Afroman's 'slap'

edit

Hi Jeremy. I'm not convinced by your arguments in this revert.

The article cited - written in WLOX who've been around for 52 years - states the action was a punch, not a 'slap'. Have you watched the videos to which the WLOX article leads its readers? Surely one would accept WLOX's assertion that it was a punch?

In what way would you suggest the edit broke the wp guidelines to which you referred?

Hi Trafford, I believe that the edit you submitted was a sensationalist edit with the explicit intent to portray "Afroman" as a delinquent in his actions whether they were right or wrong and as such, it exhibited a non-neutral point of view.
You can question whether it was a punch or slap, I don't really care as he hit the victim either way. The article cited and that you referenced also stated that Afroman had reacted with an "involuntary reflex reaction" when the victim (allegedly) made contact with him from behind. You also have to factor in that there were "12-15 security guards in a crowd of 500 people" (sizeable security measures) so Afroman wouldn't have expected somebody to "...infring(e) on his stage space".
All in all, the article is touchy and at this point it should remain super neutral and only state the facts, eg. the fact that he was arrested, that he did punch/slap the victim, that its not known if she(the victim) was or wasn't invited or expected to be on stage, and as per the video, the fact that Afroman did notice her but had his back to her up until the last second before the incident. I also believe that it is note worthy that according to the Biloxi police chief, Afroman "gave us no problem whatsoever" in regards to the incident.
Please note that the article cited is at this time still being edited and formulated (originally posted on the 17th @ 9pm and most recently updated on the 18th @ 4pm).
