Why is James so daring?

Lucas Rattler did not expect someone to stand up for this old lady and he asked coldly "Who the hell are you? Do you want to die too?"

When Lucas said this he was fuming with anger.

He was greatly respected by countless people in Aston Villa but today he has encountered one disrespect to another.

First, it was Darren yelling in his face, then it was a miserable old lady who was chirping in front of him.
