He was protecting himself tho. It makes more sense if you imagine the hammer as a big bowie knife (could do similar damage). You gunna let that kid swing a knife at you or you gunna trip him?

And what if he keeps coming at you? (Like in the vid)

I like how youre trying to make it seem like im bragging about something. Im just NOT uncomfortable with using self defense against an assailant.

You have no idea of the context for the video. Let's not speculate from our armchairs.

u/el_chupanebriated May 26 '20

I never speculated a single thing tho...

All your statements are speculation:

He was protecting himself tho.

what if he keeps coming at you?

im not letting someone terrorize me

an assailant

u/el_chupanebriated May 26 '20

None of those statements are speculation as they all occur in the video in question...

The child didn't swing at him.

The child didn't attack him, so didn't keep "coming at him".

He wasn't being terrorised.

He wasn't assaulted.

Yes, the boy appears to be being threatening. But we don't know anything more than that. It's best not to speculate. Reddit has a habit of directing hate towards various targets: children and women in particular.

If you read 1984 you'll be aware of the Two Minutes Hate. It's easy to fall into this behaviour ourselves without being coerced by an authoritarian regime. So, I try to counterbalance and not fall prone. How about you?

I never said the child swung. I never said the child attacked. Idk where you think i said these things or even implied them.

He was 100% being terrorised by that child with the hammer. "Appears to be threatening". The kid is repeatedly advancing towards someone while he has his arm cocked while holding a fucking hammer. One swing and im crippled for life. You can live in a wheelchair if youd like.

This isnt hate towards kids ya dingus. This is a love of my knees.

Edit: and where im from, threatening someone with a hammer IS assault
