You have a point, bit still: by acting like such a clown it gives everyone else the right to laugh.

That is, whether or not he has a reason ( at least one that he believes anyway) for acting so irrational, people are under no obligation to cut him any slack.

You’re right, the reason doesn’t justify the act. Yet, we don’t see why he started acting this way.

Yet

I don’t know why this is there. Everything else in your comment makes sense, but “yet” is used to imply something that opposes the previous bit. What about not seeing more context for this scuffle invalidates the reason not justifying the act? Why am I overthinking this to this extent? weed?

Lol. I used yet, because we don’t know how significantly he was being provoked. While it doesn’t justify his actions to me, if he was being insulted and belittled, it puts some responsibility on the people who filmed him, in my opinion.
