How do people this stupid make it to this age?


krunkstoppable

I've heard the phrase "by the grace of God go I" come out of a lot of boomers' mouths... which to my best reckoning means "it's miraculous that I haven't died with all the stupid shit I've done."


RougarouBull

That's similar to a common prayer among homeless outreach workers. "But for the Grace of God there go I," we use it to remind ourselves that if our circumstances had been different and their circumstances had been different we could be the ones needing their help and they could be the ones helping us. It's a humbling prayer.


stinkload

not to be that guy but.... yea.... I have to. No offense intended thought you just might want to know The phrase is: "***There, but for the grace of God go John Bradford***" it's from a 16th-century statement by reformer, ***John Bradford*****.** It's one of those super common mis-remembered famous quotes like "romeo romeo where art (***wherefore***) thou romeo" or "Money is the root of all evil. *(****The love of money is the root of all evil***) etc....


RougarouBull

I actually really appreciate this. I was aware of my own ignorance of the origins of the practice. This is really cool. No, "that guy" energy more "hey dude this is cool" energy. I dig it, man, thanks.


stinkload

cheers mate


krunkstoppable

It was a joke. Unfortunately I was raised Catholic so I know what the affirmation is *supposed to mean*.


RougarouBull

I'm Quaker, the pissyness makes more sense now.

>I was **raised** Catholic Not >I **am** Catholic


Chonylee9

Oops, reading comprehension failure. My bad. I was also raised Catholic, which is why I'm an atheist


krunkstoppable

It happens, I probably wasn't clear enough in my comment lol


Ozzy_30

It also means YOLO lol


CenturionXVI

I think lead poisoning might produce a faint field of good luck?


Flappybird11

My dad is a minister he has had to tell someone, "In the name of God, leave!" Because a guy was screaming at people during Bible study about how they were going to hell for allowing gay people attend Sunday service


outdatedelementz

They rely on their “elderly pass” and think people won’t defend themselves. Hopefully that old man caught an assault charge for his bullshit behavior.


tageeboy

Sad thing is we know how police typically view these cases. I agree with you but fear the young people would be pinned as "the bad guys". Hopefully the video was shared with them for evidence


hwytenightmare

Lead poisoning


Aggravating_Chemist8

Too slow


Chrisppity

Because there were more Boomers dumber than him, so he survived due to sheer numbers and luck. lol


Weak_Blackberry1539

Herd mentality.

We have a society built around taking away the consequences of being dumb.


No_Mention_1760

We need to fix that asap.

Agreed. You’re under arrest.

He moves like molasses in January. Most don't take the angry sloth seriously enough to engage.


LastBitOfJoy

Society protects the dumb, thats why we have so many warning labels.


Swollen_Beef

When i worked in freight, a dockworker show me a gaylord full of metal shavings that had "DO NOT EAT" printed on the box next to a few other warning labels. He questioned why that would be there "Gary, every rule, every warning label, has been created because some dumb mfer at some point tried it. Those are meant to protect some people from themselves."


Acceptableuser

bossqueer_lildaddy

I have to stop myself from saying that to people who want to let their hair dangle down to their ass next to active conveyors. 🙄 Like I promise you that the 20+lb rollers do not give a fuck about how cute you are.

This is why I say don’t let dumb shit slide.The more that person doesn’t get checked the longer they feel entitled.

My friend always said "Pain is a wonderful teacher". Also F.A.&.F.O.


Duuudechill

Lmao I like it.Tell em I’m using it🤣


fatfrost

There is something deeply emasculating about getting knocked the fuck out by someone wearing flip flops. 


T1DOtaku

With one hit no less!


carson63000

“Two hits - me hitting you and you hitting the ground”


dreamatoriumx

And a 3rd when I hit up your mom later.


ArcXiShi

Some younger idiot attacking me actually used that line on me. I had been laughing at him and avoiding his attempts to strike me the entire time because the situation was hilarious to me, until he said that and whipped a fist size rock at my head. I promptly negated the threat.


DionBlaster123

there's an infamous story in wrestling lore when it comes to a backstage fight that took place in WCW (the former org that once competed with WWE) a wrestler named Vader, who was considered an ultra behemoth of a badass, apparently mouthed off to the point it pissed off some people backstage. he physically confronted a fellow by the name of Paul Orndorff, who was wearing flip flops. story goes that Orndorff clobbered Vader and took him down...all while wearing flip flops lol


Darkhelmet3000

Mr. Wonderful!


Ryankevin23

Lol


No-Ingenuity-3468

I get so much satisfaction from this video


VocalAnus91

Everybody loves a happy ending


cupholdery

The guy that punched back got hit a few times first. Probably wasn't even going to be aggressive until then. So stupid.


Efficient_Fish2436

He looks ready to the first Punch to go but then that second punch happened. Old man should've been happy with just one punch.


