I don't understand this movie

Average looking dude goes to get some icecream and a gang takes offense. He's not waving around $100 bills. He didn't brush up against them, urinate on them, or try to have sexual intercourse with any of them. There were other men in line. Why Kersey?

And then this happens...

You'd think this guy here with the tongue and the armpits would be the most interesting thing going on, but the guy in the yellow shirt is completely flabbergasted by whatever is happening off screen.

I just don't get it...

What the heck happened to that guy? He suited up for work but then got in some type of unfortunate barbershop accident which took his sleeves and left him with that mullet.

Sure was nice of Kersey to donate to the Sleeve Fund.

wasn't even so much the character's look I found odd it was the age, why would young punks hassle an older guy that they could probably clearly see was a family man. why would they even be looking at him? okay for robbery purpose you could imagine but at first they are obviously just hassling him almost like he was some young kid. the revenge part only comes after he fights back when they track him down. strange premise.

understandable if it was a young guy and single especially. I should know idiots almost as bad as this enough around where I live and being 30 I am still subjected to some of it.

but I suppose it made the movie what it is, which most of us enjoyed.

Psycho scum like this harass and assault people for no rational reason all the time, just for the enjoyment of it.

Crime can happen to anyone and sometimes you need to rise up to defeat the forces of evil.
