(17,671 posts)He may very well have been in pain (from the deadly motorcycle accident he had two months prior), further injured by this jerk who pushed him and tried to drown him
The aftermath of such a serious accident could also be painkillers and/or depression or risky behavior.

(1,991 posts)In case others may be confused, it's important to point out that crutches and canes and walkers and rollators aren't used exclusively for being able to stand upright. Zum beispiel, my husband can stand upright without his rollator, he can rise from a seated to a standing position without assistance, he can maintain balance too. But for mobility and traveling on his own power over any distance... and to be done safely, he does need his cane or rollator. Because someone isn't actively propped up with a cane or crutch or rollator doesn't mean they don't need them, and it doesn't mean that they are not challenged with safe mobility.

(4,778 posts)I follow a "use of force" expert on Youtube who testifies in trails related to road rage, fights, gunshots, etc. His most frequent advice is "Don't get into fights like this." Being right isn't going to keep you alive. It isn't your job to punish someone for being a jerk.
You don't know who is armed with CCW or a knife, or who is unhinged. Not worth it. De-escalate. Don't yell back. Leave or at the very least remain calm.
Once he has the 20YO head underwater lethal force to stop him may have been justified but far better not to escalate in the first place.
