AIBU to offer DH no sympathy

I’m so fucking mad.

DH went out all day to football and then a gig, caught the wrong train home and then got into an argument with some lads on the train. A British Transport Police person seems to have intervened and DH stepped away.

On the train platform (trying to work out a way home) one of the men from the altercation spotted him and punched DH. DH swears he didn’t throw any punches but he now has a fat lip and keeps getting upset that he is going to get arrested or called in for questioning or lose his job.

He says police intervened, took his details and shoved him towards the taxi rank.

AIBU to offer no sympathy at all. DH was stupid enough to get hammered and into these situation he should live with the consequences.

@Wolfiefan
However
But if he hadn’t got pissed and acted like a twat then it wouldn’t have happened.

Is honestly not much different from
But if she hadn’t got pissed and acted like flirt then it wouldn’t have happened

You really need to examine why you are victim blaming.

If you can’t see a difference between a woman being raped and a bunch of blokes getting into a pissed up fight @PlanDeRaccordement then you’re the one who needs to examine your judgment.

Poor guy, he was attacked! Offer him some sympathy ffs, talk about victim blaming.

Oh my lord! No one of saying there is no difference between these two types of crimes. But they're both crimes, with victims, who should not be blamed.

Funny you interpreted “it” as “rape” I never said rape......you’re the one thinking that. Why is that? Do you not know women get smacked in the face too?

I was thinking more of something like this

I don’t understand @PlanDeRaccordement. There is very little detail in that report.
Assault is never justified. But unfortunately there are some people who settle things with their fists.
If you get pissed and mouth off then you make being punched a lot more likely than if you don’t. Doesn’t make it ok. But it’s true.
And why I assumed rape? Mention of clothing choices and flirting.
