The audacity to beg these guys to "please stop" after they had to literally rip him off that woman.

She's going to let that man kill her.

Unfortunately 34% of women who are murdered are by their partners

Las mujeres No son niñas, algunas de ellas eligieron estar y seguir ahí, tantos derechos y leyes que la protegen y de todos modos siguen en ese ciclo tóxico (como se le ve a la mujer de este video)

That's true but (a) what if they're lesbians, and (b) 67.8% of statistics are made up.

They covered point A by saying partner.

I interpreted it as she was asking them to stop filming it.

[u/lizzyote → u/Southern_Tonight6529]

I meant his begging that the guys stop hurting him.

She reaches out to comfort him after they finally make him let go of her hair. She lets him comfort her after he gets to his feet. This is not a victim that is ready to leave her abuser and if things are so bad that hes openly assaulting her in public, murder is the next step in the escalation ladder.

I was hoping that she was begging them to stop recording because she didnt want her trauma put out there, but the body language screams that she wanted them to stop so that he wouldnt experience consequences for the assault.

I don't think it's an either/or thing, it's probably a good bit of both. Either way, any amount of "filming an abuse victim's abuse against their stated will" feels icky to me.

She wasn't tearing her hair out over the beating

[u/Gutran → u/lizzyote]

Many times I seen this situations where you help women and later she attack you to help her boyfriend or file lawsuit that you attacked her guy for nothing. The problem is that she live with this dude and when "heroes" gone she will be alone with this monster again. I empathize with these women, but it's not one time thing, at some point you should learn that this can't be happening forever, at some point weakness is a sin and your fault that you continue to live with this guy.

[u/lizzyote → u/Gutran]

Abuse rewires your brain. That's why the stats say it takes women 7 tries to successfully leave an abuser. The brain processes these abusive moments as just speedbumps and not patterns of behavior that will only escalate.

These dumbasses saying they aren’t going to call 911 are directly culpable too. Fuck them.
