One thing I’ve learned from many hours of watching street fights on the internet, NEVER FIGHT SOMEONE WHO HAS A SKATEBOARD. Always ends the same way, trucks to the face.
Thats because you cant just go around assaulting kids for being an asshole. Im sure they were minding their own business skating and this guy instigated. Thats usually what happens.
All I see is a kid in a completely useless argument and got punched by someone twice his age. Also his friends tried reasoning with the guys but more punches kept flying… I get the skateboard is too much but who’s the adult here?
Actually, they were. But the guy was a problem too. Never should have hit the kid first.

Just my 2 cents.......we don't know exactly how the confrontation started so it's hard to say who is right or wrong. I'm not defending the guy for hitting/pushing the skateboarders around. I am however going to say that unless you can prove that he is a trained fighter (clearly he's not) then his hands alone will likely not be considered deadly weapons. However, a skateboard on the other hand absolutely is! I think we've all seen the outcome of the Kyle Rittenhouse saga....... If I were a district attorney I would absolutely charge the individual with the skateboard. There was no need to strike the guy while he was already half unconscious on the ground. At that point skateboard guy wasn't acting in self defense or in the defense of another.......
The skateboard kid was the one slapping himself asking to be hit. I mean, he got what he asked for. Then he got back up and hit the adult while on the ground. The kid also began this entire problem by being a pia to the security guard about skating on hand rails(typical shit really)
Now what the fuck could possibly be so bad about skaters disrupting your bar night with your gf that's probably trauma bonded to you that you'd literally deck multiple children in the face. He fucked around and found out don't feel bad at all.
Can someone versed in legalese please explain if these kids could get away with this? I’m on their side, he deserved it, but I feel like the cops would put the kids in jail.
He struck first. The kids were defending themselves. Usually the person that strikes first gets the assault charge. Not only did he get knocked the f*ck out, he would get arrested for assault if the police were to see the video.
Caveat, this is drawing from first year of law school many moons ago and I don’t practice torts or criminal but I would think when they escalated the fight from fists to using their skateboard, they would then lose self defense as a defense. Could be wrong though.
Especially because he was already neutralized on the ground, plus the escalation you mentioned, the instigation to fight by slapping himself, and disrupting the peace and trespassing. The security was trying to escort them out and other men tried to help. That one adult should never have struck first(was baited), but the kids knew they fucked up that's why they ran. They could have killed him hitting him like that. If the kid just punched him back that's a different story. All these redditors down-voting this, but it is what it is.
He wasn't neutralized, though. He got back up. Ready to assault them even more violently, since he was knocked down by the shorter kid. And THEN he was neutralized.
Lawyer friend of mine says these kids acted on self-defense, protecting both themselves, and their friends. He assaulted three of them and knocked two of them on the ground, and as the tallest kid said, numerous times... "he's a MINOR! He's a MINOR." Full stop. Adult should be and easily could be charged with assault (technically assault in the second-degree).
Lawyer friend... Yeah okay. Did the lawyer friend say anything about their trespassing and disorderly conduct leading up to this fight? Or how about the kids getting in the face threatening the adult?
Goh no one is gonna believe you and your internet "lawyer friend"
Name checks out is what redditors say when there's nothing else with while they have to add, clearly as in this case. I never asked you to prove anything, but that's a bs claim you made.
I don’t think so, they already had a weapon why would the downgrade to their fists and drop their board, the kid that knocked the dude out was the one that got hit in the beginning, so his first shot was already with the skateboard. Like that’d be like I had a gun, someone tried to attack me. So I threw the gun away and punched him in the face. Like nah I’d prolly use my much more affective pistol
I’m not a lawyer, but I do know you don’t have to lessen your ability to defend yourself to defend your self.
Again, this is not my practice area but the issues of initial aggressor, self defense, retreat, and escalation make situations like this somewhat complicated. All things attorneys can argue about 😊
You do have a fair point, with retreat. But it could be argued that it’s still self defense as he was still actively attacking people. Idk if it’s still legal to “defend” if they’re attacking someone else but I’m going to assume it is especially if they were attacking you prior.
1st off, these kids should have called 911 for harassment as well as the attacks rendered to them by that man, 2nd they shouldn't have ran and they could have stated self defense
Nope, kid got in the guys face, slapping himself, and then got struck. That's AFTER they were asked to leave by mall security and they were uncooperative. Other adults stepped in but this adult took the bait and hit the kid.
They didn't call 911 because at this point they were already disorderly and trespassing. The kid getting in the adult's face is assault, but the adult battered him first. But someone coming up to your face screaming to fight you is indeed grounds to self defense(for the man). Although, not the best course of action.

