Did you see this arsehole chasing a woman in an alley and then accusing her of being racist for running?

This guy chases a woman in an alleyway, shouting and grunting at her and when he catches up with her, calls her a 'racist bitch' for being frightened.

Jesus.

This has made me so angry. And then men wonder why we don't want them around us some of the time.
They really have no fucking clue what it's like, do they? Even the nice ones just seem to have no idea.

Runningshorts · 07/04/2018 13:55

Fuck that's really upsetting.

That lady will have to live with an extra level of fear thanks to his 'lesson' Sad

boldlygoingsomewhere · 07/04/2018 14:04

What a fucking arsehole! That poor woman - I would have been absolutely terrified in her shoes.

MallorieArcher · 07/04/2018 14:07

That's terrifying, the noises he was making as he chased her were horrific.
Also, it does look to me as if that isn't even her house, she was moving away from the door when he turned back and had another go. If that would have been meaning I would have run to the first lit up house for help.
Man's a dickhead, fam.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 07/04/2018 14:12

I can't see a clip - is he identifiable?

Ladies - the good news is - I'm sure he's single!

Battleax · 07/04/2018 14:19

He posted on twitter under his own account, extremely pleased with himself, so yeah, he’s traceable.

Mrsfrumble · 07/04/2018 14:19

It blows my mind that HE was the one who shared it online because he believed that HE was the victim! He was honestly expected everyone to pile in and agree with him that the woman was a terrible rascist Confused

AsAProfessionalFekko · 07/04/2018 14:52

I really hope he now understands - and realises why he was being a first class idiot.

DeleteOrDecay · 07/04/2018 15:50

Also loves the way he says "look we're not scary" then proceeds to growl at her. How very reassuring of himConfused

I hope the woman in the video is ok.

Gileswithachainsaw · 07/04/2018 15:54

Wtaf

If run away from anyone doing that male or female ffs

Who wouldn't be terrified of a man chasing after them making that racket in a dark ally. For the love of god it would have been the same if he was black white or fucking green.

That poor poor woman

Mrsfrumble · 07/04/2018 15:55

AsAProfessionalFekko, sadly not, according to the article. Apparently he deleted the post and flounced when he didn't get the reaction he was expecting, even though plenty of black women weighed in to tell him what a tool he was being.

MrsTylerJoseph · 07/04/2018 16:04

What a nasty, nasty arsehole. How would he like it if someone chased his sister or mother like that? And what a nasty way to talk to her calling her a dumb bitch.

I’m not sure he can be charged with any criminal offence but I’d like to think he could be.

melissasummerfield · 07/04/2018 16:13

What the actual fuck. That grunting he was doing was terrifying, that poor woman.

TheChampagneGalop · 07/04/2018 16:14

Men who get offended and angry when women act wary and scared around them are the worst. No empathy. This one takes the cake obviously. It just proves the women right: There was a reason to be wary.

TheQueenOfWands · 07/04/2018 16:17

He's a cock.

Can he be arrested for intimidating behaviour?

pombal · 07/04/2018 16:19

If he wanted to make a point about racism, why didn’t chase a man?

Because they might have turned round and decked him, that’s why.

gegs73 · 07/04/2018 16:22

Nothing about race at all! More about some stupid man chasing a woman, whilst grunting (!) and shouting, down a dark alleyway. What a complete cock, hope he is arrested.

Hidingtonothing · 07/04/2018 16:25

That's made me so angry, (some) men have absolutely no concept of what it's like for us do they, how utterly self obsessed Angry I would say I hope the woman is ok but I know she isn't, what he did will affect her for the rest of her life.

DoinItForTheKids · 07/04/2018 16:35

I don't imagine for one SECOND as she ran away from him she thought "A black man is wanting to rape me". She just thought "A man is wanting to rape me". End of.

No racism carried out at any point.

What a nasty, dumb, aggressive, predatory act this 'man' carried out. The language he used towards her (mysoginistic shit) and the continuation of the fake 'attack' after he'd already caught up with her and terrified her shows the utter low life abusive scum he really is.

If a man, any man, of any colour, chased me whilst grunting like a wild animal I'd be bloody petrified and assume they were very dangerous and possibly someone on drugs or with mental health problems and I'd be bloody petrified. It would be indescribably stupid to not assume that you were in immediate danger and to act based on the worst scenario that could happen in that situation. She must have been shaking like a leaf when she got inside her house.

Soubriquet · 07/04/2018 16:40

Poor woman. Hopefully someone will give him a taste of his own medicine

NeverHadANickname · 07/04/2018 16:51

I tired to read that article and the video started, no pictures, just sound, and I didn't realise it had. The noises he made went through me and made me feel really scared of what it was even though I'm at home (didn't help I had headphones on). It's no wonder she was scared by the noise alone let alone being chased by anyone.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 07/04/2018 17:04

An you imagine if this woman had already been the victim of rape or sexual assault ? Which isn’t exactly unlikely Sad.

She must have been so frightened.

MrsTylerJoseph · 07/04/2018 17:09

I think I would have literally pissed myself in fear if someone had done this to me.

Fishfingersandwichnocheese · 07/04/2018 17:09

To add insult HE is a racist. At the end he says lAt the end of the video he suggested the incident had proved Asian people were racist, adding: ‘These Asian dons are fukin racist fam, she extender her journey by 3 mins to avoid me (sic)’.”

Zero self-awareness

Zero awareness of women, all women, have to do to try and keep themselves safe from predatory men.

Zero remorse.

I can't even begin to tell you how terrifying that video was for me. I really hope that woman is getting support right now.

The dude is a jackass. There are too many of them about.
