Click the little speaker and you can hear the interview tape from right after.

I hope these fuckers are charged with assault. These girls had the t-shirts in their backpacks...not even wearing them!

5. These girls REALLY need some muscle to travel with them...
Someone to mix it up with the neo-fascist guards who apparently enjoy pulling girls by their hair.

10. Long time ago I saw a private guard roughing up
a teenage couple at an event. He made the mistake of ignoring the girl, who promptly snap kicked the side of his knee. His leg folded and they walked off into the crowd.

Moral of the story: Serious self defense training should be mandatory for women. It would make men much more respectful.
