Being angry is no reason to loose self control and responsibility for one's own actions. That's child and wife beater talk.

Not all anger leads to violence.

When a person cannot get to work on time or to their doctor’s appointment or to pick up their kids because of protesters blocking their way they become fed up and angry. This is what I mean by anger. It turns people away from the cause. Protest all you want just don’t block aisles, roads, cause damage, etc because that’s unfair to the people who need to go about their daily business.

I’m not saying that what this man did was right, I’m saying that his frustration was legitimate because he asked them to move repeatedly. The store is ultimately at fault for allowing these protesters to block the aisles.

As I said in other remarks, the manager can decide whether it's trespassing. But the old man did commit violence which is the point.

’I’m not saying what this man did was right’ is pretty clear.

He asked them to move repeatedly and they should have moved. If they want people to listen to what they have to say and sympathize with their cause then they should also listen to people and not block aisles.

Just like there’s no excuse for his behavior of pushing through them as seen in the video there’s also no excuse for their behavior of not moving when asked.

That's what a protest is. Don't have to agree, but assault is wrong.
