What's your take on this?

[The scout]

Can’t wait to get old so I can say and do whatever I want with no consequences.

It's really just a maturity issue.....you don't get to beat on the vulnerable populations.  Just like you don't get to smack a down syndrome kid who steals a candy bar from the store.   If you don't understand that....your likely a lot like the skirt wearing guy who clearly made a bad decision.  Having the old man trespassed would have been consequences enough.  Hell....probably could have just gave the guy a pound of burger and changed the situation 180 degrees with the kind gesture.  It's called, being the bigger man.

I don’t even know how to respond to this. You stretch it from beating on an old guy that provoked someone to a Down syndrome kid stealing a candy bar. I am not saying what the store worker did was right but I am saying you can’t get a get away free card just because you’re old. Why would he give him burger if he is being an A hole?

Vulnerable adults.....Elderly (not all), special needs, etc. (see post below it you still don't get it).  That is the connection / correlation.  You don't get to just beat on people because they don't like your store / meat.  The given of meat (i.e. pound of burger) would be one of many ways to diffuse the situation.....taking the high road.....being the bigger man.

I have no doubt the old guy was being a class A prick, but in no circumstance should a grown man let himself get triggered emotionally to the point he initiates contact on an actual non-threat.  Lashing out like that is for people who can't regulate themselves, or have such a weak sense of self their pride is too easily wounded.

You can definitely tell who is 55+ in these replies 

He had 86 years on this planet to learn how to not FAFO with unstable ppl. Not everyone plays nicely and being old doesn't get you a pass.

Who thinks taking a crotch shot is going to do anything put get your face punched lol.

The geezer should have run out to his rig and come back with a meat cleaver.

Assault/injure an elderly person and sentencing enhancements can be applied. Maybe those wouldn't be applied if he buried the cleaver too deep in kilt boys skull.

Hey man, don't make me 55 yet!  I got a few more years... 

I'm not talking about anything that happened after that initial shove, to be clear.  I'm saying that a man has a responsibility to keep his mitts off a more vulnerable person (elderly, women, kids, mentally disabled, etc.), no matter how antagonistic their words are - unless that person initiates physical violence.  If they do, then by all means defend yourself.  Sometimes people need to learn a hard lesson.

I'm 62.   Neither I nor any of my three grown sons would shove or punch an 86 year old man.   
We also wouldn't hit a woman.
It's not about our age.
We were all raised not to hit helpless people, even if they are being a jerk.

[Shoofly09]

the guy that punched an 86 year old in the face when he was prone on the ground is a little bitch

[MADMAX]

I’m 66
My fist fighting days are over

You don’t whoop up on old folks
It’ll get you shot or jailed these days

Honestly
If someone did that you your mom or dad
How would you respond ?

That’s how feuds start

[jrebel]

I'm not even 50 yet.......

Maybe I was raised correctly and learned to respect my elders.  If I punched everybody that said nasty things to me, I wouldn't be in the career I'm in.

Funny, I read some of these replies and just think "Kids these days"

Without knowing what is said, you don’t get a free pass because you’re old. Something similar happened in my town, and I know the antagonizing old man and he deserved everything he got. I’m not saying this guy does. But I would not jump to the older guys side just because he is old.

Disagree.
Dude in the skirt needs to control himself. It would take a lot of words to get me to beat up an old man. If the old guy was using a weapon or harming someone else, that’s a different story, but words… nope. Man up and walk away.

Y to




Not sure what you are disagreeing with? All I said was he shouldn’t get a pass because he is old. I hold my elders in highest regard but I give respect like I get it, I don’t care if you’re 8 or 80. Guy in the skirt definitely over stepped. No reason to take it that far.

[Fidelk]

Now me personally, I'm not against 80 year olds fighting. Don't take it away from them......that's like age discrimination. But it is bad form to punch a man in the face when he's down on his back......a boot to the ribs is the better approach. I'm thinking kilt boy is gonna do 90 days.
