“Absolute Disgrace”: Woman Fined For Being Too Brutal On Her Attacker

This girl deserves a medal for knocking that scum out not a fine, im in Dublin Ireland and im doing self defence classes because of all the attacks we have here recently and i know if a man attacked me and i knocked him out i would be giving a medal by all of Ireland because we are sick of this same s#it going on here at the moment

I think if you are committing a serious crime such as rape against someone you should be considered fair game. Whatever happens is a consequence of your actions not the victims.

I’ll give her 82 euros if it means she gets to hit him again.

"When *I* sexually assault someone, I don't want to be knocked unconscious!" ~the judge, probably

The real question here is whether this judge was just a regular misogynist or whether in addition to that the country lacks proper laws to punish such sexual assault. Quite a lot of places only have laws against rape, not groping and fondling, so the latter isn't punishable. Since she defended herself so well, there might actually be nothing even a sensible judge could convict him of? The article totally lacks that kind of background information.

She shouldn’t have said she practiced kickboxing. A boxer friend almost went to jail because he punched a man who was trying to steal an old lady’s bag. as he does boxing, his fists are considered weapons that is supposed to master. ridiculous. the judge even have the guts to told him "you should have hit him with your feet"

She did not continue to beat him after he was unconscious. She did what she had to to protect herself. Plus adrenaline is a real thing in a situation like that. I agree with this kind of ruling for protecting property, but your physical person is different. Women already are told they have to be careful how they turn down men, now they have to be careful how they defend their bodies?!

Such nonsense is unfortunately more common than we might think. Some years ago a guy fought a burglar that had broken into his house at night, and wounded him severely. The burglar sued the man for "fighting disproportionately", or smth. like that. He was eventually cleared, but he went through hell just because he defended his wife, his child, and his property.

This is f****d up. I hope she hasn't paid and continues to appeal this BS.

I hope everyone involved in that decision burns on hell. I hope she finds the guy who assaulted her, kicks his a*s and tells the cops, here is your $30. So a woman can defend herself as long as she doesn’t make the man look weak. If she fights back and he stops his assault because it’s taking too much time or people might hear, that’s ok. If a woman cannot assault him in return; she is emasculating him. And that is wrong.

Unfortunately Canada is the same way. If it's determined you used more force than is deemed necessary to defend yourself, you're going to jail. God forbid you use an object in your house to fight off someone who broke in and it turns out they didn't have a weapon themselves! Jail. The criminals in Canada have more rights than the victims.

Let me guess, the judge is an old, straight guy.

She did everything right.

Are you freaking kidding??? No way this girl should be charged with anything and fined for it. I had my son's in Taekwondo for self defense that has paid off a couple of f times. Their instructor was a neighbor when we were kids and told us 1 night in class about a petite girl that we watched her black belt test a few mos before was at a lake with a friends family. She went to the bathroom and SCREAMED, people came running but it was 2 late she reacted with her training and put that a*****e in a hospital. Turns out he was a convicted sex offender. She called Mike scared that she would be charged with something, no you won't, you did what you were trained to do. I'm 5' 5" and taller than her so imagine this little petite 16 yo kicking that creeps a*s.

As soon as I saw the title i knew this was either mine or one of neighbouring countries...I was right. That's why I keep saying how american legal system is superior to ours in many ways, but noone believes me😅

Attitudes displayed in this thread is how you get stand your ground laws, where you can kill someone who's nicking your garden hose, and get off scott free.

Go light on the perpetrator and punish the victim, sounds like democrat policies in the US.
