So now we do deserve physical harm for yelling things on the street?

I don't know about you, but I see a shirtless dirty dude on the street yelling things, I stay away. Drunk, meth, or mentally ill. You don't want to get involved.

Leo S says shirtless guy deserved to get his ass kicked.

So - hopefully that is true.

The right haymaker at 00:21 did Pedro in.

Never-Biden Never-Putin said...

Black shirt guy had some nice moves. It looked a bit messy at first, but if you re-watch, black-shirt guy does a nice martial arts zen-twirl. the final death blow kick is a nice touch.

R C Belaire said...

MMA time! Guy with the long legs used his advantage.

Big Mike said...

Normally a spin kick in a street fight is supposed to be a way to get your own ass beaten. The shirtless guy was trying to fake as though he knew something about martial arts. But he just got a nice lesson.

JML said...

The spinning heel kick at 16-17 was the end of shirtless guy. Actually, the end of him was when blackshirt martial arts guy decided to call him out.

tim maguire said...

Shirtless fella had his chances. He was just too slow.

Jeff Goldbloom kicks Harvey Keitel's ass.

I thought the final kick was a cheap shot after the bell. Should have been a disqualification.

Ann Althouse said...

The red wall is a nice backdrop. If I walked by there and no one was around, I would take a photograph of that wall. I love stuff like that.

Never-Biden Never-Putin said...

what bell? This is a street fight.

Readering said...

Put his hand up in submission.

Never-Biden Never-Putin said...

Pay-back for going after his face.

GatorNavy said...

Dominance established

Leland said...

Don't know who started what, but I can see is the shirtless guy surrendered, turned his back, and the other guy still kicked him in the ribs. I agree with Tim, that's a cheap shot and disqualifying.

Howard said...

There is no such thing as a cheap shot in a street fight when you're defending yourself against an aggressor. That last kick insured that there was no fight left in the punk ass b****.

MadisonMan said...

Short Man loses. Never bet against the taller man in a fight.

Left Bank of the Charles said...

Hands up, don’t kick!

It all goes downhill for shirtless guy from moment at the beginning when the tall guy adjusts his glasses.

Never-Biden Never-Putin said...

Agreed, Howard@ 8:53. You end the war and establish dominance. You don't let Saddam retreat to his spider hole.

William said...

I object to the sexist and pejorative term "sugar daddy". There are many older men who take an interest in the younger generation and generously help them pay for college and offer hands on mentoring. We need a kinder,gentler term to describe these men. Benefactors with benefits is kind of wordy but it is a more accurate description of these worthy men.

William said...

Oops. Wrong thread.

Michael K said...

Eva Peron made a pretty good living from the "shirtless ones."

Temujin said...

That neighborhood is MUCH more interesting than mine. Here, we have a person who gets her panties wadded up when someone plants a non-authorized shrub. I know what you're thinking. "There are non-authorized shrubs? Temujin, you need to leave that place and move back to a city where things make sense again. For God's sake, man. You're not dead yet."

I think I've found the epicenter of boring. The bad news is that I kinda like it these days. Gotta run. I'm on landscaper duty today.

Meade said...

If you scroll down through the twitter feed, you can find a clip made by another neighbor that shows what appears to be action previous to this. Shirtless guy brought a long bat to a kung fu fight. His first mistake.

Ice Nine said...

Yeah, I know I have hindsight but I knew that bald guy was going to lose. He was posturing and flailing his arms around and doing that hot dog Hollywood high fist shit and it was clear he didn't know squat about boxing. Contrast with tall guy who is covering up and flat on his feet and ready to strike. Watch bald guy as he makes his first real advance; he goes in with his arms high and spread wide, and his jaw and his belly wide open. Pathetic. I'm amazed he didn't get K/Od right there. The last kick was not a cheap shot; it was a finalizer.

Narr said...

Oh yeah. Shirtless has no idea what he's up to--that posture says it all.

Narr
And I have no problem with kicking a man who isn't down

bagoh20 said...

That kick at the end probably broke a rib, and regardless of what came before, he had surrendered and turned his back. He may have deserved it, but it was battery at that point. He'd end up paying the guy if he got sued. It happened to me as teen, and medical bill are expensive when you make $1.13/hour.

bagoh20 said...

I like the video right below it of the woman scoring a nice layup on the kid.

Shirtless Guy is ObamaBidenClintonDemocratPartyRINOsFakeNews.

Tall Guy is Trump.

Yancey Ward said...

Street fights have no rules- if you go into one thinking they do, you will lose and you could get badly hurt.

Tomcc said...

"Street fights have no rules"; poor slob was probably born too late to learn about such things from Paul Newman as Butch Cassidy.

Bill Peschel said...

