Worst sucker punch I've ever seen.

Tow truck driver broke down on road....holding up a city bus. Tells car driver he needs to back up to clear traffic. If you don't want to see violence...don't click on the video.
Car driver needs to be charged with attempted murder.

Yikes...

Here is one from Seattle. They still have not caught this guy. Kinda tough to watch, so be warned.

I don't understand how such a violent offender, caught on camera, can be released on bail, much less such low bail.

I've got a strong stomach for violence but this is the worst thing I've ever seen, namely the last kick to the head like he was kicking a log. I really wish I hadn't seen it, not something I ever say. That guy is pure evil, definitely something to be put down.

It's interesting, there have been threads on the board before with guys talking about getting in fist fights. I assume they are the kind that most folks think about. A couple of guys trade a couple of punches, then end up wresting a little bit and it's done. Some guys have talked about a couple of guys working things out that way. No great harm, but things get worked out. It almost seems like some guys are for that sort of fight and think things should be worked out that way more often. I've never been in a fight. I don't understand thinking that a fight like that is a way to work things out or bond. And I think the problem is that these days, there are a lot of folks (I've seen lots of videos) that are out to incapacitate, potentially permanently. I would not recommend anyone to engage in a fight because you never know who you're fighting with or what their plan is.

There seems to be way, way too many people today that fight like the guy in that video. And yes, they should be put down.

Even if the truck driver was carrying (maybe he was)....it wouldn't have changed anything.
Once he turned his back...it was over.

Yeah, you never turn your back on an aggressor. That was awful to see.

You're lucky you don't have Maoris. Around here we have to be very capable in a fight because of Maoris and their level of violence. I remember my Mom reading a stat' to me. She said a white guy is 63 time more likely to be assaulted by a Maori than a Maori by a white guy.

One of my buddies was a Army Ranger. He was an easy going guy but at a gas station once some young dipstick punched him while standing at the cash register. The aggressor regretted that punch. It was all on store security, and the clerk and two customers saw it all. The punk was unconscious when the ambulance arrived and the police did not even handcuff my friend. Several people said he was attacked, and then they looked at the video.

If I was expecting an ass kicking by a giant, I'd carry. If someone was going to kick my ass, my goal would be to make sure that didn't happen.

I hear you, Shaun. I think I have, unfortunately, grown rather callous about a lot of this. But this one really moved me - just the level of pure evil on display, they way he walked away like he'd done nothing at all. Just... I've never seen anything quite like that. And he's still out there, somewhere. This obviously was not his first rodeo. Maybe even that day... and he's doing it again, and again, and again...

I've seen that one. I watch that channel quite often. I really like the way he deconstructs the situations he shows us, so that we can learn from them. As I mentioned in another thread, watching that channel regularly has really changed my mind regarding self defense. What I carry, my situational awareness, all of it.

Best part is that unlike the video I linked above, the good guy usually wins. Nothing like watching some violent criminal take the "room temperature challenge".

Agreed. I knew I shouldn’t of looked at it. What was the point, knowing what was going to happen.
