For millennia, wealthy and powerful people have suffered no consequences for idiotic and entitled behaviors. Many have skirted justice for the vilest crimes simply because no hard documentation existed, no witnesses were present, or their sins took place in private. The digital age has changed that to some degree. The ease of documenting such things and the court of public opinion have brought some accountability to people that could have denied or purchased their way out of trouble.
I see your opinion as less about the rights of the common man or the dangers of mob rule rather, you see a kindred spirit in this woman. If it wasn't for those darned phones and video sharing, she would still be collecting a six-figure salary and no one would know her name. How dare those working-class service employees stand up for themselves and harm the reputations of their betters! They are supposed to take that abuse and be thankful that the affluent keep them from starving. High income earners and trust fund babies must stick together and keep the commons in their place, eh Rojo?
It is like the old joke stating that poor people are crazy while rich people are eccentric. Drunken violence is trashy behavior when done by poor people, but a highly forgivable lapse in judgement for the monied. We now live in the FAFO world. Perhaps those with much more to lose should learn to moderate their worst impulses instead of expecting broader society to look the other way?
How many times this week has Rojo posted the wrong link to a thread? Nobody even expects you to keep up with the running side of things anymore. Zero knowledge. Terrible leader. Have Gault take over the site and just leave.
3) I'm also disturbed Strava fired her. Unless she was awful at he job and this is an excuse, who the F cares? She messed up one time. She shouldn't lose her job for getting drunk and thronw out of a restaurent.
Nice to know Gault has a ton of leeway for stuff like this and has the greenlight to go on a drunken rampage and keep his job!
Perhaps I went too far in defending her. Normally like when a bouncer gets arrested for assault, I always defend the bouncer. The vdieo I saw was hard to follow. I just don't like a man tripping a woman no matter what she did to him earlier.
Yes, she started. Yes she was a bi&&&.
And if she was trying to get them fired, well then I guess she got what she deserved but she clearly in another world.
The "sweep the leg" move at the end, although probably unnecessary, was one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. After several minutes of her acting like an absolute lunatic, she had that coming. Women fear nothing in public because 99.9% of the time they face no physical consequences like a man does for the same behavior. For once, a woman got a small taste of what a guy would have encountered had he acted like her.
San Francisco is cooked! Fantasyland policies, homeless vagrants with no rules, open air drug use, crime up, and residents leave their trunks open to deter Loser thieves. LOL. California dreaming…….
It is so bizarre that Masked Off sees this incident as an opportunity to bash San Francisco.

Its less about defending her actions, which everyone can see were abhorrent, and more about examining the actions of others when someone is clearly out of their mind. Is it okay for a staff member to body slam someone in a restaurant, belligerent or not? Is it okay to escalate by getting out a phone and filming from a short distance away? Is it okay to trip a drunk woman on the sidewalk when she could have been seriously injured? Citizens of developed societies don't act this way. Overreactions have been so normalized in this country that people are primed to act, and inundated with images of people doing just that. I am American, but travel a lot for work and I can say that this would have been handled very differently in many other countries. I am not saying it was an easy situation, but it could have been handled far better by staff. There is also zero indication of any kind of wealth gap or privilege here. Who knows what her background is. Would you want to see a highly intoxicated sister, aunt, cousin or friend treated this way at their lowest point?
They’re likely on LSD. Some people think they can drink like a fish on acid but the alcohol will make the monster rise. Boyfriend is tripping hard here. Then that trip at the end….not a very masculine move from the samurai looking waiter.
This woman embodies the overpaid, overhyped, d-bag tech workers that have ruined the vibe this town used to have. A bunch of self important wankers that swagger about completely lacking in social graces and self-awareness. They are shallow nerds that think money buys them class and allows them to do whatever they like without repercussions.
Kudos to Strava for taking out their trash and best of luck to Ms. Afkari as she tries to rebuild her reputation and career in another city.
I don't think that she should necessarily lose her job for this. People do make mistakes. And this has nothing to do with her job. Unless this is pattern, and/or there is a lot more to the story, as there often is, she might do better with a reprimand or treatment (?).

Stupid, this stuff goes on all over the United States.
