This idea that just because he's old, means he can say whatever he wants, provoke whoever he wants, and act like a blithering jerk, is ridiculous.
Nope
Otherwise
Snotty Women Would Be Black-Eyed And Fat Lipped All Over The Place
And, Of Course This Young Man CAN'T Just Walk Away
But before I blindly make a judgement, I want to know what precipitated this.
The Judge Will Sort It Out
Laytee Turned Himself In
And You've Yet To Insinuate
The Black Guy Even Might Be An Asshole
Being old, doesn't give you an exemption for common courtesy.
And Rude Is Not Cause For A Beat-Down Assault
This Was Not A Slap In The Mouth

Of course, I agree with all of that.
Yes, he should have walked away. I would have.
And of course the kid could be a jerk. Maybe the old man did nothing.
Why 'must' I insinuate the obvious? Why can't people simply shut up, until the facts are out?
Why can't you even allow someone like me, to say I want to know the whole story first?
This is the problem in America right now. Everyone has to jump on a side, before we even know what the side is? You can't even hold a position of "I am not informed enough to know" with someone like you saying "Why didn't you insinuate the kid was just a jerk?"
We don't know.
And yes, I am generally against violence, and attacking people. But I'm also not blindly going to give amnesty to someone, if they were directly provoking the attack.
Just because you get punched, doesn't mean you didn't ask for it. Wrong is wrong. But just because the other person did something wrong, doesn't mean you were not also doing something wrong.
If you were provoking an attack, then you are guilty as well.
The fact you are guilty of provoking an attack, doesn't mean the other person is exempt.
It is possible that BOTH parties were guilty. I have no sympathy for someone who gets their face smashed in, when they did everything in their power, to push the other person to do the smashing.
And that includes women, by the way. That lady that hit the bus driver, and the driver stopped the bus, knocked her clean off her feet, and tossed her head first off the bus.... Was he wrong? Sure. Still don't care what happened the that girl. She earned it.
Both can be at fault. You go around provoking people, and someone will does some four-fingered surgery on your face, don't come crying to me. You get what you deserve.
