LA road rage Epic fail

[HeavyHanded]

This has been making the rounds, I cannot believe how many mistakes the "victim" made on his way to a butt whuppin. Getting out of the car would be #1, but then he appears to be in much more agitated state than the three others. He then demonstrates his willingness and in fact eagerness to fight. He advances on his man with total disregard for the guy's companions. He takes zero advantage of the cars and concrete barrier to protect himself (not surprising, as he's intent on closing with the first guy he mixes it up with).

IMHO, up until the last couple kicks to the head I'm not even sure the perpetrators were acting unlawfully.

I don't know what led up to it, but it sure looked like an avoidable outcome....

Amongst the Afrikaans people in SA there's a saying for people like the "victim"
"As Jy dom is, moet jy suffer" (if you're dumb / want to be dumb, you must suffer/pay the price)

My German teacher always said "Dumm ist immer dumm. Pillen helfen NICHT!"

That looks like, stupid is [something] stupid and something about pills? (wild guess )

"Stupid is always stupid; pills don't (or never) help."

The link doesn't seem to be working for me but based on the O.P'S description the proverb "fools rush in where wise men fear to tread" springs to mind.

There's another saying I like: "If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough".

Was it John Wayne?
"Life is hard, its even harder when youre stupid".

[A.L.]

We have saying "the whole body suffers for stupid head"

Guy's an idiot. Bit off more than he could chew. I don't think anyone should kick a person that is obviously out of the fight though. Yes, he cut these guys off, yes he should have apologized instead of letting his ego get the better of him but once you go to sleep, you're pretty much done I think.

He had it coming, it looks like he wanted to fight them, not the other way around. Philwar, what do you think about making a sticky thread with videos about self defense, attacks caught on cctv and stuff like that? Something like archive?

[philwar]

I'm not sure I'm the one you should be asking. I'd be interested though.
