assaulter

Maybe they didn't expect a rape, but I bet the assaulter thought they wouldn't mind.

Or what if he/she kills the assaulter afterwards ? Is it OK to have private shots of events other people don't want published ?

Here you go: sexual assault is the fault of the assaulter, not the assaulted. Unlike most people passing by this thread, I have actual experience with this topic.

Well, the assaulter would probably not know about the problem until it's already taken too long to try and pry them off. By that time they would hopefully be stressed enough to take off.

I know "stop caring" isn't useful advice, but I wonder sometimes why any woman would care what an assaulter has to say in the first place.

Thanks to our strict jaywalking laws, a notorious serial assaulter is finally behind bars.

Would we have a problem with replacing an unknown actor if it were discovered that they were a serial sexual assaulter of minors and minor-adjacents? No?

If your customers and fans are telling you they'd rather not buy, use, and support your product if they know it's made in part by a known serial sexual assaulter of women, what would you do? The guy sounded seriously mentally unwell.

Extremely sexualised behaviour led to the alleged assaulter going too far. He lost his job as a result, but this was not a criminal offence: HR didn't file a police report, and neither did the alleged victim.

Some countries like France are typically hostile to self-defence / vigilanties as opposed to a country like the US. If you intervene and the assaulter gets hurt, you might be in significant legal troubles.

I'm assuming an assaulter can only assault one of the K < conference size people he meets, while you are assuming he can assault anyone anywhere. You are also measuring assaults/female as opposed to assaults/human.

Because you're legitimately afraid that your assaulter could seriously injure you in a fight? Because you just want to get out of there as fast as possible and escalating into violence is likely just going to draw it out?

A racist or sexual assaulter isn't going to think "Wait, does this violate the code of conduct?" Every conference doesn't need to go to the trouble of working out some flawless unambiguous list of rules and every attendee doesn't need to read them.

One of my friends was trying to convince everyone that the "shorty" would be ineffective when used in a hanger because of the potential distance between target and assaulter. Another friend offered to help test the theory out by being the one behind the shotgun.

Assume the probability of an individual man being an assaulter is beta, with alpha the fraction of women. Assume further any person interacts with K people at a conference, and if one of them is a woman he will assault her.

They attempted to arrest the assaulter, who then resisted arrest and started punching an officer in the face, and was therefore punched back as a result. So you think it's acceptable that multiple armored people hold someone to the ground and punch him, because he punched first?

In many states, the self defense laws DO protect the defender from civil and criminal cases brought by the assaulter. > A person is justified in engaging in conduct otherwise prohibited if he has legal authority to do so.

I don't think I could have any more emphatically stated that the fault lies entirely with the assaulter. I was hoping that it was possible to separate the issue of the assailant's responsibility from taking care of one's own personal safety.

A person has the right to defend themselves when assaulted, even if the assaulter happens to be wearing a shitty tin badge and carrying a gun and night-stick. We should not mistake the so-called "authority" of the State as having any legitimacy that can trump our innate rights, of which self-defense is about as fundamental as they get.

But the reality is that those mission carry a much higher risk of failure than most other military operation, and phrasing it in the way you chose doesn't remove the inherent disadvantage of the assaulter or the extreme complexity of the mission. There is no shortage of failed special operations missions or dead operators.

She was not the assaulter, she was the victim. Yet, because a part of the police report includes a history of some breaking of the honor code, even though as in my original response predators manipulate folks into doing this, she ends up being investigated and punished academically and religiously.

If I’m running a mini golf enthusiasts group, keeping discussion on topic and not going off on the latest Trump fail or the most recent celebrity to reveal themselves as a serial sexual assaulter is neither an endorsement of Trump nor of sexual assault. It’s recognizing that not everyone wants to spend every minute of every day in every place discussing your particular bugaboo.

You may borrow priors that are personal but calibrated based on reading statistics: accusations are real at a 3/4 rate, about 1/3 of people have been sexually assaulted ever, and in 9/10 of sexual assaults it is not the assaulter's first time. I personally would not say that 3/4 is "most", but I don't think any kind of blanket statement can occur below 7/8, and usually I prefer to think in nines or other logarithmic scales very close to certainty or uncertainty.

A better example would be tipping your hat to an assaulter, who mugs people. I would not respect someone who attacks others with physical violence. > Nope. I said line it out. And then they refuse to hire you, and hire someone else. That makes it pretty likely that they would get away with it, and screw over a different employee. > Behaving unethically makes you just as bad. Lets say you live in a medieval village, where there is a racist law that makes it legal for people to steal from or assault others, if they are of a certain race. So if you see a thief, currently mugging or attacking someone, then you would be just as bad as the thief if you engaged in self defense to stop them then? Because violence is bad? You would not only refuse to defend someone else from the thief, you would tip your hat to the assaulter!
