The angry man can be seen confronting the vegan campaigners, who held up screens showing animal slaughter and used the megaphones to get their point across to shoppers.

One man took direct action against the protesters, grabbing a loudhailer from an activist named Ella Wild and breaking it on the ground before walking away.

Ms Wild posted a video of the incident on her Instagram, calling the shopper who retaliated "an angry customer".

Most of the commenters sided with the shopper, with one saying: "Good man glad someone done it".

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I really thought you were stating that I was a vegan who was arbitrarily taking the side of another vegan. I retract that, for whatever that's worth.

I agree that repeat offenders need to see some real consequences. It's not okay to harass other people.

I just feel like learning the hard way needs to be handcuffs, court dates, and then bars. If the government doesn't step up, yeah, citizens will start taking things into their own hands, which comes with a lot of risks, especially when people disagree on what's considered acceptable behavior. It's only a matter of time before more significant violence occurs.

Nah you're all good, I wrote that part weirdly.

We're living in really tough times atm and peoples fuses are a lot shorter than they used to be, I do believe that we're all suffering some mental health issues that came up from the pandemic and the lockdowns that we need to work on as a society, shits gotten worse since then and it's getting hard to keep your cool and remain civil, even I'm having a hard time not overreacting to things.

I honestly would probably have ripped the megaphone from them as well.

Too much insanity is happening all at once.
