    love the way the pussies all ran out and recorded him outside with their phones.
    go to love this generation.............. anyone ask him did he need a hand?

    Why are they pussies? Were they supposed to challenge him to a duel or something?

    You sir have offendeth my gentlemanly sensibilities for the last time!

    a man who cannot backup his laptop is no man at all and i challenge you forthwith so that the good people of this coffeeshop can go on about their daily business unhindered by your weakness in giving in to your basest of instincts

    now prepare yourself for there is not a moment to lose...we duel at 11:15 precisely this morn as i have a pressing engagement at the multi-storey car park at noon...choose a reliable second to oversee your preparations and to step in should you be unable to take part by means of infirmity, if no second is forthcoming I shall slay you where you stand having no choice but to presume you the utmost of cads if none will second you

    Poor guy. I think the imminent presentation must have been very stress inducing and the laptop acting up just broke him. Who knows what else was going wrong in his life.

    He made a reference to a message from his mother being on the laptop. Maybe he's been recently bereaved and is very vulnerable to stress.

    I'd like to think I'd have asked him if he needed help, or for me to call someone for him, but who knows how I'd react if I was actually there. Obviously people felt insecure enough to leave.

    I don't think much of someone who's first instinct is to film someone at a low point.

    As for it being fake, I don't think many people would go so far as to get themselves arrested.

    I agree. Could it be just a case of the gun culture in the states. Afraid the man was unstable and might try and kill himself or others. Sad really.
    I like to think if it happened to someone here in Ireland people would be a lot quicker to help.

    I know, it's bizarre. The guy is wound up, and tbh, at first appearance he didn't seem the violent type. The two guys beside him were in a position to calm him down without putting themselves in too much danger (bigger than him physically, and there were 2 of them) but they shagged off outside. This video is as aggravating as those videos where no one steps in to help in a mugging etc.!

    The Human mind just wan't made to deal with the BS of the modern world. Catching food, riding and solving survival problems is all we can deal with. feel bad for the man. He looks like he has just switched off and snapped.

    Or more importantly, did he ever finish his novel?

    Not stepping in is part conditioning, part selfishness (necessary selfishness imo) and part good sense imo

    If I had kids/teenagers I'd be telling them not to get involved in a mugging hoping that it would stay with them in later life etc....you just dont know if the attacker/s will turn on the intervener, produce a syringe, screwdriver, blade or even gun (esp relevant here as this was in the states)...I'd be telling them call the authorities who should (in theory at least) be more trained/prepared and better able to deal with situations like this...I see the other side also though as in if they or I was being attacked I would like to think that someone would step in etc

    what do you stand to gain stepping in to calm down a possibly insane possibly violent probably unpredictable person, maybe its your personality and it would feel good because its the right thing to do (or is it? - maybe you would make the situation worse) you could stand to lose a hell of a lot.....brain function, an eye, use of some or all of your limbs, your life etc

    if I seen someone being mugged, I like to think I would help but the stakes are just so high nowadays with proper law and order not being enforced and scumbags etc with no sense of decency or honour that dont know where to draw the line or are possibly out of their heads on drugs (you might say I'm being sensationalist but you cant deny the fact it is a possibility and something to consider).....it could be the last thing you do, i certainly would not be responsible for encouraging other people to do it.

    In any event here the guy hasn't attacked anyone ... as he stands only to harm himself as things developed then there is even less incentive for people to step in......also most peoples reaction to crazy is to distance themselves from it, crazy just isn't something most people want to be around...its the unpredictability of it

    deciding to videotape and laugh about it...well thats another story, not very pleasant or edifying
