No excuses he's just an A_shole!
He wouldn't have boarded my boat!

Interesting variety of opinions here.

Did you watch the video? Him screaming and begging please please. That’s soft. I’d never let another grown man do that to me, I don’t care if I got my arse beat, but I’d never go out like that.

A saltwater gaff would have calmed down the douchebag criminal screaming about being a Ranger.

Kiki tough.

Another acronym for tough guy - douche.

I can hear it now anytime someone is having an argument on the water. Something like "Bro, Don't be a Brock". For months to come and maybe years.

Already lots of great memes at his expense that will be floating around the web forever.

So the original incident was not on that same day. This says it was two days prior.

Yup and he was talking all that trash about being a Ranger and etc, turns out he was Human Resources and if he spent any time downrange he almost certainly never left the wire. Unless it was a case of sending the POG’s out to spend the night in a hot spot to get a CAB. I have seen that a few times. These are the dudes that beat their chest and talk crap about being vets. The kind that try to get free stuff and go on hunts, etc based on the combat veteran status.

Looks like he will be in the unemployment line soon.

I wish I could say this was all unbelievable. Daddy always said the guys who say they are smart and real religious are usually neither.

The most dangerous man in the room is the quietest man in the room. That was an important part of my training.

True that. Sometimes you can hear them breathing. Take my word for this.

Didn’t claim to be tough, but I don’t take any [censored] either. YMMV.

You are good. I don’t hold it against the young guy when five guys pull up and one is a severe, evidently lying idgit.

I saw somewhere that guy's business address got moved to a penitentiary in one of the Carolinas I think it was. The internet is savage

Evidently he has lost it all over this little incident. I have no sympathy. I feel bad for this kid though. Evidently a good kid, out here just trying to catch some fish and enjoy some good wholesome fun and this bully comes out of nowhere and hops on his boat. Fishing will never be the same for him.

At least he had the wits to record the incident.

Yep.

The loudmouth ripping his shirt off and challenging you to a fight....probably isn't the fella of most concern.

I'll be watching the quiet guy seated way back in the corner.

No different than with dogs.

He is not wrong...

Seriously?

A bad dog don’t need to bark.

So what's the real story on his military service? Was he a Ranger? Was he wounded in combat? I don't see a Purple Heart, so how did he get his TBI while serving? Was he a human resources specialist that never saw combat? Never earned rank? Maybe he's been an A-hole his whole life and is using his military service to justify his behavior.
