>id bet anything dude is hilarious in

On repeat viewings I noticed that at first he just went to flip it around backwards but then decided, ah fuck this, and tossed it. Laugh out loud funny.

then the running down the ramp, just to kill your OWN momentum by stopping at the bottom of the hill

embarrassing display
13489730, Nah that hat toss was a bat signal to the ancestors…

fuck is yall cheering for?
13489739, Uhh, no shit the dude who got jumped by 3-5 people was getting
Posted by Adwhizz, Mon Aug-07-23 12:29 PM
beat up.

This is ain't Streets of Rage, this is real life.
13489741, Seriously! He held his own until the 3rd dude ran in.
Posted by soulfunk, Mon Aug-07-23 12:43 PM
The first dude hit him with a running sucker punch before the hat toss - while the security guard was talking to another guy and pointing towards the boat. That ish was out of pocket and honestly hard enough of a sucker punch that it would have taken out most people off the rip. Then while he was holding his own against that first attacker the dude he’d been talking to came behind him to grab him and he was STILL holding strong. It wasn’t until the third dude came running in to take him down that they just all starting piling on him. At no point in that fight did he have a fair advantage to be winning against that full group.
13489743, cause he got jumped and Black folk showed up and handled business
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Aug-07-23 12:47 PM
you act like this was an MMA fighter with a proven fight record.

Dude held his own until reinforcements came.
13489746, nigga please. id be EMBARRASSED to show this footage, LOL
Posted by seasoned vet, Mon Aug-07-23 01:04 PM
then ole boy RAN down the ramp inly to stop like them yt boys that ran up on Jermaine Oneal

i will never understand folks running up to a fight, just to STOP and get hit in the face
13489747, In a world of horrible takes this is the horriblest.
Posted by Brew, Mon Aug-07-23 01:09 PM
13489748, So is your issue with the first Black dude who came in to help?
Posted by soulfunk, Mon Aug-07-23 01:11 PM
Because he ran down the ramp and did JUST THAT. He didn’t run down to start fighting, he ran down and stopped the group from beating the security guard. That broke up the first round and he put himself in harm’s way to do so. That took some HEART.
13489749, His issue is with Black people
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Aug-07-23 01:48 PM
dude ALWAYS shames Black folk.

Not even sure what his issue really is.. its like he is watching a different video.

13489776, my issue is both the security guard and the runner
Posted by seasoned vet, Tue Aug-08-23 02:06 AM
by the time i seen dude in the water i tapped out and didnt watch watch the rest

yall caping hard for top flight. how you let a 60 year old drunk yt man in flip flops get the best of you?

yeah they jumped him, but it started out 1 on 1
13489779, I didn’t see him losing when it was 1 on 1
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Aug-08-23 06:58 AM
clearly he isn’t a professional boxer but dude didn’t get his ass kicked like you are trying to spin in.
13489784, Exactly. I broke it down in post 35.
Posted by soulfunk, Tue Aug-08-23 08:07 AM
The 1 on 1 fight was never fair to begin with. That first dude hit him with a running sucker punch while he was talking to the other guy. Never saw that punch coming. Most people would be OUT just after that punch and he was still standing strong. Then for the rest of the 1 on 1 he was essentially holding that dude at an arms length by his neck without anything else connecting, until other guy came around the back and grabbed him, and then the third dude ran in and jumped on him with it being a 3 on 1 fight at that point.

13489805, no one celebrated this mans fighting skills
Posted by legsdiamond, Tue Aug-08-23 11:09 AM
simply celebrating how everyone came to his aid after that hat toss

but again, Vet loves to criticize Black folk. Its his thing.
13489756, You good?
Posted by DJR, Mon Aug-07-23 02:14 PM
13489755, You're weird
Posted by PROMO, Mon Aug-07-23 02:11 PM
He was handling that dude with ease choking him out at arms length before 4 more dudes came and jumped him.

And the dude that ran down the walkway didn't even get hit dude swung at him and missed. Then he went and got them dudes off the security guard.


13489736, ^^^^^^THIS

13489814, What charges are brought, and against whom?
Posted by handle, Tue Aug-08-23 12:25 PM
How will this be charged in the coming days?

Dude who rushed him gets charged right?

Chair dude gets charged for using a weapon, right?

Most everyone else gets either THE MAX charges or NO CHARGES, right?
13489817, I feel like all three of those original guys who jumped
Posted by soulfunk, Tue Aug-08-23 01:04 PM
him should get charged. Definitely the dude who threw that first sucker punch, but also the second dude who was grabbing him and hitting along with the third who ran in and jumped on him.

And yeah, prolly my man with the chair.
13489819, I think that feels justified
Posted by handle, Tue Aug-08-23 01:37 PM
>him should get charged. Definitely the dude who threw that
>first sucker punch, but also the second dude who was grabbing
>him and hitting along with the third who ran in and jumped on
>him.

I wonder if the "I saw my friend being hit and I went in to help him" defense will play. But one of those dudes started going a little to hard to be defense only.

The guy who ran down the ramp definitely was there to help - but at least one of the guys who jumped in before that was just wanting to fight.

>And yeah, prolly my man with the chair.
Those charges probably get worse if someone was hurt with the chair. Like if a jaw is broken, or neck injuries, etc.

If no one got really hurt he may get a lesser charge or a dropped charge for mutual combat.
13489820, I feel like the dudes who ran/skipped up after the first fight was over...
Posted by Monkey Genius, Tue Aug-08-23 02:36 PM
... could be in trouble.

There was no threat at that point. Them folks was sailing away.
13489826, The Chairman is going down for sure

Looks to be the 3 white dudes in the beginning with misdemeanors for various assualts.

Also the police have asked chair dude to arrange to come in and talk.
