re: #94 reine.de.tout

Well, this right-wing troll lady is pretty upset with seeing such defending of lack of action against the stomper, which is pretty much saying it was OK for the guy to beat her up.

Documentation is not inaction. You know absolutely nothing about the videographer’s physical capability to intervene. You do know that they were severely outnumbered, but that doesn’t enter into your calculus. The videographer is the primary reason Profitt is probably going to end up with a criminal record, and why the facts surrounding the case are so unambiguously clear. It’s just so cheap and easy to second guess someone else’s courage when you weren’t there and have every reason to be pissed off at the narrative their documentation cemented. That you focus on the one person who took action with their camera is interesting, and telling, as an entire crowd of people without cameras stood by taking no action whatsoever.
