
koflan
Yeah, like if you're indigenous Canada will fuck you right up.
CaptainYesterday
Or take away the poutine.
Khelan2050
Yeah that is a sin.
crazywowow
Or diss hockey. Then you get what you deserve.
Captainplanetmotherfucker
Then we'll be fucking sorry.
PataRican
Perfect response
