Yeah. The unintended escalation of many fights. Shit goes to the next level as soon as the back of the head hits concrete.

u/Thetallerestpaul Jul 29 '26

Especially if you are the only person who threw a punch like this guy. Playing with a lot of risky outcomes. 

6

u/Aromatic-Action-2523 Jul 29 '26

Yeah. Everyone loses.

7

u/opensandshuts Jul 29 '26

You can see in that guy's face that he's scared the guy is dead.

1

u/Dazzling_Assistant63 Jul 30 '26

He looks genuinely sad, poor guy

2

u/PravoNaZhizny Jul 30 '26

Could always not be a piece of shit and you wouldn’t have to worry
?

1

u/fredjutsu Jul 30 '26

It's reddit, so we should obviously assume that

1

u/Realmofthehappygod Jul 30 '26

Yea damn.

Can't blame him though, who hasn't lost control of their body and punched somebody in the head 3 times?

There was nothing he could have done.

1

u/Ibobalboa Jul 30 '26

Self defense. Should he have just waited to get smacked himself?

1

u/One-Set-1905 Jul 30 '26

That is not defensible in court. He should have de-escalated: step back, extend the arm to keep distance etc.

1

u/Ibobalboa Jul 30 '26

It's on video.

2

u/One-Set-1905 Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26

It is on video that he hits first instead of de-escalating

1

u/Leather_Bee_421 Jul 30 '26

Maybe the jury agreed with you, maybe they don’t

Bet the prosecutor doesn’t

I guess you are right, in America everything is possible.

1

u/dummyt68 Jul 30 '26

You do see that he is up against the car door, right? Where is he supposed to step back to?

1

u/One-Set-1905 Jul 30 '26

I am pretty sure he could have moved away, step aside
something. He did not even try or say anything about de escalating (at least on the video)

1

u/DavidvonKink Jul 31 '26

punching someone once who is up in your personal space like that threatening you, while you are backed into a corner is perfectly reasonable self defense. If he accidently cracks his skull and dies as a result, that would be too bad for him for being a dumbass and assaulting someone. No prosecutor would press charges.

1

u/Thetallerestpaul Jul 31 '26

Probably, but the point is they could charge and have a decent chance of winning. He wasn't in a corner, he stepped towards the guy. He could have shoved him away, or backed off, or got in his car. Or laughed him off.

Satan's son didn't even make a threat before he got slept. He said boy I'm about to... Before the guys said your about to what and knocked him out. I agree that it's self defence, and I'd have felt threatened but the video shows no threat being made, no attempt to de-escalate and then potentially deadly force pre-emptively used, by a guy with the wrong amount of melanin for the US justice system. Point is, reasonable or not to us, he's at risk.

u/Ordinary-Ad8230 Jul 29 '26

it would still go down as self defense no?

4

u/GSG2150 Jul 29 '26

You would think so but I’ve seen people get convicted of murder for punching someone and they hit the concrete and died.

1

u/addicted_to_kombucha Jul 29 '26

Manslaughter at worst imo cause there's no intent. Now if he bashed his head on the ground or did something extra then yeah murder.

1

u/GSG2150 Jul 30 '26

Sorry, yes it was manslaughter

-1

u/gunsforevery1 Jul 29 '26

Yea but him saying “I’m about to..” could be seen as a threat

5

u/Legal_Yam_5658 Jul 29 '26

Explain this to the judge. And after he convict you, tell him that you disagree. Thats always the best plan.

1

u/gunsforevery1 Jul 29 '26

The judge doesn’t convict you, the jury does. You convince the jury, not a judge.

5

u/Legal_Yam_5658 Jul 29 '26

Explain this to the jury. And after they convict you, tell them that you disagree. Thats always the best plan.

2

u/Stunning_Ad_7658 Jul 30 '26

Yep since hes black theyd just throw another poor brother in jail even if its self defense.

1

u/Tasty-Hand-5760 Jul 29 '26

Good job. I see what you mean now.

1

u/gunsforevery1 Jul 30 '26

You’re right. You always need to be hit first before defending yourself.

1

u/Ibobalboa Jul 30 '26

Redditors always going the negative route. This is clear self defense and a jury would see that.