I've heard of street fights (there's a great book on the subject called "Violence: A Writer's Guide") in which the guy gives up, only to cold-cock his opponent on the back of his head the moment he turns away.

There are no rules in street fighting. You get your opponent down on the ground and beat him into paste, if only so he doesn't get up again for awhile.

Plus: adrenaline. That shit'll drive you crazy. I have always avoided fights for that reason. The few I got into as a kid scared me that I could do some real damage if I was unleashed.

Favorite story: I was at a bar with a girl, sharing a pitcher of beer at a picnic-style table with benches. It was a narrow space, with one lone aisle (not isle) running from the bar at the back to the door.

We heard men shouting from the bar, followed by the sound of slapping. I took a look at the bar, then at the door. I stood up.

"Bill," she said. "Don't get involved."

I took my mug, walked around the table, and sat down by her. I held my mug up off the table, and we watched the crowd of guys bum-rushing one of them to the door.

They bumped into our table on the way out, spilling her beer while I calmly sipped mine.

She didn't appreciate my moves as much as I did. A perfect Hollywood moment.

Tall skinny guy is Biden. Shorter fatter big mouth is Trump.

Peglegged Picador said...

Do y'all (calling the last kick a cheap shot) even Twitter (I ask because if you do, you'll note that shirtless dude comes back after this first round with a large stick. Seems like skinny guy should have kicked him in the ribs a couple more times)?

MadisonMan said...

Joe Biden is 6 feet tall. Donald Trump is 6' 3".

Sorry Inga, wrong again.

bagoh20 said...

"There are no rules in street fighting"

Oh, contraire. There are not only rules, but laws. I'm no lawyer, thank God, but it seems to me that if shirtless dude so desires, and has medical bills for a broken rib, that winner is gonna find out about the rules. The evidence is on the internet. It was a face to face fair fight, so self-defense for both of them until the threat was gone for the winner, which was when the guy obviously surrendered. The kick was punishment, and that's battery, and liability.

bagoh20 said...

"Tall skinny guy was Biden."

And that's slander. At no time did that man's finger penetrate the other guy's mangina.

Expat(ish) said...

Martial arts guy is lucky shirtless guy didn't have a gun in his pocket.

My summer carry piece used to be a 6 shot DA 32ACP loaded with Horndady soft tips. Completely inaccurate past six feet, but you can put all six shots out in two seconds with practice.

@bagh20 is right according to my CCW instructors in NC and FL - once that final kick came in, the gun could have come out with reasonable "fear for your life." Maybe shirtless wins in court, maybe he doesn't.

Inga said...

“Donald Trump is 6' 3".”

Surrrrrre. And he’s not obese either.

bagoh20 said...

If shirtless comes back for round two with a bat, then you can shoot him if you want, but the bell rang on round one before the kick. I don't make the laws. I just know when not to break them, like when it's on video, which nobody knew, but now days you have to assume.

Narr said...

Internet schminternet. Who's gonna represent Shirtless?

Narr
Tall's already famous!

Narr said...

Oh--for the very FIRST time, just now, the video was blocked for my protection!

I have to ask to see it.

Narr
So thoughtful of them

Worse. A liver shot.

Inga swallowed Maddow. It's all Trump-hate all the time.

The Marines should have taught you to run and cower in place, you fascist.

Guildofcannonballs said...

"Here, we have a person who gets her panties wadded up when someone plants a non-authorized shrub."

Just heard from an HOA contact, she recalled someone she spoke with with a rogue HOA that is asking all tenants who "own" a townhome (or more than one I'd guess) to have all dogs fitted with a bark collar, but only during the day if the tenant isn't home.

Seems reasonable, for pussy-assed Americans today.

Who taught people this shit?

Pro-Trump Ad Plays Reade’s Allegations Over Pictures Of Biden Touching Women

Mary Margaret Olohan on May 12, 2020
Creepy Joe via Daily caller. Kinda funny if you don't like Biden. Kinda disturbing if you do like Biden:


"A pro-Trump super PAC attacked former Vice President Joe Biden over his accuser Tara Reade’s allegations in an ad released Monday.

Great America PAC’s ad, titled “Shattered,” focuses on Reade’s allegations that Biden, a Democratic candidate in the 2020 presidential election, kissed her, touched her, and penetrated her with his fingers without her consent in 1993 when she worked for him as a Senate staffer. Biden has repeatedly denied these allegations.

The ad uses Reade’s voice to tell her allegations of sexual assault “while eerily overlapped with several inappropriate Biden moments with other individuals,” according to the PAC’s .press release

bagoh20 said...

Do we have any video of Trump creepily touching women? If not, why not? It seems to be a prerequisite for Dems. Trump is not going to pull any Dems voters without that. Maybe he could grab Rosie O'Donnell by the dong. Might get some LGBT votes.
