Sadly, if you don't help the racist and he dies, then the lad who punched him (who's already very much in trouble) will be absolutely fucked. Don't get me wrong, the temptation to slap a gobshite like him is immense... but is it really worth a jail sentence?

Basic first aid - checked his pulse and popped him in the recovery position.

Handy note: if you ever do lay someone out cold, doing the above is _great_ in supporting any later claim of self defence. Not 100%, but it's certainly better than continuing to beat crap out of an unconscious meatsack as you so often see on video here :-/

Victims pressing charges isn't a thing in the UK (nor the US for that matter). The CPS decides who to prosecute.

11

u/CptMisterNibbles 12d ago

In both cases the wishes of the wronged party is often considered. Saying “I don’t want to press charges” means “I wouldn’t be a willing witness in a trial against this person for this crime” and is good cause for dropping such a case. A victims’ desire one way or the other isn’t required, but it’s not accurate to say it’s meaningless either.

Ignore the people making this argument it’s reactive disingenuous humanitarianism. A racist gets punched and the people who were at best apathetic to the racial remarks are suddenly humanitarians advocating for peaceful solutions denouncing violence? They don’t realise what they’re saying is that there’s room for racial hatred to exist but not the human reaction to racial hatred.

If the guy was saying all sorts of nasty things about victimising women on the tube and then got punched would there also be a humanitarian reaction? I think not, you hypocrites.

I really hate this take. It comes up all the time, I don’t advocate for violence but like how does this make somebody more racist? In fact, how do you become more racist?

He already hates black people now he has twice the hatred? Twice the hatred twice the fall if it happens again.

"Hmm, I got knocked out cold when I was openly racist, this doesn't often happen when I'm not being a cunt.

Perhaps I'll try not being a cunt and see if I make it through the day without an unscheduled nap".

I'd be more impressed if that wasn't a sucker punch. The white guy is 10 different kinds of wrong but sucker punches are for cowards.
