The 84-year-old man beat the female bus driver and sent him to the hospital. Can you fight back after being beaten by an old man?

Mencius said: I am old, and people are old.

Li Yuxiu: Old people stand, young people don't sit, old people sit, and life is sitting.

Stendhal: Being respected in old age is the best privilege in the human spirit.

From ancient times to the present, respecting the elderly is a universal value and is advocated as a virtue. As an elderly person, we should pay more attention to our words and deeds, which conforms to the identity of an elderly person and at least deserves respect from others.

An unpleasant thing happened on a bus in Yongzhou, Hunan. After getting on the bus, an 84-year-old man, Zheng, madly beat the female driver with a cane. After the crutch was taken away, he picked up the broom and mop in the car and continued to fight. Both crutches and mops were discounted. During the period, a passenger stepped forward to stop it, but unfortunately he was also hit by the old man's stick. Those who fight but don't stop, the old man's practice is really too much.

The reason is that according to the statement of the female driver who was beaten, because the old man didn't show his old age card when he got on the bus, she just reminded him not to forget to bring it next time, and he was beaten for five minutes. Now the female driver is still lying in the hospital bed, and a lot of blood can be seen on the changed clothes, with her head cut open and her hands swollen. At present, the elderly have also been under the control of the police, waiting for further investigation.

I believe many readers have seen this video online. I don't know what you think. Sister nineteen is already angry. Although the cause of the incident is only known from the driver's mouth at present, the fact remains to be investigated, but even if the driver is too radical, the old man should not do it again. As can be seen from the surveillance video, the old man never gave up during the whole process, and the female driver never fought back, even though her head was already bleeding. Therefore, in addition to anger, the author is also thinking, the old man has been so unreasonable, why didn't the driver fight back?

There may be the following reasons: First, the bus company may have relevant regulations that do not allow drivers to conflict with passengers, otherwise they will be punished. Just like no matter how unreasonable customers are, restaurants don't want waiters to contradict customers; Second, the moral pressure is relatively high, and it seems a bit unreasonable to fight back with an 84-year-old man. The third is to be afraid of touching porcelain and worrying about the other party's "lying gun."

In traditional ideas, when elders criticize or even physically punish us, it seems that we really shouldn't talk back, let alone fight back. But the scene on the bus was not an educational corporal punishment, but a beating. Under such circumstances, can you fight back? In order to get the answer, nineteen sisters specially consulted some materials and consulted a classmate who was a lawyer. Legally speaking, everyone has the right to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. No matter whether the other party is old or young, you can defend yourself when you are personally attacked.

However, the answer given by my lawyer classmates is that it is not recommended to fight back after being beaten by an old man, because there may be three qualitative results, namely, beating the old man, fighting each other and self-defense. Beating the old will be more severe than simply hitting. Judging from the surveillance video, the old man started it first and has been playing. If he strikes back normally, he will not be judged as hitting the old man. But it is likely to be characterized as a fight, which means that no one can get away with it, and both sides have to bear the responsibility. If we want to define it as self-defense, we should pay special attention to the scale of striking back, which is difficult to control, especially when facing an old man.

What should I do if I am beaten by an old man? Running away, the old people are usually clumsy. If you run, he will definitely not catch up with you, which is also a way to prevent further infringement. There is also the choice to call the police and let the police handle it. On the bus, it is a bit unrealistic for the driver to leave his post, so the female driver who was beaten has been avoiding and blocking. She doesn't want the old man to be too dark and be taken to the hospital.

Then the question is, if you are beaten unreasonably by the old man, will you choose to fight back?
