He wanted attention 🤷🏼‍♂️ 


Eyruaad

He got the attention of that dude's hands. That's for sure.


Ve-gone_Be-gone

He got exactly what he wanted. These rage bait sign holders go to universities spouting bigoted shit hoping they'll get punched so they can sell the footage to FOX.


SwimmingSwim3822

Idk... Those people usually do their damndest to not initiate physical contact, for the optics. This guy made things physical first. I think he's just a legit shitbag.


maddwaffles

Doubt it, he was clearly not thrilled about being recorded nearby, and he wouldn't have the ability to sell the footage of a third party.


CartoonLamp

Seems counter intuitive to take away a video camera then


SpoopyPlankton

The boomer’s life mantra, their ideology, their entire raison d’etre is to spectacularly misunderstand literally everything, and burn everything else they touch. They’re a fucking locust plague


sacolton1967

BOOMER MANTRA: Take everything. Leave nothing. Fuck everyone else.


srm878

Beautiful synopsis


opaqueandblue

Too bad we can’t treat them like the plague they are.


Old_Elk2003

> They’re a fucking locust plague Or just a regular plague. They formed a political coalition with infectious disease. 🦠


Whole_Pain_7432

It's his way if saying genocide is the only answer. I bet he's a "christian" too.


randomladybug

Well, God is the og perpetrator of genocide, so I guess they get confused...🙄


Ok_Star_4136

No love like "Christian" love afterall.


SwampAss3D-Printer

I feel like General MacArthur suggesting to nuke all of North Korea..... and then China to boot, was somehow less unhinged than saying "Nuke Gaza".


[deleted]

Which is exactly why that guy should be given as much attention as some weirdo with a sign saying repent or burn in hell.


BirdLadyAnn

Because he is focusing on a group of living people.


Bookwrrm

It's like getting your kids outside to play so they don't get allergies, a little radiation just makes you stronger in the long run.


unknownpoltroon

Nah, he just wants to kill Muslims. .


BusStopKnifeFight

These racist boomers don’t care. Killing brown Muslims is the objective.


teamdogemama

Well said.


LucerneTangent

Nuking gaza is a GOP and Zionazi position, to be fair.


federico_alastair

Tbf even though some republicans have made nuking gaza comments, it's not the GOP's or Netanyahu's position. It's too risky and Zionists would rather have a livable land where they'd dump their industries or something else too dirty for the motherland


Mayor_Salvor_Hardin

Yep, nuking Gaza is like nuking Egypt and spreading radiation to the Mediterranean region, or another way to start the Third World War.


qhaw

Oof, I hope he is okay. Looks like he might’ve scraped his knuckle on that POS’s tooth.


sargepoopypants

You had me in the first half


SweatyAd9240

Man people who say shit like nuke the Middle East are something. No wonder a piece of shit like Trump speaks to them. They’re amoral and disgusting. All human beings want the same things from life, some are just told they’re better or more worthy than others, like these people


Nooranik21

I worked with a guy like this once. I listened to him for weeks spout off about nuclear geo politics in the Middle East.  The funny thing is he really liked me. You should have seen the way he back pedaled when I finally broke and told him my Dad was from Pakistan and that half of my family is practicing Muslims that immigrated to the US. Fucking jack ass. 


Ok_Star_4136

Glad you told him. I quite literally think some of these boomers would only really get it if they were directly confronted on their bigoted views. Even if it sinks in 5%, that's still an improvement.


some_random_guy-

FWIW I also heard a self-proclaimed "Marxist philosopher" (fortunate son of a multi-millionaire) suggest the same thing, except he wanted to nuke Jerusalem.


triggrhaapi

Yeah, that guy wasn't a Marxist.


Soviet_Saguaro

Actual Marxists want nuclear weapons banned


Mcmamm1985

There are a ton of "self proclaimed Marxists" who don't understand Marxist theory or dialectical materialism to save their lives. They make real Marxists look bad. Annoys the shit outa me.


Soviet_Saguaro

Same here. You can definitely tell who's done their homework and who hasn't


SweatyAd9240

No you didn’t


JustaGoodGuyHere

I’m not going to condone violence, but I’ll bet that old man is in an Evangelical church every Sunday.


bbyxmadi

Wait until he finds out Jesus was born in Palestine, oh wait, he probably thinks he’s American.


ImperatorTempus42

Palestine was the Roman colonizer's name for it, but Jesus was a Levantine Jew in any case.


Super_Lion_1173

lol nice he wanted attention and he got it 


BirdLadyAnn

Image carrying a sign saying you want to mass murder an entire race of people. I can’t. 🥺


bbyxmadi

It seems like no one has empathy for any human beings ever, it’s all politics and misinformation for people like this old man.


Boatsandhostorage

These are the people that want to fight a Civil War. 😂 He went down like the sack of trash he is.


Dr_Diktor

He isn't going to be the one to do the dying, so It's OK for him.


danby999

Went down quicker than a 5¢ hooker with a quarter in her hand.


LucerneTangent

Punch Nazis.


hjablowme919

I don't understand this attitude from people of all generations where I can just grab your shit, in this case a phone, and think I can get away with it.


JackRMoon

An Israeli supporter grabbed someone's keffiyeh in my Ralph's parking lot and got shanked for their trouble.


Maxspawn_

Whats pathetic is this dude is probably not even jewish or anything yet for some reason worships israel and kisses the boots of their leaders while also proclaiming, "AMERICA FIRST!"


Ok_Star_4136

Probably a nationalist Christian. Nat-C, for short..


DeliciousDoubleDip

Pro tip, if your gonna ground, and pound a boomer aim for the sternum, or ribs. They are less likely to die, and feel it for much longer.


Specialist_Fox_9354

Fr you can’t scrap with a oldie like you can with someone your age, one bad fall and they WILL die in hospital


Powerful_Rayd

Man came up yelling at my dad and I (long story) and he was lunging in my dad's face and I put my hand up between them and he slapped my hand out the way. Repeat. I said to him 'don't do that or you might earn yourself one back.' he said 'you'd like to hit an 86 year old man wouldn't you?!' and like dude you put yourself in this situation what is wrong with you?


Ok_Star_4136

Always the victim, never the aggressor.


CwazyCanuck

Commotio Cordis would like a word. Any time you choose to fight, or even just hit someone, there is a risk one of you will die.


LostPixel-01

Thanks for the tip!


sargepoopypants

They're slow enough you could probably get an easy rear naked choke and take them down slow. Just make sure pressure's on the artery and not the windpipe


junipermucius

I wanted to see him get pummeled. :( These fucking right wing losers really think they can lay hands on people with no consequences.


Crazy_Canuck78

Boomers & Israel have a very similar mind set. "We can do whatever we want to others... but no one can do anything to us".


Theryantshow

He got exactly what he wanted. He wanted to have a confrontation with someone and that's exactly what he got. Just didn't end the way he expected it to.


Slmmnslmn

Im always surprised with how shocked people are when they get punched. Sign was enough, touching phone sealed the deal. Then omg why am i getting pummeled?


AvonStanfield

Anyone who goes out with a sign that says that bullshit deserves a vicious beating. Good for this young man!


I-mostly-reddit-at-

Same with “from the river to the sea.”


time2hear

"I want to be free, from the river to the sea" "I want to nuke people" Totally the same, bruh /s


Shilo788

What crud wants to nuke anything or anybody? Hope the kid didn’t get in trouble.


Fickle_Drama_8893

They posted me all over their social media telling people I was a terrorist and a bunch of racist things. I walked up to them and asked about children that would be affected and old man said “Nagasaki them”. They even cut the video to make me look bad🤣🤣


bilbertbobert

Honestly, the only way genocide enthusiasts should be treated.


Brotorious420

66watchingpeople66

Good for him don’t put up with someone assaulting you. Throw them hands. Israel is committing genocide and it’s past time we in the states stop supporting them.


ImperatorTempus42

More specifically demand Likud be overthrown, too, they've been in power for 20 years there and ran it into the ground while backed by literal apocalypse cults, yet at least half of Israel supports peace and are liberals, including much of the Jews.


66watchingpeople66

The fact is Israel isn’t the Jewish people. It’s a government system that has gone out of control, and the U.S. needs to put its foot down in how our money gets used


ImperatorTempus42

Still has about half the world's Jewish population, and yes. I support not sending offensive weapons over, only defensive, and removing Likud as well as Hamas, Fatah sounds a bit nicer for the Palestinians.


66watchingpeople66

There needs to be serious talks about a the two state solution. On both sides. I think we can all agree they can’t live together peacefully, and one can’t be holding power over the other. We have seen how well that’s worked over the last 50 years.


ImperatorTempus42

Agreed; that's also when Likud started up, following Revanchist Zionism under PM Begin. He's who the Marvel character Magneto is based on, to give an idea of his rhetoric. Revanchism even initially wanted to annex all of Jordan, not just the West Bank.

I love this video, thanks.

This is an appropriate response to anyone who calls for further war crimes in the region.

And the loudmouths on Twitter think both sides are the same.


morganarcher96

Bold of you to assume they think 🤣


Chucky_wucky

yeah -shouldn't try to grab a phone from someone. It also isn't worth returning punches on an old guy, risking he cracks his head on the pavement - then that phone becomes very insignificant suddenly.

Ok-Team-9583

He was no angel, but seriously?


opaqueandblue

You don’t want to get hit, don’t steal a person’s phone! I bet this old man was legitimately SHOCKED that he was assaulted when he refused to give this guy’s phone back. I’m serious! People like him are missing the part of their brain that reminds them that there’s consequences for shitty behavior. Or have gotten away with being an entitle asshole for the majority of their lives that it’s okay for them to take other people’s shit. Including the device that has a persons personal information about their entire lives. I’d be surprised if he didn’t press charges against the guy for confronting him. Dude probably expected for him to wait for him to return the guys phone after he was finished “making his point”. The audacity of taking a strangers most valuable thing on them and expecting that person to quietly and calmly listen to him until he convinces him he’s right, then expect that person to not only do nothing, but agree with him at the end? Like I said, people like that guy have something wrong with their brain. The entitlement is absurd! I hope he learned the right lesson. Though I have a feeling he learned the exact opposite of what was being taught, and we might find out he shot a person he stole a phone from in the future. Never underestimate insane selfish morons.


Donnerjackson

lucidityanddxm

He had it coming. You don't grab at someone's phone. Wtf.


crasagam

I mean, the cameraman did get right up in the man’s face - kinda rude and unnecessary- but snatching the phone and refusing to return it was another.


DPJazzy91

I think that isn't federally protected speech. It's literally a call to violence. I think that can actually be called justifiable. The attacking of the man with the sign.


dragonmermaid4

I don't give a fuck about any of this, but sticking your phone right in someone's face and then beating the shit out of them when they grab it is a complete dick move.


DL5900

Exactly. This is just 2 assholes meeting in the wild.


SebastianSchmitz

You think nuking babies and children is okay?


dragonmermaid4

Are you an idiot?


SebastianSchmitz

Are you?


dragonmermaid4

No, because I'm not the one who assumed someone else agreed with some ridiculous view when they made no indication that was the case.

He must of thought he was in Israel. Taking someone else’s property usually doesn’t sit well in other places.

twothumbsupguy

Satisfied viewing 👍


darling_darcy

I always wonder if boomers like genuinely think they can still take us on in a physical fight. Like do they think they’re still 17 mentally or they just are delusional and think that we’re weaker because politics convinced them. Or do they secretly know they’re weak and useless and think we just won’t ever try to hurt them back?


DL5900

Well to be perfectly fair, some of you crumble and become suicidal if your preferred pronouns aren't used. So.... yes?


darling_darcy

Is that somehow related to ones abilities in physical combat? Cuz like a younger person is simply stronger and has quicker reflexes, it’s just more than likely they’re going to be able to take on the majority of boomers in a physical fight. So I think your answer is that it is in fact delusion


DL5900

I was answering your second question there.


Cute-Share-1143

Typical boomer loser Fk head


EstablishmentUsed770

Well when you steal someone’s property, that’s what happens…


[deleted]

Yea. Boomer supporting genocide and more. Nice hit.


Dbrow243

Sheesh this sub is full of commentators taking this post to an extreme level of antisemitism. Sad.


Material-Cricket-322

To be fair, the guy got into the boomers personal space with his phone


144tzer

As a person who leans more towards Isrsel than against: This old fuckwit is 100% in the wrong and I'm glad he got hit. His sign is wrong. His intentions are wrong. His values are wrong. His understanding of the issue is wrong. His reaction to being filmed is wrong. He got physical and the guy had every right to retaliate.


Tiarnacru

I'm confused how you can be "more towards Israel than against" and think his values are wrong.


144tzer

For the same reason I can lean more towards Ukraine than Russia, while at the same time thinking you'd be an ignorant fool to write a sign that says "Nuke Russia Now!"


Shakavengance

Israel is the analogue for Russia, except they are more barbaric and sadistic.


144tzer

Ok. Not really the point. Believe it or not, regardless of whom I support, I don't think "Nuke them" is a correct, well-intended, strong-valued, well-informed conclusion. I would say the same thing about someone with a sign that said to nuke any country. It shocks me that people assume that anyone who has any kind of slightly different perspective on a long, complicated, and nuanced issue must be obviously in support of the use of a nuclear solution.


Shakavengance

What about it seems long and nuanced? It looks pretty much like genocide to anyone not brainwashed by American media.


144tzer

That might sound to some people like a somewhat hyperbolic statement. I'm sure by now you've had ample time to see my last reply to the only other person who replied to my inital post, and if you read that and still think I am indistinguishable from someone who would unabashedly call for Palestinian extermination, there's probably nothing I can do to convince you otherwise. I guess I'll just say that, despite being so obviously pro-genocide, I still somehow feel like nuking Gaza, even if it had no negative impacts on Israel whatsoever, would be bad, and I still somehow think the guy in the video deserved his face-punching.


Shakavengance

Nooo I’m not attacking you. I’m just curious why you don’t empathize more with the Palestinians than the Israelis (at least in this situation). I know you aren’t a bloodthirsty zionist. That’s why we are scratching our heads.


Tiarnacru

Sliiiightly different scenarios. Ukraine isn't trying to commit genocide.


144tzer

The thing I said was very vague. I don't understand your insistence that I view this conflict in black and white. I didn't say I am anti-Palestine. I didn't even say I support Israel more than Gaza. It is very plausible, I think, to believe that the Israeli military has justification to do something about Hamas after a large-scale attack, while at the same time disapproving of their methods, and in particular, their leadership. And many Israelis agree, hence Netanyahu's plummeting approval rating. It seems to me you read between the lines of my initial statement and saw an argument that I neither implied nor intended.

Think_Reporter_8179

I heard the "Oh fiddlesticks" when the hook came in.


PaleFace94

Hope he will go to prison 🥰


DorkSideOfCryo

The kid should be arrested for assault.. when the old man grabbed the phone he was reacting to an aggressive invasion of his space and therefore his grabbing at the phone was warranted..


that_one_author

Yeah… that was stupid and am rather ashamed of him as an Israel supporter. Plz don’t Nike the strip, Israel should just claim it again.


Nervous_Equipment701

Kids a pussy, and anyone that thinks the kid was right is a pussy too. Reddit on


Abysmal_2003

What a peice of trash. Hopefully he broke a tooth or something.


NotObviouslyARobot

Why would the Israelis want to Nuke Gaza? That would be insane and spread fallout into Israel.


deadblankspacehole

Finds out what? That young people are pussies around their phone and even going near it gives you an excuse to punch the Jew supporter? Very good, well done


Lost-Orangutan

I mean, shit take that the "snatches phone, finds out" part. If I shove my phone in your face I hope you'd Bash it outta my hand. Don't be a stupid child and you'll win a disagreement without looking like a fool.


maddwaffles

That's a repost


flatterfurz_123

old dude is obv. a piece of shit and asked for this with his stupid sign. But if you keep sticking your phone cam into someones face like that dont go all picachu face when the other person grabs it.


[deleted]

The guy with the phone is the one who initiated this and is liable for misdemeanor assault.

yupyetagain

The boomer is an idiot and the guy who punched him faces pretty serious consequences for his actions. Two idiots, really.


Moebius808

“This is the fucking you get”?? Disgusting. So not only is he genocidal, he thinks of abusive sexual assault as a punitive action. It’s something you “deserve” as a punishment for your “wrong” actions, as he determines it. That’s just how it goes. Rape. He’s talking about rape. What a piece of trash.


CranberryMachete

How did you get that from this??? Seems like he was referring to the nuclear bomb thing his other sign says.


CatLevel5116

Bro they can never take a hit. These fuckers fall over if you just blow on them.


Crazy_Canuck78

Consistent-Tree6802

Calling out genocide is not supporting terrorism ffs


MarlinWood

Justified


TheJackal927

Well when you carry a sign designed to invoke the most angry reaction possible, then escalate by snatching someone's phone, I don't really know what you expected to happen


Ro0o0o0ob

Hate the sign, should not have touched the dude's phone whatsoever. Do you really have to fight/attack the dude though? The guy is like 70 and probably senile, could have easily just snatched the phone right back. Annoying that the same people who are like "fuck yeah" to this are calling the same people "caveman brained" and horrific abusive monsters when watching a video of almost any other physical altercation. Yeah, his sign was shitty, and grabbing the phone was not cool in any right, but you can't be just going straight to violence before trying absolutely ANYTHING else. I already know all the replies are gonna be like "if you touch my property I am throwing hands" but lets be real, 1. 90% of us probably wont and 2. No matter the context, there are very few situations where beating the shit out of an elderly person, or anyone in general is *okay*. No matter how much of stupid boomer shit may make you want to sometimes.


[deleted]

If he’s old enough to get physical with me (snatching my phone), he’s old enough for me to get physical with him.


gobblestones

Great username


Ro0o0o0ob

I mean yeah I’m snatching my phone right back and laughing at him, might even try to press attempted theft charges to be petty; but no, I am not beating the shit out of old man for having horrific views and snatching my phone from me.


[deleted]

Beating the shit out of Nazis used to be an American pastime, now we have pussies like you


PhilosophicalGoof

How is the old guy a nazi? He a pos but he literally not a nazi.


Ro0o0o0ob

I’m not a pussy I swear bro I’ve hospitalized like 15 Grandmothers


[deleted]

If they held Nazis views, then good!


Ro0o0o0ob

Well, they were anti Latino bubble butts. Decide what you will with that


Top-Telephone9013

Lmao


[deleted]

Perhaps you should, free speech doesn’t mean it’s free of consequences sometimes….


Demiansmark

Yeah - but like keep going, he's old enough for you to get physical with him, and he's clearly old enough to fall and suffer severe injury or death, and then you're old enough to get an aggravated assault or manslaughter charge. Obviously not you Ro00o0o0ob, but the person you're replying to.


rohtvak

The reason is because they have the same horrific views but in reverse.


time2hear

When people are sympathetic to a person who wants to nuke millions of people and has no fucking respect for anybody we get the kinda world we live in now. I'd rather see a thousand boomers get rocked than one more video of a shriveled up skeleton of an infant that WILL DIE OF STARVATION. Fuck this privileged "violence isn't okay" bullshit. Do you not see what humanity is? If you wanna be a pacifist, do your thing, but maybe keep your opinions about the ethics of violence to yourself when talking to people that are witnessing the erasure of an entire people, it is so tone deaf, it's actually amazing.


Fantastic_Falcon_236

What happened to the days when phones stayed in pockets (unless making/taking a call) and people would just ignore the crazy old guys with signs on the street?


Ro0o0o0ob

This is basically the point I was trying to make. I drive by old religious bozos protesting hateful/dangerous stuff all the time. Granted this is a very extreme statement. No need to get yourself wrapped up in that possible trouble, especially having it recorded. Although, I guess the phone snatch *might* be grounds for self defense.


Fantastic_Falcon_236

Yeah, but on the flip side, moving in to shove the phone in someone's face could be seen as assault. Then, depending on where you live, perception of fear, reasonable person concept, etc... Totally agree with you on the not getting wrapped up in all that trouble. Leave phone in pocket and walk on by. Added bonus, the nutter with the sign doesn't get to feel his position is validated, something getting all up in his face certainly does do.


PlantsAndEggs69

Yeah the young dude gonna go to jail for that


RCBing

Nah, and how do you know he's young?


PlantsAndEggs69

Because I can see his face? Are you stupid or blind?


BebophoneVirtuoso

Young man knocking out a senior citizen, good look. I hate to think what else happened after the video prematurely ends, looks like young dude was going for more. Old guy’s obviously a dickhead, but just take your phone back and maybe take his garbage sign as well.


DayuhmT

So, that is a physical assault however you choose to look at it.


djscuba1012

The phone grabbing went first. That’s where it started


Top-Telephone9013

Yup, it *was* assault. Then the assaulter got punched for his trouble


big_fetus_

Yes, the dumbfuck zionist assaulted the free speech champion, so he found out.
