    She defended herself after he attacked her you goob.

    There is no defensible argument for suspending her. She very clearly defended herself.

      “If someone starts to assault you just say ‘no thank you.’
      It’s against the rules for them to continue.”

      Actually you can see she’s the one who went for the face first. He was just provoking and pushing.

      Bullies rarely start physically attacking people, they just provoke until the victim snaps so they have the green light and can say they’re not the ones who started it. That’s why it’s so hard to frame stuff like this, victims are in a situation of emotional stress and more prone to be impulsive, while bullies know what they’re doing and how to be able to “play the victim” afterwards.
