What's your take on this?

[dylan34_36]

What I saw is a bully get put in his place. I also think comparing this super grown man to a child or intellectually disabled person is insulting to those who are young or intellectually disabled. Theres a reason there are protections for juveniles and disabled persons. I do believe the elder man was asked to leave and didn't. I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure thats trespassing. Just my 2 cents.

The elderly also have protections in place, same as children and the disabled. An assault on an elderly person can result in enhanced sentencing following a conviction.

Shoot fair enough. If the older man belongs in a vulnerable adult category I'll eat my words as far the insult goes.

Back to that kelp casing, can't imagine it was tough.  Discovered it 2-3 years ago when my son showed up at camp with breakfast sausage.  I won't purchase any sausage with tough casing and know all the stores that carry the brand that uses kelp.  Sounds like he was offended about his sausage before it got to the skirt.  Either way I didn't see or hear anything that justified the beat down of an elderly person or anyone whatever the gender or age.  This easily could have gone much worse for both.

Dealing with a father suffering mental decline has really opened my eyes to how many people walking around on a daily basis are probably dealing with similar issues. He was always one of the friendliest most outgoing people I knew, never rude or confrontational. Over the course of the last year he has become irritable, difficult, and outright confrontational at times. His old self would be appalled by who he has become. He still functions fine and it's not like I can force him to stay home because he might piss off the cashier at Home Depot or something, but I should hope the people he encounters throughout his day can have the compassion and common decency to deal with him being an ass without getting physical. Bottom line, skirt boy is a coward plain and simple. His wife's shop now gets to pay the price for his insecurity

I had a neighbor that something similar happened to. Nice guy, friendly, outgoing and great with kids. Had a medical condition that completely changed him. Irritable, odd behavior, got banned from his local Safeway for life...Took a couple years, but lucky for him, doctors figured out what was going on and he is back to normal now.

My take is kilt guy should have never let old guys words get to him. Stay behind the counter and let LE figure it out.

OK just throwing this out as I have no real knowledge of either individual.

What if they are both unbalanced mentally.

Sorry for the guy being 86 would it be different if he was 66? I was at a store awhile back and a older gentleman was giving a young girl crap when she had nothing to do with the problem. Bad behavior from 8 to 86 isn't good. This situation could have been a lot different if he would have left the business.

Don’t start crap if you don’t want to get pushed down by a dude in a skirt

Apparently bad press and potential legal troubles for the business has led them to fire the employee just recently. Customers stating he was seen working there just last week.

DO THEIR KELP CASINGS SUCK OR NOT!? 

[Boss .300 winmag]

I feel both of them are at fault in their own way, I think they both need to do community service to their opposite age groups in the tune of 500 hours.

Maybe that would help them understand the world around them.

I’m likely to be that old dude in older age, but the military taught me how to keep my mouth shut when its necessary.🤣

Put kelp casing on my pepperoni sticks and we will fight. LOL

[Gentrys]

They are both what's wrong with society nowadays.

I swear this message board could escalate a fart in a whirlwind into a nuclear bomb. 

Yep but this board is pretty harmless when compared to a man in a skirt who had his sausage insulted.
