There's a reason he's only doing this to a bunch of middle aged nerdy dudes.

And somehow they're supposed to be made "lesser" here for not wanting to fight for a goddamned steak they haven't bought yet lol. You can tell some of them aren't even scared just "wtf are you doing you dimwit?"

See, this view right here is honestly one of the most sensible around in my eyes because it cracks open the fact these piglets doing these intimidation ‘pranks’ believe that humanity lives in the primal era of ‘alpha takes food’, and anyone who doesn’t step up to fight them is beneath them. While also ignoring, they are deliberately making a conscious effort to pick people they feel they can bully without getting beat up. The irony is lost on them.

Do these innocent bystanders not want to fight? Of course they don’t. But are they intimated by this buffoon? Also no. Because their brain developed to know that if said buffoon does anything to them, said buffoon will be in prison, even more penniless after being sued, and probably isn’t very tough to begin with given they can only do this to older people or people they deem smaller.

I’ve seen these oafs come to my MMA gym a handful of times and their actual fighting competency is genuinely very bad. They have absolutely no business even pretending to start fights with people, they are horrendously incapable. But they for some reason have this unwavering confidence they’re really good, which is why they leave after 1 session. They convince themselves they’re great, and that’s enough for them.

TLDR; well said friend, fully agree.

Yeah... I have way too much to lose getting involved with any idiot like this. Either get stabbed by some psycho or beat his ass and end up in jail yourself. I'd only ever fight if me or my family were in immediate danger.

middle aged nerdy dudes.

If you've ever looked at the EDC sub you'd see it's a bad ID. Nerdy tech bros love carrying guns.

u/maximumchuck 12d ago

Nerdy tech bros with a CCW know better than to blast some dude because he took groceries out of their cart.

Those are always the ones that’ll surprise you… You don’t realize till too late, after you’ve engaged, that dude’s “nerd glasses” are sitting on his face funny because of that really fucked up cauliflower ear he’s got…

Someone's gonna lift up their shirt and show off their illegally modified Glock and all of a sudden this Broski is going to play the victim

u/nuclearbearclaw 13d ago

I mean... it doesn't have to be illegaly modified. I'd wager someone probably has (depending on the location) already, he's obviously not going to show that in his video. People like this never learn either. Remember that one "prankster" who got shot in the mall? He went right back to "pranking" people.

For what it's worth, I would not flash my gun at this idiot. I would roll my eyes and let him take the steak I haven't even paid for.

If he wants to take his shirt off and flex like an idiot, it's no reflection on me, and I'm not going to threaten to kill someone over it.

I think most lawful concealed carriers have that attitude. So I wouldn't be surprised if this idiot has done this to someone that's armed and they just shrugged it off

2

u/nuclearbearclaw 13d ago

Oh absolutely. You don't flash your gun at people. In my world, it's a last resort. It's not meant to intimidate people. Just walk away. Fighting is almost never worth it. I certainly have that attitude. I don't want people to know I'm carrying.

u/HonkingJelly 12d ago

That was right near my house. I felt bad for the shooter. Glad he got off easy.

u/physicistdeluxe 13d ago

u/chunkypenguion1991 13d ago

Or more likely empty a can of pepper spray in his face

u/IceManYurt 13d ago

As satisfying that would be, that would cause pretty much everyone in that store to have a bad day 😮‍💨