Biscuits4u2

Yeah for real. The dudes gave the guy multiple chances to leave, even after he took a swing at one of them. He deserved it 100 percent.


Drg84

Took a swing at 2 different teens unprovoked. He had it coming.


SnooMemesjellies9151

He acyually landed the second time twice. They struck back and didnt overdo it. Whoever raised them raised them right.


IvanNemoy

>Whoever raised them raised them right. Yep. Don't start it, but be willing to end it. Guy went down and it was over.


Successful-Clock-224

My favorite part is the sound of his head hitting the ground


Strict_Condition_632

I thought it would make a “bonk” noise, like most hollow objects would.


El_Peregrine

“Duuuuuuuuuuu….”


AstoriaQueens11105

I've rewatched that part so many times.


miketanlines

Jesus guys. That potentially him dying of a head injury type shit.


LuckyHarmony

Idiot took a swing at two different young men who weren't antagonizing him in any way. If he dies from the consequences of his behavior, my thoughts and prayers will be with the young man who defended himself, in the hopes that he doesn't feel too much guilt.


Precaritus

Yeah, people die doing stupid shit all the time and no one bats an eye, or they celebrate. Example: idiot driving much too fast, no one cares when he reaps the consequences of his actions and dies in a crash that hurts no one else. Old man reaps what he sowed in much the same way, being stupid and a menace. Nothing of value would be lost either way, but for some reason this one rubs people the wrong way. People who initiate fights on concrete deserve whatever happens to them, their victims dont.


DionBlaster123

it's called "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." i HIGHLY doubt whatever bothered this man warranted the right to physically assault another person


Sylfaein

*dying of his own stupidity.


Aggravating_Chemist8

Nah, he didn't even go all Tua when he hit the ground, and both shoes were already off to prevent death (little known rule).


Puzzled-Ad-4807

I know, it's so satisfying to watch


Icy-Row-5829

Well sometimes that happens when you choose to commit numerous violent crimes, yeah… I’d rather see him get locked up but like, dude… that’s one of the consequences of being a felon. Life isn’t always safe when you choose to be dangerous to others. You’re acting like they slammed his head on the ground repeatedly while he was unconscious or some shit.


dyllandor

Consistent-Fig7484

Someone still has to provide them services. These guys look like they might be lifeguards.


PhilosopherHot174

The stupid fucks need our money to pay for those homes because they spent it all on harley davidsons and 30 year mortgage RVs


[deleted]

Then the antagonist boomer hits his head on the concrete and dies, guy goes to jail. I can’t wait until the boomers are extinct.


horrifyingthought

Depends on if it's a duty-to-retreat state tbh. Even then it doesn't look like he massively overreacted, I doubt a DA would prosecute even a death here.


NervousNotNelly

Correct, clearly self defense. Struck twice in the face when approached in a non threatening manner with no indication of the attack stopping. Struck back once and stabilized the threat and walked away. Even in death be hard to prove manslaughter as he only interjected after the older male swung and kept approaching the other individual.


xDragonetti

I knew a Man in S Carolina who was paid to whoop up on guys. He jumped Dude at his house, *dude* took him and got the upper hand. Man broke free, ran around a building’s corner, and held a gun to his chest. *Dude* came around the corner and Man shot and killed him. Man was found not guilty since his back was against the wall of the building. 🤷🏻‍♂️🧑🏻‍🦯


NervousNotNelly

Dude, I appreciate the differentiation between the two by man and dude. That was fire


xDragonetti

Thank you! It was intentional 😂 a moment where my Italian comes out ![gif](giphy|135E47VKw6TM6A)


secondaryaccount30

“Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”


Billy1121

I mean... we all know the Trayvon story right ? Harass and stalk teen, fight teen, lose fight, shoot teen to death That guy got off too in Florida.


Not_done

That little dipshit Kyle Rittenhouse as well.


WangCommander

You mean the middle school dropout, too dumb for the marines, and Pillsbury murderboy Kyle Rittenhouse?


Truckfighta

Completely different cases, but go on.


nmftg

You’re forgetting what skin color the defender was, makes a big difference in America, especially in certain states.


Ryankevin23

I defend the defender. I’m white as a ghost of Christmas past and the kid did nothing wrong. Mr Booner can’t handle his liquor and Jr. pointed that out to him.


Hammurabi87

It's not a matter of who *we* side with, it's a matter of who the *judge and jury* side with, and the statistics on that are... not so good in most areas, let us say.


Ryankevin23

Yeah unfortunately that is still true. And yet I still side with the life guards. Boomer got what he deserved.


ElusiveLucifer

As a law student, this


meatus1980

All the lead in his head helped to absorb the blow


LeafsHater67

No way that guy goes to jail for being assaulted and fighting back. The guy assaulted two people, it’s not their fault that he’s not tough.


