Woman lets bat do the talking when “cut off” on I-30

Collin Gouldin, says:

Yup, they're commenting about how what she did was ok, cause of what he did.

My mom never was the one to put up with the "he started it" thing.

Scott Doyle, says:

*He said he didn't fight back because there was "no reason to fight with a woman, even a woman with a bat."*

WRONG. Sorry ladies, southern hospitality gets thrown out my broken window if a bitch just sent it towards my face.

Pavel Lishin, says:

I'm with Scott on this. The whole "thou shalt never strike a lady" is incredibly sexist. Don't strike anybody without provocation, but if someone's threatening my life and/or limb, I don't really care about which chromosomes and/or genitalia they're equipped with.

Collin Gouldin, says:

When women gained the right to vote, they also gained a lot more, including the right to be hit (when necessary). I'm with Pavel and Sco-Do ... (oh crap, what am i doing?) Want to be equal? Let's be equal.

Erin Rice, says:

And to think I was making fun of the comments on the other site...

Travis Bush, says:

I am surprised we don't see this more often..

Scott Doyle, says:

Concur on Collin's analysis of a lurking double standard. You'll get struck down just like a dude if you take a bat to my car. Can't have it both ways, Erin. =p

Erin Rice, says:

I'm not advocating a difference. I just think throwing the word "bitch" out there and making the conversation about whether a women should be hit or not is, oh, a tad ignorant of the real issues at hand. But that's just me. Crazy, I know.

Pavel Lishin, says:

Hey, we're discussing an aspect of the story. That's what I thought this big white box with the little button was here for. Don't go taking a bat to our monitors. :P

Erin Rice, says:

I played soccer. No bats about. I can, however, punt a soccer ball the length of the field. Just something to consider.

Scott Doyle, says:

Thanks for your input. Intentionally destroying property with a baseball bat just b/c you had to touch your brakes grants you the title Bitch in my book.

There'd be no issue if he restrained her, called the cops, and ensured her arrest. I'm not advocating beating people - simply using necessary force to detain them for prosecution.

And insinuating a strong kick in the junk is toeing the line of a title change, imo.

John McClelland, says:

He should have shot her in her pinkie toe.

Travis Bush, says:

Wished I would have had a bat earlier today. Anyone talking on a cell phone while I'm trying to get my X-mas shopping done would have been at risk. Especially the idiot blonde standing right in the doorway of Barnes & Noble yapping on her neon orange yap machine who would not move. And then there was the University Park cop who decided to follow me around while I was going to Castle Gap Jewelry and TIECOON of in Preston Village.Road rage and retail rage may be closely related.

Pavel Lishin, says:

Travis: to be fair, I think if I saw you going into someplace ritzy, I'd just call 911 and then run.

Travis Bush, says:

Haha! Ya'll got jokes huh? Those are the two stores I go to every X-mas and I've never had that happen before. Definitely one of those times Travis has to just try and act "normal", careful not tell the guy to go "F" himself.

BTW, jtmbls..I doubt very much Doyle is willing to give up that title.

Scott Doyle, says:

Man, I thought Erin would bite on that one fer-sure!

Only way I'd consider taking a kick to the balls from a former soccer player would be for money. Y'all discuss how much you'd be willing to raise, and I'll let you know if it's worth my pain (pretty sure I'll want a professional medical opinion before agreeing to this, btw).

Travis Bush, says:

How about you get into the spirit of X-mas and just do it for free? I am sure this giving gesture would warm many a' cockle.

Scott Doyle, says:

How about no? If it's such a walk in the park, I nominate your balls to be kicked in.

Would have to be at least triple digits, my friends.

Travis Bush, says:

I submit that seeing you perform such a selfless act would be priceless, not to mention a gift to all human kind, and therefor not subject to a performance fee.

Collin Gouldin, says:

last time i was kicked there by a soccer player girl, i was on the ground for an hour. literally.

Travis Bush, says:

That Collin..always getting his berries dipped..

Pavel Lishin, says:

See, now this thread is off-topic.
