Sure it's believable. That's the best brand of bullshit. Bullshit that affirms your reader's preconceptions, and fits as "Possible". And maybe it went down exactly as this lady describes. Like I said, we don't know.
I'm just pointing out that "article" provided zero evidence, and zero reporting except the victim's own thought out words on Twitter. That should make everyone suspicious that we don't have the details.
If we were leftists we could carry on that even if it's a lie, it's "raising awareness of the issue."
This is what happens when journalism gets it's feedback from clicks and impressions instead of being trustworthy.
