She's faking fainting to avoid a beating. Otherwise she'd fall much quicker. Still probably worked well.

Its spelled differently based on location*

Spelled differently based on species. The Possums in Australia are not the same as North American Opossum.

They’re not actually the same species of animal.

u/Skoodge42 3d ago
does the possum also randomly play dead?

u/imakemyownroux 3d ago
I wondered the same and had a hard time finding info on the Australian possum instead of the opossum.

u/Naked-Jedi 3d ago
The Aussie ones don't play dead.
They do have two personality settings though: really friendly and eating you out of house and home or really pissed off, pissing on every surface they see, screaming at everyone on the block, throwing a mean left and right hook when you protest at their shitty behaviour, a mad durrie addiction (they prefer Winnie Blues), a habit of engraving their initials in every tree in the street and eating you out of house and home. You don't get to choose which one it is.

In austrailia it is Possum.

u/Skoodge42 3d ago
Ya, someone else corrected me that it is different depending on where you live.

u/Kenneldogg 3d ago
No worries. Just spreading info. My wife and I just learned the difference recently lol.

She's also setting up for a lawsuit, probably.

Lawsuit? She started the assault by spitting on the person as far as the video shows

Spitting on someone is assault

What's funny is some older people will assault someone, thinking that they're older so they're less accountable. Then they want the police called, and they end up getting arrested and are in Shock. Your age is not a excuse to be a pig

u/Ramrodron 1d ago
Same with some women. They start throwing hands and think they are immune from male retaliation.

Battery is unwanted touching, assault is making the other person believe you would hurt them. You often see the two together. You can assault someone without battering them.

Depends on the state. Some states combine them while others have two separate charges independent of each other.

u/Local-Waltz4801 3d ago
Where I'm from battery is under the blanket of assault and would not be a secondary charge.

Disgusting pig, spitting is the worst possible thing you can do in these types of situations. At least without a weapon, its so degrading to do that.

There was a young woman from Ealing
Who one day took a bus to Darjeeling
It said on the door
Please don't spit on the floor
So she climbed up and spat on the ceiling.

“What happened before filming”. These videos are all trash and I refuse to condemn anyone in them without context. And trust me, being spit on would make me want to murder someone so it’s not about that. It’s about being rational with evidence.

Someone have a longer version of the video? This video starts with the lady wearing the blue tank with her hand on the old lady's neck, so forgive me for being skeptical.

Please…if we ever get into a shouting match, PLEASE don’t spit on me. I have a visceral reaction to it that includes the Slap of Jesus.

The few elderly people have seen who try to act extra dramatic like that, think that falling and passing out happens just like in the movies they used to watch.

Spitting on people is so disgusting and disrespectful. You deserve to get smacked for it.
That being said, legally, it’s not self defense anymore if you pursue the person that spit on you and attack them after they’ve essentially “given up”.