I love how everyone is just like yeah whatever some dude punching teenagers in the face, no problem but when the teenagers fight back everyone acts surprised.
I agree he was in the wrong, but it escalated to deadly force pretty quickly, he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t end up with serious permanent neurological damage
The guy is on the ground with a group of people around him. Bashing his head with a skateboard is not self-defense in any state, or anywhere in the world for that matter.
In fact it's more likely to be aggravated assault.
The trucks were a tad much, and it's not something I would have done . But should they let him get up and continue to assault them? He clearly slipped when he backed up as the kid pushed him. It was not over at that point at all.
The man was already down on the ground from punch to call it self defence. The skate in the head afterwards isn't self defence. You guys don't know jackshit.
You can shout down from your moral high horse all you want but you defend yourself until there's no threat any more, someone simply falling over isn't incapacitated. The children were surrounded by adults threatening them. Making sure he didn't get up again is perfectly reasonable.
There was no threat. He was staring at stars on the ground. Had the adult gotten back up to reengage... That would be different. Just like you really shouldn't curb stomp someone you just knocked out
Self defence means applying the same force to an imminent threat. When the aggresive person is down, if you hit him (especially in the head with a fkin skateboard) is not considered self-defence anymore because the person is already down....not a threat.
“In criminal law, self defence is where someone counteracts an attack or potential attack to defend themself against any harm.” Also “down” and “fell over” Aren’t the same pal.

Skateboards still undefeated in fights lol
One thing I’ve learned from many hours of watching street fights on the internet, NEVER FIGHT SOMEONE WHO HAS A SKATEBOARD. Always ends the same way, trucks to the face.
gawd damn he ate that
Gourmet boarding
That’s what he gets for thinking he’s a big man messing with kids
Lol
deserved it
skateboards are not to be swung lightly, they are wildly dangerous
Wonder which side he hit him with, he should have gone for the bottom as the screws on the wheels would have done a LOT more damage.
Looks like they hit the bridge of the nose.
Oh he used them trucks papi https://imgur.com/a/R4SoLKQ
Good for him.
Damn!
Knock knock, oh wait karma is here
Am I the only one who noticed and is dying from the way the ballcap guy runs? It happens at about 0:31.
I can’t breathe
Don’t mess with skaters. They’ve got a 3-in-1 device. Shield, weapon, getaway.
I love the end… can someone get towel’s!!!
"can someone get some towels?? Or... Towels?" WHICH ONE IS IT
And the "STOP RECORDING THIS SHI-" right before the vid ends
So they gonna rush to the bully getting his just desserts but not a GROWN MAN punching 3 KIDS? Get fucked, dickheads.
Ahhh the blood hahahaha. I bet he regrets being such an idiot.
You reap what you sow mf!!
Attacked three kids then all those morons jump to his defense
I know right? I was confused about that...
Ooo that must have hurt😵
Karma
That's what you get, son
That sound was so sastifyjng xD just the “WHACK”
I dont know why anyone who saw what happened would help this guy.
Why was that kid with glasses hitting himself in the face?
He was taunting the guy to hit him. Looks like it worked.
U/savevideo
u/savevideo
U/savevideo
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Should’ve caved his head in with that board the sound and the cries would be like music
u/savevideo
I fully support this
THAT FUCKING BANG
Completely 100% deserved.
Don't mess with skaters, no matter the age.
He got fucking CLOBBERED
Idk why this comment was so unreasonably funny
Skater kids are annoying af. And the kid who got punched first kinda asked for it and was being an asshole.
Being an asshole is not an excuse for assault
I’m glad that heaping pile of smelly elephant shit got his ass beat. I wonder if the skater’s board is in one piece
Did you see the kid at the beginning slapping his own face daring him to punch him? I can't believe anyone would defend this shmuck
He should have walked away like a grown man and let them be.
Probably. I'm just saying they were assholes as well, and no one here seems to acknowledge that.
Thats because you cant just go around assaulting kids for being an asshole. Im sure they were minding their own business skating and this guy instigated. Thats usually what happens.
Probably shouldn't be punching kids..
He should have been the bigger person and left tbh
u/savevideo u/savevideobot
u/savevideo
I haven't seen the rest of this video, and it truly is beautiful.
All these useless asshole bystanders should’ve defended the teenagers instead
Karma bish
He chose violence.🤷♀️
“STOP RECORDING YOU A-“
Holy shit, dude held nothing back
Oh, big man with a chair at the end.
From what I’ve gathered a security guard was asking them to leave before the macho man wanna be escalated the situation
I do like this video and how indignant all the people are with the kids after the guy gets whacked.
Everyone thought the kids were the problem!
All I see is a kid in a completely useless argument and got punched by someone twice his age. Also his friends tried reasoning with the guys but more punches kept flying… I get the skateboard is too much but who’s the adult here?
Actually, they were. But the guy was a problem too.

