    I saw this video. He went too far.

    He fractured a woman's skull. A closed fist punch would've been enough.

    That's one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life.

    Why is this topic under "Humor & Satire"?

    Is that funny to you?

    Fast food employees can have it hard sometimes, now that I watch the video, but that was uncalled for.

    Typical black behavior.

    This is the norm in every ghetto around the world.

    What wonderful contributions blacks make to so-called civilized society.

    Saw it too. I think he did go too far. Things can get out of control when a situation turns violent and people often over react when they're afraid for their safety. That's why we make it illegal to initiate violence and hold the person who took that first violent action responsible for what they start... even if someone else finishes it.

    Awesome.

    It's people we don't know getting hurt. Of course it's funny.
    Agreed. TNB. Still funny, though.

    She would've kicked his ass if he tried to fight her fair.
    My stepfather taught me when defending myself pick up the biggest thing I can and wallop them with it. It isn't about being fair it's about surviving to tell the story.

    If the assailant is on the ground, unarmed, then they are not a threat and you have already survived. There is no reason to hit them while they are down.

    Oh yeah, so true.

    Was 9/11 as big a riot for you as it was for me?

    I know I sure as hell sat in front of the TV rewinding the footage of the towers collapsing over and over again because it was so (*)(*)(*)(*)ing funny. I mean, I didn't know any of those people so, :nana:

    It's called momentum. Your already panic swinging you simply keep swinging without thinking about it. Mind goes blank and you just swing over and over again until you recognize that the threat no longer exist. Even if the threat didn't exist you have to recognize it before stopping.

    That's an easy judgement when you're watching something on YouTube (especially so if you watched it more than once).

    Deciding when you are safe is a harder call when someone surprises you and jumps over a counter to attack. The adrenaline, fear, and reasonable concern that if you let the attacker get up you might not be lucky enough to put them back down makes it harder to decide when the threat is ended.

    This was a fry cook and McDonald's, not trained a combatant. The whole incident took place in less than a minute. Even if I agree with you that the employee would have been better to back off some number of seconds earlier, it's unreasonable to fault him for being slow to come to the same conclusion in the midst that chaotic minute.

    Blame the person who started the violence. They are the one that put everyone at the scene in a volatile and dangerous situation where unprepared, frightened people were forced to make split second decisions that had violent and potentially deadly consequences.
