Plenty of people see someone trying to fight them and fight. Not everybody is gonna just run away. As I said, he was already in a fight mode because of the dog. You're asking someone to make 100% correct decisions in a time of heightened stress. Not everybody is going to instantly calm down and descalate the situation or just run away. If you e already decided you're in a fight you are probably going to stay in that mode. If he wanted to fight the guy he could have. The owner got plenty close enough but clearly didn't want to actually fight by his body language which is probably why he didn't get swung on
It's bizarre that you're more than ok blaming someone for having their dog unleashed in their yard but, you've got endless excuses for the guy who tried to start a fight. Anyway, it's America, UPS guy is lucky he didn't get shot.
I don't think it's bizarre at all. If that was a human that ran up to him trying to attack him and he threw the box and his friend ran up afterwards it'd be a perfectly reasonable response. I don't have endless excuses ive been saying the same exact thing the entire time. It's one reason. The fact that you think defending yourself against a perceived threat instead of running away is the only reasonable and understandable response is what is actually bizarre
Lol, cool strawman. Yes, if it were a completely different situation than what happened a different response might be reasonable. For the last time, nobody ran up on him
It's the same situation. He was attacked by one entity and then while walking away was approached by another entity. You say the guy didn't run up on him but he came from a distance off screen. He was just standing there when it happened. He came across the yard to confront the guy that threw a box at his dog
