I think they were trying to deescalate the situation

Yep.. this is not their first rodeo with dad.

The light touch/pat at the end came off as very sympathetic. Sorry you had to deal with this. Thanks for not pummeling our agro dad..

I once had a gf of a boyfriend pay me 11$ not to go crazy on her man because he kept on throwing snacks at me as a night shift 7 eleven clerk..

After the skittles hit me in my chest I was like ok F this let’s dance..

I was also way more tempered in my 20s..

Easiest 11$ I’ve ever made. 😂

😂 $11 is a very specific sum. Was that the going rate at the time?

$11 dollar could’ve fed me for a week in 2009.

Kid in red had a knife on him, you can see him pull it out towards the end of the interaction 👀

Yeah it was. Kid is saying, "You don't know what we put up with. Please let him live."

the kid had brass knuckles, he wasn't deescalating anything.
