WTF. Growing up nobody would even think to do that let alone turn it into a form of entertainment. Even if the old guy was rambling, or bitching.

Then again there were no precedents being set by the societal disgrace which they call "reality" TV where all people do is, complain, fight, and back stab each other into oblivion.

Pathetic.

If by "growing up" you are inferring back to your youth and the good old days, allow me to offer this nugget. When I was a kid in Berkeley in the 60's, I went to a Gothic redwood school building designed by Julia Morgan in the hills. Almost all the kids were white, with the rest being Asian with parents at the Lawrence Lab. It had a panoramic view of the bay looking west, and I loved my teachers. I could walk the five blocks to it through some of north Berkeley's finest architecture and the world was safe and manicured with quality workmanship.

Then Berkeley started busing - I believe we were one of the early adopters. I was re-assigned to west Berkeley in the flats - and the blacks. To be fair, there were some really good blacks and they were just as pissed about the lowlifes. On my first day, miles from home and suddenly racially outnumbered, I was walking up a flight of stairs as a group of young blacks came down the other side. The one closest to me punched me in the head and his friends just cracked up with laughter and kept going.

This was almost fifty years ago - their behavior is not dependent on social status but more animal instinct. They see opportunity as the kill, and their only reservation from going all-out feral is whether or not they have an even bigger predator nearby that can bust them. Picking on old people should be a harsh and absolute removal from society that's for sure. Bucks like this dude are why God gave us firing squads.
