You can tell them every time. They have no support for what they have done, so they have to revert to the lowest level of their "intellect". Letting people like this know that you recognize how illegal or dangerous their behavior is, you can at the least expect some really nasty vocabulary, and it could result in a bad beating or even being shot these days ! Civil behavior in a community designed for older folks is FAR from "civil" here !

I will never forget the day decades ago in my 20s when I first realized some don’t get wiser as they get older. I was walking into Walgreens when an old man as nasty as can be was coming out. At that age and still hadn’t learned how to control his emotions. Reminded me of a two yo. I was shocked and definitely let down by this realization. I have since come to the conclusion that many never learn. I also learned that you never know how your actions will affect another. That man was probably too angry to even notice I was there. But he sure made a huge impression that has lasted a lifetime.
