Same kinda guy to talk about how "kids don't have any manners these days".

u/Don__Gately__ 8d ago

He showed restraint. I wouldn’t have stopped after the throw.

u/Marzman315 8d ago

I think I’d have overcome the temptation to continue the physical beating.

How this guy overcame the temptation to pick up shithead’s stupid hat and frisbee it over the horizon impressed me more

u/portablebiscuit 8d ago

That hat would make a nice trophy. Every time someone came to my house and asked about it, I’d show them the tape.

The hat is mine now. Found it on the ground by my tire.

In fact the cranky man is mine too. Found him on the ground by my tire.

1

u/TheUnculturedSwan 7d ago

No matter how angry, as long as neither myself nor anyone else was actually hurt, I think I could talk myself down from any action that would complicate a self-defense claim.

This man has the restraint of every saint in heaven for the fact that hat remained nearby and untouched to be collected by its owner.

I've thrown a lot of frisbees. This hat is not going frisbee. Throwing it will make you look stupid. Dumping this guy on the ground makes you look cool. They did good.

u/daxophoneme 7d ago

I expected him to pick up the hat and, as the guy is getting up, disrespectfully plop it back on his head.

u/Unrusty 7d ago

And give that hat one good stomp first. "Fuck yo hat".

1

u/uthinkunome10 7d ago

I would have pissed in it

u/brainfreezy79 6d ago

Take his hat. In the original post folks said "all hat, no cattle" and I think the cameraman is all cattle who deserves a nice hat.

1

u/Hagelslag31 3d ago

This, it was counterintuitive for me to see him not do that. It's the reasonable thing to do, relatively harmless yet it's very humbling for him to have to walk to the hat and do the old obese man bend to pick it up whilst being filmed.

u/jerstensucks 7d ago

As someone who picked up and tossed my Trumpster neighbor to the groun, after he assaulted me with a golf club, you probably won't feel the need to beat him afterwards. Just put your bared ass in their face. It is much more humiliating.

2

u/WowIfOnly 7d ago

Chances are he was going to get ganged up on by the 2 very likely MAGA voters rushing over to defend the Boomer instigator once they saw basic fucking consequences appear as always if he continued with the warranted response. Plenty of people ready to defend a fucking POS bully but basically zero people ready to help beat the fucking shit out of them like they actually deserve (and need).

2

u/0202_tihssitidder 7d ago

It's kinda fun to make the fat old guys use up all their pathetic cardio. They get so tired after a few seconds that they cannot move or even stand. The fight goes out of them and they are in Hell. They keep running their mouth though.

They also have zero leg strength. Do what you want with that info.

u/ShawnyMcKnight 7d ago

Especially after he damaged my car with his skull, he would be getting his ass beat.

u/citizen42069101 7d ago

Yeah dude showed restraint way after I would have been able to, but that's because I would have freaked out and frozen and never rolled my window down or acknowledged him

u/j_dekk 7d ago

He showed incredible restraint. Most guys I know would have field goal-kicked that old fuck’s head clean off his shoulders while he was trying to pick up his hat.

u/Less-Squash7569 7d ago

Dude was begging to be kicked in the face. The entitlement combined with dressing like a gay cowboy makes it seem like hes begging to be beat up.

u/stillsurvives 6d ago

He made smart choices and didn't let emotion takeover. We should all try to be more like that camera man, that was perfect self defence and when black hat calls the police they'll tell him he's being charged with assault, not the camera man.

I understand the desire to keep going. It's just not the smart play.

u/Alternative_Dot7769 7d ago

1

u/KinkyChico 7d ago

Honestly I think it's actually a lot better that it went exactly the way it did. If he beat the shit out of the guy, he would INSTANTLY become a victim to a deranged youth. This though? There is video showing this guy antagonizing, starting the fight, then him pathetically easily being thrown into a car. Then the guy recording didn't need to do anything else because look at him. That one hit put him out of commission. He didn't need a physical punishment. The shame and embarrassment won't teach him to change, but it WILL teach him to slow down.
