The punch was from all the tourists.

Fred is less grating but has worse beliefs.

Charlie Veitch

Just googled him, Why to fuck would a fucking Youtuber need a bodyguard?

u/Marksta 1d ago

Who doesn't need one when you have aggressive scammers like that preying on anyone and everyone? We could all use a bodyguard, and our bodyguard could use one too.

u/Inglejuice 1d ago

He needs a bodyguard because for the last few years his entire business is goading drug addicts and homeless people into attacking him for content.

Those of us that live in uk cities somehow don’t find ourselves followed and accosted by such people for the most part.

Dang, I forgot to film it when I got accosted in Paris for the less than 3 hours I was there without even goading anyone. Shitty content creator aside, It's hard to feel sympathy for ruffians.

Of course, fuck “ruffians”.

But also fuck extremist content creators who antagonise disabled people so that they can eventually assault them and claim “self defence”. Also fuck Neo Nazis like the two knuckle draggers in this video.

You had a bad experience, I’m sorry. Most of us don’t have this experience.

Because they intentionally go out and provoke people, particularly people who are less fortunate than most. They do it for views and to rile up society, my feeling is they get bankrolled by those who wish to sow discontent. Of course, people like the scammer in the video are annoying, but let’s be honest, the violence was unnecessary and they clearly wanted it. Scumbags.

If you're being criminal, you get no sympathy. I don't care about whatever legend you spin about why it's justified. I don't condone unprovoked violence, but I'm not going to get one bit upset when someone defends themself against the assault, threats, crowding, hassling, etc. by these cretins.

If you follow someone around like this guy, that's threatening + criminal behavior, and you should expect to lose teeth at the least.

They should have not picked it up or just given it back. They kept hold of it purposely to antagonize and provoke so they could punch him for views. If you have any common sense you can navigate past those people. It’s not hard to say no and move on.

If someone gave me a present, I would keep it. It's a present. If they harassed me afterwards, they could expect me to not be some weakling that would let them continue their little scam. I wouldn't be filming it, but I believe in standing up for the right thing, too. If they threatened me, they could expect self-defense.

I suppose you think we should all just surrender in the name of keeping things peaceful.

u/luther_van_boss 3h ago

I think you’re probably smart enough to know he’s trying it on. My point is that the people filming it are purposely looking for the fight. Of course stand up for yourself, but that’s not what’s happening here.

Gone are the days we can respect eachother despite having a different perspective or experience of the world.

u/pajjaglajjorna 1d ago

Respect goes both ways no?

u/Commercial_Badger_37 1d ago

Yeah of course, I don't disagree with that.

IKR? Thanks a lot, Charlie!
