Everything you say about this person is simply your own opinion, assumptions you make about him. One person's "slovenly" way of dressing is another man's way of dressing casually, although I'm not a big fan of sleeveless tees, myself. I'm not sure how you ascertain someone is walking around "with a sense of bravado." But what's wrong with bravado, anyway? Some people call it "self-confidence". Least the guy apparently wasn't slinking around with a conspiratorial leer on his face.
Nor can I figure out how you know other diners were "intimidated". Were other diners cringing in fear, looking at the guy with bug-eyed horror? Were they leaving..****nning in fear for the exits? Exhibiting signs of distress and fear like sweating and trembling, muttering incoherently among themselves, pointing at the guy maybe?
Seriously, how did you rationally come to these conclusions?
