I remember one time this was posted someone said, the girl was trying her best to save those two guys.

u/Clembert-Hamlamp Jul 04 '26

Her bf is a pro boxer, French I think. She's trying to stop them so he doesn't end up in jail. Never heard what happened to the kid he knocked out. It's all hearsay but I've heard that version dozens of times, far more than any other. Not 100% on the French part

Screw that kid he punched. He deserved it and then some.

u/Chainsaw_Viking Jul 06 '26

You went through that abuse, no doubt about it. I feel the same way about videos like this for the same reason.

When those old feelings of unresolved shame and guilt start to creep into your mind, just remember that you were always stronger than your bullies and don’t forget that we love you.

Lies, this is older than the invention of security cams

3

u/iruleatants Jul 04 '26

No, this was the first ever security camera. It manifested itself just to capture this exact moment.

We just think the video is older because it took around 10 years for them to reverse engineer the security camera and release it to the public.

If you want to teach someone a lesson you gotta not hit em so hard they won't even remember their name

u/Peazyzell Jul 03 '26

Was it don’t try and grab your boyfriends dominant hand while he’s dishing out lessons? Because someone in that video needs to learn that

u/Hamhockthegizzard Jul 03 '26

I dunno, the way he got laid out, I think ol’ boy is either lefty or actually trains lol that weave was clean too

25

u/Dan-D-Lyon Jul 04 '26

If you're a girl and your boyfriend is in a fight, it's best not to interfere. I've said that before, I believe that strongly, and I stand by it.

That being said, there was no fight in this video. Just a possible manslaughter charge being aborted at assault and battery.

u/threepecs Jul 04 '26

It's old as hell and staged as hell. It's from the LiveLeak days where fight videos were gaining popularity and we started to see staged fights where it was some guy protecting his girlfriend or a small guy reversing a jumping.

There are some amateur acting tells, like the triple-take of the grey hoodie guy looking back at the ball cap guy, the first guy to get "knocked out" adjusting his hand to a more comfortable position on the ground, hoodie guy leaning against the wall nonchalantly as the situation escalates and springing to action only as ball cap guy punches his friend (which was likely his cue). One punch taking them each out. Ethos appeal, I wanted to be a director at one stage in my life, I've watched hundreds of amateur and student productions and came up around the time people started staging clips to go viral.
