I don't like seeing that go viral because she is obviously suffering, and not just because someone asked her to put on a mask.
She might also have some early dementia/loss of impulse control.

Welcome to 2021. The result of years of "oh that person is suffering, or oh that person is mentally ill and needs help poor thing". The hateful, angry, we don't care about anyone but us and would just as soon kill you at look at you deplorables have been molly coddled forever, this is the result.

I can think of numerous asshats who’ve been filmed acting like that who are married. Many have been posted here.

I know plenty of people who live alone who don’t act anything like that. What an odd take.

Scary. I would have pulled out my mirror and held up to her face. Look at yourself woman, just look at the evil and hate you are projecting. Very ugly looking wouldn't you say, granny?

I feel sorry for her. When my grandmother was in her 80s she suffered a major stroke. She lost much of her memory and cognitive functions, and fits of anger and frustration were often. Sometimes having empathy goes farther than hoping to get likes for a stupid video. If someone shoved a camera in my grandmothers face during one of her “moments”, that camera would have been slapped out of the hands of the jerk face.

Because it seems (to me, anyways) that the weight of judgement in this discussion is concerned with her actions and the words she uses than her appearance.

I’ve seen many cases in the elderly where words and body language have been affected due to dementia. Oh the world would be a better place if we just empathize and try to understand each other. I’m not shoving a god damn camera in the face of a women in her 70s and 80s so I can get likes and thumbs ups to “out” a person. That’s disgusting. I would like to think posters here have more empathy to the elderly and those who may be dealing with mental disorders. I guess everyone’s fair game here. Have at it!

"I’ve seen many cases in the elderly where words and body language have been affected due to dementia.”

All that is known is that we all see an out of control woman. Introducing other unknown attributes is speculation which you then seem to develop into rage...

“...I’m not shoving a god damn camera in the face of a woman in her 70s and 80s so I can get likes and thumbs ups..”

So the only reason a person would record this is to get likes as opposed to simply documenting the actions of an out of control person?


You speak of ageism then say:
“...I’m not shoving a god damn camera in the face of a women in her 70s and 80s..”


... isn’t that ageist, should women in their 70s an 80s be exempted from cameras?
