So, I know the post I linked calls him a robber, but from what I've read the confrontation was over the clerk taking back some item from his girlfriend's daughter after her EBT card was declined. You can also see Simon close the cash register in the video, he didn't have a weapon, and it just generally doesn't seem like his intent was to rob him and the clerk himself said that what Simon wanted was an apology, not that I agree with his method of getting one.
I definitely understand the fear here. He doesn't know the guy who's yelling at him or his intentions, and he's being rough. And as others here have said, if you choose to respond to that aggression with force like the clerk here did, it's difficult to control where it ends. I guess I just feel like the clerk shouldn't have escalated it further; give the guy what he wants and be done with it.
I'm empathetic to the clerk though and I don't think he should do 25 years or whatever for murder over this.
I mean I agree it's definitely fucked up to harass an older person just doing their job like that, but like, going straight to knife in the neck over it? Just feels bad to me. I'm not much of a fighter though and I've never really been in a situation like that.
Thank you friend
I kinda wish there was more tv like that honestly. So much of the stuff I watch these days just can't ever let its characters have a happy ending
Black mirror kinda filled me with dread when I watched it, but I did really like that one episode with the two lesbians who got to live together in virtual reality forever, which seemed like the opposite of dystopia to me. I'd love to be able to live with my loved ones forever in a constructed reality lol
Slay the Spire is a lot of fun
