I think the old guy was probably a shite head and a racist. I think the 27 year old man who hit him let the fact that we've basically said it's ok to do so if certain sounds are made cloud his judgement and he hit an elderly man causing his death. So yeah, the elderly a-hole is the true victim here and the 27 year old man who hit him because he said something he didn't like is the bad actor. He punched and killed a 77 year old man who had not laid a finger on him...just said words at him.

I'm not going to fight you too hard here on the semantics. But from a non-legal perspective if you berate some guy in a way that everyone agrees is extreme, and he hits you once and you die, I can't muster a lot of outrage. I understand your position and I don't think it's wrong/unreasonable.
