Whatever stupid thing they were arguing about, the biker had the chance to bail. But no, he had to prove the size of his balls by swinging a steel weight at the guy's head.
I'm with the OP. The punk kid, not the old man, needs some jail time.
there is a substantial amount of video which does not show the interaction between both men.
it is stupid to place blame without a full context.
the video shows 1 man following and shouting at another man with a bicycle. it is clear the cyclist is attempting to leave. a blind spot appears and the next shot shows a man reaching towards the cyclist, who then swings a u lock at him. the cyclist immediately stops swinging the u lock when the man retreats from the cyclist. the first several swings appear to hit the body of the man.
perhaps the man grabbed the cyclists bike? perhaps he assaulted him? the man appears to be the aggressor as he pursues the cyclist. if i had someone pursuing me, within 1 foot of me i would definitely not TURN MY BACK and throw one leg of the bicycle the attempt to pedal off.
and your bias is clearly evidence of ageism: "punk kid" and "old man"
both appear to be adults.
you have no context of the prior events.
before exposing his testicles' nature, the cyclist tried to leave...the man pursued him. what is the intent of someone that pursues you?
exactly. you dont know.
people. some really need experience or understanding of physical conflict/confrontation.