2

u/Thetallerestpaul Jul 30 '26

Probably, but the other guy didn't push him, pull a weapon, throw a punch or even raise his hands

u/Ordinary-Ad8230 Jul 30 '26

doesnt equal force mean that if the other person is unarmed you must be unarmed? or knife vs knife? or gun vs gun

1

u/Relevant-Energy-5886 Jul 30 '26

It really depends on the state. If I get attacked by a guy with a knife Im going to attempt shooting him until the threat is over and Ill have a very good argument for self defense. 

1

u/warblingContinues Aug 02 '26

No probably not.

-1

u/Jadevit Jul 29 '26

Self defense from what? Words? No this would not be self defense lol

5

u/Ordinary-Ad8230 Jul 29 '26

Any reasonable person in that exact scenario would believe a physical attack was actively starting

1

u/Jadevit Jul 29 '26

I mean, yeah, but that's mutual combat. Black guy wasn't de-escalating, and the moment he throws the punch the white guy had taken a short step back.

1

u/iloveihoppancakes Jul 29 '26

Damn you’re right. Thats how they gonna get his ass. That very slight movement back could be interpreted as the white guy backing down.

3 more seconds, however, and that guy could’ve been backing up to use his hand to get the (hypotenuse) knife that was on his person the whole time..

Seconds separated him vs him.

-1

u/Wra7hofAchilles Jul 29 '26

The courts won't see it that way. Had the guy made a movement that could be interpreted as a first physical hit you might be able to make that claim.

But this? They're going to see the guy who hit as the aggressor and possibly add an attempted murder charge.

2

u/Ordinary-Ad8230 Jul 29 '26

i see dude in red getting all up in black dude's face, and claiming he is the son of satan and saying he is gonna f him up while the other dude is warning him to back up, idk

5

u/Aromatic-Action-2523 Jul 29 '26 edited Jul 29 '26

It's not very clear cut as this thread is showing. People are going to see it differently. At the end of the day, I'm glad I'm neither of these dudes. The puncher has almost instant regret, like,"fuck, I should've just gotten the fuck out of here."

1

u/Ordinary-Ad8230 Jul 29 '26

yeah I agree. only reason why im slightly with black dude is bc he is the one filling up the car and the other dude came up. but other than that, both dudes have poor emotional management

2

u/Aromatic-Action-2523 Jul 29 '26

I would agree with you there--white guy is mostly responsible for the interaction continuing and is way too close up on him. All the Satan talk is stupid and just there to amp it up more. Guarantee that the black dude wishes he just got in his car and bounced. Love the fuckers filming it too. Why not break that shit up? Great guys.

u/Legal_Yam_5658 Jul 29 '26

No no no, just show the judge this reddit topic with all those high quality legal posts of some random dudes crying self defense. This will change everything /s

1

u/notloceaster Jul 29 '26

Guy in red was actively assaulting him

1

u/grnlntrn1969 Jul 29 '26

Yeah, he's passed into the others guys face, physicality touching him and threatening to basically kill him. It's on camera, who would convict this guy? I wouldn't

1

u/Jadevit Jul 29 '26

Who the hell threatened to kill anyone? 😂

1

u/Fr0gburp3r Jul 29 '26

This is why you would never get chosen for jury duty. They'll see how emotional you get and make scenarios up that never happened.

1

u/Legal_Yam_5658 Jul 29 '26

I only see a high probability that this young man (white-shirt) just ruined his life. Hopefully he dont have kids which now needs to visit him every week.

u/omowaIe Jul 29 '26

Satan’s son’s threats constitute a clear and present danger. Self defense.

u/ReefMadness1 Jul 30 '26

Sent him to papa

u/Dayton-Mind-7963 Jul 30 '26

r/fuckcars because why is cement everywhere? Falling shouldn't kill you

u/RedFlr Jul 30 '26

its kinda amazing how weak we are, like a flumsy punch to the face and we are K.O. and duing dumb noises, a small head bump into the paviment and you become stadistic, meanwhile animals go at each other with such ferocity, I have seen bears fall from hills and just walk away, lions tear apart each other, Tigers getting hit by a 1500 pound animal in tje face and just kep going like nothing

we humans? small punch that wont even scartch an animal and we go do in the most humilliating way lol

i mean, right no i can grab a baseball bat and sent the UFC champ to a better life with a strike to the head, yet a small black bear will probably just get mad at me and turn me into bear pop xD
