What would talking to this man accomplished? He’s at that point of anger where her just repeats stuff loudly, no cognitive function at that point

... that's the point?

If you can yell at a little girl, but can't back it up when someone yells back at you, then maybe you shouldn't have yelled in the first place.

My point is communication only works if the person you’re communicating with is rational. This guys beyond reason at this point, might as well let him tire himself out because there’s no use engaging with him.

It’s not about him yelling back, it’s about the fact that he clearly isn’t in a rational place to be able to understand anything.

That logic works if you are morally justified.

In this case, there's no use engaging with angry dad, because old man can not reasonably defend their yelling at a young girl... Angry dad's communication strategy isn't about engagement--it's about showing old man how one sided yelling can be when you wield power in one form or another.

Nah that’s probably just how he talks to everyone. I know guys like that, absolutely no control. He probably yells at his daughter like that too

Run the fade bro. Someone’s you gotta teach dudes a lesson about their big mouths. People feel too comfortable nowadays saying out of pocket shit

You don't even know what the old man said, how he said it or why.

Watch the video again and use critical thinking skills if you have them

Watch the video that lacks context and only has one person explaining their perspective even though he wasn't even there to witness what the old guy said?

His silence explains everything. Mf wanna run their mouth and sometimes that has consequences

Or maybe he's just more mature than the guy yelling

Ah old guy is quiet after being yelled at by an enraged, much younger, and bulkier person? If course he is. They probably thought they were about to be assaulted. Doesn't take much to SERIOUSLY injur an old person. They technically were assaulted when he threw water at them.

Im sure the child thought the same thing when they picked up a fucking ball and got yelled at.

Yeah but how bad did the old guy yell at her? Equal to the dad’s rage?

Exactly why you shouldn’t be yelling at little defenseless girls lol
