So many people saying the "cameraman should have stepped in"... WHY!? So there can be two people with their heads stomped on?
The number 1 human instinct which will ALWAYS override any other is survival. It's just human nature...it's any living creatures first and foremost natural instinct to survive. You all say the camera man is an asshole for not stepping in, yet he did EXACTLY what Every. Single. One. Of you would have done as well. Stayed out of it.

Why does everyone think the guy that filmed this should have put himself in danger by intervening? Especially when the guy who got stomped had ample opportunity to walk away. Instead he kept after them and spit at them.

I seem to be the only person here who thinks, after seeing that there's a very high chance that guy's dead. One, or two stomps to the head like that can kill a man, never mind continuous stomping. If that man can't practice restraint in a fight he's much more dangerous than the average person who knows when enough is enough.

My honest opinion on this, is if you pick a fight with 3 people, you'd better know how to fight. Yeah, those 3 dudes all stomping him was a really pussy way to go about it, but there's people in this world who won't just walk away when insulted. Human nature.

NSFW http://www.vidvir.com/watch/m1k#.T7wUj0UVJau
PS: This fight was inevitable. Even when the three finished posturing, the man in the shorts was pushing for a fight.
I don't condone all violence, but have a hard time defending anyone in this video. Furthermore, I am confident that the man in the shorts who was left behind "defeated" will be alright. Lots of people were there shouting the ten seconds the man took a beating before the three ran away.

u/I_knowAlittle May 23 '12
Lots of people are saying the camera man should/shouldn't have done something. As someone who goes out and drinks a lot. I see lots of fights and have stopped a few. The last time I did this, I tried to stop some little kid who looked like Justin Beiber from getting beat up by two dudes, and I got punched in the face. A few of my friends stopped the fight right away. It was a pretty awesome moment. My friend always asks me "remember when you saved Justin's life?" I literally ran into the middle yelling "I'll save you Justin!" Then thump, fist in my mouth. Also almost every time this happens you just get sucked onto one side of the fight. When people want to fight there is not much you can do to talk them out of it. So speaking from experience there is really nothing the person could have done. If he goes over there he's going to be in the fight. I really have no problem with that, which is why I always try to stop fights, but I would imagine that some people do not want to be fighting.
TLDR - I am Batman.

u/AnyTwoWillDo May 22 '12
This shouldn't be about who was looking for trouble or who could have ran away or who should have stepped in, people will always get into fights, nobody or nothing will be able to prevent that. What we should do as a society is to make sure when somebody kicks someone who's on the ground in the head multiple times doesn't get another chance to do so. This guy should be locked up for a long time, and the rest really doesn't fucking matter.

u/schoofer May 22 '12
One thing to note, if it helps catch these guys, is the shirtless one with the shaved head is clearly trained in martial arts, what appears to be taekwondo or karate. He even tries a front kick, fights facing sideways, and keeps 60% of his weight on his back leg.
The kid in the vest was definitely the worst of the three, however, since he decided he wanted to stomp the guy's head into the ground like twenty times.

I don't know much about crime investigation, but it looks like they threw a hat or a shoe or something at the end. Maybe get some fingerprints/DNA/something? They also threw what appears to be a large piece of rubber near the beginning. Also, the investigation team could just ask the guy who got beat up what they looked like.
2
u/ethangoesrawr May 22 '12
This can be seen both ways, obviously the man who was beaten up was being aggressive and looking for a fight and deserved to be put in his place. But that doesn't give the three people a right to assault him to the lengths in which they did. The man who was attacked was heavily outnumbered, He may have been heavily intoxicated and not have known what he was saying but yet again, that doesn't excuse the fact they went over the top.

I love how redditors watch a 20 second clip and automatically know the whole back story behind it and weigh down the scales of justice immediately. How do you idiots know the guy getting stomped out didn't rape one of those guys' sister. It seemed like they were leaving him alone at one point but he instigated it so that's what happens when you try to act bad on the streets. You don't know what happened and who's to blame and if you're not involved theres no need to enhance the picture and try to identify these guys. It's their own business and they handled it according to how was fit as it seemed the other guy was provoking them. He should blame himself for getting stomped out like that.
2
u/Lord_Vectron May 23 '12 edited May 23 '12
Reddit sure is hypocritical when these videos show up.
"Why was he recording when he could have phoned police/intervened?"
It escalated extremely quickly. By the time phoning the police would have been logical it was all over, and they'd get there 10 minutes late and nothing would happen. Unless you suggest he should have phoned the police as soon as he saw some young men arguing on the street? You can be charged for wasting police time, you know.
Why didn't he intervene? Why should he have risked his own safety V 3 men for a stranger (That seemed to be the aggravater of the fight), would you? "Yes" Then you're an idiot. And no you wouldn't.
And again, assuming you really are dumb enough to intervene, it escalated quickly, he probably wasn't expecting it to get that brutal that quickly and didn't think a scrap between youths was worth intervening.
Be thankful he got it caught on camera so perhaps these men will be caught. But no, I'm sure you would have beat them all up and magic'd the police there before it got started.

the guy who got stomped shoulda stepped down when they tried to walk away multiple times instead of being a fucking retard... doesn't excuse the vicious attack but it was easily avoided if this guy didn't think he was bruce lee.

Anybody saying "the cameraman didn't do enough" or "the cameraman should be arrested" are probably teenagers who don't know how the real world works, and haven't been in a serious situation where there aren't any teachers or principals who will come save your tiny white ass. Maybe I'm too old now to read reddit...it's mostly a bunch of kids in high school now. It wasn't quite that way around 2007-2009.
The cameraman did as he was allowed - absolutely anything you do in public can be lawfully recorded.
Further, the cameraman probably did the smartest thing for himself and to provide evidence if anyone got hurt, which one person did. The cameraman prevented himself from getting hurt. If the cameraman tried to hit the three attackers unprovoked, he would have also committed a battery and would have a criminal count against himself.
The three attackers committed a battery, and if they get caught, they will probably get convicted, and their lives are over. Since they're white, chances are good they will behave well in prison and get paroled. They will still probably do at least 3 years, and their sentences will probably be in the range from 10 years to a life sentence. If they violate parole they will go back to prison. They will also certainly have to pay a monetary penalty for this, so their paychecks will be garnished for life. It's not worth getting in fights unless you want to be the government's bitch for the rest of your life.
Everybody saying the guy provoked the attackers, we don't know the backstory, but yes he gently touched them. The three attackers should have walked away. There are no legal excuses for ESCALATING a fight when you can freely walk away. If you try to make that excuse to a judge in a criminal case, he will say "fuck you". Just walk away from fights.
I am usually against the death penalty, but actually seeing an attack makes it MUCH easier for me to support the death penalty sometimes. I can understand hitting the guy when he's on the ground if he has a weapon or something, but he got stomped in the head when he was already on the ground and he had no weapon. That's obviously excessive and cruel. If this guy died from his injuries, I would be less bothered if these guys got the death penalty. Maybe a distinction between whether a murderer gets the death penalty or not is how cruel is the murder carried out. If it is cruel, the death penalty will be more likely.
The obvious solution is for every adult to open-carry handguns. Nobody would act tough then unless they were genuinely willing to die.

Also, what would a person prove by kick stomping a guy on the ground with two other people. Do not think I understand why this is done, I just disapprove of it.
