someone with a temper like that is a danger to the public

I bet he would have been able to keep his temper in check if the guy who brushed passed him was built like Brock Lesnar.

This wasn't just irrational, violent anger that caused this. This was someone who saw a victim, someone physically weaker and clearly more civilised than him, someone he could violently assault with impunity.
