(61,698 posts)Why did the woman in the turquoise dress attack that woman who countered and fought back? How was she supposed to know that she was three months pregnant.

Yep, she said on the instagram post that the Blue dress lady was saying some really nasty racsist stuff about people in the lobby, and Brawler Beckey just told her to shut up no one wanted to hear that garbage.

(61,698 posts)She shouldn't have to get hurt first when the other woman has her hands on her already and has an advantage with mass.
There's no way for her to know the other woman was three months pregnant.

(7,299 posts)She went way over the top in her response. Her response was violent and over the top. She committed the more violent assault IMO.

(26,355 posts)Although Dagg declined to pursue battery charges, Coral Springs Police say they arrested Cortts on the more minor charges because she "disrupted the peace in a public place." Cortts was also barred from returning to the La Quinta. Court records don't show any previous charges for Cortts in Palm Beach or Broward County; it's unclear if she has an attorney yet.

(7,299 posts)With a beat down like you witnessed, many would be screaming police brutality. She deserves a felonious assault charge IMO.

(26,355 posts)But she was threatened with being "shot in the face" by that woman, and she was assaulted by that woman, so I would have done the same damned thing.
When you're in a self-defense situation, when it's time to use force, you explode with that force. You strike swiftly, and you strike viciously. And you keep striking until the threat is ended. Like this woman did. You don't take chances, you don't tap lightly and hope your opponent suddenly gains enlightenment and stops fighting. YOU END THE THREAT.

(61,698 posts)Suppress a defensive primitive instinct once it's been challenged. And if she's been assaulted before, the drive might be even stronger to fight back harder. And we don't know if there is someone close to her that she felt was being insulted, even threatened, by the racist rant. I think there could be, may be, mitigating circumstances.
I don't think she deserves any worse punishment than the woman in the dress.

(37,648 posts)the other woman hit back enough to get her down on the ground and make sure she didn't rise, without actually HURTING her. That's important. The big lady didn't seem to have actual injuries...so it may have looked bad, but it wasn't.
It's not like 2 men doing punches, which can break jaws and knock out teeth.
The one doing the physical violence first is the one at fault. I think that's the law. Now, the 2nd woman didn't have a right to shoot her or hit her with a brick, but doing what she did...I'm fine w/that. She needed to get that big woman off her and make sure she didn't return to hit her again.
Wonder what the fight was about.

(26,355 posts)The younger woman called her out on it, so white trash lady got in her face and started making threats. The rest was captured on the video.

If the lady in the blue dress had stayed out of that ladies face and put her hands on her, that fight would never have happened. Grown folks today, this is life in the Trump era.

Start none, won't be none. She defended herself alright. Lady in the blue is a pig and a liar. She lied to the police we she said she didn't put her hands on her first, which she clearly did...and threatened to shoot her in the face.

(26,355 posts)And I'm betting she was lying about being pregnant.
Probably drunk too. Alcoholic. She's got that 39-going-on-89 look to her.

(61,698 posts)while her audience stares at it and takes bets on when it will fall out, dumping ash on her massive bosom, her voice sounding more hoarse each day, not caring about smoking during her *ahem* pregnancy.
Yeah, I've seen the type: 39 going on 89. Nothing in the world is ever her fault.

(61,698 posts)on her way for a coronary bypass graft surgery had a smoke in the common area, lying on her gurney, on her way to surgery. A real Type A. No one was going to stop her.
I suspect she gave the ICU nurses hell afterwards.

(26,355 posts)This was clear-cut self defense. Racist white trash woman first threatened to shoot the defending woman in the face, then got in her face and shoved her. The defending woman had the right to use all force necessary to stop the threat, and did.
That racist piece of white trash needed an ass-kicking.

(45,528 posts)"You know how white women are" just kidding, it was "You know how these Haitian people are"
23 year old savagely beats 39 year old might get more sympathy. This is yet another reason for me to steer clear of Florida.
I doubt many of DU's fine liberal white blonde women would feel like these two ladies represent them, yet this happens when there is a video of other demographics of people behaving in a trashy manner.
Also the great state of Florida:
