Pavement rage.... WTF is happening to the world?

[Deleted member 40597]

My Dad sent me a link to this via the book of farce. Several thoughts cross my mind, but without seeing the events which led up to this altercation, I cannot decide which party has behaved the worst. Opinions?

Video contains some language.

Dangerous driving.

Common assault.

Criminal damage.

They're both twots.

On the plus side, the old boy made a miraculous recovery and was suddenly fit and healthy enough to willfully engage in combat, so it's not all bad.

I wonder how much in disability benefits the scooter rider is claiming.

Looks fit as a fiddle to me.

Nice play on words.

I to was thinking how remarkably fit that old boy looked considering he needs a scooter (or not) as the case may be.

Scooter rider may not be claiming any disability benefits, so lets drop that ball of speculation eh?

 

[Pale Rider]

Nice play on words.

Thanks, although I didn't notice until after I posted.

Looks like scooter boy is the aggressor, other chap is just fending him off. But then we don’t know what happened before to start it.

It made me laugh but it’s pretty pathetic really. Are these guys supposed to be adults?

 

[Accy cyclist]

It's hard to tell because we can't see the lead up to the aggression. The bloke on the scooter does seem to be quite agile though.

 

[Vantage]

Disabilities aren't always on or off. Some people can walk 50 yards before their legs give up and we have the issue that adrenaline can give a little more energy to people.
Maybe we leave the bs health assessments to the ESA and PIP officers?

That's hilarious!

 

[Drago]

He's well enough to willfully engage in combat despite the impact factors of a younger and larger opponent. Any disability he may or may not have is, at that moment in time, not of sufficient significance to the chap that it features on his own calculations of the Conflict Resolution Model.

Let's leave the bs assessments of fitness for combat to those qualified to do so please? The old feller was well up for it, and well capable of it, period. The guy is having a giraffe.

The mobility scooter doesn't mean the guy has a disability... it means he has a mobility scooter. The companies who sell mobility scooters don't just sell them to people with disabilities, they sell them to anyone who'll buy one, often using mischievously pressured sales techniques... so please, adults... stop speculating on disabilities

If the question is which party has behaved the worst then on that evidence I would say the bloke filming. He appears to not be directly involved so doesn't have the (admittedly poor) excuse of perceived injustice, anger and adrenaline but just seems to be goading the others into a fight.
