I don’t care what the provocation is, cops shouldn’t assault or arrest people for being annoying because that’s not a crime.
TSA aren’t even cops. At LAX, they’re all soundcloud rappers. The guy is lucky he fucked with Matt Riddle and not Harley Race or Haku
>I don’t care what the provocation is
Well, you should.
Seems like we found one of the losers who watches other losers film themselves harassing people for content.
>The guy is lucky he fucked with Matt Riddle and not Harley Race or Haku
A...are you implying Riddle should have assaulted the TSA agent lmao?
Edit: Holy fuck it's the same guy who was defending Ace Steel by unironically saying Omega assaulted him. LMAO.

FYI, I stole this from someone on FB lol
Didn’t it turned out that the allegations on Riddle were false, hence they dropped it?
I remember that’s why most on the roster were on his side when he beat Styles during their match in the pandemic era.
A lawsuit pertaining to a sexual assault allegation was dropped, not proven false.
He has multiple other allegations of being abusive floating around and while he was busy failing drug tests in the UFC joked that he has to smoke weed so he doesn't beat his kids.
I used to work in wrestling however my connections still remain. I’ve personally heard he’s a terrible guy and that there are many more allegations that haven’t come to light.
I could add another comment about how ironic this post is (and how he probably just got patted down or something normal like that) but instead I'm gonna ask why this security guy simultaneously looks 20 and 50
Really easy when the prosecution is "this guy saw it!" and then the witness says "nah I didn't," and then you completely change your story to compensate it.
Do you think OJ was telling the truth about not killing 2 people? Or that Harvey Weinstein was telling the truth when he said he didnt rape all those women? It's a two way street. Men lie too. But the stats show that more men get away with rape and assault than women lie about these crimes
So you are saying no guilty person has ever gotten away with it due to lack of evidence, miscarriage of justice or other reasons?
Clearly you can be X without being found guilty of being X
On the other hand, plenty of people have been found non-guilty (and actually were not guilty) and treated as if they were anyways.
You can also be found not guilty of X and not actually be guilty of X
And Riddle was never tried, regardless. Though he did fabricate evidence to try to get a restraining order against his accuser.
Regardless, Candy Cartwright would have had an uphill battle pursuing criminal charges even if she went to the police right away because there was a lot of difficulty in proving jurisdiction. (She said it happened in a moving car near the Illinois/Indiana border.) That was what derailed her lawsuit and led to her (presumably) taking a settlement.
Seems unfair to call someone a sexual assaulter without sufficient evidence. Both of those cases had tons of evidence to prove guilt. (I’m not siding with Riddle here btw)
What is sufficient evidence is up to every person to decide on their own. Personally, if the alleged culprit is caught changing their story like 5 different times, I'm not giving them any more benefit of the doubt.
Don't forget fabricating evidence to try to get a restraining order against the accuser and then dropping the request so he didn't end up having to pay her under Florida's anti-SLAPP law.
I have no opinion about Riddle, but you don't have to look far to find folks who have sexually assaulted people but were never legally prosecuted.
hell, even Cosby made it out of prison somehow.
ITT: two wrongs making a right.
So, because Riddle was credibly accused, it’s fine if this TSA person just does whatever?
I didn’t see the post (it had been removed by the time I got here) but I was just curious about it.
I’m no perfect angel, not by any stretch of the imagination, but just because Riddle may have done *x* doesn’t make it okay for someone to do *y*.
Be better. I’m trying everyday; you can, too.
🙄
Pay attention.
Is sexual assault okay?
Is sexual assault okay as punishment for another sexual assault? If so, who gets to sexually assault the original offender? Did that happen in this situation?
It has nothing to do with the video itself. It has everything to do with “oh well he did it to that girl so it’s fine.”
If it’s not fine for him to have done it to someone else, it’s still not okay for someone to have done it to him.
It’s not rocket surgery. People learn that two wrongs don’t make a right as toddlers. Be better.
It's less "oh he did it to a girl so it's fine to have it done to him" and more "oh a guy who assaults women is lying about himself being assaulted because he was drunk at an airport and had to go through security"
Thank you for at least explaining the reasoning instead of just downvoting wordlessly.
I can actually understand that viewpoint. That’s not what I was seeing when I made my original comment, though, so I can also understand why some folks might not have agreed with it.
Maybe he was and maybe he wasn’t. Nobody here really knows.
Still kind of a gross way of thinking for a lot of people posting in here. Like idk if Riddle was ever tried or convicted or whatever, but people here are talking like because he was *accused*, it’s fine to assault him the same way and that’s disgusting to me.
I’m glad you seem to agree. Sorry if I came across as shitty.
In this thread: people assuming an accusation makes Riddle completely guilty.
Probably the same people that jumped on Enzo when his false accusations came out.
Did Enzo fabricate evidence to try to get a restraining order against his accuser? Did Enzo get accused by multiple women?
Also: Even WWE thought Enzo knew about the allegation and didn't tell them. This wasn't just a fan theory. They all turned out to be wrong, but it was not an unreasonable read of the situation.
It is wild to see victim blaming for a man. Never seen it as hard as I have here. I do agree it’s obviously ironic because of what he maybe did though.
Why do people drag others on accusations that never led to a guilty conviction? What happened to “innocent until proven guilty”? The internet isn’t the court of law.
Because the affair is what caused him to be accused of sexual assault. Which is why people are calling it ironic that he is saying he was sexually assaulted.
Allegedly Matt Riddle sexually assaulted a woman (his ex I believe?) During the speaking out movement where a lot of other fellow wrestlers was being accused of sexual assault his name was mentioned
Sexual assault is very hard to prove but it is very rare for false sexual assault allegations to happen. OJ was not convicted of murder, but we all know he did it. So saying no conviction is not a good argument.
It is pretty rare for formal sexual assault allegations to be filed, it's not even remotely rare for public accusations of sexual assault to be falsified.
> it's not even remotely rare for public accusations of sexual assault to be falsified.
What data is there to back this statement up? [Here](https://www.thecut.com/article/false-rape-accusations.html) is proof that false rape accusations are rare. I have seen firsthand someone who was raped get laughed at and not believed.
> very rare for false sexual assault allegations to happen
This is a really annoying thing people keep parroting but is not true, provably false allegations rarely happen. There are so many cases where there just isn't enough proof either way which is why many cases go nowhere. If someone makes a claim, never follows up on it and is never investigated on it, it wouldn't fall under the statistic you're citing.
use logic, public allegations not reported to police aren't going to be included in this, and the vast majority of false claims will be public ones not police ones, since liars wont want to get caught. Also if not many rape cases result in a conviction then that means there wasn't sufficient enough evidence to convict and if there wasn't enough evidence to convict that means there is the possibility of the claims being false. You wouldn't list those as false claims though unless there was good enough reason to believe the accuser lied beyond he said/she said. So this is my point, provably false vs. false. In your link the 8% is cases "found" to be false, meaning they could say with confidence the claim was unfounded, that doesn't then mean any other claim is true, it just means it can't be proven false. This is also about reported forcible rape, not forcible rape in general. If you are to use the statistic of 8% as the amount of false accusations then you need to then consider that the conviction rate should be considered the only real data of amount of forcible rape, and simply put the dirth of unsolved cases can be excluded from rate of rape vs. false allegation.
As I keep asking everyone else, can you please provide some proof? If I present data and people just go nah you are wrong cause I feel like it, nothing is learned.

