Would love to see the build up to the wee radge's meltdown...

From what he said, he thought one of the female cashiers smirked at him.  

I mean, it's amusing and all the rest of it but if I was the owner of that shop I'd be keeping a close eye on things, you can see people who show that visceral anger stewing on the perceived slights and returning to inflict violence.  The fact that the incident was captured on social media and widely shared adds to his humiliation and could fuel this as well.  Admittedly I've exacerbated this affect by sharing the tweet here.

I did see someone tweet that filming people at their very worst and sharing it to humiliate them for other people's amusement isn't good, I kind of agree and regret sharing it.  Maybe the guy was having a personal crisis or was under severe stress.  Who can honestly say they haven't got angry with someone who didn't deserve it?

I sometimes wonder what the long term affect of Twitter shaming is?  Has anyone seen any follow ups on the "PUT YOUR HANDS ON THE CAR AND GET READY TO DIE" guy?  I sometimes think about him.

For those who've forgotten the guy, here he is

"You big slut"

"I don't talk to wankers like you"

"I DO want you dead"

I would have loved to have seen that guy leathered. (The Tory BBC guy, not the wee guy)

I don’t think it was ever established what preceded the confrontation.

 

That's true I suppose. He defo looked the bad guy.
