A friend tells me of an occurrence.

A man tries to rape a woman. Sure, awful man, all that. In a public place. Hmm. Stupid man too. Some guys see what is going on. They beat the crap out of the awful man.

And life goes on.


Let's try the story with some adjectives.

A British man attempted rape on a Chinese woman in a public place. The Chinese guys who saw this kicked his head. Hard.

And the world explodes.

What's wrong here is that you didn't post a link to whatever the hell it is you're talking about.

Sorry about no link or anything. Actually I don't know a thing about whatever the story was. All I know is what my mate mentioned. Didn't bother to look it up. I'm sure the guy is scum and deserved his ass kicking. I'm also sure that because he was a foreigner the reaction was intense. Guess that was my point.

Yeah, has to be that recent drama involving the British guy, very strange video, not sure what to believe. Some links below, with the usual enlightening comments left by both Westerners and Chinese:

The other day I saw a 3 plus page on the China forum on this. Many of them thought it was a set up from the pro and her pimpstas. There was also apparently a picture of the man and this woman together on the subway before the incident. A lot of things are out of place in this story, wouldn't draw many conclusions.

Exactly. I believe they might have interfered, maybe, but it would not have become the ruckus it apparently did.

Saw many a fight in Korea too between man and woman. No one flinched. You can be sure if the man was visibly foreigner there'd be flinching.

Makes one weep, in a way, it does.

Anyway, ignore me. I'm an idiot. None of this has to do with where one is from. Clearly. Race is never an issue. And logic is routine.