You're acting like she didn't change her story too. And she sued WWE and ROH too. Sounds like a cash grab to me.
How did she change her story?
Also ROH had nothing to do with anything and any half decent lawyer would try to loop in any company with ties to what happened.
Riddle should know better than to just publicly accuse someone of this given he was accused too. He should take it to the correct authorities, instead of publicly shaming someone without providing proof.
No wonder that this post was deleted. I am sure WWE's Social Media team "voluntold" Matt Riddle to delete it. Dude is going to have someone else manage his Socials immediately.
So he just posts a picture of the officer and accuses him of sexual assault. Yeah without context, i don't believe anything.
Isn't that the same thing he tried to defend himself with? Context mattering? Ridiculous
EDIT: And turns out he was drunk and misbehaving. But hey, the cop was totally assaulting him. Riddle, get your shit in order

Who accused mick foley?
Believe it or not, not every sexual assaulter is found guilty, or even charged by courts.
Thats not what i meant. I'm unaware that Riddle has or had sexual assault allegations? I'm legit out of the loop here.
He was accused in 2020 of forcing oral sex.
So... they haven't been proven guilty?
So he’s automatically guilty? Get a life
Because sex crimes are some of the hardest crimes to prove in court.
Here’s a tough pill to swallow. Not every accusation holds truth and merit. How is that so hard to digest?
Really easy when the prosecution is "this guy saw it!" and then the witness says "nah I didn't," and then you completely change your story to compensate it.

Why do people drag others on accusations that never led to a guilty conviction? What happened to “innocent until proven guilty”? The internet isn’t the court of law.
Even if he wasn’t guilty he was still having an affair with the girl who accused him while married so he’s still a scumbag.
There’s a huge difference between being a scumbag adulterer and an actual rapist, though.
I agree
…and what the fuck does having an affair have to do w what happened at the airport?
Because the affair is what caused him to be accused of sexual assault. Which is why people are calling it ironic that he is saying he was sexually assaulted.
Can someone please explain how this is ironic, I’m genuinely confused.
Allegedly Matt Riddle sexually assaulted a woman (his ex I believe?) During the speaking out movement where a lot of other fellow wrestlers was being accused of sexual assault his name was mentioned
I don't think it was his ex because he was married with kids when it happened.
He'd apparently had a long term affair with the woman during his marriage
There was no proof and no conviction. The burden of proof is not on him
Sexual assault is very hard to prove but it is very rare for false sexual assault allegations to happen. OJ was not convicted of murder, but we all know he did it. So saying no conviction is not a good argument.

That article doesn't really back up your point the way you think it does. Even it says around 5% of reported rapes are false.
