“In the latest incident, police said 66-year-old Ken Proctor was using a hose to water the front lawn of his suburban Sydney home when a man walking past made a remark about water waste.
Proctor then turned the hose on the passer by, prompting a fight. He was knocked the ground and was punched and kicked. He was treated by ambulance officers, but died later in hospital.”
Sorry, squirt me with a hose while I’m walking on a sidewalk (regardless of what smart-ass comment I may have made) I’d smash you in the mouth too. Just because you're old doesn't give you the right attack others without expecting retaliation, don't let your mouth (or hose) write a check your ass can't cash.
While I agree with your stance on this, I can’t see that turning the hose on the guy warranted a killin’.
That’s an anger management issue.
