when you are famous person you can't stroll around in public anymore. She wanted fame, that's what she got. why do you think sterling rolls around with private security now? cause everyone loves him?
Really? you don't know? Somebody records 100 hours of conversations by you without your consent? well what do you think she did that for?
No they don't deserve to be smacked. You suggesting that they deserve to be smacked suggests that you are condoning the actions of the muggers.
rofl. you just don't get it, son. When a person breaks into your house and threatens you, forget about blackmail and high stakes fraud (which she/he was arrested for previously with another name), it's fair game, especially if you're a gun owner and feel like your life is potentially threatened. scam artists take things a step further and make things personal. it elicits an even stronger emotional response. is stern a detestable human being? of course, and that's why he had to settle with such a terrible looking gold digger. would he be justified in roughing up a thief like this? absolutely not. but when you play with fire, expect to get burnt. my argument is her being a woman/minority/transexual should have nothing to do with the outrage, she made herself fair game for incidents like this based on her ACTIONS.
So you're comparing breaking into someone's home to releasing documents? If a women breaks into my home with a gun, of course I'm going to shoot her because my life is in danger. That doesn't mean I can beat up a girl in the streets
What the **** does this have to do with someone breaking into your house? Again, condoning the actions of the assulters is rather disgusting. If you believe she did wrong upon the public or an individual let the judicial system or civil court handle it. As a citizen, you implicitly consented that you transfered your judicial powers to the state. Unless your own personal liberties are being inimently infringed you have no right to direct violence on another human.
Sterling welcomed her into his circle, bought her cars, house, gave her money and she ratted on him cause she wanted more money. This made the news, lots of people don't like her. Sterling being a racists doesn't make her some hero. today, the news and media go everywhere. so millions of people potentially hate her. Yes, she's a gold digger, so are all those chicks on Basketball Wives, but nobody is mad at Antoine Walker's ex fiance . She didn't record him and rat him out . nobody is attacking her or Shawnee ONeil.
Amazing, but I agree with tinman. lol She screwed Sterling, which was f***ed up. Sterling being a racist doesn't absolve her actions from being f***ed up. Just cause I don't like Sterling, doesn't mean I have to like the Tranny. Pissing off billionaires is probably not the smartest thing. From now on, she should hire bodyguards with what money she has left. I'd imagine with her newfound 'lifestyle' she'll run out of money sooner rather than later. She'll probably do p*rn next. But who will buy it? Looking like this: Spoiler
She ratted out a racist pig. That's not honorable of her, but that doesn't mean she deserves to be beaten by two other racist men. She may not be a redeeming character (none of us really know). It doesn't matter whether she is or isn't. Two wrongs don't make a right, and if she was wrong, she was wrong. But whether she was or not, the men who attacked and beat her were also definitely wrong.
I've been on this board since the 98-99 NBA lockout, and this is a low point. One perpetuated by a poster who has been on here nearly as long as I have.
why are there so many posters advocating vigilante "justice" for a woman who outed a racist? The "men" (and I use that word loosley) here who equate gender equality with it being acceptable to hit women need to take a look in the mirror. If you have a daughter, are you going to say to them, "Just remember if you want to have equal pay you have to be alright with being assaulted like a man too"? But really, the gender issue is kind of a red herring. Man or woman, no one had a right to beat her up because they didn't agree with what she did. That isn't how our society works. There is a reason we have laws, courts and cops. We are supposed to be beyond the days of lynch mobs. If she broke the law, she should be arrested and charged. If she is a discpicable person, the court of public opinion has dealt with her and will continue to deal with her. God forbid you ever do something that was wrong in another person's opinion, because if you did I guess you'd be fine with getting assaulted for it.
Agree with you here, dont understand the breaking into the house analogy either. I think some of you guys are overblowing what I and I think a few others are saying. At least, what Im saying is pretty simple. She had it coming, plain and simple. Its karma, if you believe in that sort of thing. Its not ok to mug anybody, and nobody is condoning that. Im just saying she had it coming. She was mugged for whatever reason and that isnt an appropriate action. Is it ok to hit a woman? Of course not. But do some women deserve it? Yes, just like some guys deserve it. If she had told Sterling what she was going to do and he walked up to her and slapped her across her face, I wouldnt think itd be that big of a deal. If he punched her? Thats much worse. There is a line here, and all Ive ever said is that some girls in some situations def deserve a slap. Take this scenario, you're out on the town and you accidentally bump into a girl. You apologize, she calls you a fn ******* and gets all in your face completely cursing you out. She never puts her hands on you. Would or should you push her away or hit her. No. Does she deserve to catch one upside her head? Yes. Nobody is saying all women deserve violent retributions for their actions, thats just asinine, but there are PLENTY of women who will get in your face, act like a man, talk like a man, and then cry when some man reacts. Again, Im not saying I walk around beating up girls who I think deserve it or that anyone should be doing that. Its plain and simple...karma is a btch.
Exactly. She put herself in this situation where the whole world, through the media knows who she is. She's on talk shows talking about this subject. A person who doesn't want attention doesn't go on Barbara Walters. It's not like she's Monica Lewinsky who got caught, this gold digger wanted the fame and attention. Of course people are going to yell at her. People are yelling at Sterling! But Sterling isn't stupid, he's knows he's got a NEGATIVE perception now. This person is too stupid to realize that some people don't like gold digging rats. Justin Beiber has a video of him singing racist lyrics towards black people. A dude was extorting him for money. You think the Extorter will go public and be on TV and wear baseball caps with his name on it? No. http://www.tmz.com/2014/06/04/justin-bieber-shake-down-racist-video-money/ She wanted attention, there's risks involved with it.
When a criminal, whether it's a friend or stranger, compromises your personal security and puts your life in danger, ball game. Ball game. Stivano planned this heist out, executed it and knew it would completely destroy sterling's reputation and ability to be taken seriously by society. She forced him to sell his business. Sp when you commit that crime on someone else's property, whether they themselves are good or bad, you open yourself up for retribution. It's the general folly of avoiding an honest living.
I think the issue here is that posters don't understand that she is being viewed in a negative light for what she did. The attacker called her a prostitute. Why did he say that? was it random? no. it was because she wanted the attention after she outed Sterling. Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2014/05/09/v-stiviano-friends-video-donald-sterling/#ixzz33iN3a6JZ Do I think Sterling sent those dudes to hit her? no was it right that she got hit? no Did she set herself up for negative publicity through the media? ABSOLUTELY Nobody likes Sterling either, but nobody is going to be able to punch him cause he's got security. She stole enough money from him, she can afford it. A house and a ferrari and lots of cash.