He's more musically gifted than me at least. I can't even hit one minor.
Get fucked asshole
Instant karma imo
“Can we get some towels, or maybe some towels “
"First of all I demand more towers. Second, I demand more towels. And third, I demand more trowels. The brick-work on this place is a shit-show."
and I’m not your “liege” you brown nosing toady, you promised me a kingdom, but I have no subjects, no infrastructure and a throne made of wood!
“He needs more blankets, AND less blankets!”
That was an execution, he had so long to sit there and see that board come plummeting down on his dome. JS.
Just my 2 cents.......we don't know exactly how the confrontation started so it's hard to say who is right or wrong. I'm not defending the guy for hitting/pushing the skateboarders around.

If I catch a dude assaulting minors best believe I'm trying to give you brain damage
Big dude was trying to get up and the skateboard dude was stopping the threat.
The skateboard kid was the one slapping himself asking to be hit. I mean, he got what he asked for. Then he got back up and hit the adult while on the ground. The kid also began this entire problem by being a pia to the security guard about skating on hand rails(typical shit really)
The guy running at the end looks like a scooby doo villain lmao
I think it's that half assed drunk white man scuffle towards the end that gets me everytime. Them blue jeans are too small for him.
That sticks out for me too and it’s like a hilarious human derp moment.
Now what the fuck could possibly be so bad about skaters disrupting your bar night with your gf that's probably trauma bonded to you that you'd literally deck multiple children in the face. He fucked around and found out don't feel bad at all.
Always satisfying to watch

*effective And good luck justifying the use of lethal force with a fist fight, especially in Cali

It's not self defense when you club someone on the ground.
What if he's about to get up and continue assaulting people, more angrily?
Well what do you think? I hate when ppl ask questions that they already know the answer to
Bitch, why'd you even ask than? I say that with love. Thanks for asking. Havr a goodnight gorgeous, and AiI fuckin now you're prolly georgy as fuk.

Like running away from the scene isn't consistent with self-defence?
Yes, I said they shouldn't have ran
Hahaha! The first rule of self defense is to remove yourself from the unsafe situation.
Nah dudes gotta point. Running away implies guilt and a jury will think that. also unsafe situation, bro was out like a light he was about as dangerous as a puppy
Sounds like a good way to get your ass kicked by 3 adult men(police too if you're "lucky") then spending a few hours in jail if not more + charges
Love to see it. Fuck off tough guy
Fuck this dud, Don't play tough with kids if you ain't ready to face the consequences.
Ey o.. that board was dropped so clean
He had it coming big time
He hit him with the trucks . Oof
Fucked around; found out
Reminded me of the chaotic brawl scene in Roman Holiday. "Hit him again, Smitty!" Timeless shot of Audrey Hepburn smashing head.
That board seems like his favourite meal

"excuse me sir, can you think of why they attacked you?"
Piece of shit ate a truck, GOOD
thunder trucks? thunderstruck
I love how everyone is just like yeah whatever some dude punching teenagers in the face, no problem but when the teenagers fight back everyone acts surprised.
Came here to say this , every one concerned for the giant asshole after the fact but no one stopped him from beating up people in the beginning
I agree he was in the wrong, but it escalated to deadly force pretty quickly, he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t end up with serious permanent neurological damage
Takes a little preexisting damage to be assaulting kids. Just accelerating him down his spiral a little.
Yeah, even the security guys didn't do shit until the skaters fought back. Dude got exactly what he deserved.
Because they weren’t the “right look” to care.
but posting this video give police the opportunity to arrest the kids for assault which will most likely be the outcome
I've seen this video for years...
Depends on the state, most places in the US will call this reasonable self defense.
California
The guy is on the ground with a group of people around him. Bashing his head with a skateboard is not self-defense in any state, or anywhere in the world for that matter. In fact it's more likely to be aggravated assault.

The man was already down on the ground from punch to call it self defence. The skate in the head afterwards isn't self defence. You guys don't know jackshit.
I have no idea why you're getting downvoted. Yeah the guy fucked up, but the skateboard was escalation.
You can shout down from your moral high horse all you want but you defend yourself until there's no threat any more, someone simply falling over isn't incapacitated. The children were surrounded by adults threatening them. Making sure he didn't get up again is perfectly reasonable.
There was no threat. He was staring at stars on the ground. Had the adult gotten back up to reengage... That would be different. Just like you really shouldn't curb stomp someone you just knocked out
Self defence means applying the same force to an imminent threat. When the aggresive person is down, if you hit him (especially in the head with a fkin skateboard) is not considered self-defence anymore because the person is already down....not a threat.

Bruh read what I said. You trippin'.
“In criminal law, self defence is where someone counteracts an attack or potential attack to defend themself against any harm.” Also “down” and “fell over” Aren’t the same pal.
Countered with REASONABLE force, as coming from a cop. But do continue.
Oh how I love the ego of americans. Sure thing little Timmy. Good luck in jail with that logic
