Comment on A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.
I take issue with OP’s headline and the Post’s.
I agree, OP makes it out like it wasn’t an extreme act of violence, even though it did start as self defence.
It was never self defense. She starts the fight by spitting on the guy which is assault.
it did start as self defence.
Was the mailman armed? If not i can’t really frame stabbing someone with a knife as self-defense.
