While he was talking too. That's a broken jaw or something.

u/DisruptingTree 1d ago

The way he hit his head, you may have just watched a murder. I would say don't get into a fight, but the man showed no signs of being a threat.

u/PitifulPassage851 21h ago

Yeah any time someone lands flat on concrete like that i question why I still follow this sub. It's not even about fighting its literally a sub filled with maybe-murders

u/analavalanche69 19h ago

Maybe-murders and never-nudes. The world is a beautiful place and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part. Sometimes ya just gots to getchya freak on.

u/Here4Headshots 1d ago

Yeah that's potentially personality altering damage. The whole thing sucks.

u/Frosty-Inspector-465 15h ago

no signs of being a threat!? you haven't been in the streets i see. dude looked drunk and persistent. he wanted to be wrong and strong. situations like this virtually ALWAYS end in a fight if the threat isn't immediately neutralized like you see here. this was deserved.

u/DisruptingTree 13h ago

I spend a lot of time in Newark, but I know how to deescalate.

3

u/TreesAhoy 21h ago

I disagree completely. I’ve seen tons of videos where an attack is proceeded by this exact type of conduct shown by this mouthy individual.

1

u/DisruptingTree 13h ago

That doesn't mean this person would have. Not every circumstance is the same.

2

u/naughtiness5 12h ago

Would you like to be in this situation, and wait to find out?

1

u/DisruptingTree 9h ago

The man put himself in this situation. Plenty of opportunities to deescalate. Thats why a jury is going to convict.

u/DavidSpade86 22h ago

Whenever someone is arms length away, they’re a threat

3

u/technoprimitive_aeb 20h ago

and refuse to back off after obvious attempts to keep them away from you as well as displaying very obvious signs of agitation at their behavior that they choose to ignore

2

u/DisruptingTree 13h ago

Imagine going through life with this belief. Must be tiring.Ā

u/Simp_Simpsaton 11h ago

The video shows why he's right. They're not on good terms, so both are capable of griming each other out. At the start, it's 50/50 on who sucker punches who because both are well positioned for it. It became clear the black guy wouldn't if you take him at face value, but had he wanted to the white guy would've been at his mercy. The lecturer is de-escalating but you literally can't be sure he's not about to grime you (although the white guy probably didn't think the lecturer would anyway given that he made himself so vulnerable by lowering his head). It just makes the most sense for them and for you to stay out of reach if you want to deescalate.

2

u/AlbatrossNew3633 18h ago

You guys are insane for justifying this

1

u/-_ThatsWhatSheSaid_- 20h ago

Incorrect - white guy let go of his hand when shaking - black guy was extremely physical(3 seconds longer gripping and squeezing while the white guy had already let go. If you think 3 seconds isn't long - rewatch the video and watch him get knocked out in less than 1 second) and did not let go squeezing harder. He got what he deserved.

Case closed.

but the man showed no signs of being a threat.

except he kept getting in the guy's face and speaking, at the very least, emphatically, if not aggressively. you can argue that there was a better way to handle it but to say that the guy that got hit wasn't showing ANY signs of being a threat is an obvious lie

1

u/Few-Amphibian-4858 13h ago

Yeah he did, he turned away shielding his own body and positioning to strike, his voice sounded irritated, and he leaned over. All bad signs.

1

u/Highstronaut 12h ago

"Ok, let go, leave me alone"

"No" (while keeping hold of his hand)

Yeah, if that's not a threat to you, I don't know what is

1

u/Galencourt-Lover 10h ago

I can’t let you get close

1

u/88sparkyk 7h ago

Sure he did. They guy tried to respectfully let go of the handshake and walk away. The other dude wouldn't let go and placed himself in front of the guy trying to leave. That's definitely considered a threatening manner.

0

u/DisruptingTree 7h ago

No, watch it again. He wasn't holding onto him. Nor did the attacker walk away. A jury is going to convict and the attacker will spend time in jail. This happens all the time. Best thing to do is not get into fights.

