Rational thought

Do you assume that these UNICEF workers physically assaulted this guy?

If not then do you assume that even if they said the most vile words in existence that that warrants a physical attack like this?

Funny you should say rational thought but want us all to exercise a level of conjecture as to what happened before.

Rational thought is their code for, “agree with my irrational thought.”

It’s not a question of “instigation”, it’s a question of transitioning from offensive words to violence, plus the actual issuing of death threats.

Unless you think the UNICEF people (all of whom are smaller in stature) started the violence, this guy is the one who started the violence which in a normal society is the kind of things that criminals do. Him chosing death threats (literally “I’ll kill you!”) rather than non-deadly threats is also highly abnormal (well, maybe not in his society) in that is far more extreme than even a common violent drunk would do (at least here in Europe).

In your group effort to excuse the actions of this guys, you just come out as desperatelly trying to hammer a square peg into a round hole.

Like I said, not excusing that and he should be arrested.

However before you go farther than what is justified by the context given, ask yourself what you’re assuming about that’s context and how it could change

That’s the point, WE DON’T KNOW.

What is more likely though, that several UNICEF workers decided to just pick on a random shopper.

Or the random shopper was triggered by UNICEF being there and possibly raising money or awareness about a genocide being committed.

If I had to speculate on what likely happened, it’s quite possible the unicef guys were shooting the shit, commenting on the situation, and triggered a passerby already on edge.

Maybe he just saw it and was triggered, the point is we don’t know.

Or maybe all we actually see is the threat of violence. That guy should be arrested. Anything else is speculation but hopefully the police investigate after arresting him

I see one dude going ballistic and a bunch of anxious onlookers.

Come enjoy reality with us!

Not at all, I entirely agree there is one person threatening violence and he should be arrested.

I’m trying to say the lemmings calling him a nazi and him murdering children are out of line. I mean, it could be true but we see nothing here to support that
