I wonder what the reaction here would be if the video ended by one of the young guys smashing the remote control over one of the old guy's face in reaction to having a golf club swung at him.
This is the reasoning behind my stance. Violence begets violence.
And I also love how nobody (yyz) is saying anything about the internet tough guys on the older side.... "If this were my group...."
Really, my guess after meeting several of you in person would probably think it was a pretty funny prank (as long as you didn't make some ill-timed presses, of course). I don't get the total anger in it. Pretty harmless prank if you ask me.
It's certainly not tearing up someone's bushes
The only "tough guys" I was talking about, lived in the video.
I can just see them pecking away about how "I woulda done this, or I coulda done that".
Well, we see what really happens.
I highly doubt I would have smashed their car, myself. But, it doesn't bother me that they did.
Again, it's all about circumstances. If these lads were playing in a vacant lot, and these old dudes walked by and stomped on their car.....I would fully expect their reactions. But, when you run it up their ass as a joke, and it backfires.......IMO, you really don't have much to bitch about.
Matter of fact, if these "kids" would have went up there and said, "Hey, we're sorry. We were only having a little fun, and didn't know it would cause that much anguish", I'm guessing the old goat would have felt pretty stupid.
Also, the way the second old guy was trying to be a peacemaker initially, he might have paid for the car.
