He allegedly nudged the guy illegally blocking the sidewalk who responded by trying to assault an old man. Do you have a copy of the video I could not find one.
When the guy didn't move after he "nudged" him with his cart (I would bet money that it was harder than a nudge but whatever) he really couldn't just go around onto the street? No, he would have rather filmed himself fighting with someone than just be a normal person.
No, you shouldn't block a sidewalk. No, you shouldn't have to walk in the street with your dogs. Fine. But what you can do is pick your fucking battles and be the bigger person.
There's no sane reason to condone murdering another human being instead of taking a step to the right.
Sounds like the homeless guy was "assaulted" first.
You wake up to someone "nudging" you with their "cart" and expect not to be annoyed? Or, not to think they are trying to run the "cart" over you? Oh, and they have two (likely full-size) dogs with them. Would you really not go into fight-or-flight mode, really??? ... Really?
Have you noticed how most homeless folks most places are not directly obstructing the sidewalk. Instead they are of to the side, in a doorway, in a green space. Anywhere they wont directly get stepped on, woken up, or rousted. If you directly block the sidewalk you might expect to have some hassle and not react by attempting to assault people by throwing your shoes at their head.