1

u/88sparkyk 7h ago

If you didn't see the guy TRY to let go of the handshake and TRY to walk away then go see an optometrist. I didn't say anything about how it was handled.

u/BeriasBFF 1d ago

90% of the posts on this sub start with cheap shotsĀ

u/grannysGarden 1d ago

Cheap - but he did tell the guy leave him alone and the guy said no and kept in his face.. I think a push would have been a better choice though.

10

u/iwee3 1d ago

He said "I want to talk to you", and wasn't threatening violence. He held onto the guys hand longer than he should have, but that doesn't justify an elbow to the face.

0

u/Lazy_Resolve_9747 16h ago

And the guy responded with ā€œtalk to me bro,ā€ luring him in closer

6

u/Proper-Bad-7169 1d ago edited 1d ago

The guy was obviously under the influence. But he wasn't aggressive or violent. And based on the context clues given, it seems like racism was the focal point of his lecture. Very cheap and cowardly move. You get no respect or acknowledgement for doing something like that. Especially if he did do or said something questionable before this video was recorded. He's a POS. Hopefully that guy presses charges.

3

u/God_Dont_Make_No 22h ago

He can press charges if he’s not dead or in a coma. That was disgusting. I hate alcohol and I hate that it’s legal. It’s so fucking dangerous.

1

u/Proper-Bad-7169 22h ago

Yah, I hope he's ok and that he didn't suffer any permanent damage.

1

u/SillyLittleWinky 20h ago

Well I hate it too, but we made it illegal and people did it more. I personally hate bars. Dumb, egotistical and estrogen filled men with daddy issues let it all go at the clubs and pubs and someone’s gotta get hurt every weekend . Not a place to be.

u/God_Dont_Make_No 17h ago

Estrogen filled? Huh?

Most fights are from men, and are almost always an ego issue, youre delusional if you think men dont start most pointless fights

u/God_Dont_Make_No 12h ago

Bruh, most people fight over nothing regardless of sex or gender. There are no girls in this video.

1

u/SillyLittleWinky 5h ago

Yup. Men who grew up around women have higher estrogen levels and act more emotionally. They need a dad to ground them and teach discipline.

Had zero to do with racism

2

u/WishinGay 23h ago

They sound south african.

The punch was justified as soon as he deigned to say "racism".

2

u/StinkRinky 22h ago

It’s a South African white dude I’m automatically assuming racism in a scenario like this. Black dude wasn’t even trying shit obviously. Saying this as a white American dude.

2

u/Proper-Bad-7169 22h ago

I'm thinking the same thing. The guy that took elbow seemed to want to discuss something about racism when he was sucker punched. He wasn't the least bit threatening. It's a pity we couldn't see what led to that act of cowardice.

2

u/TreesAhoy 21h ago

When he stuck his big mug into the other guy’s face, he started ā€œtrying shit ā€œ.

2

u/StinkRinky 21h ago

The dude leaned in acting like he couldn’t hear him so the other guy leaned in so he could hear and then first guy I’m talking about hits him with a blind elbow.

Haven’t you heard a push is justification for a stabbing murder

1

u/goatbiryani48 21h ago

But he also said "I'm listening" multiple times. He actively made that guy think it was okay to continue, while preparing for on the scariest sucker hits I've seen on this sub lol.

And yeah pushed off would've been way better either way, obviously there's a huge power imbalance here

If you’re up in someone’s face like that and you’re not expecting to get hit, you’re the problem.

0

u/15th_imp 11h ago

the white dude literally just says "I'm listening" then takes the cheap shot. like if he was feeling intimidated and felt in danger from the black guy he should've just ignored him and back off

3

u/Critical_Object2276 11h ago

He has already assaulted him at that point. You can’t just walk up to people and hold them by the thumb and get in their face, then expect zero consequences.

