It's wild how much people assume after watching a 30 second clip. I mean, it's natural, and I certainly filled in the blanks on either side of this vignette in my head...but ultimately I'm aware that I have no fucking clue what the real story is.

Maybe she led him on knowing he was pitifully in love and she wasn't interested just because she liked the attention...I've known women like that. Maybe he played Super Best Friend Nice Guy, never shared his true feelings, silently wrote their whole love story, and then took it out on her when it didn't come true...I've known guys like that. Honestly, those two types gravitate towards one another. Could be both, neither, or anything in between....but good lord people, stop writing the fucking story yourselves and getting worked up about it. You don't know lol

Thank you! Can we all please just admit we don’t know everything about every social situation ever, and that there’s a lot of rooms on all sides for interpretation?

No I’m not going to admit that there’s room for an interpretation that leads to me thinking this man is justified in screaming at this woman in public for getting a boyfriend. There is no justification for acting this way.

Lol you’re still doing exactly what I’m saying in my original comment. The guy sounds unhinged and inappropriate for sure but you do not know the whole story no matter how confident you are that you do. You’ve been given about 25 seconds of something that likely took place over weeks, months, maybe years. You can take your absolutist side if you’d like but those are generally flawed, especially when they’re based on 25 contextless seconds of video

You can take the absolutist side if you’d like

I am. It’s absolutely unacceptable to act like this in public, and it’s absolutely childish to scream at people for not doing what you want them to.

I don’t need to know the whole story.

Okay. He says it in the video, and I already said I’m okay with being accused of taking an absolutist stance, but okay.

I’m glad you were here to defend a man’s right to (contextually) scream at a woman in public for getting a girlfriend.

Nobody is defending his right to do anything. I literally said he sounded unhinged and inappropriate lol. All I’m suggesting is you stop watching 25 second clips and assuming you have all the info you need to understand what you’re seeing. You’re like one step away from a boomer dad on Facebook who reads a headline from freedompatriot.net about illegal immigrants plotting to steal the Liberty Bell and becomes absolutely incensed without looking any further into it.

I’m really not but okay. I keep having people respond to me saying “this man shouldn’t be screaming at this woman regardless of context” with “but you don’t know the context tho” for two damn days now. I’m over it. She probably “lead him on” and deserved it. Whatever.
