Seth Green gets mugged in a parking lot

It's homophobia.

---

I like Seth and it's certainly awful that he got mugged, but my first reaction to seeing that video is "Oh just shut already and take a freaking Valium".

---

Or at least lay off the blow for awhile.

---

Interestingly, it's exactly the way he acts when he's playing "Seth Green" on "Entourage."

I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed him either.

Actually, I think knocking over a table and storming off like a petulant 2 year old is always a rational expression of anger.

---

"I wonder if so many people are coming down on him for a (fairly mild, given the situation) outburst because dude's elfin and it reminds people of a child throwing a tantrum in the grocery store."

Not at all. I have no idea he's elfin. He's an adult acting like a toddler.

---

Plus, who's blaming the victim? No one said it was his fault.

Eh. Whatever you guys say. I just think it was an understandable emotional reaction in the context of a traumatizing experience, especially when you wonder if it could have been prevented by those whose job it is to keep people safe on that specific property. I can't take the hard line of "there's no excuse for bad behavior" because I've behaved badly under trauma and I'd hate to think that people had no compassion for that just because I didn't remain composed and respectful. If I'm ever physically attacked I'll try and remember not to be totally gauche.

I haven't seen him on Entourage, but I know that when people play themselves on TV they're usually portrayed as wildly different for comedic effect. I've mostly heard good things about the guy, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Plus, who's blaming the victim? No one said it was his fault.

I wasn't being totally serious with that phrase, which is why I did add the LOL. It's just that everybody (I mean, internet wide) seems more focused on chiding him for his reaction and it comes off as totally dismissive of the reason why he behaved like a little bitch.

I think they were Jane, and in all honesty they should have gone out even if they would have missed the incident( as it happened very quickly).
They obviously weren't paying attention to the camera.

Even so, Mr. Green was a tad over-the-top.

You know I really don't know if he was just venting and taking it out on those guys, or if they were affiliated with general security, or what.

Anyway. We can commence with the Lucky Charms jokes.

Yeah, I guess. Like, I still don't see the big deal, but that might just be because I've seen so much worse in the context of my own life and the people I know.

I'm glad there's never been a camera on me after an altercation/mugging/etc.

Yeah, I mostly got that. Fair enough, really. It's actually totally believable that he'd stage something like this exactly, since his own obvious vulnerability is such an easy target.

I think it would have had slightly better production values, though. Just a bit, not so much that it's not believable.
