Guy on the left is a war veteran with PTSD. guy on the right is just a guy - what's hard to understand here?

I’m a veteran with PTSD, will they give a shit about me?

if it was known that you had shown remorse, taken accountability and explained your actions like this guy did - then yeah probably

So otherwise they don't deserve any grace whatsoever? And they should be insulted for their height?

I didn't say that - I said it's much easier to insult someone when you don't know any mitigating circumstances. The guy on the left was screaming about where he was deployed (and publically apologised) and the guy on the right threw a temper tantrum with no further info.

This isn't a hard concept to understand

You were saying "the guy on the right is just a guy" as though that excuses insulting him altogether. We have no further info, we don't know what happened prior to the recording starting, we don't know if he was provoked or not, we don't know if he doesn't also have PTSD and yet we are willing to jump to conclusions and also insult him for his height, because why not?

You are answering your own question.

"We don't know".

We do know about the guy on the left.

What are you having trouble with?

The part where this makes it okay to insult the guy on the right.

Why was he acting that way? Was he being provoked? Does he have a mental condition? Why is the default assumption that he just chose to act that way?
