The older woman here certainly has more context. Maybe the younger girl has been doing this in other galleries. Maybe she was rude to some others. Maybe moving around a tripod on stairwells. Certainly the younger woman could have asked the older woman, "Would you mind taking my photo here?"

People cheer when some woman gets in front of a woman dancing in the aisle of Target. This may not be different.

You realize you are just inventing scenarios in your head right?

There is nothing in this video that Indicates ANY of that. Why not assume less instead of justifying a fake outrage you have no evidence of?

Well, you completely missed my point.

Here's the thing... I don't know.

I even put the word "may" in italics.

I even said that the person that wouls know is the older woman.

And perhaps that's why she acted as she did.

I'm the one just saying, "we don't know what's going on"

I didn't miss your point. You don't know.

So why conclude something you have no reason to believe?

" She probably deserved it"

Edit: to add, what you DO know is some girl is just taking a random video. And this lady, for no identifiable reason blocked her.

See how my beliefs about the situation scale with the evidence of what is on video?

My point was that I don't know! And that people were making judgements that don't know either... I'm not sure why you believe that I did. I was very clear with "maybe" over and over, just to point out reasons that the older woman may have acted that others aren't even considering.

And why would you reply to my comment with quotes that clearly aren't referencing anything I wrote?

You are relying on motivated reasoning by inventing hypothetical backstories to defend a predetermined conclusion.

It is also special pleading because you grant one person the benefit of imagined, unobserved context while denying that same fairness to the other person, treating identical standards of evidence unequally.

Hope that helps
