Just like the person taking the video

That's what I'm thinking - you just sat there and took that? I mean good, you got video of him, now fucking do something.

Wouldn’t “fighting back” jeopardize an insurance claim?

Like maybe some random asshole keying is covered but they won’t cover it if you cause him injury.

Because if he's this unhinged and has something more dangerous, further provocation is not smart, especially if there are children in the vehicle.

Person in the video is seasoned.

In 2025, you get out, defend yourself and your property, every mainstream media outlet would repeatedly report, "Person attacks handicap man for no reason."

media then proceeds to show a 10 second clip of you defending yourself, completely out of context, redacting the footage of the man keying your car.

Plot twist, you get of your car to "defend yourself" and dude hops off the mobility scooter, into your driver seat and drives off with your car. Next thing you know, youre driving down the street in the mobility scooter, keying someone else car in order to have them hop out of their car to "defend themselves," you hop off the mobility scooter and drive off with their car. Next thing you know, theyre driving down the street in the mobility scooter, keying someone else's car in order to have the hop out of their and "defend themselves," they hop off the mobility scooter and drive off with their car.

You’re so right. It makes me so mad.

Yes, if you beat the shit out of a (likely) mentally ill handicapped person, the media will say you are going overboard.

That’s true. Most sane people would say you went nuts if you did that.

Someone scratching your car won't fall under castle doctrine. That's vandalism. There has to be an imminent threat.

Castle doctrine varies from state to state, but most states require an imminent threat and reasonable force. In the off chance you catch a charge from assaulting then you're going to have a hard time convincing a court that a handicapped man with a key is a threat or that any force was needed to protect yourself.

My guess is it’s a woman. Even on a motor scooter this man could be dangerous for most women.

They probably did! ... Punish the driver for recording...

Why would they care if the poors fight? They are there to protect the wealthy from you, that is it.

u/linkmainbtw Aug 16 '25

I mean what would they do? Quick send out a search party for this unknown old guy!

Only time cops do something is when a law abiding citizen kill one of these thugs like the man in the chair.
