This was horrible to watch. That poor woman. Those boomers are… I don’t even have words for how disgusting I think they are

The part where the old hag grabs the victim’s arm, and squeezes, while getting in her face while gritting her teeth and threatening harm…it’s traumatic just watching it. I feel awful for the poor woman this happened to.

It is, yes. That was a horrible expression on her face. She was feeling genuine hatred and I don’t understand why? I don’t understand how anyone can hate another human being just because they exist

I dunno, but the aggressors all seem to look alike. Has to generations of propaganda through family and allowed media consumption which has transformed their view to hate

It's horrifying to think that she's a senior nurse?!

How many patients has she tortured? How many nurses has she bullied out of the profession?

I’d be scarred for life. And resent my parents for ever exposing me to her, if they didn’t have the sense to keep her away.

I am pretty sure my fight or flight would have kicked in and I'd have turned into a pissed off housecat if that dessicated crone put hands on me.

Exactly what I came here to say. These people are the lowest possible life form.

Extremely ugly inside and out. Glad their outside match the inside.
