DonLever Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 In a case like this, wish they wouldn't make it "news". They're clearly both mouthpieces and it seems that stuff was getting said on both parts. Just two lowlifes who need to grow up. You know what works in these situations?..to say nothing. Smile and carry on with what you're doing and you get the better of someone as you're not stooping to their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 However, one lowlife resorted to a hate crime about the way a person is, the way that they were born. It is extremely disgusting to see such behavior nowadays, although I suppose there will always be close-minded, racist morons. But I also think signs about cowboys being cowards is a generalized hatred that lumps all rodeo participants together. As an animal lover, I don't support and would never step foot in a rodeo, however, to name call those who do is also inappropriate. Who knows what may have been yelled at people leaving the rodeo...protesters generally aren't without a voice and I want to see how this started, not just how it ended. My niece and sister in law jump and race horses and it's offensive to suggest all people involved in these activities are bad people - so, If we're going to address ignorance and hatred, it all should be eliminated. If the issue is abuse of animals, state it as such but don't assume every single person at a rodeo is guilty. This girl was goading and encouraging the behavior with her verbal sparring and it was all inappropriate in a civilized society. Not saying I ok either behavior - they're both to blame here and this isn't news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bob Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Wow. Just watched the video for the first time. Didn't realize how much the girl behind the camera beaked her. Not saying she deserved it, but if she just kept her mouth shut and kept walking, none of this would have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bob Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If someone says racist crap like that to me, there's getting a fist sandwich. Again, not condoning the girls actions. But you gotta wonder if anything racist was said before she started asking her to call her something racist 3 or 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellins Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 ITT: People who don't understand what constitutes provocation in the eyes of the law. Hint: It isn't, unless you're looking at it from a purely emotional angle, well then carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electro Rock Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 This was news mainly because it clashes with the region's carefully media wrought image of being a multicultural paradise, and since the video would have gone viral anyway, someone decided to officially make it a big deal and probably to make an example of the woman in black. Same deal with the Jay Phillips incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 From what I understand from some people i know that went, some of these protesters were really pushy, vocal, and in your face about the whole issue. Basically trying to provoke people into confrontation. Her sign alone provokes that. You call someone a coward, they might just react. I'd also like to say how pathetic The Province is for placing this on the front page of the paper. One big issue I have with these protesters is that they are condemning anyone that even goes to the fair that was there as well. The Rodeo itself does cost extra besides the fair admission. So the people taking their kids on rides and to play games aren't necessarily supporting the Rodeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllEyezOnMe Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 that fat woman doesn't exactly scream cowgirl/cowboy to me lol , I know what your saying though, the sign was tasteless, usually how protestors are, trying to use shock to bring attention.... Instead of protesting the rodeo why don't they go protest the meat factories that are like concentration camps for chickens , pigs and cows..... but still doesn't give that woman the right to call her a s***-skin or say 'go back to your country', or 'Im gonna bomb your country' lol someone tell that fatty she ain't in charge of our armed forces. According to the article is wasn't 1vs1 either, apparently 2-3 others started kicking the woman on the ground.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobbiep Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ok calling that girl "a fatty" is also a hate crime....All people can be ignorant.....Its clear that the girl shooting the video is going around trying to get a reaction out of people....she should have charges laid agaist her as well...And violence is not the answer to name calling either...I like the people that can come back with quick funny comments when they are confronted better...

ilduce39 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Like the "objective" minds on here making a big deal about the woman with the camera. If someone is making racial remarks and / or spitting and hitting one can't blame her for taking out a camera and talking back - we live in a society where we shouldn't just have to sit quietly and take abuse. Bottom line is if the other woman wasn't being obnoxious, racist and physically abusive there would be no issue and no reason to bring out the phone. People are allowed to protest, people are even allowed to be assholes but racism and physical assault (spitting, kicking, hitting) is not allowed.

key2thecup Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Are the "fatty" comments really necessary? Anyhow, moving on. There is another video out there of her (the protester) creating an incident with some people walking their dogs. Saying to the effect. "That's his wife, she want's to beat me up, its going on you tube". Would like to see that video in it's entirety. Looks like she went around egging people on and looking for a fight.
