Was I wrong or did this guy overreact?

Question

I was talking to this lady on the bus yesterday, coming from WalMart, & my friend & her "some-timing boyfriend" were there. When the conversation came up about little kids doing things that were done to them @ home & acting it out @ school, & I mentioned violence & child molestation, the guy went berzerk on me because he "thought" that I was going to tell the lady about him "supposedly" molesting his daughter. I didn't mention names, & neither did I point any fingers.

After he verbally went off on me, my friend pulled him back because he tried to punch me in the face. I'm 24, she's 29, & he's 30. & my friend said, "How do you know that lady didn't think I was her sister & you were her brother since most people say we look alike & mistake us for siblings? Her friend could've been ANYBODY! Now, you made it KNOW that you MUST be guilty for molesting your daughter if you get outraged like that."

Answer 1

You did nothing wrong.. I thought you were talking to this lady.. so how does your friend and her sometimes boyfriend get involved in that..  he has a big temper and anger issue that needs treatment.. and she made a big mistake by making his anger worse by telling him he must be guilty of molesting his daughter if the gets outraged like that.. those 2 both have problems.. she should have calmed him down or just defended you.. but not said that when he already had an anger issue.. and he.. needs a group therapy in anger management.. but he is more likely to hurt people physically instead of being a molester.. with his anger problem.. x

Answer 2

I would say he overreacted big time since there wasn't any accusation anywhere in the conversation, nor was the idea of anyone being apart of this type of abuse presented.