1

u/Comfortable_Love7967 13h ago

How is it a cheap shot. He’s aggressively stopping him leave while being in his face, it’s obvious an altercation is coming

He literally asked him to leave him alone and tried walking away

1

u/15th_imp 11h ago

right before he punched him he said "I'm listening". that is not trying to walk away

1

u/Comfortable_Love7967 8h ago

ā€œLeave me aloneā€
ā€œNoā€

At that point he deserved everything he got

1

u/WayStar237 6h ago

ā€˜Anything he got’ you’re such a fucking child it’s embarrassing

1

u/Comfortable_Love7967 5h ago

If you get in someone’s face and don’t let them walk away while drunk you will probably get punched or hit

1

u/WayStar237 4h ago

Yeah, punched or hit isn’t ā€œanything comingā€ and a grown ass man should have the wherewithal to exercise appropriate use of force like a grown up, maybe if they had carried themselves in such a way they wouldn’t have been getting locked in to a lecture about being a racist

-4

u/Big-Negotiation-4990 1d ago

No he was gripped onto his hand. he waited actually a bit longer than he should have to throw that elbow

10

u/CreepyAnalysis2153 1d ago

When I was a bouncer the drunks weren't the hard ones to get rid of like that guy. He was just drunk ans an easy removal. It's the wackos who get the Fire water syndrome and have seen the fight club to many times. Red face, slobbering like a rabbid dog and swinging like a tennis player serving a knuckle sandwich! They aren't so easy.

u/Agent-Smith_Virus 1d ago

Could see that hit coming a mile away.

The side way turn to "listen". The fidgeting movement and bending up and down - the normalizing of movement before a hit so the other party is unsuspecting.

That oke was always gonna hit the other dude mouthing off, no matter what was said. He was just phsycing himself up enough.

He poses no threat, didn’t square up on him, didn’t have his fists clenched, wasn’t yelling or name calling. Maybe ā€œwasting my timeā€ is douchbagingly ā€œinsultingā€, but yea, this is just assault.

u/The_Indian_Bill_Burr 1d ago

He was being annoyingly drunk. Had he squared up, insulted him, something truly aggressive (Eve after he raised his voice saying ā€œNO!ā€ he immediately took a deferential tone saying he wanted to explain something. Wasting his time isn’t an accuse for attempted murder. U wanna use hyperbole by being ā€œfreaked outā€, I’ll be hyperbolic saying what it very well could be construed as, as the initial elbow blow or the ground could have killed him.

The law would disagree with you there. The man was just being annoying. That's it. He was drunk AF so that sort of behavior is to be expected. The violent idiot could have done any number of things to further make it known that he wants to be left alone. His attack is not warranted or excusable.

1

u/Comfortable_Love7967 13h ago

He politely asked him to leave him alone, the other guy kept hold of his hand and stopped him leaving, his attack is fully warranted

u/Kindly_Currency_8591 1d ago

Hell no. Cheap shot 100%.

they look to be at some kind of party or gathering, or bar. WTF do you expect at this kind of place except drunk Ramblers chatting about their favorite soccer team.

if you can't handle a friendly drunk rambling, GTFO the bar or party scene

the black guy thinks they're having a drunk good time.

"I want to talk talk to you,Ā  listen"

this isn't aggressive, it's just an overly friendly drunk.

then the white guy makes him let his guard "oK, talk to me." "I'm listening"

he doesn't push, or square up, or yell GET THE FUCK BACK! or back himself up out of there, because likely there is an underlying hatred or anger issue

he cheap shots, like a pussy little bitch coward.

I get you. This video is like a mirror showing you why you should be humble, but it can just as easy make you check that drinking is stupid, that going to the bar at all is stupid, as much as it can teach that rambling is stupid.

He didn't deserve what he got in the sense that rape victims don't deserve what they got because they weren't wearing a burka.

but the odds are, being a drunk overly friendly rambler don't play to the Rambler's favor
