Why is everyone automatically assuming the woman is the victim here?

What do you mean? They're ALWAYS the victim!

That said, it's too late for me to go back and watch it again.

Because a real man would walk away and not try to drown the woman while hundreds of people are watching? Are you seriously this dense?

All I really see is him pushing her away. He wasn't really hitting her with any force. I would like to see what caused this to begin with. Maybe she hit him in the nuts and now she wont get away from him.

Alright, the next time you're in a pool, stand up and make a kicking motion. See how much force you can muster. Very hard to injure someone underwater.

Also, the guy was holding her other arm and pulling her closer after every attempted blow. He was going after her, not trying to get away. I probably would've joined in the beatdown if I was there.

Put your nuts in front of my leg and I'll show you just how much force can be generated. The woman clearly kicks him just before that. His reaction was to strike back. I wish the video had ended with a car careening into the pool and taking care of everyone because they're all stupid.

yeah she does try to kick him. but he also has hold of her and trying to yank her in.

either way he should have her go instead of holding on to her. then if she hits him or kicked him fine knock her ass out.

but i can't feel sorry for him. he had hold of her and she was trying to get away when she kicked him.

Hence my car solution.

She is the victim. Though it's possible the woman deceived him greatly and deserved it, it's also possible she just called him an asshole or something stupid, he still shouldn't have hit her and hitting like that does make her the victim. Either way, mob justice is despicable in my opinion, he wasn't beating her with a club or strangling her to death or trying to drown her. The people should have just broke up the fight and held them away from each other, but of course when there's a bunch of egotistical hot-headed teenagers around they will rarely do a civil thing like that, someone will always push the envelope and others will follow. Some people always want to take the law into their own hands.

Yup good point, the dude who hit her might've been wasted too considering he did something that stupid and cowardly.

A real man/woman wouldn't let another man/woman walk all over them.