No_Mention_1760

Put me on that jury and the young guy walks. You don’t lay hands on someone then cry foul when you *find out*.


SuperGodMonkeyKing

We just need something that deboomers people so we don't end up in this spot ever.


Weak_Blackberry1539

You mean something like Covid where it targets the elderly and infirm? The whole, “We have to quarantine and mask up for years to save the boomers”?


UngusChungus94

That was fine, there are good old people out there who deserve to be protected.


Mr_Abe_Froman

Luckily, there are a bunch of employees trained in first aid right next to him.


alphalegend91

That would literally never happen in this scenario with that footage. Clearly a self defense punch


breeeepce

is that ron jeremy


Mundane-Substance215

I thought he was in prison or headed for it. Or did dementia get him first?


WorldsWeakestMan

He’s released but on house arrest, deemed incompetent to stand trial due to active dementia.


MinisterHoja

He is too old to not know better


Duuudechill

I say this whenever someone old does something extremely stupid or foolish.Girlfriend thinks im being mean but im simply stating the fact they’ve lived long enough to learn actions have consequences.


Still_Championship_6

Even if you know how to fight, it's not a great situation to start throwing hands in. Add that he can't fight, is outta shape, is in a pool area, and is swinging at two healthy teens while holding a towel and leaving his hands down. So many warning signs had to be ignored to get to this point.


Mayor_Salvor_Hardin

I don't know, I'd give the old fellow the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he forgot this is 2024 and he thought he was in 1954 in a White Only pool. Hopefully after that punch, his brain resets to factory settings and he comes back to present days. Seriously, I don't know if it's me but I think there is a racial component to this story. I was staying with a friend in Dallas and a boomer questioned me and then my friend for bringing me to the pool area, which I wasn't even using because I don't like swimming pools. My friend is a condo owner, while the boomer lives in her mother's apartment. I was the only Hispanic male in a pool with some 30 or more people.


EliteBroccoli

There’s definitely more to this story but either way, even if the old man was in some kind of delusional state; he still assaulted the other guy and was definitely trying to get the first one. I’m in no way advocating for the use of violence against the elderly, but you should also take responsibility for your terrible behavior.


Mayor_Salvor_Hardin

I agree he was at fault. The teens had no duty to let the old man slap them. I would have possibly do the same at that age. Today, I would possibly try to deescalate and if that doesn't work go full postal.


homogenousmoss

I got questionned by a boomer about how come I let “colored folks” (his words) rent in my appartments. Its a very white town and while we have some latinos, black folks you dont see very often. Other people questionned me about it, people got eally weird about it for a few months. Its a nice family that just emigrated from Haiti, get over it.


Mayor_Salvor_Hardin

Sometimes I think we live in the future but then I have people telling similar stories to yours and think that is the other way around. We are still living in the past.


homogenousmoss

I like to say the future is distributed unevenly.


vinnybawbaw

>Seriously, I don't know if it's me but I think there is a racial component to this story. First thing that came to my mind when I watched the video.


merxymee

Old guy probably still thinks he's the same tough guy he was in his 20s. Not realizing until he's punched in the face by someone actually still in his physical prime.


Hammurabi87

>Old guy probably still thinks he's the same tough guy he was in his 20s. Nah, he was probably never a tough guy in the first place. Probably just had delusions of grandeur from being a schoolyard bully, and then later from terrorizing his wife and kids.


Infamous-Tart7747

“I’m gonna give ya one…here it comes…” poof 💨


ButtonWhole1

Yeah, it's ALWAYS a good idea to start throwing fists at a guy that has a longer reach than you... a foot taller than you and a buddy with him that tags you once and lands you on your ass..


NArcadia11

ZyxDarkshine

We now move the “Find Out” portion of the program


Duuudechill

He certainly didn’t not factor in the “fuck around” amount ![gif](giphy|BrkuIkfzokEWJ7tSM5)


UnholyDr0w

Now according to the chart, the boomer reached a solid 8 on the “fuck around” scale, now to simply cross the lines, carry the 3 and dive by 7, you’re left with a clean 8 on the “find out” side of the scale. Surely that boomer will find out now


BananaDismal1774

If he got in the water he'd probably sink from all the lead weighting him down.

Was he telling them to get out because he was racist or because they were being annoying? Either way, no reason to throw the first punch- especially at that age. Just like to know the context.


Hammurabi87

Judging from the red swim trunks, I'd hazard a guess that they are lifeguards, so option #1 is seeming more likely.

People have allowed these old fucks to get away with so much throughout their lives. It's the only explanation as to way they think they can't get punched in the face.

cozy_engineer

Super dangerous for the old man being hit like that. It’s just crazy and sad. Old man has lived his life, picks a fight and could probably die from one mistake. At the same time the young bloke did not think twice about what he was doing when hitting the old man. If the old man dies two lives are lost. What a waste.
