Has anyone seen that video of the barmaid in Cardiff whose colleague "hugged" her so hard she passed out?

The "hug" was how I heard it portrayed from another news source. The video is one of the most disturbing things I have seen in a long time. The fact that the incident was downplayed by all the men involved including her bosses is very worrying. The fact the man in the video seems to be laughing as he lets go of her... It is very upsetting.

Yes I thought this all seemed very deliberate. He was not at all surprised or worried when she passed out. Agree he needs to be inside. It is clearly not the first time he has done that and the next time he is on his power trip he will probably kill someone. Really not normal behaviour!

Yes I think it is his left hand pressing aginst the artery while he holds her still and shields what he is doing with his right arm.

That's awful. He should be facing criminal charges. I'd put money on him being a match in other "unsolved" assaults on women.

What the fuck did I just watch?
That is utterly sickening. That poor woman.

I've never been able to get my head around why some men enjoy strangling women. It's in porn, prostitution, etc. Male demand.

Holy fuck! That is outrageous Angry

His left hand was on her neck too, he’s a lunatic and should be in prison!

It looks like he is deliberately pressing under her ear to cut off blood to the brain and make her pass out. It looks quite intentional and he seems satisfied when it 'worked'. A disturbing power trip. He should be watched.

Nobody came over until she collapsed. Are they that used to seeing men strangling women in their establishment?

Oldstyle · 10/12/2018 12:16

The Cameo Club management are clearly part of the problem too. Entitled males every one of them.

That is horrendous. He kept holding her for a long time after her arms went rigid. He could have killed her. He should be investigated for more than just assault.

AngryAttackKittens · 10/12/2018 12:14

That was a "hug" in the sense that a bite from a great white shark is a "gentle nibble".

WTF is wrong with men?

KittensAndChristmasCake · 10/12/2018 12:13

Jeez. How is that a hug?
Where was his other hand, it looks like it was pressing into her neck?

Horrendous. What a sick bastard. Can't believe he's still employed never mind not serving a sentence for GBH.
