If it’s a legitimate assault, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

If you carry a sign reading "you deserve to be raped" then you can't complain about being clubbed on the head, because you obviously are a waste of genetic material
- I think "you deserve to be hit over the head with a baseball bat" is an understandable response to "you deserve to be raped".
  
  I'd say, it's too mild a response, but anything within the line, I guess.

No one deserves to be hurt. Unfortunately, some people do ask for it.
This guy was absolutely asking for it.
- He did deserve it. If you advocate for pointless violence you deserve it back at you.
  
  No, he deserves to be rehabilitated in a facility that can reeducate him from his backwards beliefs.
  Unfortunately we are limited by our material conditions, so instead he gets hit with a baseball bat.
- This guy was absolutely asking for it.
  Literally yes. It seems people are unfamiliar with this type of grift, which was made popular by the Westboro Baptist Church. Show up somewhere and say the most inflammatory (but not directly threatening) things possible until somebody gets fed up and assaults you, then sue that person for damages.
  
  You know, there's a secret trick to not getting sued for assaulting them...
- I disagree. There are definitely people who deserve to be hurt.
  
  Once your personal beliefs start invading others personal space, we start with a firm no thank you but sometimes some folks won’t stop until you escalate to the top. Never wanted but sometimes necessary.
- I'd argue quite a number of people deserve to be hurt, and this prick is definitely one of them.

Sucks he didn't die.
- Only the good die young I've heard
  
  Pinochet: 91
  Reagan: 93
  Thatcher: 87
  Kissinger: 100
  Mugabe: 95
  Sheldon Adelson: 87
  Checks out.
  
  I used to think that was just a saying but now that I'm in my 40s, it has generally held true, and it suuuucks.
- There's always next time ☺️

Your body, my choice to hit it with a baseball bat.

Tabitha Brubaker has been charged felony assault and marijuana possession
Boooo, fuck off with the weed charge on there too
- He pressed charges over that? I hurt myself worse at work and walk it off. That guy's a bitch.
  
  This may have been sole reason to do that, so of course he did

There was once a time when "Fighting Words" were a viable defense in cases like these, and that sign certainly qualifies as fighting words.
- It's ridiculous that it's not a viable defense now. They've empowered bullies from childhood onwards.
  
  Because the state has a monopoly on violence.
  You are not allowed to do violence yourself, you must petition the government to do violence for you. And the government will decide how and when it is appropriate to do violence on your behalf.
  So, for example, a white nationalist Nazi saying all women deserve to be raped is not a justifiable reason to do violence.
  But a brown person living peacefully where oil is IS reason to do violence. Ok?
  A group of people demanding that all LGBTQ+ people be sterilized or executed, no reason to do violence.
  Those people defending themselves, now we need to do violence. Got it?
  
  I assume you are right, but has anyone actually tried it?
  goes to check wikipedia
  In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), even speech such as "Bury the removeds" and "Send the Jews back to Israel," was held to be protected speech under the First Amendment in a per curiam decision.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words
  Oh. I guess I was right to assume that you were right in saying that it's not a viable defense to things like that. Ugh. Depressing. I was so hoping to be wrong in assuming you're right.
- thems be fightin' words

I mean, strutting around with his cranium exposed like that, it was only a matter of time.

BONK go to ~~horny~~ actual jail
- If a jury of your peers see fit.
  (I wouldn't)
  
  I think pre-commentor meant the bonked dumbass

Grass grows, birds fly, and brother? I BONK people

He's still standing in the picture, we should let her try again
- I guess we could all have a turn at the human piñata.

https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/preacher-who-said-women-deserved-to-be-raped-attacked-by-woman-wielding-baseball-bat-a7056716.html
- "I shouldn't have stuck around" he said...
  Captain obvious right there

That is absolutely horrific, disgusting and vile. Has anyone checked if the bat is ok?

Hit him again.

I literally said "FUCK YES" out loud when I read this.

Now time to be around him with a sign reading, “You deserve to be hit on the head with a bat.” I’m certain he’d agree.

I've been playing far too much brawl stars. I heard the "wack" in my head and exhaled air out muh nose. 10/10

I mean, if anyone deserves to be raped it is someone holding a sign threatening rape

I think she used the baseball bat incorrectly in this particular situation. Opportunity missed!

He had it coming. I'd even say he doesn't deserve to be raped, just because it's such a terrible act.
But I'm all for the assault in this situation. As I said, he was asking for it.

NOOOOO, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME.

Where's the damn video? Aluminum or a Louisville Slugger? Hopefully she's a softball player.
- There's a video in this article of the moment, tho you can't see her hit him. He's holding the camera and she walks up behind him and clocks him. From the sound of it, the bat was aluminum
  
  I sure hope her bat didn’t get dented, it can be a real pain to find one that swings just right.
  
  clunk

Ya head's a freakin' bat magnet!

Those who live by the sword...
- ...die by the Bonk.
