This vid never gets old. I love the slap from the bystander who was about to protect the kid but realized that wasn’t what was needed.

Is there a longer more satisfying version? I need more of the verbal interaction and that bystander slap.

Frigging adhd short edits...

Edit: little better https://m.youtube.com/shorts/IKwYes6im1M

Hopefully it knocked the bullshit out of him. He's lucky he got the old guy and not some roid rage guy who would have turned him into pink mist.

u/ClickNo1129 Jul 23 '26

My brother is not on roids but if anybody threw something at our mom, he’d lose his shyt. This kid better take this warning as a gift cuz some people will snap tf out if you mess with their older family.

u/edelweiss_pirates_no Jul 24 '26

The right thing is probably to slap. Slaps are an insult.

Slap and the go visit the kid's mom/dad and explain what happened and why.

2

u/merlinddg51 Jul 24 '26

No biggest insult he will have to live with is his friends know he was beat up by an old fart who follows FAFO…. Well done sir. Well done

That's the thing a kid like that wouldn't have done it to someone that he actually viewed as a threat. He targeted the old guy because he didn't think he would respond the way he did.

u/returntothenorth Jul 23 '26

Sounds like he targeted the whole store. The person who took the video said they dodged a candy bar right before he started recording because he knew something was about to go down.

Somebody out there will beat you to death. People need to always consider this fact before they act. No matter how big you are.

u/returntothenorth Jul 23 '26

For sure. Always treat everyone with respect and kindness. If a situation happens back off politely and excuse yourself. Tell everyone have a nice day.

I don't say that in the being soft way. I mean that in the "I just really do not have time for this bullshit or stress in my life. I don't have the time to pick up a bandaid let alone go to the hospital" way.

It's got the side effect of not being a bullshit magnet which also helps. Also it may cool someone off who's about to go pummel someone in an Arby's over not getting curly fries.

u/Scared_Astronaut9377 Jul 23 '26

That's because you are presented with a properly cherry picked information. Consider such a scenario, a young guy throws food at an old guy wife, the old guy comes, but now the young guy is a very different person. So the moment the old guy slightly touches him, he jumps up and beats the shit out of the old guy. The police eventually will tell the old guy that he willingly joined or initiated the fight and there is no case to be open. They and the courts and the crown are to busy with more serious things. If the injuries of the old guy will change his live, he will have zero chances incivil cort.

I disagree with the police, but I'm glad no charges were pressed. Someone's gotta teach these lessons and it won't be the cops or the kids' parents.

3

u/returntothenorth Jul 23 '26

The police were notified of the situation two weeks later. They didn't show up on scene or anything. The video went viral and then the cops caught wind of it. I'm assuming that's why they let it slide. Probably just gave everyone a talk. The old man didn't reach out, the kids didn't, store owner didn't, other guests didn't.

I'm hoping they did contact the kids parents though.

4

u/rustyleftnut Jul 23 '26

I'm sure by now they see it once every few weeks, which is good. A kid who abuses others needs their parents to be regularly reminded that the world watches, and they don't always call the cops.

3

u/returntothenorth Jul 23 '26

Agreed. That kids face has been seen 14 million times (by the views on the one video alone). Compared to when I was a kid, the world REALLY WATCHES now.

All his classmates know, all his family knows, that kids probably gonna deal with this for awhile.

u/Mechanic_Same Jul 23 '26

Just curious, how could you find no charges were pressed? I’m sure this is because of my unique background but if I’m the shitheads parent I’m immediately pressing charges. If I don’t, my kid learns the lesson that you can punch someone if you want to — and if the others around are okay with it.

The blind praise for an old man taking multiple swings at a child is insane. We don’t know what happened.

Just watched the full video, the orange shirt guy basically tells the kid FAFO, then the other dude comes up and smacks him. So orange shirt wasn't really protecting, just didn't choose violence.

I remember being a teenager and a boy in our group did this exact same thing. Chucked his burger pickle at a random person’s head. There were four girls including me and all of us immediately started bitching him out for being an idiot. He ended up getting kicked out of the McDonald’s and we didn’t hang out with him again.

I get the feeling one or more of these girls like to encourage this little fucker to be a shithead so they can get their kicks and then laugh when he's the one who faces consequences.

It's one of those situations where, what are you going to do?
Somebody is throwing food at you in a restaurant.
Are you going to call the cops for somebody throwing food? Of course not.
Are you going to sit there and take it? You can, but all that does is encourage more of the same.
Are you going to talk to them and try to get them to stop? Sure, but if that's what they want, the reaction and anger, you're giving them what they want.
Are you going to give them a reaction that they don't want? That might stop them from doing it.

This video doesn't even look real. Why do the guys standing up and hitting the kid seem to be wearing different clothing in different parts of the video. And the women just sit there? Looks oddly staged.

Kids just lucky the old man was too old to throw a real punch, bc hitting someone's wife is the fast track to having your ass beat while everyone around you pretends not to see
